on: March 07, 2012, 02:43:56 PM
I posted this on the Leatherman section but didn't get figured out.I'm trying to find out the thread size of the bolts on the Skeletool. I was gonna order these http://www.texasknife.com/vcom/product_info.php?products_id=2223
But not sure if they are right.
Thanks for your help.

Do you have some calipers?  You can take out the current bolt and measure thread spacing and diameter to figure out the thread pitch.
PM me or email sakmodder [at] gmail . com if you are looking for custom SAK work.

It sure wont be metric so you dont have to worry about that. 

My first google turned up this, see if that helps.

OH also, most hardware stores have those bolt thread test plates you can just take the screw with you and try screwing it in the test holes.  My canadian tire store has that.
