Multitool screws (pivots?)
on: September 10, 2009, 05:37:35 PM
Guys, can anybody help and direct me where could I order online few pairs of screws like torx screws in leatherman.
I have an old multitool that has rivets (bolts?) and I would like to refurbish it (replace the rivets with screws).

It is a no name 10$ brand.
It is a piece of junk but it helped me in many occasions... so you could say that this is an retirement present  :salute:

Can't tell you where but look for "chicago screws", the few I know are intended for knives so not long enough.

There are a few places I would start looking, although I don't know how much they are likely to help you.  Here they are any way:

www.knifekits.com
www.texasknife.com
www.jantzsupply.com
www.knifehandles.com

Failing that, I would start looking into local electronics or mechanical suppliers, and possibly a local machine shop.

Please keep us informed of how you get on. Especially if you find a European supplier  :tu:
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.
