Love the MP400! It's a great urban carry especially when you swap out the knife for a file and go bladeless. Kinda surprised Gerber doesn't sell a bladeless version like the MP600. I read your recent post on the Spirit vs the MP400 and found myself really interested in the Spirit...so much so I got my GF one to replace her old SOG. Mine is coming soon :) But even though those two MTs are similar in size, the Gerber still feels beefier. I like that the tools inside the MP400 are the same ones from the full size MP600. Most "compact" versions of MT's feature "compact" tools . This is a hard use tool made with smaller pliers and a slimmer tool selection: live with less but put it to hard use. Also I really like Gerber pliers, they deploy quickly and have great geometry with a comfortable grip. Here's a pic of my MP425 bladeless, it's made up of a cheap MP400 tool I found in great shape on eBay and some spare parts from a MP600. I've also got a standard MP400 which I got new a while back for weekend carry.Nice post Chris! Pics too, and extra points for including the right tool. :cheers: See people, it's not that hard (Back off PFRSANTOS :D )

This is probably old news for some of you, but I was just looking at the MP400 (corkscrew) I picked up a while back and noticed the pliers head is slimmer, especially at the tip. Is this common in older examples or something specific to the corkscrew model?

The MP426 never needs this adjustment. Probably needs a bit of Loctite or similar.
Neil (the Beeman, former mod here) used to swear by nail varnish as a semi-permanant thread locker.
Forgot to post the triumphant pics of my '400 with metal file, scissors aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand............. Woodsaw! Thanks Mechanickal - you're the dude! :salute:So awesome to see that saw in it's second life at the other side of the channel!
The woodsaw fits in beautifully - it replaces the can opener in my set up and the plieres flick in and out without obstruction.
Once I was happy with the set up I borrowed some nail varnish (vegan apparently) to firm the threads up. That was several days ago and it's holding up well.
I wasn't keen on the nylon sheath so the '400 sits sweetly in a leather Spirit sheath on my belt.
Nick, I cut down a mini tree in your honour. It only took me 45 minutes. :salute: The remains shall henceforth be known forever as 'Nick's Stump'.I hope you didn't cut it down to small :dwts:

:D I actually removed the pocket clip from the 400. It's getting itself quite comfy in a leatherman sheath.. :facepalm:
Oh, mine sleeps in the nylon 4in sheath. It's seasoned enough to fit a MT in the elastic slot.. So this sheath usually houses two.Nice! I have a Crunch sheath that fits well, and a shorter one that I have cut an opening in for the ends of the pliers to sit in. This will do until I try your 'rail extension' project. I may need a 3rd 400 to experiment so I don't ruin either of my favourite ever MT's :D
Decided to put back the clip.. Did some work on the clip, flattened it a little more, dull it to a matt finish to match the frame.. :cheers:

I've been contemplating taking apart my Franken600 to put the file into my BO MP400. I don't get that much use out of the blade, really. But then I'd be annoyed by that one being incomplete. Maybe it's time to hunt down another abused one for parts.
This is weird for me, have had this MP400 for several months and primarily use the pliers.
Today needed a knife, and had a issue deploying the blade.
Is my unit assembled wrong?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/37e988b8da032c1b85d45248a4908855.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/167cda4a41fba08192a1648e33b8de01.jpg)
The blade’s nail notch is on the inside and I must open the Phillips and the screw driver to access.

Thank you for the info!
I checked the net and examined a few pictures finding many as mine and a few with a thru cut out notch (sport), that does not cause an issue.
I may get the dremmel tool and try cutting my own notch. My big digits just cannot get a grip on the blade.
Fortunately my Rebar was in my bag and able to make the switch.

I will open the one on the right. Simply because I like the logo on the left alot. I have not see one with that logo though... 🤔
Thanks Mags... :cheers:Neat isn't it? jaws open wider than the Spirit too!
quite surprised how this MP400 is much smaller than the pics I see... so far am liking it... Now thinking about getting an SS version and doing a handle swap... :facepalm:
Yeah, just smaller... in size... hmmm... an mp425 or something similar to your mod Mags might be a good idea....Bladeless? you won't regret it. But if you do you can just swap it back :D

They are probably still new. Keep it going bro. On a side note.. It seems like there's alot of 450 coming up on ebay recently..

Yeah, they were $9 at walmart
they had some crazy clearance deals a few weeks ago, but it wasn't in every store, only 1 of 5 near me had the clearance items so its probably too late to go looking for it. I've always liked this model but I had to sell my 400 a few years ago, glad to get it back even if its slightly different with the file instead of scissors

Cheers Gareth. The larger saw is from a Diesel and the shorter one is from a Suspension (I think :think: )

Ok here goes....... hiraethus, we've only met once and that meeting was mostly spent throwing axes and comparing tools, but I'm sure that you and your dremel and bench grinder are the one for me.

Yaaaaaay! Glad the 'Tough Guy' arrived :cheers: :woohoo:
In modern Greek language, mangas has become a synonym for "swash guy, swagger" or (in dialogue) simply "dude"; depending on context it may have more negative ("bully, henchman, hooligan") or more positive ("brave, crafty man") connotations.
But what if rust is the only thing keeping it together?? :ahhh
I did think mags has been looking pale-ish blue lately...We are on our 5th week of a little experiment I like to call 'Doing without all the oxygen'. It's going well so zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
And very unclear with words too.
Our top U Boat scientists are attempting to develop an army of nanobot rust digesters that don't turn on their masters once the rust has all been eaten. We have the kind that do turn on us, but luckily we can keep them in rust for the next 5 years or so.
Nice to see firiki and HappyDuck in a good mood. :tu:

Your chief alchemists might need glorious amounts of pure 24K gold to make the reaction work -and a few pinches of unobtainius firmus officinalis. Can't be more precise, that would be no fun, sorry (not).
HappyDuck is on a permanent natural high, I'm afraid, that gives him a constant cheerful disposition. It's a bit irritating at times but also makes HappyDuck a great camarade.
Ooooh, I almost forgot:

Bladeless MP400 and FarmerExcellent MP400 centered carry, mags!
What happened with the saw, mags? Sorry I've missed the story. :ahhhThe saw is from a Diesel (I think) and the tang needs filing to fit snugly. Just can't be arsed at the moment :D
Did a quick job of swapping handles... as in immediately after the stainless one arrived...Ah very nice! :like:

MP400 after a hard day of work(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191009/1a05e298410278e7e3cbc72ff9201595.jpg)Nice to kick back isn’t it! :cheers:
Quick question before I order my first MP400 and join this club: Is it possible to mod the saw holder from the MP600 into the 400‘s frame, and have the holder + attached saw fold into the handle? Or is there not enough space in the handle? :cheers:
Darn it, was afraid of that :-[ Thank you for checking, Gareth! :hatsoff:
Not sure if I should get one now. Without the saw holder it is only half the fun. Are the scissors in any way better than the ones of the 600’s?
My old knifeless 400 mod. No saw holder sadly but I crammed in everything else. :DAwesome mod Garreth!

Awesome mod! I would replace the lanyard ring with the saw holder, and it would be perfect for me! :tu: :like:
Oh I see, this is the thin lanyard ring, right? So the saw holder would not fit in its place. Guess I need to rearrange things again :think:
Over the last couple weeks i received the donors for the bladeless MP400 project, and today I finally got around to do it. Here is the result:
(http://www.justbenphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3993010233-4.jpg)
The saw holder would fit with blade attached, but only in two spots. The MP400 has only two slots for the longer tools. Even though there are technically four, only two of them are wide enough to accommodate the long tools. Even the blade is too thick to fit on the other side, the pliers won’t slide in nicely anymore.
So with that in mind, i could only fit two of three tools i wanted in: File, Scissors and Saw Holder. Because of that i decided not to place the saw holder in one of those two slots, but on the opposite side. It is no longer possible to have the saw blade inside the tool when closed, but since there is plenty of space in the sheath it is not a big deal for me.
I also removed the bottle opener, because i don’t need it.
:cheers:
Nice find Chako, looks quite new! :tu: :like:
Sir, to the best of my knowledge, the only difference is that it has the "T3" logo laser etched on its side BUT, been available mostly black oxide (but not limited, as there is also a "T3" 700) as promo to the Terminator movie, it is quite unusual, and even more so as Chako's is silver. Lets hope someone more knowledgeable chimes in soon!
Been using my bladeless 400 for the past few months at work - Absolutely love it, and it's come in handy countless times.

Hi mags, good to see you :cheers:
Indeed. Good to see you around mate. How's life treating you?Cheers chaps :cheers: it's been a bit of a wild year - splitting up with my wife of 26 years a couple of weeks after moving into a rented house we could only afford on both our wages :facepalm:

In other news my fellow Star Wars fan, I cannot believe how enjoyable the 2nd season of The Mandalorian is. So much win. What say you?
Mandi visits the covert and places a bar of beskar on the table. The Armourer takes the beskar and minutes later presents him with an MP400 (which is later stolen by Grogu :D)Grogu is a smart guy! He knows (or sense through the Force) that a MP-400 will do well in the Sands of Tatooine as it wold do in the mud of Dagobah.
This is the way

I removed the blade, always have a SAK on me anyway. Also removed the bottle opener. Swapped them for the saw holder of the MP600, added a file and turned the large screwdriver into a scraper/package opener. Will take a picture later :salute:

Great pictures hevy; liking a lot your organizers! :drool:All good suggestions Juan - thanks :cheers: I'll see if I can get any to work
Magentus, could it work in your case adding a pocket clip from a mech pencil, or from a pen?
Also, how 'bout an elastic band with a "pocket", where you would put the adapter in and then place the band around the tool?
Or a small magnet in your sheath and attach the adapter to it?
:think: :dunno: :think:

Lisa, here's a picture of Magentu's, https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,72176.msg1880443.html#msg1880443.Instead of opening up a perfectly good MP600, I bought a parts one on eBay, seller accepted $12 plus shipping for it.
You could use the saw blade from an older Suspension or, any tool from a Suspension NXT; better yet, all tools (including file!) from an MP 600 will fit perfectly as they're the same :2tu:

Here are the newest members of my Gerber ("mostly MP's") collection; the silvery one came in today, and this is how it looks after cleaning, light sharpening (as it still has the factory grind marks!), and lubing.
:multi: :like:
Nice ones Juan! :hatsoff:
Gerber sent a replacement MP400 for the broken bladed one I have.
I noticed the new one has a different logo and the blade no longer has the see-through nail nick.
That was great warranty service from Gerber FB! :cheers:Couldn't be happier with their customer service. :woohoo:
Quick question, which tool do I use to unscrew these?
Thank you Vicman! :cheers:
Thanks Vicman! I was looking for just that :D
Although I have the Gerber tool ordered, I couldn't wait, so with the help of a Vice Grip the Leatherman Crunch, I have the broken blade out and the file from an MP600 in the MP400!
I will need the Gerber tool to tighten the fittings though as it is hard to get a good grip on them.
Thank you Barry and Vicman! :cheers:
I love the collection you're building up :D

Looks really good and very practical; a "Compact Bladeless"! Kudos on such an excellent work.
Juan, I have these, but can't get them to work.
The special tool is going to arrive tomorrow, so hopefully it will work.
The 4-lobe tools arrived today from eBay, the ones Vicman pointed out.
I have to say that they worked perfectly! It's hard to believe that those 4 little nubs on that tool are so effective.
Not sure how long the tool will last, but for a first attempt it was flawless.

I'm really surprised. It seemed popular and a good seller.
:) i suppose it could be a blade swap. But, it doesn’t ever appear to be used so more likely a factory install IMO.
