Keychain Drivers
![]()
I've been asked about my keychain drivers a few times on edcf, so I thought I'd do a step by step.
They're cheap to make and don't take long
![]()
Used:
- Pratley Steel Putty (epoxy in putty form) from the hardware store. You can use normal epoxy but take's longer
- The Cover of a damaged Audio Jack. If you carry Brass or gold items, you can get gold plated one's from the electronics store
- A small piece of of paracord, a small keyring and a most nb the driver bit
![]()
Started by tying a knot on the piece of paracord and pull it through the jack cover.
Had to twist the knot to get it past the threaded section
![]()
Cut 2 small pieces of the epoxy putty, mixed like normal and stuff it in the audio jack
- Shoved the bit in the epoxy, centered as best as possible and pressed the epoxy against the bit and jack cover
- (To neaten the epoxy) Pushed the bit into a bit hole on my LM piranha, rolled on a hard surface then dipped my finger in water and smoothed the edges
Repeated until satisfied
-Cleaned the excess epoxy off the jack cover

To touch up the I just put a piece of spring from the Audio jack mentioned before on the paracord.
Lastly attached a small keyring or metal ring on the paracord to put the tool on a keychain.
Waited 24hrs before using
