Slotted Service Door Tool

[GnarlyBus]

I decided the time of using a huge 18" flathead screwdriver to open my service doors was over. Saw a YouTube video where someone reccomended these stubby flat heads with full size handles by Craftsman. These are still made in the US and are around $8 each. I used an angle grinder to grind down the tip so that they'd fit real snug in the slotted door pins on my MC-9.

It's working very well. It takes a lot less oomph using this tool. It stays on my magnetic strip up in the entryway of the bus next to my air coupled for tapping into the air system and my 3/8 insulated nut driver for the front junction box.

What have you guys been using?

A dime.

We started using half dollars in the beginning but that killed my thumbs.

I always would carry a loonie ( Canadian )  in my pocket and never had a problem after that

Depends on how freely the locks turn, a little lube in the right location would help.
