Title: Leatherman Free/Bond/Curl pocket clip and lanyard information
Post by: CarbideCruzer on January 02, 2023, 07:30:50 AM
Leatherman's website doesn't list the fastener information for their Free/Bond/Curl pocket clip and lanyard.  All I need to know is the screw length size and threads per inch.  I've emailed Leatherman and had zero luck there. 

Does anyone know this information?

Yep. This information is from Leatherman tool users group from fb. Wolfgang Jannach aka Mountain Man is the source.

Wolfgang is a great modder and source of knowledge  :salute: thanks for the info, Mang :woohoo: :like:

Leatherman never gives info like that because they don't really want people modding the tools :dunno: :D

Thank you immensely for that information.  As based off what I've read the tap size needed is 2-56 along with the twist drill being between #49 and #50.   LittleMachineshop has two charts that have been quite helpful and I'll post links below in hopes this might help others as Leatherman seems uninterested/unwilling to provide this information.

Interesting that a 1.77 mm twist drill was used along with M2 screws.
