    I've been looking for ages at options for a pocketable EDC bit driver. After trying a few I've found the best is a very simple but very capable solution, way better than those specific EDC bit drivers like LeverGear Bitvault (£40), CRKT Pocket Driver Stash (£45), James Brand Cache River (£60), Maratac nub (£20 but tiny and smooth, not really fit for purpose). It's the basic small Wera 813. 78mm/3 in long, about the size of a Bic lighter. Usual Wera ergos and quality. Can use as stubby just with 1/4 in bits, add an extender for more reach. £10 on the bay.
    However I've just realised that the Wiha product is just an adaptor/extender which I don't need, the Anex handle looks good too, but they're only available from Japan and the p&p is exhorbitant.

      Yeah, I've been wondering if it's worth importing tools from Japan to sell at more reasonable prices than buying one-offs. But I don't know how much demand there'd be.
      I have considered the Wera 813 but I'm not ready to give up my Centrotec/double-sided bits just yet…

      @@theahmadperson I don't see the point in you getting the Wera 813 (doesn't take double sided bits) as you already have the Anex handle. As far as I can see it takes standard 1/4 in bits without the Centrotec adapter? So you already have that option.

    Does the Centrofix bit fully seat in the Anex handle?

    • @theahmadperson
      @theahmadperson  Год назад

      Depends what you mean. It seats until the ball bearing hits its detent but isn't fully retained there, and continues to seat further down (fully "bottomed-out" but held only by friction)
      It's fairly secure but this is why I mentioned wanting to glue it in at the time; Pulling up on the Centrofix to eject can sometimes pull the adapter out back to the detent.

      @@theahmadperson Thanks. I suppose I could cut a section of an old hex bit as a spacer to let it bottom out and be secured by the detent. I'd hate to have to keep up with that little piece tho!
      A Japanese video reviewer suggested this handle was not too robust. Any thoughts?

      @@johncarpenter6275 it's plenty solid but not the most ergonomic in this scenario (too narrow). I much prefer using the Anex compact ball head (non-ratcheting), which also has a little stronger retention, but that won't fit in this pouch.

      @@johncarpenter6275 ah, it's the 3780 to which I'm referring, that's my favourite with the Centrofix. My 397 doesn't live up to expectations, and I'd like to try a 3775

    Was yours misaligned?

    • @theahmadperson
      @theahmadperson  2 года назад +1

      Not sure if it's misalignment or a bent shaft, but yes, the Centrofix has more runout than you would expect. You really don't notice it in a hand tool, though!
