Gerber MP600 with spring-loaded jaws?? Bobbaero are you there?

In the MP600 club I found a post by bobbaero, showcasing his MP600 mods. So many blades that it seems impossible... but that's not the coolest part. The coolest part (to me) are the spring-loaded jaws. HOW?!? I want that mod so bad! I tried fiddling with a spring from the hardware store, but I must be missing something because no matter how I bend it, it would never stay in the tool. It'd either bind up or launch across the room. (much to the dog's fright!)

Help me out with this one? How do I make my MP600 spring-loaded?





Charles.

Have a look at Sam Lins thread.  I'm pretty sure he used a spring from a bulldog clip That was effective.  :salute:

Thank you Magentus.  :salute:

CC, its really just a simple "spring" made from a binder clip. Just need to drill 2 holes for the clip to go in. You will need to bend the 2 ends like a hook so that they do not fall out. The cable tie is to hold the clip in place. So far so good. I try to attach more close up picture later.  :cheers:

Not as cool as Bob's spring, but probably easier to implement. I do love me some spring-loaded pliers :)

That said, maybe this is better done to an MP400. I don't want to drill my handles and then decide I don't like it.

This is the original mod by Metropolicity. He took the spring from the PC Multitasker.
