Wave bit driver awl?
on: January 21, 2013, 01:02:41 AM
So I was wondering has anyone here made an awl that fits into the bit driver for the wave? I think I am going to make two of them, one that can close into the tool and a longer one that can't close into the tool. I want to see any you guys have already made. If any of you have pictures of yours or any advice for doing this tell me here, thank you!

I think metro (Eric) has done this.
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

No, but I think Bob did. He took a spade bit and ground it down. You'll also have to profile the edges down so it can it into the holder.

I think it was a 1/4" spade bit.

Be careful not to put too much load onto the bit holder, they don't look all that strong (and I've seen photos of broken ones   :oops: ).

These mods are the kind of thing someone needs to be selling. Not here per say although that is an option. I saw some adapters that covert the leatheman bit driver to a 1/4 driver on eBay. I guess ther probably isn't enough money in doing it. It seems the guy selling them on eBay no longer does it.
Bob sold some saws though edc source although I think those could have gone for a higher price.

Wished there was a setting on embedded playback to speed up his long winded and annoying voice commentaries.
