Rebar Pocket Clip Hack Pics.

[zoidberg]

Just a thought re the clip placement.
If you are right handed then you may want the clip on the other side like with the Wingman.
I would do it the same way and then grind a little off the locking tab.



Interesting how the Wingman is tip down and right sided.
And how the skinny Charge is like an upgraded Wingman.

As for the Wave clip, sorry mate but I dislike it with gusto       

Why is that?

It's by design. Easy to install, too loose and wiggly for my taste to carry afterwards.

Don't get me wrong, clip is OK but it suffers from standard "end user self-installable" designation.
When something is made to be installed by the user easily, it usually leaves a lot to be desired in other areas.

What do you normally carry and how?

Sheaths and pouches. Tried the clip-carry long time ago and the only one that worked for me was the Sideclip.

The Wave-style add-on clips are a design afterthought by LM.
Will work for many but for some like me not so much.

I did the Rebar pocket clip mod today.  First I used the wave clip I think it would work well if you use sleeve the same width as the lanyard loop and the same OD as the wave pocket clip. I went with the Kick pocket clip. Fun easy mod to do. Can I join the Reclip club?

not sure what you mean here...

I'm right-handed, and I dislike the clip placement on the Wingman. I'd much prefer to have it on the other side of the tool, like the location of the clip on the Sideclip and Skeletool, or the default location of the pocket clip on the Wave/Charge.

tip up vs. tip down has never been a big deal to me... the tools I carry most frequently are my Skeletool CX and modded Charges. The Skele carries tip down, and the Charge carries tip up, but I can get to the main blade just as quickly/easily on either tool.

Monrogue actually said the same thing about the skinny Charge -- he said it was like a Super Wingman.

I wasn't meaning anything really. Just saw things and commented.

I am really liking my Rebar the pocket makes it even better. I been carrying a Compact SAK a long with it for the scissors. I really need to add some SAK scissors to my Rebar. Thanks for posting the mod.

What is the tool with the pivot bolt next to the torx bit? Did you make it?

[AdmSlc]

I always wished the rebar came with a pocket clip. Great work

Yeah I made that one.
I tried pressing it in a vice, when that didn't work I hit it with a hammer on the vice.
Does the job.
There are a few threads around here where others have done the same with sockets and keys etc.
I should really make a full set with all the sizes, would be well worth doing.

Thanks Zoidberg!  I must make a couple too!

No problem bro. 

[sir_mike]

I to wish Leatherman made a clip that would work with the Rebar and the Fuse!

[Zachbradley]

Fasten screw and test open the tools.

Does this interfere at all with the opening/closing of the tool located next to the clip?

No issues, everything works like it should.

[Zachbradley]

with the hole for the screw of the clip being a lot bigger than the screw to keep it in, does it ever get off center or does the little "tooth" (not sure what else to call it) prevent that from happening?

No movement or problems yet. YMMV. You could always use the pivot from a Kick.

Zoidberg I still don't understand how you don't own a Dremel

I don't have a grinder like yours, but I do have a 7-year-old who could hold it steady.

So far a bench grinder and a chainsaw chain file worked a treat for him. I have a dremel (Fuller version actually) but I hardly ever use it and seem to find a workaround with other tools at hand, not sure why. 

[Zachbradley]

Works with PST   

[Zachbradley]

i would like to clarify that i used the pivot from the kick so the clip would stay center. so far, it works like a charm. 

[SteveC]

Nicely done, I've often thought it would be great to have a pocket clip on the PST.

I think pocket clips are great on everything

This was a great read ZMan Thanks again for linking to it for me

I realize this is an old thread, but is there a way to do this without making a notch in the Rebar's handle and still having the clip sturdy? I have a Kick pocket clip and I want to put it on the Rebar, but I don't want to cut the handle in case I need future warranty work.
