FrankenGerber Kit and Gerber maintenance tool

[JAfromMn]

I did a topic not long ago on the Gerber Mp600 and it was a great tool besides it lacking tool set.

I had a few ideas of how I wanted to improve my Gerber but couldn't make up my mind on a few things like what style blade I wanted to use etc. Then it hit me. MAKE THE TOOL YOU WANT.  The tool I want is always changing so I made a tool that can change easily

So here's my FrankenGerber



I can disasemble it easily so I can swap tool / replace a broken tool or change plier head or blades to fit the job i think I'll be up to that day.



Plier heads
 new style bluntnose and old style needle nose .




I went with old style Plane, partly and fully serrated blades.






Thanks for all the help Tom and Steve.

 I owe you guys

Badass makes me wish gerber was a little like sog letting you mix and match parts on purpose instead of forcefully.

Badass yes.
 hard to take apart no no no.
 Nothing forceful about it

 easiest tools to take apart and put back together that I have ever messed with. Way easier than leatherman just as easy as sog maybe easier

Take apart a old Mr. Pinchy. Now that's easy......

Seriously, No washer or anything. To reassemble just put the tools in the correct order and screw it together.

Nice tool! It's a lot nicer than using a tool that is ok but never feels percect.

I cut this wrench out of Handel of a Gerber tool. It works great. 

It doesn't mare or scratch the tool

The first task for my new tool

[JAfromMn]

Only one Gerber tool was destroyed for this project. 

There is enough parts left to build a mp600.

I plan on giving away it for my 5000 post giveaway.

A big Thanks to bmot. My tool turned out awesome because of his donor tool .

I can't believe how happy I am over a Gerber tool

Well done Joel,that's a great looking Gerber! I've really come to the belief that the only way to have the perfect MT is to mod it!

you mean 'NORMAL' !!!

[Taxi Dad]

looking at the original pic, of the tool layout 
it would be perfect if you could just squeeze in an AWL and I'd prefer a PE blade ..... will I ever be 100% happy 

[Cupboard]

Now that looks like a Gerber I'd carry 

[AimlessWanderer]

Excellent job, Joel!

[sawman]

[rdub934]
