    He's refering to the collar that accepts the hex-base electric screwdriver
    style bits. Gerber's version, IIRC, comes with the tool and fits over one
    of the fold-out screwdriver blades. Leatherman's is a contraption that
    somehow clamps onto the plier jaws, and is an extra-cost accessory.

    Personally, I don't really see a big need - if the Wave can't handle the
    job itself, I'll wander over to where I left my laptop bag and fish the
    interchangeable bit screwdriver out of the tool pocket.
