SAK Tape Dispenser
(lemmy.world)
Using the bit driver as a tape dispenser for painter's tape (blue) and gorilla tape (black).
I trimmed a plastic straw down to size and also slit it lengthwise and placed it over the bit driver. Then I wrapped it with two kinds of tape. The straw allows it to freely rotate as I pull the tape off.
Inspired by this video (skip to 22:00) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L65HqVkWYxo
The gorilla tape is thick so I can't get a lot on there. I may replace it with cellulose tape or just more painter's tape. I might also slide another straw over the tape to protect it.
After carrying this in my pocket for a few days, my thoughts so far:
Sliding a straw over the tape as a sheath hasn't proved necessary so far. Doing so would add bulk, making the deployment of adjacent tools difficult or requiring a reduction in the amount of tape stored on the bit driver.
The thick gorilla tape makes it impossible to open the adjacent pliers without first opening the bit driver because the pivot point of the pliers sticks out. Putting the thicker tape closer to the bit (swapping positions of the painter's tape and gorilla tape) may alleviate this, though I'll have to try it to confirm. Otherwise, I'll have to reduce the amount of tape stored lower on the bit driver.
Which model SAK is that?

Incidently, I used the painter's tape today for the first time! Worked just fine :)
