I've got at idea for a 'retro' Rebar...(maybe PST III) apologies if this has been done by someone before, but here goes:

- Take the handles from 2 PSTs.
- Bisect all the handles length-ways so that the cut edge of the 'extended' side runs perfectly central along the spine, pliers to tool end.
- Reassemble like a Side Clip, but only using the 'extended' handles.
- You can now place long tools on all sides of the pliers, like the Rebar, winning 2 more tool slots. (5 tools a side)
- You'll lose the inch rule, as these sides of the handles get discarded.
- You'll need to extend the tool pivots by about 2.5mm to accommodate the extra width, and maybe a thin washer.

You do you guys think?


I think you should do it !   :pok:     :tu: :tu:

So busy with a little design work on the layout. Either adding a saw and SE blade to the existing PST tool load (like picture below), or same, but replacing the awl with scissors like you find on PST II.  :think:

What other options do you guys think I should consider? Would prefer to keep the tools LM, but prepared to reshape if needed.

Hey CsB :waving:

If it were me I would try to get scissors in there somewhere, Max :think: If not then you will have the same tools as a Supertool but that isn't a bad thing ;) Other than that I have no other preferences :tu:

Did the whole Mod in under 2 hours. Was surprisingly painless using the squirt PS4 to unscrew the Rebar.



I shortened the flat driver and made it into a chisel so that I didn't have to change the internal frame at all.



Cheers,
HG

I dun have any other things to add. But I would think that after you cut the handles into 2, the spring tab for the tools are going to be pretty weak and soft.. U may find the lockup to be less than desirable. This is speaking from my little bit of experience. The frame of a Sideclip is thicker than a pst so it doesn't have this issue. In fact the spring tab for the Sideclip is pretty strong..

my dream setup:

Charge with 2x s30V blades, Surge Blade exchanger, Vic scissors on the outside.

Inside:

Side #1
2D leatherman bit exchanger
Small flat driver (deep reach and can also unscrew Philips screws in a pinch)

Side#2
Awl
Chisel/Prybar (not sure which one more useful yet)
????? Not sure what to have as tool #3 (I would like it to be a multi-purpose tool like a scalpel blade holder)

3D printed Scales (set up to allow the blade exchanger, a holder for an additional leatherman bit, AND a small slot for Vic Tweezers. I have a 3d printer and would love to do something unique with it.)

I'm sold on double S30V blades though. Talk about edge retention!

Cheers,
HG

I may have some extra parts to help make your dream setup happen. Shoot me a PM if you want to discuss.

Sent you a PM, definitely interested.

I really want to get a charge too so that I can start doing some design for 3D printed scales. I don't see why I cant fit all of the Vic attachments into them. And from 1-2 spare 2d bits.

Cheers,
H.G.

Yes I was thinking about that Sam. I may need to TIG spot weld. Will check once it’s all together. Thank for the advice.  :hatsoff:

I agree. Scissors will be good. Will have to sacrifice something as there are only 10 slots and shape/length limitations, so giving it some more thought.  :)

Since you’ll have a bit holder and a potential spot in the scales to hold a bit, you could always go grind a chisel bit.

Interesting idea Tarheelpwr to create a bit holder between the scales.  :like: there may be clearance issues on the inside, will have to check.

No idea but it would take a lot of grinding to a Wave handle to accomplish this I think :think: be cool to get one to work on it though :tu:

I'd do the grinding if I could get my hands on that driver. Problem is the rest of the tool is meh. So it would be hard for me to buy one. Anyone have a spare for sell or trade?
