Size down on LTT Screwdriver

[Matthew J Johnson]

This is a idea for LTT R&D.  A simple $10-$15 magnetic adapter to make the LTT screwdriver compatible with iFixit bits.  The iFixit bit adapter is not magnetic on both ends and very annoying to use.

I’ve used the iFixit adapter with other screwdrivers and had no problems whatsoever. For instance, with the Wera ratcheting screwdriver, basically one of the LTT screwdriver analogues, it works perfectly. The Wera magnet is similar to the LTT magnet, a bit stronger and it keeps it in place. The end that holds the bit, provides a very tight grip/fit for the bit. Also, my iFixit bit adapters are not magnetized at all. Both adapters from the Pro Tech Tool Kit and the Manta Tool Kit are basically the same. None of them are magnetic, though.

You can use any 4mm to 1/4 inch adapter for the smaller iFixit bits. The Wiha 75802 is an adapter with an integrated magnet, although I don't know if the magnet will face the same direction as the LTT screwdriver, nor if the magnet direction is consistent between all adapters.
