I know I should not complain about free shipping,  but when it was $7.95 FREE  UPS shipping, I was surprised to see that the ETA is next Thursday.

I know that is not that long,  but I am excited to get these

Could either be because they take a few days to ship out or because it is Labor Day weekend. Might just be low priority shipping like Amazon does for there free shipping though I cannot imagine it being as slow as Amazons free shipping. I swear its like a punishment. I have literally had packages sit for 5-6 days before even leaving the warehouse.

Mine shipped Yesterday.

Am I the only one thinking of getting one of each and swapping the black tools into the orange frame? 

I thought about it. I believe Ashley has done exactly that. Looks excellent. I don't know why they did not do that as a factory offering in the first place.

I think it's just me so far, but I could be wrong. My knifeless "Fuse-ilier" mod .... again 

(Image removed from quote.)

aaahhh I want one!

OMG. That looks even better than it did in my head.

Thanks to the expert-level enabling of Kampfer I have a pair on the way and soon after will have them in bits and a Orange/BO uber-Fuse assembled... to hell with warranty.

Still in my cart , they're gonna be sold out before I get a chance to order one  .

I went a little overboard with PSTs this month, got 3... ok 4 (don't let my wife know), so the orange Fuse and the BO Blast will have to wait.

For now .

The orange Fuse is sold out already

Bummer. 

[detron]

The orange Fuse is sold out already

they also sold out of the BO Blast a while back,  but a few days later they had more on the site

[detron]

I also hope they get more in stock,  I was going to buy a few more in the near future. 

   the reason I cannot get more, is I posted the link here     sharing is caring!

[Rux]

Grrr!!! Wish I could've capitalized on this deal.

[sawman]

I wanted a black Fuse, and I can afford it, but will decline because I don't like the idea of giving LM any more of my money

Off topic, but did you read the circle? How did you like it? I´m about 1/3 in.

I did not read it,  sorry  I had to look it up.  what do you think of it so far?

[mrynnr]

Anyone one order a few extras and willing to let go of one?  I ordered two for backup and they just called to let me know there was only one left.  I really wanted to try the black and orange mod.

they sold out fast,  sorry, I did not get any extras.  I had planned to buy more (like today) but they were gone too fast.

I am glad I saw it right away, and posted it here (Kamfer did too)  glad some people were able to get them.  I do wish they had "Found more"

   found a box in the back!

The Blast is on there too for $40.00.

My co-worker (who has a Wave and Skeletool, but is not a member here    ) bought a Orange Fuse and a BO one.
he brought them in to work today, and said he wished they had the BO tools and pliers in the Orange body.


I told him they could be switched, it is just a mod, but it would void his warranty, and the Orange Fuse is not for sale anymore.

he told me if I do the swap, I could have the left over pieces.   

Challenge accepted, and a mod coming soon.

Cool 

I do like my Fuse-ilier mod, but stainless tools in a BO frame can look nice too

[AimlessWanderer]

Yours will be better too, because it's free

I love the bit setup.  How can I get hooked up for one? 

[AimlessWanderer]

Honestly, don't bother 

It was somehing I decided to try out, but it's a PITA to use. The bit driver doesn't fully lock, but the main issue is the pliers. As it stands with shorter bits, the plier head catches badly on closure, and when I tried with longer bits in, it stopped the tool closing fully. Makes for a nice pic, but really this is just a neat way of keeping spare parts together until I come up with a better way of using them 

[detron]

OK,  the swap was not that bad,  would have been done in like 15 minutes if it was not for those washers that made me understand what frustration really is.

anyway, on to the write-up

so here are the factory tools





hard to see, but notice the different angles on the large flat drivers (I took a better angled photo,  but you could not see the silver one)





so I like using the engineer pliers, but I also like NOT scratching the body of the tools so I decided to try something new, and it worked fairly decently.

I used these



and put them on the end of the pliers like so





they wore out before I was finished, I just replaced them and it was all good.

here is the tear down results



so, I also wanted to switch the lock releases so that the Orange Tool had black insides and locks.



ALL DONE!!!!!

orange handles, with black tools, black pliers, black locks, and black knurled knobs.










AND the BO handles with all silver everywhere.












I think my coworker is going to be happy,  I am actually very happy with my "Hidden Shiny"
