I could drop a couple off at the meet for you (only if you promise to use them for Good)

Neil · **Reply #33 on:** May 13, 2010, 12:04:14 PM

Define good.... does good fun count

Neil just wants to test emergency lights I'm sure that's what he means by fun

Neil · **Reply #35 on:** May 13, 2010, 09:39:04 PM

Jokes aside I just think it'd be a cool extra tool in a SAK. If any of you gents in the trade has any other obsure tool/keys or the like going spare I wouldn't say no

Sparky415 · **Reply #36 on:** May 13, 2010, 10:01:07 PM

What are you after then Neil?

I have a couple of things .....

Neil · **Reply #37 on:** May 13, 2010, 11:25:46 PM

I'm always on the look out for sensible tools that can be added to SAKs. i.e. stuff that people would actually use even if it was a bit speSmurfpillsed.

My own requirements are much more generic so its difficult to gain inspiration. Stuff like this can act as muse

Radiator key?

Triangular electricity/gas cupboard key?

Radiator key? - seriously considered before, maybe one day
Triangular electricity/gas cupboard key? - have looked at but is too fat to fit ( I wanted to put it in place of the corkscrew)

I have to say that 'moding' these tools is a bit like fixing a wonky chair
First you cut a bit off one leg then......

It works but doesn't look great

Neil · **Reply #43 on:** May 15, 2010, 08:00:10 AM

What could possible go wrong

ryan1835 · **Reply #44 on:** May 15, 2010, 09:21:09 PM

You would be surprised neil.

Neil · **Reply #45 on:** May 15, 2010, 11:57:27 PM

I like the big red one

Is that wrong

Sparky415 · **Reply #46 on:** May 17, 2010, 09:06:36 PM

So now the screws holding my Kick are in less than perfect condition

I want to replace them with something that is a bit easier to open (with a driver)
Any suggestions?

That's a question oft asked, but I've never seen a satisfactory answer to $:-\$

DaveK · **Reply #50 on:** May 18, 2010, 10:15:55 AM

Sorry, what I meant was that I don't think anyone has ever come up with a way of replacing the standard fasteners with something else. its often asked, but I don't recall ever seeing an answer.

Sparky415 · **Reply #51 on:** May 18, 2010, 11:36:34 AM

No I'm sorry! I did understand and rather than saying I will keep thinking about the problem
I just stuck the thinking emoticon up

I was hoping by asking the question someone would post a link that said this is what you need and this is where you can get them but I'm lazy like that!
It needs more

DaveK · **Reply #52 on:** May 18, 2010, 11:48:47 AM

The internet truly has destroyed the art of conversation hasn't it?

Sparky415 · **Reply #53 on:** May 18, 2010, 11:50:23 AM

My G/F said the other day that I 'talk' to my internet friends more than I talk to her
(so its not all bad)

Sparky415 · **Reply #54 on:** July 08, 2010, 01:16:07 AM

With a bit of messing around I got my new SOG Vcutter (Thanks Neil

) to fit,
To be honest it needs a little tickle with a Dremel as it is not parallel to the handle,
I am still looking for a bit holder and some replacement screws but I like it so far

Smitty44 · **Reply #55 on:** July 08, 2010, 06:28:31 AM

Thats a real kick ass Kick Sparky!!!

AHB · **Reply #56 on:** July 08, 2010, 07:11:50 AM

Good work Tony..

Neil · **Reply #57 on:** July 08, 2010, 09:31:10 AM

Cool

Keep in mind that the one I have sat in my son's PT-510 doesn't sit parallel either, but it works fine. Just saying don't knock yourself out trying to get it so

Sparky415 · **Reply #58 on:** July 08, 2010, 01:39:31 PM

What I need to do is find some new screws (and a bit holder)
I might do it when I get them together

DaveK · **Reply #59 on:** July 08, 2010, 02:44:48 PM

I'd forgotten abut this thread, and have actually done this mod a few weeks ago!

I'm out and about at the moment, but here's a pic before I added the scissors:

It works very well for me and has become my EDC
