That's a pretty sexy little tool there.

Thanks, comes in around 7.6oz of pure awesome. Its going to be really hard to beat this for weight vs. function. Not to mention that I haven't even shown how the 1/4" driver now actually retains the bits with the Braeon tape in the hole. Also, I find myself using the hammer quite often to tap things into place. The hammer is gentle enough to do fine tasks (since I don't have a small peening hammer atm).

Are the signal pliers the same as the rebar? I just made a Reblaster last night cause the rebar handles hurt my "delicate" hands and they look similar.

Yes they are identical. I definitely recommend the signal, moreso because of the super tough blade. You can push the thing through sheet metal fairly easily with the tough tip.

Honestly the blade on a MT is not a priority for me, I carry a dedicated folding knife at all times so best case the blade is backup. It's actually the reason behind the mini razor knife head in my OHT, it's sharp and replaceable and more compact. I'm all in on tools in my MTs.

and now...near multi-tool perfection. Or at least for my purposes.. Full write up of the mod coming next week likely, need some time to sit down and write it up.

I like the changes. I am curious how you got the scissors there, in place of the can opener.  :salute:

The scissors use the same lock back mechanism that most Leatherman use, so it is simple swap as far as I know.

Had to cut a mirror indent on the other side of the exchanger. Also there is plenty of room for the scissors because the frame is somewhat flexible at that point.

Also what mod do you think I have in mind next based on this photo?

This is what I came up with but want to keep working on it. I might actually get some new metal stock and work the metal from scratch.

Cheers,

This is prototype idea #1, I am working on a design on Onshape that could easily be laser cut and would work much better than modding a can opener.

That’s a super-fun concept HG. You could add a wrist brace that holds the pliers open at the correct angle, and maybe some storage space for the shot?  :like:

your on the exact wavelength I am, go even further and you can turn this into a Lever bow..



here is my designed concept V1



I moved the Locking slot down 15 degrees so that I would make the forks father apart than the handle which means you don't have to adjust the MT opening angle.

I think I need to give up on the flatband idea entirely. there just isn't enough flat space. If I focus on setting it up for tube bands i have a lot more options.

Very cool HG... gotta look into slingshots  :tu:

What about having a bit adapter on each side and designing a pair of "bits" for the attachment?

Can you explain this a little more? I like the idea.



If I give up on the flat bands I get something like this, no reason to give up the wire stripper right?

Nice  :like:

... what I meant was having the LM flat bit holder available in both handles. Then simply making a pair of two strap attachments for the slingshot that can be inserted into each bit holder, like a normal bit?

or I guess you could use a hex hole, it wouldn't make too much difference to the bands as long as they have been sanded to remove edges.

Right on! definitely was something I thought of, but I worry about the retention...I feel like the forward momentum might pull the attachments right out of the drivers.

Some times simple is better. On the wave, if you remove the second lanyard piece u can put two removable lanyard clips on the ends and make a slingshot simply that way. Ordered a second one, will show next week.

Did reshape skeletool serrated blade to straight blade. Result in left. As ref original freestyle cx on right. Quite happy with result. Starting to be as sharp as cx. Metal is still 420.
