Leatherman drum key mod
on: September 08, 2017, 07:39:25 PM
We have been renting quite a few drum sets recently and I thought it prudent to have a key on hand. :hatsoff:
As this is MTO, it couldn't be any drum key. When I was looking around at drum multitools I found these.
Cool, but they do not fit the slim Leatherman tool slot. So I had an idea. Let's mod one.

Before and after


A different view.


I cut the small end off as it is not needed for the Leatherman tool slot.
Next was some careful grinding with the Dremel.


As you can see it fits! So I have one for my Gerber kits and one for Leatherman.

Nice MM. I have thought about doing something like this but always come to the conclusion that I would rather have a standalone key (kept with the kit) as you can spin it quickly for major adjustments.

Thanks   :hatsoff:
We rent drum sets from other suppliers and sometime we get a key and sometimes we don't. So to have something cooler than a normal drum key I got the ones supposed to go into a 1/4 driver. The better players always have their own key.

Genius.
This is what modding is all about: a good solution to a specific need (or want!)

+1

In fact also a good trick to make an adapter for normal-sized bits, if you can't get the Leatherman one or think that's too long.
