Handheld tools with rings or holes in them for small tool set?

[mikey03]

I started stringing a few ratcheting wrenches of the common smaller engine bay sizes for my car in my glovebox. I really like how organized it is compared to just having tools loose in there and I don’t want a huge tool set. Honestly just like three or four small ratcheting wrenches plus a 6 in 1 screwdriver and one or two pairs of pliers are great.

Is there any screwdrivers that have holes in them I can loop into this wire keychain thing to keep that nice too? Or maybe a small tiny flat head prybar to compress electrical connectors wire harness clips In the car to release them? I been using my flat head bit of the 6 in 1 for it.

Im constantly messing with small stuff in whatever car im driving like I just changed an radiator fan motor and rather than grab a full tool box it was nice to go in the glove box and pull out the 10mm ratcheting wrench and took the radiator fan assembly out and brought it inside to swap the motor.

Just an idea, but anything can have a hole in it if you have a drill. That way you're not limited to only those tools that have such a hole from the factory.

Seems like it would be a bother to have to unstring the tools to use them. I appreciate the goal of having specific tools in the vehicle, so why not look at usingga motorcycle tool roll?

Look for screwdrivers with a lanyard loop attachment or hole.
Various professional tool manufacturers are making them, because of the problem of tools being dropped from heights, causing both safety issues and time issues.

HF for screwdrivers with holes. Especially just an emergency set.

Proto has pliers with a ring on the handle for attachment. I think really old Stanley Handyman screwdrivers sometimes had handle holes.

I was gifted one of these : Keychain driver



The bits are very stubby but all store in the body, the keychain retains them and a key or knife can be used to twist with more torque. Not something easy to use but very compact and handy to have when you don’t have access to drivers. I replaced the keychain “clip” shown with a standard key ring.

Curious if a locking 1/4 socket holder exists

Milwaukee has some screwdrivers with holes. Lee valley, well known by woodworkers, sells "lifetime screwdrivers" that I think have holes. There are others

Or, when you have a drill, everything looks like it needs a hole!

Great. I just tried to look up "usingga tool roll". But at least it got me looking at tool rolls. I'm kinda tired of listening to the tools in my road box when bashing down a rough road.
