DIY bit holder with belt clip

Posted at 17:03 on January 26th 2010 in Lifestyle hacks, Worklogs

A couple of weeks ago my Leatherman broke while fixing a window at work, so I bought a new one. With it I bought a bit extender, which let’s me use standard hex bits with it. Naturally, I needed a way to carry the bits around…

To make this thing I disassembleda cheap knife to get a solid belt clip and metal back plate. I then found one of those hex bit “bandoliers” and a piece of leather. I glued the leather piece to the metal plate attached to the belt clip, and then glued the bit holder on top of that, followed by the other end of the leather piece wrapped around the bit extender tightly and then glued in place. The end result is a nice solid belt clip that holds both the bit extender and 10 hex bits.
