What tools can be paired with the magnifying lens
on: March 17, 2017, 02:40:47 PM
I've been playing with the idea of building my own SAK.
Initially I had the idea to pair two magnifying lenses to make a miniature telescope, but that would make a very big SAK.
So I figured another usefull combo: Light and Magnifier besides each other.
That way you can light what you are looking at. Perhaps I have to matte the LED to make this work.

However, both are normally paired with a philips screwdriver. Are there any tools I can use instead of a philips screwdriver?

I think the LED points in the wrong direction to use with the magnifying glass...
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

The only tools I've seen in layers with the mag lens have been either the flashlight (you'll need the new mag lens for it to fit right) or Phillips screwdriver, whose length differs slightly depending on the age of the SAK they're on.

Thanks for your replies. I was afraid this would be the answer as it's all I could find about it.
