Sarge Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Figured I’d ask the collective. I don’t like scratching my RTS2 when changing batteries. Has anybody found a small plastic blade of some kind to pop the battery tray out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I use a eye glasses screw driver to pry the battery tray out I’ve used bigger stuff resulting in my breaking the tab off the tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I use the tip of my Kershaw Leek that is always in my pocket. No scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I use the rim of whatever fired brass is handy, but also don't care much about scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I use a 10-8 armorers tool or a flat bladed screwdriver. I carry the tools and a small Leatherman like tool in my range bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) https://www.amazon.com/Calbico-Channel-Cleaning-Tool/dp/B01674UC3C Mainly use it for the intended purpose, to clean slide rails with a patch, but also use it for battery doors. Works great in both instances. Edited January 25 by echotango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
