Title: Original leatherman wave pocket clip mod
Post by: Sam Lim on September 20, 2017, 07:46:45 PM: Just a bit of sharing. This is a rather simple mod but you would need some spare parts from a wingman/sidekick. I have alot of spare parts.. So no good leatherman were sacrificed in the process.. ;)

Doing this from a phone.. I have no idea how to arrange the guides accordingly to the pictures..

You will need,

1) A pivot screw from the pocket clip of wingman/sidekick.
2) lanyard ring from a PST. Optional.. The original one on the wave is useless. It have tool clumping so whenever u move the lanyard, all the tools will swing out. And it obstruct the usage of the implements.
3) A pocket clip from the wingman/sidekick obviously.. With the "pin" broken off.
4) A thick washer from the pliers of the wingman/sidekick. Or any similar will do.

Let's get on with the picture.

There's very little side to side play, almost none. Definitely way lesser than the clip attachment on the new wave, if any at all.

Yeah. There are always a time that there's no pockets or sheath to hold the tool. Just stuff it into the waist band and go. Never like just dropping tools into pockets even.
