Recharge "egrahceR"

[JT]

 


So, I've been workin on this Recharge for a bit and and finally got it done.  It actually didn't take me overly long, but I wanted to expand to another level...thank you to the modders

they definitely don't like each other..

nice work! I like the lighting in the first pic.

did you make any other modifications besides the plier head swap?

Nice plier head, looks just like the Wave's but with replaceable cutters

Thanks!

I am planning on having the head electropolished to "smooth" it all out.  I don't see any weaknesses in the pliers, but I haven't put them through the test yet. 

The main reason I did this was to eliminate modifying any of the internal tools, mostly the scissor handle issue.  This way I can simply replace the original plier head if any warranty returns would be needed in the future.  I am still thinking of doing the outside scissors with 91mm Vic's.  Just need the time to do it. 

Anyhow, just wanted to share a different way of doing the Recharge/Rewave mod

please keep us posted on how the pliers hold up during testing! I'm definitely curious as to whether or not the plier head has been weakened at all. I haven't modified the plier head on any of my mods for exactly that reason.

This way I can simply replace the original plier head if any warranty returns would be needed in the future. 

the people in the LM's warranty department can tell when a tool has been modified, even if everything is restored to the original configuration. I've asked them about it before.

in my opinion, when I modify a tool, as soon as the first screw comes out, I have knowingly and willingly voided the warranty and forfeited the right to any future warranty claims on that particular tool.

That is a good point...but it's too much fun to tinker around with mods, right!?
