Squirt ES4/PS4 Owner's Club

Got an ES4

[Andreas]

A new concept I've been working on. More details and more pics here

[Agent X68]

interesting concept, although it needs a beveled edge.

[Andreas]

Indeed, it needs a lot of fixing from that model... DOn't think I'll ever get to make one unfortunately, don't have the tools.

[Agent X68]

From the looks of it all you need is a way to cut the steel, a way to make holes, a way to make the bit driver, and a tap to make the treaded hole.

[Andreas]

Actually if you rread the text on my site I mention that the threaded hole is probably not the best solution, something slot-in and lockable would be better. That way you can use the bit slot as a second slot-in point for large accessories (like saws). That would be even harder to make. I don't have the steel, I don't have any of the tools necessary to do it - unfortunately. Maybe evil510 will see it and make one. I don't really need it anyways since it's so semi-permanenet but I just think it's not a bad idea to add 15mm lengthwise and get so many extra features

On a sidenote, ordered my third PS4 today. Second one came from a confused ebay seller who promised to send a pivoted one and sent a riveted one, so hopefully the same promise from this one will result ina a backup pivoted one.

Today I received Squirt PS4 with pivots, date code 0210.

[Gusti Parang]

I would like to join this club please 

I have a pivoted PS4 I got through gunga, been riding on my key-chain carabiner for a few months now. Wow, I didn't know the pivoted ones were desirable, or even that they were now making ones with rivets instead. Why did LM decide to do this? To keep costs down? To prevent users from modding them?

Anyway here's a (partial) picture of mine, don't have a camera right now so this is only picture I have

x-acto style second blade mod

just got a squirt PS4 but i'm bummed out it has rivets instead of torx screws.

Yeah, all the pictures on all of the websites show screws, but that's not always what the tool comes with.

cool blade mod andreas.

[sawman]

How did I miss this thread... I got my PS4 recently and give it 5 stars!  The perfect multitool hands down     Now if I could only figure out why my local "Target" store does not sell it

I like the x-acto knife Andreas!

I wonder if a single edged razor blade could be cut in half lengthwise and sandwiched between two smaller pieces of metal with a hole through them for the pivot, so that the blade would be replaceable once it dulls?

[feel free to use this idea if you like. I don't really have the tools necessary to undertake it myself.]

I had the same thought, and so did someone commenting on the video for this mod on youtube. However it's not practical. The tools are 1mm thick, making a blade holder that thin is practically impossible. Not to mention that for what I'm using the blade for - opening packaging - a real x-acto blade or razor wouldn't be able to pierce plastic that thick without breaking. Besides, this blade is fully replaceable as long as you have spare squirt/style blades, which basically means it'll cost me $13 (Style) to replace it once I run out of spare blades, which isn't too bad since the blade is strong enough to last a while

My original plan was to make the blade a liner locking blade but this was simpler and solved the same problem for me
