(Part 2) Best multitool accessories according to redditors

OK, telescopic magnet to find the clip you've lost ... or, search for the correct size r clip

Do yourself a favor and grab a set of plastic pry bars... they won't damage trim and I find myself using them all the time (car, computer, phones, remotes, etc).

Now pry off the top tray above the radio. You'll see a phillips head screw holding the trim to the panel. Remove that.

Now pull the entire center trim towards you and it'll pop right out. Attached are the airbag light and heat/ac controls... you can remove those connectors. Just know upfront that if you remove the airbag light, you will get an airbag warning which you can reset using a procedure I'll link later on. Don't freak out!

Next you will see 4 screws holding the radio in... it's really that simple. I'd bite the bullet and put a real radio in. You can find something for under $100 with an adapter.

Airbag Light Reset:
> 1. Turn the key from off to on.
>
> 2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.
>
> 3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)
>
> 4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.
>
> 5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.
>
> 6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

I bought one of these when I was having a tool spending spree and at the time it was maybe £2 so it was a "why not?" moment.

Ended up being pretty useful and the claw is made of spring steel and will hold whatever it gets very firmly. Don't stick your finger there though or any other appendages.

For that price, get something from Occidental Leather. I like the electrician's pouch over the electrician's case because it curves to my leg more.

Oops, didn't see the drill part, but I'd get a separate pouch or holster for that.

i use this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-40-Specialist-Lubricant-PTFE-400ml/dp/B006UCJ4Z4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1482058314&sr=8-2&keywords=wd40+ptfe

For £4. I think some of the items could really be found cheaper, leaving more room in the budget for the little things like sharpening stones, cordage, cutlery and things like that which we often dont consider.

One thing I havnt got on there which is an absolute must is a First Aid Kit.

EDIT: Another thing to consider is that my list is all UK based suppliers and it may be possible to get the items cheaper in the US or similar items by different suppliers.

> an extendable magnet for when you drop a nut or bolt,

speaking of, a magnetic parts tray is also nice. Gives you somewhere to put the parts in the first place.

The belt holster for a Leatherman fits my Duke perfectly. Also works for my Reo Grand and Reo Mini V1 as well. My Gi2, now that's a different story. Sometimes you can find gun magazine/clip holsters at an army surplus for pretty cheap, and they work well for tube mods. I'll be debuting my "tactical vape utility belt" at VaporMania.

Ok thank you, I’ll have to swing by a supply house and check it out. Any chance this field piece one is any good? https://www.amazon.com/Fieldpiece-ATWB1-K-Type-Thermocouple-Alligator/dp/B000TMK31U/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1525181031&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=wet+bulb&dpPl=1&dpID=21hm99DD6qL&ref=plSrch

I just recently fell into a sewing machine tip. Mini Stubby screwdrivers and phililps head screws.

I used to hate lint cleaning my machine mainly because getting into it was fraught with such peril. There was not enough clearance to use either the screw driver that came with the machine or any other of the ones in the house and then the little screws would bounce out and jump to the floor so I'd have to get down on all fours to find them. And after, getting those things back in was a PIA.

This week I fixed the problem.

I actually never found one of the screws so I went off to Home Depot with the other one in hopes of finding a match. They have this cool display that's kind of like a knitting needle gauge. I found the size of the screw and then found a match in their drawers. But all they had was phillips head. Oh well.

Then I went to Amazon and ordered these Mini Stubby Screwdrivers.

The phillips head screws are MUCH easier to manage - both in and out - and the little stubby screw drivers are heaven!

Now that I have the right tools, I am a sewing machine cleaning machine!

Look into Hilmor 9 in 1. Has everything you need plus 3/8 and a schrader tool.
