TSA Safe Leatherman Squirt with a Blade
on: February 19, 2019, 01:35:22 AM
Howdy, figured I'd share my new leatherman squirt modification. Goal was to design a pocket tool that I could use as my main carry while still being able to take it on a plane. I wasn't willing to sacrifice the blade, so I added a scalpel holder where I can detach the scalpel if I need to fly somewhere. Also did I minor mod so that I could fit a pair of tweezers in as well. The back isn't going to be to interesting (well, stay tuned I am working on one surprise) with just a pair of keys on it.

Will be trying it out as a replacement to my old Style - https://imgur.com/gallery/iNqN5 (With the the way the style is designed, it could not accommodate the scalpel holder)

That looks like a good solution for anyone that flies a lot that wants to take a small MT with them without it being confiscated by security  :salute:

Nice work Trebor  :like:

How about modding an LM file to replace an entire scale? So the side of the Squirt becomes a file?  :dunno:

Oh man!! Really love what you've done and the scalpel idea!

I have one I could do the same. Where did you get the scalpel holder?

This is a very good idea and a good implementation! I'm impressed.  :cheers:

BTW doesn't TSA cause you problems because of the other tools in there? The scissors or even the screw driver can be used as a "weapon" from a paranoid point of view  ???

To answer a couple questions:

I have one I could do the same. Where did you get the scalpel holder?

The scalpel holder can be found either at battery junction or on ebay, just search for titanium folding scalpel. Its not cheap, being more expensive than the squirt itself. It comes with a two number 11 blades, but for. ~$5 you can get 100 number 8s. I'm hoping the titanium will make it outlast the rest of the tool.
Nice work Trebor  :like:

How about modding an LM file to replace an entire scale? So the side of the Squirt becomes a file?  :dunno:
Great idea on the file for a scale, I'm going to look into this. Only possible hangups are that grinding a file down could go beyond my tools capabilities and that being a pocket tool it might scratch other items in my pocket (worried about my phone and forgettfully dropping them in the same pocket.
This is a very good idea and a good implementation! I'm impressed.  :cheers:

Also, as for TSA, haven't actually gone through yet. I'll probably bring an envelope with postage prepaid on it so I can ship it back if I run into a Rambo agent. The rules says no sharps, but scissors are allowed as long as they are under 4 inches. With the scissors extended, it measures 3.8 inches, so I should be good by all the official rules, we'll have to see how it plays out. Also no screw driver yet. I have a tread that i modified to work with my Gear Fit 2 - Leatherman Tread as Gear Fit watch band https://imgur.com/gallery/Jl9KzCU. This covers basic tools but really I want more, so next I'm going to see if I can add a leatherman bit driver to this tool. I'm hoping it will have the advantage of being able to use as a quick disconnect from a key chain if I drill a hole through a leatherman bit and put it on a key ring.

Great update on your post Trebor. You need to try for one of the mod badges.  :salute:

Waiting for more mod pics as you take this platform further.  :popcorn:

Go to your user profile and hit the awards option. Then select show available and look for the hacker badge. Send the request with a link to this thread. :)
