They don't work with many Ryobi One Plus tools

I got the Ryobi ONE Plus kit (http://a.co/7eZ3rpF) for Christmas and I love each of the 6 tools that came with it. except none of them come with belt clips! They don't even have a place to attach a belt clip! And neither Ryobi nor Revain offer a mod kit to add a belt clip. Yes, it looks like Ryobi is keen on not using belt clips on their cheaper tools for some reason. (Marketing secrets!) So be sure to check the model number on your drill before ordering these clamps. Both drill bits in the kit are available as individual tools, accessible via the belt hooks! Turns out you can go to the parts section on the Ryobi website and order these clamps. (My order hasn't arrived yet. I'll post an update when I get these clamps and figure out how to install them. But these clamps look different from these in the photos.) I *was* able to use these clamps work on my new ryobi drills but its not easy and not easy. Look at the photos of these clips. See the tab just above the mounting screw hole? The first step is to grind down this tongue (I used a Dremel with a grinding wheel). Then (with the battery removed) you can drill a hole in the base where there is a small cavity that the top of the battery doesn't occupy. Then attach the clamp to the tool with a small nut, bolt and lock washer. The shank of the screw should be about ⅜ inch or 10mm long. Once you find the right gear, it takes less than an hour. From other reviews, the Ryobi One Plus tools used to have a different shaped base than these belt hooks. Not in 2018!
