I know several of you have used washers on lanyards to have a handy screwdriver for the HEST screws. I couldn't find any washers that would work for me too well. The smaller ones that fit in the screwheads were too small for my fat fingers. The larger ones wouldn't fit in the screws cause they were too thick.
Plus, I don't like lanyards or anything that flops around, might get caught on something or makes noise. I hate things rattling around on my person-keys, change, etc.
So, I took a couple of dimes, which are large enough for me to get a good purchase on to turn but thin enough to fit in the screws. I drilled holes in them, painted them black and screwed them down under the screws of the sheath. This way, I have them all the time but they don't rattle around.
To access the dimes, I use the HEST prybar to unscrew the sheath's phillips head screws (it fits perfectly), remove the dimes and take off/put on the scales.
I wear this IWB with this side against my body so it's completely covered for those concerned about such things as looks.
Now, for overseas travel, I've got to find the appropriately sized pesos, dirhams, leks and bolivars to drill some holes into
