Mini Skeletool Mod Idea

Ombudsman · **on:** August 30, 2010, 03:01:04 AM

Just had this idea to turn a Style CS into a Mini Skeletool

I wonder if any of this will work

evil510 · **Reply #1 on:** August 30, 2010, 03:23:51 AM

Evil says it is very possible. Don't see any reason why any of that would not work. I have been so busy with other mods that my poor little Style CS Project has been on the back burner for a little while now. I suppose I should get back to work on it some time or another. Had almost forgotten about it until I saw your post. Thanks for the reminder lol. If you undertake the mod, good luck and be sure and post some pics.....

I'm fairly certain the plier head from a P4 (or E4) will swap straight in in place of the Style CS scissor head. And it looks like the little folding scissor will fit, but you'd have to get rid of the tweezers.

I can't think of any good way to add the screwdriver tip out on the end of the one handle though.

Oh, and nice photoshopping by the way!

+1 Although you'd have to do something to modify the carabiner, as I don't think it would close completely with the screwdriver in the way, though I may be incorrect. Also, for semantics sake, technically it would be a Mini Freestyle-Prototype, as that's what it reminds me of the most.

See the second and third pictures of this review on the main site for comparison.

I do hope this mod is pursued, though; it looks quite neat.

@Sazabi: You are right !

Actually the Multidrive graphic came from the 3rd picture of that thread

About the carabiner... I had the same concern about the space as it can be seen here, my first idea was to recycle the driver/nailfile tip, but for aesthetic purposes used the juice's phillips and the multidrive

@Evil: I was hoping you will see this post ! big fan of your work!

That style is awesome !

Very glad that you all liked this idea and if anyone is interested, feel free to use it as an inspiration !

i do not have plans (mean$+time) to pursue this mod but had to take it out of my mind or it will haunt me in my dreams

Agreed, your Photoshopping skills are great

I hope this mod works out for you, it looks and sounds like a great idea

Ombudsman · **Reply #8 on:** August 30, 2010, 05:58:41 AM

Thanxs !

At first I was thinking on calling this mod: Style PV !

because of the joke about the museum which was displaying the 2 skeletons of Pancho villa

a big one and a small one

and when someone asked the guide

he said that one was from him when he was a grown up and the small one... when he was a child !

But more seriously Style CH (for child) could be a good name

Pacu · **Reply #9 on:** August 30, 2010, 06:01:08 AM

the mods are getting better and better on here

sounds like a great idea..

Andreas · **Reply #10 on:** August 30, 2010, 08:35:36 AM

Great idea! I happen to have a bunch of Squirts on the way in order to attempt a "supersquirt", if that works I'll have both PS4 pliers and scissors left over. Might grab a Style CS and try this

Ombudsman · **Reply #11 on:** August 30, 2010, 10:51:47 AM

That will be so cool !

hey what about if we call this mod: Style MTO !

Threeme2189 · **Reply #12 on:** August 30, 2010, 12:51:56 PM

It should be called Style MM (Mini Me)

Ombudsman · **Reply #13 on:** August 30, 2010, 07:21:06 PM

Here you can get a ps4 and a style cs for cheap.
http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-831207-Style-Multi-Tool-Scissors/dp/B0032XVNMQ
At the bottom you can se the style cs and ps4 are 37$ together.

TheRodfather · **Reply #15 on:** August 31, 2010, 06:33:19 PM

How about using a regular LM style body to replace the side with the carabiner on the CS? The carabiner is actually the deal breaker on this tool for me.

Agent X68 · **Reply #16 on:** August 31, 2010, 06:43:45 PM

Or you could possibly take the left handle from the ps4 instead of the carabiner handle.

Shorty66 · **Reply #17 on:** August 31, 2010, 07:37:28 PM

You should add a thumbstud / thumbhole for OHO.
Also a locking mechanism would be great

That's what I did to mine and love it all that much more now.....

Andreas · **Reply #19 on:** August 31, 2010, 09:29:25 PM

Niiiiiiice. Now make a OHO Squirt so I know it's possible!

If Evil had a Squirt he'd make it possible..... but alas, he doesn't..... $:-\$

Andreas · **Reply #21 on:** August 31, 2010, 09:58:27 PM

Almost tempted to send you one, I'm going to end up with an S4 extra anyways

But I can prob manage to slap a thumbstud on it without help

Neil · **Reply #22 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:01:52 PM

I gave serious consideration to fitting the pliers head into a Style CS when I first saw one. Then I ran out of money

Never mind, I hope you go ahead with it and post plenty of pics

Andreas · **Reply #23 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:04:51 PM

Didn't know you used pliers head tools neil

Neil · **Reply #24 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:06:02 PM

Even I can't do everything with those tiny ones in the Champ

Andreas · **Reply #25 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:09:04 PM

Ironically I don't think the Squirt ones are much bigger. But useful they are!

Neil · **Reply #26 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:10:35 PM

They may not be much bigger but because they don't have the bulk of a large SAK dangling off the end, so I prefer to use them over most SAKs with pliers.

DaveK · **Reply #27 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:13:56 PM

I have a PS4 and a Style CS, but alas, no T6 torx bits, else I'd try it $:-\$

Andreas · **Reply #28 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:14:50 PM

Bad excuse Dave, go get one

Neil, any reason you didnt consider the P(S)4 instead? Has more tools and is phsyically smaller

Neil · **Reply #29 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:18:11 PM

I like the carabiner. I had a Skeletool for a while and liked that feature. Problem was though that I'd hook it to a belt loop and forget it was there. Nearly went to collect my boys from school a couple of time with it still attached

What with its locking blade that could of got me in plenty of trouble.

If I had the money I'd take the Style CS, fit a pliers head and pop a thumbstud on the blade.
