Low Profile Hex Wrench (Handle for Hex Bits) [No Magnets]

thingiverse

I had to loosen some screws in a case with almost no vertical clearance above the screw heads (too little to get my fingers into). The hex bits could fit but there was no way to apply force to the screws save for using a pair of needle nosed pliers. I decided to rather model and print this "wrench" holder to act as a lever and holder for the hex bit in order to do what one does to screws. Since I had no handy dandy magnets lazing about, I went for the snug fit approach and yes, it's a snug fit. Once seated, the hex bit is held in place by friction and a vacuum. You will need some pliers to extract the bit once seated, but it's done using very little force (not enough to damage the bit) which releases with an audible pop once the vacuum seal is broken. Bonus: Blowing over the top of the hex holding hole produces a high pitch and very loud whistle which amuses the kids and irritates the wife.
