Swisstool Spirit Upgrade
on: March 25, 2018, 09:52:16 PM
Always wanted to do this but have not got the time..

Spirit is an excellent tool but the wire cutters had always been something I really dislike.. Its simply does not cut properly. I had mine that's used and the cutters are pretty much busted. So it gave me an excuse to tear it apart.. :P

Fitted in a LM Plier head. Fitting is done. Problem faced - pivot size, back spring etc.. many challenges to overcome.. Already have an idea of where to get a proper pivot screw once I am happy with how it holds up.

Its a bit unfinished, 3am here.. have to Zzzzzz.. At the moment, its fully functional. Taking it for a ride tmr at work.


Pivot problem solved with bushing. Took me 3 hours to make the 2 bushing!! Super primitive method!!  :facepalm:

Pliers tip need some re-profiling work to close it properly.


 :cheers:

Very brave of you, Sam! Nice idea and looks cool so far! A definite upgrade.
Why Vic has not changed the micro wire cutters on the swisstools...I'll never know.

I would likely vomit if I knew I just nullified the warranty.  :ahhh
At least when you mod LMs and Gerbers, most mods can be reversed for warranty work. Edit: I even have spare plier heads for my blunted MTs.
Hats off to you, Sam! :hatsoff:

Here, warranty is almost non existant unless purchases are from authorised dealers at exorbitant price. Vic I have never really check out how the warranty works. But even if I were to send it in and they replace one or fix it, it still a plier cutter that I will have difficulty using. So.. I am fixing things that are already broken. No losses if I can't fix it.  ;)

Very nice work Sam :clap: I :like: it :cheers:

 :hatsoff: still quite a bit of detailing work to be done. I was thinking if I were to enlarge the holes to 5.5mm would that be easier.. But without proper press drill, I doubt I can perfectly align all 4 layers per handle.. That would be 8 holes to drill through.  :ahhh.. I chose the bushing over drilling.. If this pliers breaks, one with replaceable cutter will take its place..  :D

Finished my day with just this MT. Its honestly the first time I carried only a Spirit as a MT with me. Before this, I simply cannot live with the original set of pliers. Sorry Vic.. Paired with a separate utility cutter, OHO doesn't quite matter anymore.  :) it truly carry a good set of quality tools.

Some updates on this..

Did a little bit of work on the pliers tip to let the handles close properly..




Some hiccup on the pivot screws I had in mind... Its too short. But I found this instead. The smooth area is the exact length I need. Still fastened by bolts, but that doesn't bother me.

OK, let's be fair. Any spirit users that really think that the original pliers head is superior, pls do kindly shout out why.

I personally find it rather difficult to use. Apart from the strange design of the wire cutter, the pliers tip are neither Blunt nor needlenose.  Making both tasks quite a challenge. Btw, does anyone else notice at the hard wire notch, there is a intentional gap between the teeth. I can never figure out why is that built in such a way.
