Title: Skeletool Saw Holder
Post by: Craiger on April 05, 2014, 06:56:29 AM: Just on a whim I took an extra t-shank blade and gently ground one of the T's to fit the Skeletool bit holder. The blade wobbles side-to-side, and can be wrestled out, but in actual use the saw stays put well enough to cut. I cut a #10 screw without issue.

I have a Surge and Crunch for my saw-holding needs, but die-hard Skeletool users might like this one, if someone hasn't already done it! Never hurts to have a hacksaw in your glovebox.

The grinding should happen on the side of the "T" that is going in the "valley" of the bit holder. The remaining "T" should be left untouched as that side engages nicely with the bit holder lock.

So in other words, you can choose the orientation of the teeth depending on which "T" you grind to fit.

Not only did I take a bad photo, I also (in my opinion) ground the wrong side!

Thanks!

Maybe shrinkwrap around the blade end. :dunno:
