Thanks jar head.

So I saw the lanyard, flatheads and philips? Am I missing something?

The other end has the package opener, file/ruler and bottle/can opener. I couldn't find any spare scissors so went with a lanyard ring instead. I reworked the flat and phillips so they click in nice and firm. The blade is combo edge.

very nice! how long did it take you?

[captain spaulding]

Good work. 

I'm still thinking I will do one myself. Seems quite easy.

If I had ripped out the spring it would have taken twenty minutes.

I ended up taking a couple hours.
Spent a lot of time looking at it deciding what to do.
Then it is file, test and repeat again and again and again until it works.

Probably not something I would have made for myself but it's pretty cool.

Thanks capt.    Any idea what parts you will use?

What took ya so long, mate!?

What took ya so long, mate!?   

I was looking for some spare scissors.    Well that and my OCD...

[Kampfer]

If anything is worth doing, then it is worth overdoing.
Now all tools click into place. I left out the scissors mod, as it only adds complexity and get in to way of other tools.

Not at all mate, the scissors are one of the tools that actually sit and fit surprisingly well. Look at my photo on page one, it's pretty much perfect fit, I don't believe LM would get the scissors integrated better. They're definitely something I'd suggest people try installing.

That's just so wicked now I really want one. I hope LM see this and start making it.

Read the availability information on that image.

I tried it, didnt like it. Plus wave scissors can not match Micra which I carry anyway.

[SteveC]

Kampfer,  what did you have to do to get them all to click ?

I'm still thinking about picking one up to mess with.

If he does not take them I might be interested. 

[kalans]

When Rev is released I might do it on that

[Lynn LeFey]

Are you happy now, zoidberg?



I get my Sidekick back into working condition and I go and do THIS to it.
 

[mrynnr]

If I can do this mod successfully this would be a cool gift for my nephews

Easy, file down the drivers to match the pliers pivot then you are good to go. Leave the handle the way it is.

Please do, I need it for another mod. Sorry cap.

Damnit.  This thread is making me feel like the only kid at school without a pair of the latest "must have" trainers.

So... I've been playing with this mod and...

I am pretty solidly convinced that modifying the drivers to fit into the 'front' where the plier heads was without removing the plier retention spring is better than removing the plier retention spring.

Certainly not FASTER, but better.

Losing all retention on the drivers really limits their usefulness, IMO.

Otherwise... I think this makes a handy little package. It's about the same size (minus protruding bolts and pocket clip) as the Vic Farmer, and packs in about as much useful function. I assume that the Sidekick's saw, with some major work, could be made into an inside folding tool. You might have to lose one of the file/can opener/ serrated blade slots to make it fit, though.
