Introduction: Leatherman Sidekick Driver Bit Mod
The leatherman sidekick what a excellent edc muti tool.
If come with a changeable screw driver bit, like the wave it would be perfect
Step 1: The Tool
What you will need :
A small file the same thickness with the sidekick's flat head screwdriver , about 2 mm thick
A regular 1/4" bit adapter with a square end
It will be easier if you got a vise , in this case I did it free hand
Step 2: File to Fit the Adapter
The squire side of a regular 1/4" bit adapter, should almost fit in to the flat head screw driver
File a notch in the conner of the square side to accept the driver, file slow and keep square, don't file too much keep checking the progress
Step 3: Try It Out
Finished product
I am planing to insert a strong magnet in the bit holder , to keep the bit stick with the leatherman
