Anyone know how I could get this magnet out to make room for the leatherman bits?


Then modify this to fit the bit exchanger on my Rave and Surge.

Heat will make the magnet fall out :). And slow grind the sides till it fits properly :)
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

 :drink: progress!  Well it fits the bit exchanger. The propane torch worked amazing to remove the magnet. It will fit the LM bits but without a magnet they fall right out.

Yes, however without the magnet the bit falls out.

Have you tried to magnetize the whole bit holder ? (won't work if it isn't the right steel).

You may be able to get a smaller magnet that will work too ;).

What's wrong with the LM extender and bit kit? I've always thought about making my own, but the time it would take me to make one that I like, it would have been easier to spend $10 :)

The lm bit extender is great with the lm bits but the little stubby bits fall down too deep and are a pain in the ass to get back out.
