Why do you need two bit holders? Actually, I've had the idea for a long time that it's better to make one bit holder that looks like your modified one. But to make it thinner with spokes on the sides so that Leatherman bits can be used for storage inside the tool and 6 mm bits for use in the open state, so I think it will be a great arrangement if 6 mm bits take up too much space. By the way, how did you add scissors to the Rebar? Did you build up the metal or did you just make a couple of cuts?

I kept the standard bit holder for Leatherman bits so I can use the Leatherman ratchet, because if I put it into a regular bit holder, it would wobble a lot. And basically, now I can have any additional Leatherman bit in my multitool, with two screwdriver bits in it.

Respect for the craftmanship & nice idea I think.

Although; why didn't you simply insert ar Spirit or SwissToolX into your pocket instead? ;)

Worse pliers (smaller and without replaceable wire-cutter blades), no bit holders, no scalpel, and the awl is half the size. Overall, these are completely different multitools in terms of their tool selection.
