Nice job again Dave, I really like my A100. Did you remove the main blade Dave & have to tackle that tiny nut

The little nut that you refer to is actually welded in place, so you only need to remove the external one (for which I used the socket you can just see in one of the pics).Before I realised that, I was intending to grip the internal nut with a Squirt P4 or Clutch - didn't need to in the end though.

Did you like the way I used a pink Squirt, 'cos you're being a big girl about it Get into it. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, etc
Well Dave, you've inspired me to get after an old A100 I've got. Actually it is one with Craftsman markings, but exactly the same as the Kershaw in all other respects. Nothing horribly damaged on it, just plenty of dings and scratches and gunk. Here is a picture of it gutted. With any luck I'll have it reassembled this evening.(Image removed from quote.)
So Dave what is the best thing for cleaning bird poo out of multitools ?? Or should I ask Ben
Bob. The black "block" on the left of the picture - about half way up - is that the thread that the adjusting screw fits into? If so, is it plastic on yours? Mine is metal - probably aluminium.
Removing them with steel wool or scotch brite leaves a spot that never matches the factory finish. The little dremel wire wheel is the answer to that problem.

Done. (bottom one in the pictures)...The screwdrivers were all boogered up. I reshaped them with a diamond file. Touched up the knife blade and re-buffed it with the dremel. Also used a little wire wheel attachment on the dremel to remove all the rust speckles. It worked surprisingly well. On tools with a bead blast finish (the A100, many Gerber tools, Leatherman SideClip, etc) the rust speckles get started rather easily.

Nicely done sir Good tip about the bead blasting. In the past I've not got on well with little wire wheels, they seemed to shed at an alarming rate often managing to embed them selves in my hands and arms in the process I jest not. I suspect purchasing a genuine dremmel one might be in order rather than the cheap knock offs.Neil

Ahh, good point. Always wear glasses when using a wire wheel.
