Giving the Diesel a rest for now and have been carrying my modified MP400 today.

What mods did you do ? Can we see a pic ?

Hang on a sec, I've got a pic somewhere. :think:

Here we go:

Basically I lost the blade and can opener then added a file and awl.

Since I took that shot I've also added a thin lanyard loop from a LM Blast.

Of course not mate. :tu:  It does works well with a SAK in my experience, something like a Camper or perhaps a Farmer.

So what tool did you use to remove the pins ? I was thinking small vise grips with a rag .

I don't think I even bothered with the rag. :D  You probably know this but I'll say it anyway; you will only need one pair of grips as one end of the pivot is held in place by the frame anyway.  If you look at my two pics, the first one has the 'held' side showing, the second has the removable head visible.  You can easily tell as the removable side has slight circular indentation the head is sitting in. :)

Here is the video that parnass found a while ago that shows what I'm talking about (though I dispute the need for a special tool ;))

A lot of talking but fast forward to about 8:20 to get the relevant bit.

I made a "special wrench" out of a broken MP 600.

It looks like this:

Sadly, the second one already does have a good home at soem otehr forum member, otherwise I coudl have helped out.



If I run across a badly mistreated Gerber again, I think I´ll make another set of those.

In the making:

My MP600.


How are you liking it?  I was carrying my MP600 Pro Scout today.  Got a fair bit of use out of the pliers and drivers at work.....
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

I'm really liking it so far. :tu:  It's comfortable to use, and I'm really liking the blunt nose pliers!  I did find out that the cap lifter is pretty much useless for lifting the caps on beer bottles though.  Luckily I had a Vic close by! :D

I don't mind the inside tools as much as I thought I would either.  Not as nice as outside tools, but they do the trick.

My first 400. I have two BO MP600's with needle nose and blunt nose. Great tools all around. But you already knew that.
