Highlighter hardcase with pics

Postby subigo » 29 Apr 2007 15:49

After seeing a thread here where someone made a marker into a hardcase, I decided that would be perfect for me. The Southord case just doesn't do it for me... anyway, just take a highlighter, chop off the top, and there you have it, a nice hardcase that will hold 5-10 picks with a wrench.

A note on the wrench: Make sure the highlighter is the type with holes in the cap. You can just slide your wrench down one of the holes and it fits perfectly... and it won't fall out.

Good job.

The tension wrench you've shown appears to have slightly rounded ends. Is this a camera artifact or did you do this? Or are they coming from SO this way these days?

Oh, and only a single tension tool? Get yourself some different wiper blade inserts/street sweeper bristles. You will find only having one wrench rather limiting.

No camera trick there, it came straight from Southord that way.... it's the c500 set. And I actually have some wiper blades 5 feet from me right now, that's my next project.

lately i have found that besides wiper blades, sweeper bristles, and other stuff, those fold up laundry baskets, the ones with the netting, they have like 15-20 FEET of perfectly good material for tensioners.

With the marker case i only put like 4 picks. And if i want to i use the expo marker also remove the tube of ink and there i have space. Or since i learned recently how to make lockpicks to fit in a keychain. Like the ones someone have in their wallet with paperclips. But my picks in my keychain are made of cut off mini hacksaw blades and really work!
