I have to be honest, flipper detents need to be stronger.

I just used the bit on the left in a pin vise to do my caribbeans. Worked perfectly. Take your time and eyeball the fit by hand after each round of turns to see your progress. https://www.harborfreight.com/diamond-p ... 69653.html I plan on doing a couple shamans next.

Those look pretty good. I assume they're 1/8" shank? I could use a set of diamond bits for my rotory tool. I was just in Harbor Freight near me. I wish I would've seen those

Yep, 1/8 standard dremmel size. I ordered these also but they were all too small.

I’m a fan of strong detents for both opening reliably without a wrist flick assist and strong enough that it doesn’t open no matter how hard I flick my wrist without using the flipper tab.

Thanks! I have a whole bunch of small ones. Your post made me realize it might be handy to have a few more 1/8" shank ones. I have a fancy ($$$) rotary tool designed for use in dental laboratories. It was originally set up to take the smaller shank burs but I was able to buy a bigger chuck for it to accept the 1/8" shank bits. I've also been thinking about getting a cordless Dremel but I need to figure out if I can use the little Jacob's chuck I had for my old one that died several years ago

Well the Caribbeans are like totally different knives now. Along with the Frost Grey Dyemore done earlier this week. When new you could shake the blades out. I never trusted them in my pocket. One's in my pocket right now though!

A stronger detent does make a huge difference IMO

I have a bottle of Frost Grey too. I didn't like the really light grey they used on the Para 3 Cruwear sprint. So I dyed it to be more like the PM2 Cruwear
