Default multitool trick

https://www.dropbox.com/s/31r5n46jgh...multi.jpg?dl=0

Wrap a bit of sandpaper round a multitool blade and secure with a dab of
superglue. A far better was to do detail sanding than any of the gadgets
I've tried.

I'm honoured! I would have sent a cleaner example if I'd known!

Talking of similar DIY tips I was watching some TV program where they 'restored/polished' some chrome on the tubing of a bike by rubbing it with scrunched up aluminium foil and water, seemed to work OK but I haven;t any chrome that needs polishing to try it on.

My Fein came with such a tool but has clips to hold the sandpaper.
