Re: what's in the tech bag

Online shopping, ah, yes. be carefull as to cost can be doubled with shipping returns alone.

Just thinking what i use to carry that was unusally or most would not carry and i remember an extention female to male power cord. I found i needed it more often than not. If i pulled the machine out a bit with the use of the extension power cord, it made life much easier and i could get access to the machine easily. But that was just me doing things my way.

just want to make sure as to what i am talking about here. Many may know this extension cord exist and many may not. but here is a pic of what it is.
the white male goes into the female of the black cord therefore another three feet of machine space can be achieved. you attach it to the machine power cord.
I have gone to many places where the machine is so wedged in that is was difficult to work. i can also use it on my vacum using the same machine power cord as the power source instead of looking for another outlet or uplugging the machine power cord from its socket.

Only one thing. don't leave it attached when you are done. take it with you.

Here is a three dollar plier i bought. i did a bit of modification to make things simpler. What it is used for ?, it's patent secret or maybe someone can figure it out.

It looks like it would be handy for removing Jesus clips.

Damn, I want one of those; sort of like the larger ShopSmith, but easily portable.

Re: what's in the tech bag

Would love to know a quality screw driver out there,one that has attachments for the majority of screw heads.

I buy a Wiha set (HP/Toolkit from TSA world-www.tsaworld.com) that uses Drive-loc blades. It comes in a green canvas pouch with velcro closure. All of the blades are double ended. #2 and #1 Phillips, the two sizes of flat blades, all the common size torque blades, the common hex blades, the common nut blades (hp printers and plotters), the handle, and an extension rod for deep set screws. Drive-loc lets you adjust the length of the blades at a whim and the blades are locked in, so they don't fall out when you're working.


There isn't a photo on their website, but if you wanted to take a look. It's here (see link below). I keep the phillips blade in it most of the time.

I hate to be pedantic but I think its 5.5mm you meant as i have one.

Unfortuantely Canon seem to have ditched these hex head screws in the newer models to round head that guess what, round off.

The Drive-Lok looks interesting ... but where does it say magnetic? I've got no patience for fetching screws off of the floor.

I just keep a couple of magnetize blocks in my bag. Makes every bit magnetized.

Try some neodymium 4 or 5mm disc magnets on the other end of your screwdriver bit.

I have been wanting to find disc magnets to use with sockets and nut drivers but didn't know what to search for in the past.

Yea neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets you can buy.
If you want to be really cheap, you can get neodymium magnets out of hard drives (magnetic hard drives only--not solid state hard drives).
