About this model

This is a re-work of "Parametric Magnetic Driver Bit Handle" to be used with Needle File Sets. I Narrowed the handle a bit, adapted the shaft hole, and added a slot for a 6-32 square nut to help hold the needle files in place with a thumb screw. Works really well + a good amount of grip for large hands. (no, its not parametric anymore, just expand the hole a tiny bit with a hot drill bit, if the files wont go in.)
