Seems a bit OTT when you can do it with pliers in about 30 seconds.
and look at the price of 1 of those :ahhh 165 US :o just to change a spring :think: for that much it should take apart and reassemble the whole SAK while you're at work :D

I do have a CampFlame though ;)
You can do the job pretty well with pliers (I used a P4) but the kit does make it easier and it does see a fair amount of use. I can't remember exactly what I paid but I think it was around £30 off ebay.

Check this out...anyone got one????I have one for professional use since I change dozens of springs on used SAKs but I can't imagine why anyone would pay money for one for home use on the occasional SAK. The springs are very easy to change with a pair of pliers.

That's what I was about to suggest actually Tim. If you have loads to do, and time is money and all that - it's surely like any machine!

I'm sure that's a good reason to bump a ten year old thread. For a while I thought Benner, Neil and bren10man were backThe new kids really aren't good enough for you eh?! :pok:

BTW, the kit includes a lot of interesting "nowhere to be found" old model springs.
even black single leaf ones. I had a lot of fun sorting them all out. They look soo much alike.
The springs alone made it worth my while.

Good luck finding the tools you need :tu:

I find organizing kits like this relaxing. Glad you found this kit. I do hope you also find the missing parts. Opening an old thread is a great way to prompt someone who might have them or can locate them for you. Good luck.

I've only seen the tools IN the kit. Nice find on the black single leaf spring. Any ===doubles=== in there?
Pardon my french, but do you mean "double black springs" or "spare single leaf springs" ?
in the kit were remaining exactly three single leaf black springs.
the rest are classical double leaf, different sizes - i'll post a pic ASAP

He meant if you, by any chance, have a black single leaf spring to spare. :cheers:I've only seen the tools IN the kit. Nice find on the black single leaf spring. Any ===doubles=== in there?

I don't like vintage SAKs with modern scissors springs :(
Has anyone ever asked Vic if they had them still in stock?
Post by: Mechanickal on January 26, 2019, 12:04:09 PM
I need single leaf black ones too :ahhhMy Alumnus came back last summer with a single leaf black spring...

How odd...... yesterday, when I sorted all the little buggers out, I could hawe SWORN there were three of them.
and this morning, only two left.
On the other hand, I do have a little cat since Christmas, it is quite nimble at stealing little things.
Black single springs are rare enough, but not enough for me sifting through her litter. And then again I have no proof.

:D I meant "double black springs". Sure, I think many of us could use some black single leafs...but I wouldn't raid your kit! ;) Just curious if I needed to go hunting for vintage kits...still looks like a nice find! :tu:Kamakiri is fortunate enough to have a representative in Europe.He meant if you, by any chance, have a black single leaf spring to spare. :cheers:I've only seen the tools IN the kit.
