Is there any adjusting that has to be done to fit the Rebar pliers head into the Charge?  If not, I'm definitely going to do that...

[rdub934]

Beautiful work. I like your choice of leaving the bit-driver and adding the Philips. Also, I am a big fan of awls. Well played, Sir. Well played.

[Breezy12]

nicely done, zoidberg!

the Rebar plier head would drop right into your ALX with no modification needed, Mr. Whippy. the dual bit drivers allow plenty of clearance. (the Rebar plier head is slightly bigger.)

when you put the Rebar plier head into a Wave/TTi/AL/Ti, it becomes a matter of personal preference. if you leave things as-is, the tool won't completely close. you can rectify this by grinding down the scissors, or grinding down the plier head, or swapping out tools...

[zoidberg]

^^^ What he said. I adjusted and removed some stuff.

Now to work out what goes where for the spares Bar or TTi or maybe even skinny TTi.

Thanks. It took much longer to choose between the parts than putting them together.

Cheers guys.

Things were already tough when this thread started and then last week I lost a couple good horses. I love that the others joined in too, makes it feel a little less Zoid vs world.

As for them being more robust, maybe. The first two are okay but I may have taken too much off the Super Tool 300 handled Surge head. I'll put them to use so we'll find out soon enough.

I am sorry to hear things haven't been going well for you.

Did you have to grind anything down to get everything to fit? I couldn't get the scissors to fit beside the fat tools in my Wave.

[zoidberg]

I didn't have to take thickness off any of the tools to get them fitted. I've even got washers in between the tools. I did do some minor work on the scissors to get them in without losing any length.

In the black tide or blue nose or possibly both threads, Metro talks about adjusting the thickness to fit stuff in. If you haven't read them or can't find them, I can dig up the links for you.

I would leave the can opener with the large bit driver and try the rebar awl and phillips as you had on the WaBar png. You shouldn't need to remove very much so I would try sanding down the inside of the awl until it fits. Another way would be to hammer a spanner or other metal object into the handle to open it up a little. I've used this method before on other tools and it works great.

[rdub934]

Cheers, Zoidberg! I will dig up the Black Tide and Blue Nose threads today - I have a lot of time on my hands.

[detron]

Very nice!

Damn. That's a good looking Leatherman!

What's your method for unscrewing the Rebar bits Zoidberg?

[zoidberg]

Okay. I'm a little bit drunk so hopefully this will make some sort of sense.

For the ST3 pliers. This end isn't keyed so open the handles, they will press on the barrel.
You want to turn the screw side which I believe is the slightly thicker one.
If using needle nose pliers go in from the side and for blunt nose or vise grips go end on.
Being left handed, I hold the blunt nosed pliers on my left and the ST3 on my right.
Once I have a good grip on the screwhead I brace my left arm against my side while I rotate the ST3.
Heat as needed. I think I have only once needed to use pliers on both sides.
For the Rebar tools. The barrel is keyed. The screw end is on the file and saw sides.

One thing I do know is that the Crunch works very well on these fasteners.

The heat is to loosen the loctite. Use a firm grip. Too soft or too hard may cause it to slip.

[zoidberg]

For those who missed it, the ST3 got the BDS hack a couple months ago...
