Screwdriver layer
on: June 07, 2019, 04:54:16 PM
Hi all, I'm planning another adventurous mod...  >:D

Do you think it would be possible to have the Phillips screwdriver and flat head/bottle opener in one layer on a 91mm frame? Forgetting the thickness difference and potentially the flat head being too long, which spring do you think could be most easily modified?

In a perfect world there wouldn't be any back tools on this layer - I'll make a filler piece if necessary.

Answers on a postcard...   ???

Thanks

I'm thinking two of the bottle opener springs, and a short style Philips. I'm worried about the Phillips tang though, the newer versions are freaky looking.  :think:
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

What do you mean? Don't have my parts box at the moment so can't see for myself.
Also, I think I have the long version...

Clear frame magnifying glass comes with a short Phillips that would fit better.
Grey frame magnifier comes with the long version.

There are several versions of the short Phillips, that are only different on the tang.
The newer such versions have a complex tang made for a complex spring, that would need modifying.
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Ahh, thinking about it, I think I have the short version then, and one of each...

One is from a spartan lite:


And one from a clear frame mag swiss champ, which I think has the weird tang you mentioned.

I'll take a look at the two opener spring approach, but what about springs that don't have back tools? Ideally it'll look neater than me making a filler (although like I said, if I have to...)

Currently looking at the backspring for the lite/Philips from the spartan lite above. Think I might be able to pay with that a little to accommodate the flat head instead of the magnifying glass and put the Phillips on the left.
Will post more when I've investigated  :whistle:
