random lm squirt es4 mod idea
on: April 08, 2013, 12:28:30 AM
I don't have the tools for this or hacker space nearby, but I wondered if anyone else ever wanted that mod as well:

- transform the plier-wire strippers into scissors, but keeping the "needle" pliers nose
- exchange internal scissors for an awl.

reasons:
- the small scissors are very good, but sometimes/often you just need more leverage
- the PS4 pliers are nice but anything that need real tightening will break em..
- the needle nose pliers are however good for picking small stuff (including hair lol), better than the needles of a sak, and those don't make scissors cut any less good, as long as you don't push all the way on scissors
- everyone always need an awl.


Could use the micra scissor head I guess, but then, you lose the needle nose.

might be really tough just on thinking about scissors in general, they are by-pass impliments where pliers are more a dyke style where they meet a specific point. To include BOTH would be a little tricky because you can only have one or the other.

Micra scissors will not fit into a Squirt, but the Squirt S4 will drop in. Having done a LOT of work with Squirt, I can likely give you some assembly tips.

I don't know about you but replacing the FILE is more useful with the awl/philip driver combo than replacing the scissors.
Why stop now?
