Oh my that is awesome, Sam! You're welcome for the idea, but wow did you do a nice job!
On a side note, the plier head is similar to the way I regrind my broken tipped needle noses at work. Similar to a SOG plier head. Very nice for fine work!

So, when ya going to start mass producing these 'MP400Lim' MTs? :like:

Now that you reminded me of the SOG PPP, I dun feel so bad about grinding down on the plier tip.. Yes, the narrowed tip is really suited for fine work.  :cheers:

A little how-to on installing the clip.

Its a standard Wave/charge clip with a little modification. Somewhere in the middle of the screw post, u will need to cut out a groove for the pocket clip to slide in. See pic and you will get it. A little precision cutting. Go slow. A proper nice cut will minimize any side to side play. On the clip, ground off any excess on the sides and leave some allowance on the bottom 2 "feets". Now side to side is settled if you have done the cut nicely.


Red is the area you need to cut groove. Green is the position of the pocket clip


Next you have prevent it from moving up and down or sliding off. What I did was, I torch the "feets"one by one. When it hot/soft enough, I hammer the buggers to wrap it around the pivot.

See, you are done. Easy as pie.

Just happened that that particular side of the pivot is in a fixed position. That helps alot. And because that clip is already jammed between the frame and post screw, you will be able to still do some adjustment to the tightness of the implements without much affecting the clip.

You can anneal, bend, heat treat the pocket clip pretty easily. I've done a few of them now.

You can anneal, bend, heat treat the pocket clip pretty easily. I've done a few of them now.

Thanks, another quick question, do I really need to heat treat it after annealing? Thought without doing it, it will keep it softer. Lesser chance of breakage? I have almost zero knowledge in these things.

Thanks for the very clear and clever explanation Sam  :salute: Great work.

 :salute:

There's still a little problem though. The gap at the top the clip is a little roomy. It hangs alright but goes not grip tight in the pocket. I snapped one clip before this trying to close the gap.

You can anneal, bend, heat treat the pocket clip pretty easily. I've done a few of them now.

Thanks, another quick question, do I really need to heat treat it after annealing? Thought without doing it, it will keep it softer. Lesser chance of breakage? I have almost zero knowledge in these things.

That is up to you. Would think the heat treat gives the pocket clip a better spring ability. None of mine have broken.
