Simple and functional, which is the most important thing. Ä a bit driver with a spring clip. These are not full "tool" bits, but "flattened", double-sided bits. A 10-bit driver and a watchmaker screwdriver are supplied with the Charge+ kit, although the factory setup offers seven of them (a double one with a Phillips screwdriver (PZ1/PZ2), two double torx (T10/T15 and T20/T25), a double one with a flat screwdriver (2/3 mm), and three double Allens (1.5/2, 2.5/3, 4/5 mm) – and one in the tool. If you feel that is not enough, you can buy a set of bits containing two sets of different bits, i.e. 20 pieces, two tools in each, separately. Wave+ owners have to do with one Phillips #1-2 & 3/16" bit. Ä a large, flat screwdriver, 7 mm wide. A standard, simple tool, without any bells and whistles, with a ledge on the back for easy opening. Ä a driver for watchmaking screwdriver with a locking spring for screwdriver and an opening ledge. The screwdriver itself is a fairly long (almost 35 mm) rod which ends on one side with a flat screw- driver (approx. 2 mm) and with a Phillips screwdriver on the other side. A perfect tool for tightening eyepiece screws. Ä scissors. Small, filigree, and short (20 mm), but sharp and cut- ting very well. As they are equipped with a spring and a comfortable thumb ramp, they are very easy to work with and do not require any exceptional precision despite their minimal dimensions. All internal tools in the working position are locked with a back lock at the end of the arm. The block buttons affecting the incisions in the opened working extension, working with a spring-supported ratchet placed in swinging position, are large and comfortable to use, with additional grooves to prevent fingers from slipping. Charge+ is equipped with a quick-release lanyard eyelet (diameter of approx. 11 mm) and a spring clip, which allows you to carry the tool safely without a cover in a pocket. Both of these elements are fixed in the end of the handle, in a notch next to the bit driver, and are blocked with a back lock. This makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the mechanism, but especially in the case of the eye- let, it also causes additional accessories to fall out when you release the lock to hide the can opener or the bit driver and point the tool downwards with the end of the handle. None of them, on the other hand, makes it difficult to work with either the opener or the bits. The belt sheath for the tool has also been changed. An older model with Velcro fasteners has been replaced by a Lift the Dot fastener. EQUIPMENT
