Thanks peeps for the kind words!  :salute:

During actual use, its decently comfortable. Much better than the mini tool definitely.

It feels nice in the hand, operate using the 2 fingers. The lanyard works as an extension so there are more things for me to hold. Its still quite a chunky block of metal with more rounded edges especially on the handle unlike the original unforgiving mini tool that digs into the palm.

That's so nice, seeing the Mini with the MicroWave. Great tool selection on there, if it had the Mini's extendable handles, it would be even more awesome, and a welcome addition to Leatherman's lineup.

It is very nice, and perhaps more rounded and comfortable, but it lacks leverage

To start off, its a Sunday and my wife and kids are not around. So I have all the time to myself.

No good tools / parts were victimised in this mod. All came from my box of ' spare parts '...

I had a wave frame that had one side on internal tools broken into 2 piece. Probably the previous user put in too much torque into twisting with the drivers.

Anyway, here's what i did.. Kinda mixed feeling.. I am still trying to figure out how to make the finish less like a wave chopped into half.. The bottom part look a little strange..

Pictured with a Mini.

As I had lost the function of the drivers, decided to add in one modified one.

Finally a picture with the OHO. I didnt need a scissors as I always have a micra with me. Toolset are mostly place holders until until I can finalise what I want to put in. At the moment, Its fully functional. The shortness of the handle was one of my concern, in real usage it feels quite decent, much more comfortable than the Mini.

Now, I need to think of a way to make the bottom less awkward...  :-\

I apologise to everybody, if I'm being rude but this contraption is something between "cute" and "a circumcision gone wrong"... :-[

Well, no need for apology.  :cheers: It's literally chopped into half.. I would even call this an amputation...

Can't argue with that. It have a short handle. But it have the robustness of a full size tool. I just need to train harder for a deadlier death grip.  :D
