Coin Slot Battery Cap Tool

I was thrilled to discover this little coin bit. I have an Archer Components electronic shifter on several of my bikes. I tried to remember to carry a penny or keep one in my tool kit but it was always getting misplaced. This is perfect and the Fix It Stix handle is way easier that spinning a penny. I love this. Here is a new tool idea for you. After removing the battery cover I have another challenge of not being able to pull the batteries out of the device. The device is mounted on the rear chain stays at about a 45 degree angle. A magnet is the perfect tool for lifting the two batteries out the well they are in. A pocket telescoping antenna type of magnet works but that's another complete tool that I don't want to have to carry on my bike. I scoured the internet looking for a 1/4" hex bit magnet and came up empty. I had taken a short length of wooden dowel rod and super glued a neodymium magnet on the end but it didn't hold for long. I have since cut the end off of a 1/4" hex to 1/4" square bit adapter and glued a neodymium magnet to it. I also applied electrical heat shrink tubing around the joint. I don't know if this will last. I think a tool company could offer this type of bit which would turn any bit holder into a magnetic retrieval tool. I would keep several of these around in all of my EDC kits.

This is just what i expected. It did not work on a vortex defender st, but the bit is great anyways. The color is a great addition my my tool bag

Makes changing the battery super easy. Definitely worth adding to the kit !
