#### WIP, still testing / refining details ####

Came with this idea after finding official zippo bit adapter, that left me bit disappointed.

After few quick sketches, this adapter was born.

Fits original zippo case as well “tactical” ones from aliexpress.

Holds 5 Leatherman bits and micro-screwdriver.

Testing magnet compartment now (as theres generous amount of space for the bits, and to stop them from falling out you need to use strips of tape to add some tension) and different shapes of clip.

version for standard-sized bits is also planned, but I want to refine this to usable state. 

v.01: initial version

v.02: various tweaks to fit bits better into holder, change in grooves pattern on bit holder so it fits better into zippo case, groves on bit driver gripper and bit driver itself, tweaks to clip so it allows closing without need of pressing it with finger - trade off of stronger locking to less pinching of finger when applying force and closing the lid

v.03: added compartment for 5x5x5mm magnets, as well two versions of body and bit driver - one with magnets mandatory, but closer to bits so they catch them with stronger magnetic field, and driver with bit hole from other side, as I've tested some non-zippo cases, and turns out bit was sticking out ~1.5mm too much - so now you can store it on bottom of driver, and insert it from top - with much more bit space visible while using. Added some photos with knock-off cases too.
