Charge mod

[Agent X68]

Hi all, I was thinking about attempting a charge mod and I had 2 questions.  1.  Will the wave/charge/blast scissors fit into where the can opener is on an XTI?  2. Can you just unscrew the botom screw of the charge and mod the inside tools without taking the whole tool apart?

Thanks,

I'm not certain  about the scissors fitting,  but yes you can take out the inside opening tools by removing the pivot and you don't have to remove the plier end pivot.

EDIT:  Yes I think you can swap the scissors in instead of the can opener, but I've never actually done that mod.  Maybe someone else will chime in. The best way way to find out is to try.

you betcha!

Give it a try, as long as the scissors sit, resting on the side of the tool you are clear, otherwise it would interfere with the plier head rest.

Thanks for your help, charge is arriving tomorrow.  Any advice on how to remove the scisors from a blast?

You can remove the knurled pivot screws by clamping on both ends with two sharp pliers, and unscrewing.

Thanks.  Also, what size screw does the XTI have?

Thanks

XTi's have a T10 Security Torx bit. Super easy to find, only one side rotates, the otherside stays put, so if you feel any resistance try undo the otherside. Once you've undone it, you'll see what I mean.

Thanks, it's 6 point, right?  On LMs website it looks to be 5 point.

Disregard my last post, it is 6 point.
