I don't really do mods, just repairs and restorations really.

I do have this modded Charge done by fellow member Gav. In his own words:

Quote

the handle scales are from a cabelas camo charge tti,the four hex screws are from a standard tti,silver in colour of course,and the rest of it,blades,saw,file scissors,carriage or body of the tool,drivers etc,etc,are from a 25th silver charge,all mirror polished

It is rather lovely

Wow, that one certainly has a fine pedigree Dave!

The polished pliers and blades from the 25th Ann model are quite striking.

Wasn't there someone here (maybe Gav?) who put them in a Charge with black scales as well?

DaveK · **Reply #36 on:** March 25, 2010, 02:44:57 AM

I don't recall......

Sounds nice though!

This is not exactly a mod as is a Multi built from ground up and its far form finished but i just wanted to give you a little sneak peak on what im doing at the moment:

The Multitool uses a "Knipex Mini Plier"-head and aluminium handles with integrated pocketclip. A t-Shank holder and a knive will be future additions.
Overall lenght is 6,5cm in closed position and it will weight about 70g (with t-shank holder and OHO-Knive).

Gareth · **Reply #40 on:** April 10, 2010, 06:51:07 PM

Very interesting Shorty, keep us up to date.

those handles made from a single piece of aluminum? thats pretty impressive!

I'm looking forward to the updates mate

They are made from a U-Profile. The pocketclip is just bent over. Pretty easy

Neil · **Reply #46 on:** April 11, 2010, 01:50:13 PM

I guessed that but wasn't going to let out your trade secret

Looks fun, keep us posted with how it progresses

ryan1835 · **Reply #47 on:** April 11, 2010, 03:16:53 PM

Some new Pictures of what im working on:

Sadly i dont got the tools to manufacture that myself...

Shorty66 · **Reply #51 on:** April 16, 2010, 09:45:12 PM

And here comes the innovative part: The tiniest t-shank holder i could think of.

Here the whole thing with Blade. The Blade is the reason for the oddly formed handles.

Last picture for now:

Impressive mate

J-sews · **Reply #53 on:** April 17, 2010, 03:32:31 AM

Interesting concept you've got going there

Question: on the t-shank holder, what provides the tension to hold the t-shank in place?

ryan1835 · **Reply #54 on:** April 17, 2010, 10:24:04 AM

looks like your hand :S

As ryan pointed out your hand does. And it works! I made a prototype of the holder of the same aluminium u-profile i used for the small multi i am currently making.

ryan1835 · **Reply #58 on:** April 19, 2010, 12:15:12 AM

maybe you could incorporate some kind of lock to be on the safe side?

i have an idea for you but lack paint

ill try and show you what i mean tomorrow

Shorty66 · **Reply #59 on:** April 19, 2010, 10:31:05 AM

i dont think a lock is needed on the t-shank holder.
My modded skeletool bitholder holds t-shank blades without any locking mechanism (as i borke the spring on the holder moths ago) just by hand pressure and it works well.
The holder on this tool is essentially the same and works well, too.
