This thread is for the SAK hook challenge showing the hook in action in a new thread. I posted this photo in another thread already, but here it is.

Leatherman Tools / Re: Tread Owners Club

« Last post by commanderkoo on Today at 03:59:33 AM »

Hi everyone, I have a Leatherman Tempo watch, and one of the recessed screws connecting the Tread bracelet to the watch case fell off.

Does anyone know what is the thread size of the screws used in the Tread?  I want to find a replacement screw.  I emailed info@leatherman.com and they said the product is discontinued, and they can no longer find specifications of the screw.  :-(

I finally found the thread size of the screws used in the Tread and Tempo.  It's #4-48.  Here is a screw that decently substitutes as a recessed screw for the Tempo watch case:  https://www.mcmaster.com/91251A235/

Here's my reddit post about it:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Leatherman/comments/idha6d/comment/kx2p8wo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

  Had to change the protective lens guards on the Insta360 X3 camera again. The plastic guitar-looking pick just does not cut the mustard in removing the guards, and the awl is a bit too rough. Found that using the can open on the Spirit was just right.

   There are several challenges coming up and several on-going.  The idea is to carry something that takes you out of your comfort zone.  Like carrying a Classic for a month and nothing else.  I just finished a 108mm challenge.  Now that really wasn't a challenge for me, since I have carried one every day for ages.  It was still fun. 
    There are lots of badges that you can earn without posting for a month straight.  Something like the flashlight badge only requires one post.  Start a thread and write a little about your everyday carry flashlight.  Plus a picture.  Read about how to request a badge and when you make your request leave a link to your thread.  Eventually you will be awarded a badge or not if you didn't fulfill the requirements. 
     There isn't a challenge for your SwissChamp coming up.  If you have Leatherman or Gerber multis, there are some of those.  Read some of the threads others have made requesting a badge of some sort or another.  If you find time, read the posts for the Sportsman challenge that will finish up in a few days.  See how a 30 day challenge is done.  Fun to read anyway.  Best wishes.  G

   I didn't mean anything more than the new photo for your avatar and the flag.  Makes it easier to identify one of your posts at a glance.  No code words that I am aware of on the site.  If there were any, I probably wouldn't know what they were.  I have to look up something almost every day here. 
    One of these days, you might like to try a challenge, or see if you can get a merit badge or two.  When you find time, see if you can read the part about how to apply for a merit badge.  Click on your name and you will get a drop down menu.  Select available awards and look over some of the requirements.  Not required by any means.  I called it a game we play one time.  Game might not be the right word, but it can be fun.  Best wishes. G
 

Ah, very cool! I will try one of those challenges for sure in that case. The only SAK I carry every single day without fail is my Swiss Champ. I carried my 90s black one until about two weeks ago when I got the Warthog version from DLT which I now carry daily on the Victorinox belt hanger. Do you know if there's a challenge for the Swiss Champ?

Probably my second-favourite version of the Climber (after the Climber Deluxe). I really like having a Huntsman Lite without a saw!

Day 25

I decided to get in on the recent trend of using a Sportsman to open lettuce…

   I used to have an old Diamond Edge.  Must have traded it off.  I think Tuisto made a nice choice for the updates to his niche.  Don't you? 
   I must admit that I secretly breathed a sigh of relief when I heard the Swiza folks wouldn't ship you a knife.  Now your children can eat for the next couple of weeks.  Scout around a little and see if you can find something in the 15-20 buck range.  It will satisfy the needy feeling just as well.  Best wishes.  G
 

Hey IMR, I appreciate the shout-out but to be frank (unless it's some kind of code that I'm just not familiar with yet), I don't quite understand what you mean by updates to the niche Shoot, I forgot to ask, AzteCypher, what's that crazy little Wenger in your photo??
