Leatherman 931009 Bit Driver Extension
At first glance, the first-party Leatherman bit driver extender seems more of a convenience than a necessity. However, modern Leatherman multi-tools have switched from the old multi-tool screwdriver style--several, dedicated screwdrivers--to a single large bit driver compatible with any of Leatherman's forty-plus proprietary double-ended bits. While the bit driver affords vast expandability for a Leatherman multi-tool, it does sacrifice the reach that a dedicated screwdriver would otherwise lend. With this bit driver extender, not only do you extend the reach of your driver, thus enabling you to reach recessed screws otherwise impossible to engage, but it also grants you the ability to use any standard 1/4"-drive hex bit. The bit driver extender can also be used with any Leatherman tool or knife that features a large bit driver (Charge models, Surge, Wave, e306x/e307x, k502x/k503x, h502/h503). Not only that, but the removable bit drivers available for various other Leatherman tools (Juice series, Core, Blast, Fuse, Kick (Leatherman 830045 Removable Bit Driver for Blast/Fuse/Kick), and even all three pruners models) accept the bit driver extender. Actually, any 1/4"-drive hex bit extension would accept this bit driver extender. The bit driver extender conveniently fits in one of the elastic side pockets featured on some Leatherman sheaths.
If you have a leatherman (one of the more modern ones with the interchangeable drivers bits) then you need this extension bar. It enables you to get at those awkwardly placed screws and bolts. Best of all this and the bit set all fit in my leather surge sheath.
Leatherman - don't leave home without it.
The new Leatherman multitool's use a bit driver instead of fixed drivers. I wasn't sure how I would like this when I got my new Charge... bit I only had 2 problems. The slim shape of the bits prevents using regular 1/4" bits, and the bits do not extend out very far. Not usually problems, but every so often it causes an issue. This extension fits in-between the elastic of the sheath perfectly, and solves both of the problems I have. The extra length means I can reach almost every screw, and the extension is a full size 1/4" driver on the end.
