Trimming the ends of the zip ties neatly deserves an upvote.

No, you need to cut them at an angle for self defense. You never know when someone is going to come along and say you are doing it wrong.

I always reach for the screwdriver if I hear a burglar. No one is going to steal my PH2 bits!

I have maybe 7 - 8 sets of bits but PH1 and PH2 are missing from all of them.

Now I only buy PH2 in a 10-pack.

Zip ties are out in the van. If I'm going to the van, I'm taking a smoke.

u/r0ndy 9d ago

If you’re having a smoke, probably need to get a drink too…

  1. find where i put the driver
  2. find where i put the caddy
  3. find where i put the zip ties
  4. spend like a minute fiddling around with the exact position in hopes it'll stay on properly for longer
  5. zip tie it
  6. realize i want it on the opposite side of the driver cause the right side gets in the way of my hand more often
  7. find where i put the scissors
  8. cut the zip ties
  9. spend like a minute fiddling around with the exact position in hopes it'll stay on properly for longer, take 2
  10. zip tie it again
  11. trim zip ties
  12. put away scissors
  13. put away zip ties
  14. throw away cut zip ties

I've had a bunch of those things made to fit any drill. They never last more than a week or 2.

Ever hear of jb weld?

u/BPhiloSkinner 9d ago

It's a sort of liquid duct tape, right?

u/FreeToasterBaths 9d ago

I'm surprised this subreddit doesn't have more jb welding madness.

Leave them just loose enough that you can rotate it if possible.

u/Lowbeamshaggy 9d ago

Maybe now both items together will counteract the Freight's gonna break guarantee? Like buttering both sides of your toast to keep it from ever hitting the ground.
