DIY pocket suspension clip
on: September 17, 2011, 02:40:45 AM
After spending about $12 for a commercial suspension clip, I made a more economical version.   

I used a small vise and a locking pliers to bend a clip from a key ring into the proper shape.  Short lengths of heat shrink tubing cover the ends.  So far, it works even better than commercial version.  The steel is springy so it grips the pocket edge well without being as difficult to remove as the $12 titanium version.
