Kobalt screwdriver upgrade with Sugru

Kobalt screwdriver upgrade with Sugru
In this instructable I will be showing you all how to upgrade the crappy grip on an otherwise awesome little screwdriver.

The friendly people at Kobalt make this nice little precision screwdriver that has 8 different tips that store in the handle. The only problem is that the little rubber grip is not attached to the handle in any fashion it just is friction fitted in place so when you grip it to twist a fastener the grip just spins on the handle.

This instructable will show you very simply how to remove the old grip and replace it with a nice custom made sugru grip.
