Improving the Leatherman

[jgmrequel]

The Leatherman series of tools are really great. I carry one daily. But, annoyingly, they use a proprietary form of screwdriver bit and the holder for them on the tool will not accept the ubiquitous 1/4" hex bits available everywhere.

I cannot find the article where I read it, but this was done in part to save space, and as you discovered, it's still a 1/4 hex. Acknowledging this deficiency, they do sell an adapter for proper 1/4" bits:

but it's nowhere near as cool or cheap as something you make yourself.
