Title: Nano Socket
Post by: WoodMan on February 14, 2016, 01:15:27 AM: Cool little keychain tool from KeySmart: the Nano Socket. Really tiny and it gives you two different ways to grip any standard 1/4" hex bit and a small slotted screwdriver.

I quite like the idea of the Nano Socket, although you will not be able to use lots of torque, it might be all you need in a pinch.

Post by: tallowwaters on March 07, 2016, 07:16:45 PM: A 1/4" hex key through the bit holders may add a good deal of torque.

Post by: Fortytwo on March 07, 2016, 08:19:45 PM: I wonder if it would hold up to much more torque? There can't be very much material actually holding the bit in place. This could prove problematic if you put it in a SAK where the handle will allow for much higher forces.

Hey Buddy!! :drink: You know me, I disappear like a fox in the night. Haha!! All is well with me. Had a rough year last year but things are looking up. I'm happy with life and just trying to catch up on all the things I'm behind on. It never ends... :ahhh

If you're still looking they are available from Heinnie Heynes, happened to see them when placing an order recently.

Fair bit cheaper then, at almost six I didn't pick one up despite how interesting it looks.

Post by: kingofswords on March 05, 2020, 09:07:17 PM: no theyre too long unfortunately , perhaps if you cut a bit of in middle it could fit but might be bit weak.

Yes, replace magnifier. Beef it up a little for the forward holding position. And have a custom scale that holds a few bits? :tu:
