so, been expanding my Avid CNC and once again having to deal with popping open the drag chain clips while it sits in the support tray.

NOT FUN!

So I came up with a tool mod to make it easy.

What I did was to take a paint can opener, which is a good way to hook the release when you can't come in from the side (but it's a little too wide to go in far enough) and then I just ground it down on the sides to make it narrow enough. Then you can just insert it and pivot it in a downwards movement to release. Works like a charm and saves my cuticles!

Enjoy.
