I like the Mini screwdriver,comes in very handy now I have to wear glasses to read.
I have my nylon Huntsman,problem is,the little Fire Ant rides in my Huntsman,and have nowhere to put the mini SD!
As I also have my Swisstool "X" in the side pouch of my EDC backpack,I thought maybe I could put it there somewhere.
With necessity being the mother of invention,I did this!
Fits under the phillips driver on the Swisstool like it was made for it,and it doesnt rattle and wont fall out.
Just have to remember it's in there when I go to use tools from this side though.
Hope this helps others.:thumbsup:

If you have the corkscrew add-on for the Swisstool then you can use it to carry the mini screwdriver, but there is nothing to prevent the mini screwdriver from falling out of the corkscrew.

I came up with a simple trick to stop that from happening.

Get a small rubber 'O' ring.

Twist the 'O' into an '8'.

Fold the '8' in half to make a smaller 'o'.

Thread the folded 'o' onto the corkscrew.

Thread the mini screwdriver into the corkscrew and through the center of the 'o'.

For these example pics, I used the corkscrew from a disassembled 91mm SAK.

The friction and the tension from the rubber O ring holds everything in place, preventing the mini screwdriver from twisting itself loose and falling out of the corkscrew.

A rubber band could also work in a pinch, but is not advisable to use one because the rubber band is more prone to disintegrate from sunlight and air pollution, rendering it useless. An O ring is more durable.
