You can use the spring loaded set screws in a horizontal fashion.. One Protruding out from the tool and the one pointed from the mount on the rail. The spring load set screws are pointed at each other. When the two meet, a simple Y axis motion causes one ball to roll over the other and latch in place. To unlock a motion in the opposite Y direction will release the tool.
Very informative. I think you could use something like a few T spring nuts instead of the screw , spring and silicone pin setup of the XL to friction-lock it in place.

Interesting idea - do you have a link to these set screws?
The previous DAKSH toolchanger has brought me a lot of design inspiration, and I am looking forward to your new design.Wishing you success.
Thanks

Neither the pins or the dome nuts are magnetised....they don't need to be.
thanks
