Title: Plier head swap
Post by: RaptorMan on June 04, 2010, 04:33:23 AM: Does anyone know if a PST plier head will interchange into a sideclip? Im working on a contingency plan if I cant get my sideclips original plier head working right. Ive got mine disassembled or I would try it.

Post by: kwakster on June 04, 2010, 09:21:31 AM: No, a plierhead from a PST will not fit into a Sideclip because it doesn't have the flattened section on one side needed to fit in between the screwdrivers in the handle when the tool is closed.

You have a nice day too, if that's possible for a bot.

Which one of you mods is going to escort our "littlegirl" from Thailand out the door?

Problem with the Sideclip (as compared to the PST) is the fact that each handle is comprised of two parts - not a single folded piece of steel like the PST. This means that the friction ramp could cause quite a bit of damage to the handles, so I deemed it "not very bright" and stopped :D
