ScrewDriver and Pen atomizers anybody ?

[ApOsTle51]

Right finnaly managed to get around to doing this today. this isn't going to be one of those 'in-depth' how to's but rather a rough guide as it's really a simple little project for all you screwdriver owners.

so to make a little adaptor to use a generic 4072 pen style classic atomizer you will need:

• 1 901 atomizer
• 1 RN 4072 classic battery
• solder iron , hacksaw, files etc.

and thats it.

First things first you wanna remove the threaded adators from the atomizer and battery, how you do it is up to you. I ended up peeling the casing off because both where stuck in real tight. you want to keep the wires from the battery and about 15mm of the battery housing.

from the pics you can see what needs to be done ...can't you ?

what you need to do is solder one wire to the centre pole of say the atomizer connector and another wire to the inside of the outer wall of the atomizer connector. once thats done pass the wires through the casing and solder the other ends of the wires to the battery connector in the same configuration.

once done, push the connectors carefully into the housing. I used the help off a 'G' clamp here with 2 wood pieces to protect the threads as they are quite a tight fit.

that's it really , job done..and like the screwdriver itself...it just works

ApO.

wow awesome work APO, lets us know how you get on.
and if you prefer it to the 901 atomizer.

cheers Kit , yeah it works well .
I wouldn't want to carry it around with the pen atomizer on it though as it isnt really pocket friendly but for home use it's great.

yeah out and about AP, may come across as quite an offensive weapon ! hehe

 

[ApOsTle51]

haha , indeed.....

I could have made the adaptor a little shorter, but i went on the side of caution, maybe my next one i'll do a midi version ..lol

believe it or not dude i have never used a pen style before,might have to give it a try sometime in my screwy.
mouthpiece looks alot more comfortable than a 901 similar to a bling i suspect which i prefer rather then the 901's.

very nice Apostle! Came out very very clean!

cheers Cash , yeah it came out to plan..suprisingly.

I can obviously also use any 901 battery with the pen atomizer too in an emergency situation. hehe

yeah, nice work apos. this is one mod i'll definitely want to be trying out. one thing i don't get:

First things first you wanna remove the threaded adators from the atomizer and battery, how you do it is up to you. I ended up peeling the casing off because both where stuck in real tight

how do you peel ?

 

[ApOsTle51]

firstly i cut off whatever amount of battery casing i needed ( about 15mm ) and kept that aside.

I then cut the battery casing near the connector and switch so all i had was a piece of the battery that contained the connector and pneumatic switch plus about 5mm of tube.

Using snips i made 2 cuts in the casing opposite each other, then using pliers i simply peeled the remaining casing off from around the switch and connector.

It's probably the most awkward way to remove the connector but i couldnt push or pull them out with what gear i had to hand. The Kitchen doesn't make a great workshop
