Amici,
Has anyone else experienced with their PS4 that the Key Ring Attachment keeps falling out of the handle? It gets to the point that it engages with the slightest movement of the tool.

Cheers,
Serge

As of last week I too am a member. Happy owner of a blue torx head PS4.

Is there by any chance a factory Black Oxide Squirt? That would be awesome.

mzil · **Reply #35 on:** October 22, 2010, 04:33:47 PM

There's black, mine pictured here http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,23343.0.html, for example, but there is no black oxide PS4.

Besides being stealth, I like that when (notice I didn't say "if") the scales get scratched (which is inevitable in keychain carry at least) one can easily patch the mark by an application of black Sharpie pen. Only upon very close examination would one actually see the repair job. The repair itself will also eventually flake off but this may take months or even years and when it does happen simply reapply more Sharpie!

I want one. How do I make sure it has torx?

mzil · **Reply #37 on:** October 23, 2010, 12:20:48 AM

^PS4's made after July of this year converted to rivets "for a smoother fit in the pocket" according to LM. The only way to get a new PS4 with the older Torx threaded design would be if one can find a dealer that bought a huge quantity before the conversion and is still selling through those or to buy a used one that was manufactured prior to July. Be careful, LM uses the same old picture in their literature and on the outside of the blister packed boxes of the older design even though what's inside has rivots. They never bothered to change the picture because for 99% of average Joe buyers they'll never know or care about this, what they deem, "subtle change". Good luck.

That sounds like absolute nonsense to me, but I would gladly be educated as to how it could have a "smoother fit in the pocket" when the tool is usually attached to a key-chain

Anyway, I've gone and done some damage to mine. Take a look

I (foolishly) tried using it to cut some cable ties behind a server rack

Now the scissors are next to useless (they won't even close properly without 'catching')

How can I fix them? Or can I send them in for a repair under warranty?

Andreas · **Reply #39 on:** October 23, 2010, 06:55:53 PM

Warranty will cover it

That right there is why I have spare scissors lying around just in case...

Thank you!

I wonder if they'll send me the scissors without me sending in my PS4? I'm going to miss it terribly if it leaves my key-chain. Although I guess its Victorinox Climber predecessor will be glad to see some action again!

Andreas · **Reply #41 on:** October 23, 2010, 08:17:18 PM

No, you have to send it in and wait a month or so. If thats too long you can buy a Style online, that has the scissors...

Gusti Parang · **Reply #42 on:** October 23, 2010, 08:19:35 PM

Talk about instant reply! OK got it, thanks a lot for the help!

I'll contact my local distributor, wonder how it works over here...

Who's selling them in a brick and mortar store? I couldn't find one in Target today. Walmart? Bass Pro Shop? That's where I got my Gerber.

I figure, if I can see it I can tell if it has rivets or not.

My REI has them.

REI has PS4s; what they don't have is ones with Torx threaded screws, at least not the one near me that is.

Very nice Andreas. The positive click it makes when you open it must make you feel good each time you hear it, especially knowing you probably have the only PS4 on the planet that does so! Good job.

Andreas · **Reply #48 on:** October 28, 2010, 10:56:51 PM

Indeed it is. In reality it's a very easy mod. It only took me a couple of hours because I was doing it in a normal room and had to shield for depbres etc and didn't have the proper tools.
