your LM bits of choice...
on: March 08, 2009, 02:38:19 AM
I like to carry both bit cards in the nylon sheath. But the leather sheath doesn't conform like it and can only hold one bit card at a time. What bits do you like to carry/should I carry?

For me, Phillips/standard screwdrivers and metric Allen wrenches are most useful

I usually carry along 1 customized bit card.. It has mostly philips and slotted bits; as well as my modded awl and chisel.

Mine has all the different phillips bits, a few slotted bits and most of the standard allen bits. I also have a modded chisel.

I use mostly allen head screws when I make stuff. That's why I carry those. Plus we use them a lot at work.

Mostly Phillips and Allen wrenches.   A couple of flat-heads.
I encounter Torx rather rarely, and Robertson drive like never.
I am not sure I have ever had to loosen or tighten a Posi-Drive screw.  If so,  I probably reached for a Phillips :(

I've got all of my commonly used bits on one card, which lives in my bag. I would say that the standard flat / phillips supplied n the adapter does for about 80% of what I come across without prior warning to get the right bits. The Squirt S4 covers off about a further 15% - so it's rare that I don't have what I need.
I used to come here a lot.

Me too, I have crammed what I need into one card. I like the fact there is a 6mm allen driver in there.

The LM Allen bits are actually quite good.  I have torqued the heck out of them with no rounding of the bolt.  Really innovative, IMO

What does your modded awl look like?

I would take a selection according to what I might be getting up to - like am I on the bike etc. For EDC I would think a couple sizes of each pozis, flatheads and maybe 4 & 6 mm kex keys might be the most useful.
