Oh somehow I forgot the pic. Here it is.I thought the scissors could be modified to fit, but there is really no way. It wasn’t clear from the photos until I had some scissors out of the tool, but the distance between the tool pivot and the scissors blade pivot is greater on the CD scissors than on the mp600. It’s not just a shorter handle, the tool itself is longer. Charles.
Just got myself a CDplus. Really solid tool and got it from the Gerber website. The only thing is the driver wiggles left right and front and back. Doesn’t twist or anything. Does anyone’s else's do that or do I need to call Gerber?
Is it the whole driver implement or the bit within the end that wobbles?If it is the implement itself, more than a hair of play is not normal. Hope that helps. Welcome to MT.o!
It’s the whole implement. The bit holds tight. I’ll give Gerber a call. Is there a special tool to work with this bolts?
That doesn't sound right .On my regular CenterDrive the bit driver has no play whatsoever.
It’s a bummer cause it’s the only thing that seems wrong. Pliers line up great and everything is seems in good order. It honestly looks like maybe a washer wasn’t put it. The knife has one on the inside side. The driver doesn’t. I hate to have to get an exchange
Just checked the three CDs in the collection and none of them have any side-to-side or front-to-back motion.If the bolt is loose, it could be causing both types of play. But, as far as tightening, the only tool I know made for it is this.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lite-wrenches-for-parse-some-Gerber-Old-SOG-Tools/293031130444?hash=item443a04354c:g:dNAAAOSw4qxaorN7His tools are top-notch(many of us on MT.o have the Leatherman wrenches), but shipping from Russia takes a week or two. Even if you do send the tool back to Gerber, it wouldn't hurt to have a set to do maintenance in the future. If the play is minimal, it may be worth waiting until you get the wrenches, if you decide to get a set. That reminds me, need to order a set myself. Getting a little tired of scratching up Gerber screw heads.
Thank you for the tool link! Can’t seem to find it when I google it. I’m thinking that might be all it needs. It’s like a mm of movement both ways. I tried turning it with a small set of pliers but I didn’t want to mess up the screw heads.
Just thought I would share that it was the bolt. I found out my channel lock teach fit real nicely into the grooves. Just took my time getting them in place and a few turns good as gold. Thank you everyone!!!
Yes, I've seen them...But at €22 excl shipping, I've decided to give it a go like this first.

I am trying to reconcile the complaints on Amazon.com about problems with the Center Drive Plus leather case with the praise I read in other venues.
Why exactly is there an RCA Paracorded to your CD?
Because I thought all the skull beads on paracord lanyards were hokey and stupid. Plus I’m a big fan of vintage audio equipment. I put a “bead” on that had meaning to me. Plus if I find a bad patch cable I can fix it on the spot! Charles.
