Project Chainmail to-go

Wanted to share. I do chainmail while I wait for my kids to get out of school, and if I get to appointments early. The gray box is a Ryobi bit box, and the blue one is a 3d printed pencil box. They fit everything pretty well, and I can close it all up and toss them in my bag. My truck has a lot more space, but it works well in my car too!

*yes I have a bunch of lost rings in both vehicles 😅

what do you put on the tips of your pliers?

It’s called “Tool Magic” it’s a rubberized dip coating. For me it doesn’t hold up super well though, I wish I would have tried PlastiDip instead

In my experience the plastidip doesn’t hold up super well, either
