Not to say it cant be done. Heres my SOG Pocket PowerPlier with one handle full of BO Rebar parts, the other SOG parts. Just had to bend one of the retention tabs inward to engage the Leatherman parts.(Image removed from quote.)Alignment issues with Leatherman parts I use the Phillips driver with the pliers open.

What this means is that in Leatherman tools, the lock wont engage, because the SOG notch is too thin. On SOG tools, you will get lots if tool wobble, and the tools wont align with the profile of the tool.

On SOG tools, you will get lots if tool wobble, and the tools wont align with the profile of the tool.Just so I have this straight.With a bit of file-work the SOG tool could actually fit quite well into a LM but the other way round you have to bend the lock, meaning that you have to fill one side of your SOG with LM tools (you can't just introduce one).Btw, NICE mod
G'Day,Some manual filing or sanding may be required if you put SOG parts into the older LM chassis. I put a SOG saw into a PST where the blade goes, without too much trouble. The pivot hole was the correct size as well as the thickness, but I had to sand the bottom and the top to get the tool to close completely. I have not tried with any locking tools though.Link to my original post: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,48498.msg1165492.html#msg1165492Cheers,Pete
So this means I may be able to put a SOG saw pretty easy into my PST 1.5 That seems like.a.worthwhile thing for me to try anyway

Not difficult at all, but a little time consuming. I took it slowly with the sanding, it is never easy to add metal back that was removed with to much enthusiastic sanding or filing. The kids have used it a fair bit to make spears in the back garden and it has held up as if was an OEM part of the PST. Post pics of the completed PST 1.5.2 Pete
Those lock in place unmodified? Any tool wobble? How is the alignment of the screwdriver?

The Phillips and scissors need to be opened and they don't lock by themselves. You just have to press the piano lock in and then they lock. There's minimal wiggle, but I press full force on the locked Phillips and there is no unlocking, it has a bit of play but stays locked.Scissors the same.
What about Leatherman implements in a SOG PPP?Will the tab provide retention?The PPP is awesome, but the Philips should be thicker, there's plenty of room. Instead they just stuck the default one in.

Instead they just stuck the default one in.Ive done it on mine. It does require bending the retention tab inwards a little bit, but it is otherwise very straightforward. the leatherman otols also open slightly past center.
