    • The blue cap is secured to the bit driver by a threaded post that screws into the bit driver's upper body.

    • The threaded post can't be screwed into the upper body by twisting the cap because the cap spins freely around the post. Instead, you'll need to hold the post still so the upper body can be screwed on.

    • Hold one end of the floss against the side of the cap.

    • Wrap the middle of the floss twice around the widest part of the post (below the rubber o-ring).

    • Don't tie the floss into a knot as this will prevent you from removing the floss after the upper body has been screwed on to the threaded post.

    • Put on your protective gloves and safety glasses while applying the threadlocker.

    • Clean the threaded post and the upper body's screw hole with a lint-free cloth.

    • Apply one to two drops of threadlocker to the threaded post.

    • Make sure you don't get threadlocker on any other part of the cap. Doing so may prevent the cap from spinning. You only need to apply enough for an even spread on the threaded post.

Great guide.

Duck - Yanıt

Thanks for this information. I was worried about this but now I am Happy.

Well that’s interesting. My blue cap popped off the screw. I had to use superglue… :-\

Ok this is an epic repairability and culture standard that is demonstrated with this article - posting instructions on how to repair your own products! I wish this kind of attitude would spread in all tech industries.

I run a small tech startup myself, and this article just inspired me to do the same for the products we develop

Great this was the only thing talkative annoyed my about this set. Now I can fixit brilliant.. had a few do it in the past ones at my work and ones I use on my youtube channel.. but would not use or recommend any other tools.

I did not have dental floss at hand, but teflon tape worked well too. I did clean off the oily residue from the screw first with some alcohol, not sure if necessary but I think it helped with the grip. The teflon tape ripped halfway, but I just inserted it again and was able to get it secured in place, now the question is how long it will last!

How would I reattach the cap for the larger, 1/4" driver that comes with the manta kit?
