SOG PowerPint latch
on: January 06, 2025, 02:19:26 PM
I like the PowerPint but it is floppy. No retention when closed. So I'm trying to turn a figure 8 into a figure 9. It'll go on the pocket clip pivot, and hook onto the lanyard ring that I screwed on backwards.
I doubt it will work on my first try, but at least I'll have an idea of what to adjust.

Awesome mod, does that latch go just go around that screw or under it?

Thanks everyone! :cheers:
The latch goes around the lanyard ring. I screwed it on backwards. I'll look in my parts box for a screw that fits, but has a wider head, but this is still nice and tight.
