Free Leatherman tool repairs and mods!
on: April 09, 2009, 08:11:45 PM
Thanks to Kwakster, I now have use of a set of Leatherman maintenance tools to undo the knurled screws that are used in most Leatherman multitools. A condition of being able to borrow the tools was that I am not permitted to lend them out, as they are now irreplaceable.

I'm really keen however that other members get the benefit of these tools, so I am offering my services, free of charge to anyone who would like me to fix-up, clean or mod their Leatherman for them. I might ask for a contribution to cover postage if necessary, but I have no intention of profiting from this offer.

I don't have a stock of replacement parts, so you'll probably need to source those yourselves I'm afraid, but I'm happy to undertake any "projects" you might have in mind.

I'd just like to say a huge thanks to Kwakster for trusting me with his personal tools, and I hope I can help a few people out with them.

So, if you need your LM dismantling - just drop me a PM.

Cool!  I may have to hit you up on giving my Supertool a bit of a service then.   :tu:  Could really benefit from a re-build.

Very kind offer mate.  :)

Why stop at a couple of parts? ;)



Uh guys, no - it's not really that kind an offer, I take tools apart anyway for fun, so it's not really a big deal.

Tell you the truth, I'm nervous of taking them to the meet, what if I lost one  :ahhh These are the last ones we'll see.

Maybe I'll bring your Charge back and drop it round to you, or you could pop up sometime, after all we only live 20 minutes away from each other :D

Don't forget that Bob has a set, and (I hope I'm not wrong, but) I think he made a similar offer for the US - drop him a PM!
