YES! Great to see a another repairer using hex bits - so adaptable and easy to store. Tip for beginners is to cover the pin hole screw with masking tape to reduce the risk of scratching the surface and/or elongating the pin hole. Also, apply torque increasingly with the tool fully-engaged - don't snatch at the fastener as you might a seized car bolt! Chris makes it look easy but he's been doing camera repair for years and has a feel for the force required.
Thank you for all these DIY tips, Chris. After watching all these tools in action, it's nice to see these behind-the-scenes videos. Not only are you the master of Retina camera rescues, but also the master of ingenuity. Glenn
O*U*T*S*T*A*N*D*I*N*G VIDEO Chris! Many, many, many heart-felt thanks for sharing your experience, skills, and for revealing some of your clever inventions.
Hello Chris, Thank you very much! Well thought-out and ingenious solutions, bravo! One tool that I have, which I find very handy, is a circlips plier like yours, but with one key difference: the tips have a 90° bend in them. This means that the tips will stay parallel, contrary to "straight tips" circlips pliers. One benefit of those pliers is that I can apply downwards pressure with one hand on the tips and use the other hand to apply torque to unscrew the screw.
I love these kind of insight knowledge videos. What I've used is a compass. That can be locked to right size and you can get a good grip on them. Also, you mention you have a fed3 there. Any change you would know how to tension the curtains? I know which screws are the tension, but how much and what method to tighten them isnt so clear. They are a tricky design because of that dual screw design where the other one is locking screw.
Thank you Sir, for all your vdos. They are truely informative and, oh so detailed in your explanations🙏🏼

Love it! Can you please make a video on how you made the retaining ring tool??
That remains on my to-do list. Once I have a simple design sorted out I'll get that done.
Very helpfull, Thank you!!!
Is it me or have you edited this video with the same content duplicated in places? The area around the slurry of diamond paste for example?
Maybe, my editing skills are limited...
Its a pin face screw.
Yes, I'd forgotten that name, thanks for reminding me.
You can temper those hardened security bits with MAP gas. Likewise, you can harden by tossing then in water after they are glowing.
