Gerber Dime 5min bitholder mod.
on: January 10, 2019, 09:08:39 PM
Here I present my creation.
Someone may have done it before me, but I couldn't find something similar.
This is my first time of modding multitool, so don't judge me hard. And I believe there's plenty of room for improvements.

 Dime is a nice little multitool with some terrible tools, like the flimsy 2d philips head on a wannabe file.
Since I happen to run into need of using Ph heads quite often, I decided to add to Dime a proper philips, or in this case it could be any other, head.
The mod is super easy. All you need to do is grind down about 0,5mm  from both sides of the bit, and file down small notches on the inside of bottle opener.
I'm planning to improve the mod by making a flat head on the other side of the bit. Now I don't have any power tools on me, so couldn't do it. Off the shelf reversible bit doesn't fit, it's too long.
To improve this mod a little bit, one could put some sort of wedge in the gap under the bit. Also it's possible to bend the opener towards blades to make an attack angle of the bit steeper.
For me it works as it is.

P.S. please excuse my poor english.

Very cool, if you can find a double ended bit with a flat head and a Phillips at the right length that may be enough for you. Rather than making a flat end.
