I shot a bunch of BBs and 1/4" steel and I didn't need to flip the slingshot, it's actual a through the fork shot. Provided the grip and draw is even.

What I really want to know is how you managed to hold and not least operate your camera with your mouth to take that pic..   :o :o

I don´t know how big the holes for the rubber need to be, but did you think about enlarging the tool pivots diameter so you can bore them hollow and have tools and a fixture for the rubber hose?
and maybe you could use teh fold out lanyard hole for a visor?

I actually had the bands behind the camera, use IT to pull it back and then shoot the photo.

I've been fiddling around with this again and put on some pseudo tapered 1842 tubes and a custom double suede pouch on this and she screams when shooting 3/8" steelies. I think I found the perfect size of bands.

Pseudo tapered as in there is a differential and exponential power increase with half the bands being doubled and half of them being single tubes. Draw weight is marginally increased but speed is pushed up significantly.

Now I have to figure out how to mount these bands on a Wave/charge so that they can be removed so the normal function of the tool can be retained.

Bush craft tool anyone? :)

  This one is nice but I'm still inclined to say that things will get serious when you make a compound bow out of a MT.

  That will be The Bushcraft Multi!!

A compound bow would be tough indeed!

Here's an idea  :o  Have driver tools (one standard one Phillips) flip out of the end (pivoting on the brass tubes) that go past inline to cross, forming an . . .


Instant arrow rest!   :D

Some more fun.

Took a really beat up KF4 with plier head issues and drilled out the head rivet to reveal some perfect mounting loops for some tubing. I may have to grind down the tip of the head on the pliers when I reassemble this to make it close all the way.









Since these loops are made from a matching plierhead, they nest!



When open, they can be used as a slingshot for ammo.



When closed and the tubes switched out for some heavier stuff, the valley is perfect for an arrow!

That is excellent, I really dig the idea of an outdoor MT with a slingshot mount. :clap:

I haven't shot arrows yet but I knocked this up in 30 mins last night. Thanks to all my previous work, it came together fairly quickly. 

I actually got a bunch of scotch bright drums for Christmas which made short work of the paint and rust on the Juice KF4's frame.
