I got tired if wielding two torx bits to tension my mods and stuff. I took a cue from a watch repair kit and made an operating table.
A took a chunk of nylon (didn't have any wood around), could of done it with bilet aluminum but nylon is faster and drilled a hole the same diameter of a 1/4" torx bit. The drilled a perpendicular hole and tapped it with a 1/4 20 thread to accept a bolt to secure the bit in.
Lined both sides with cork for friction of both the tool being operated on and the work bench surface. I also drilled sets of holes along the body to store commonly used bits (t10, five point t10, etc)
The bit protrudes a bit above the surface and engages the bolt on the MT. Using downward pressure holds the tool in place while a mini ratchet takes care of the driving.
I think I may make one in aluminum later but for proof of concept and 20 mins later done!
Bit Storage
Torque'n!
No MTs were hurt during the making of this operation table. Future MTs may not be.
