  ZapWizard's 'Open Face' sheath. Hoping he will make a semi-armored or fully armored sheath for more tool security. This tool in this released probably cannot be replaced.
  Volty Switch came in yesterday. Put it where the 7.11L ratchet would go as it offers the Volty more protection.
  Having a time getting bits into the sheath slots, lot of grip going on back there! Even the ratchet does not fully seat; it goes in 10mm but the last 4mm it refuses to budge.

  By chance, does anyone have friends or contacts that can answer if the #ZapWizard Arc Full or Partially Armored Cases are compatible with the Garage #5?? Have asked the creator a few times with a response that he was planning on making a fully armored case for the Garage #5.\

  Am a large fellow and have found the Garage #5 loose in the sheath, and slid up. Luckily have not lost it - yet. Do wish the sheath employed a "pliers down" approach, so the weight of the pliers could help keep the tool pressed down into the case better, which would mean the locking mechanism would have to be on the upper end and probably would not slide-lock into place the way the creator intends.

  May have to find a small innner-tube and put that across the top for now until Mr ZapWizard gets around to the the fully armored case.

  Seen this post today of a so-called Damascus Leatherman Cutters that are from that Ali-Express outfit for $16, or $23 from Ebay. Looks like they could be a layered steel version material.

  Ali-Express or Ebay


  Edit:  Chose to order a set from Ebay. ETA is the end of this month..

  A small envelope arrived today from California. Was a repackaged form of the Damascus Cutters for Leatherman Tools. Took a few photos this evening, and cut some bailing wire on both areas of the cutters without any issues. There are no gaps between the cutters. The pattern looks quite handsome on the Garage #5, and I put the original cutters back on the Rebar pliers.

  Could probably get better photos outdoors except we are supposed to be getting hammered by a major snow storm this weekend. Maybe if I can find time I will sneak out for better photos. The pattern looks legitimate. Showing along side the Rebar cutters that were installed.

 

 

 

 

  May have to order a few more of these Damascus Cutters from Ebay for the other tools, as I am not at all pleased with Leatherman's current cost-cutting cutters rounded-end format.

  Used Gorilla razor to fix an issue I have been having with ZapWizard’s ‘open face’ Garage 5 sheath. Two layers to make a thin strap on the upper end to hold the multitool in place.

  So far this has been working okay out. Am sure ZapWizard has been too busy making money with the Arc  lineup to mess with the  Garage 5

  Wished I could edit or remove the huge photo above. My apologies for this. Was multitasking in the dunny late last night and I had no resizer app on the iPhone.
  Usually I do all the editing and posting from the computer, using an older copy of Zoner Studios to crop and edit the size of the photos to near 640x480. The resizer I found so late was not easy to read, and... well... that happened.

  Anyone have a recommended resizer tool they use on their iPhone that they could recommend?

  Reached out to Zap Wizard asking if there was a way to make a plate to slide on or snap on, even to attach by JB Weld to save him the trouble of making a new armored holster for the Garage #5. That open is not available for the 'open face' holster, and the Gorilla taped idea does help but does not keep the tool from being slid out of the holster -- something that probably only happens to those of larger girth sizes ... as we rub on everything.

  What the Gorilla tape does it help catch the tool when it slides out an inch or so.

I'll remember those cutters. I have an Arc, haven't had an issue yet but am aware of the issue and keeping an eye on them.

Thanks.

  Problem is not having a camera at the ready when you're performing tasks. Wonder if there is a headband camera that can activate with voice commands?

  Was tracing a rather long USB cable, unraveling it, and sliding it under zip ties and velcro straps on the recumbent trike today. Had the Garage 5 on me, and found the awl came in quite handy. Was able to slide it under ties without fear of breaking or cutting into air, electrical, or cable housings. Was just the right size. And with a small twist was able to get the cutting edge on the zip tie, and with a gentle press the cable tie was cut. Sure glad I did not have the Arc's awl, otherwise would of had to gone back inside for a Victorinox Spirit Awl.

  Have to acquire a longer USB-C charging cable to replace the Lightning charging cable. iPhone 15 Pro uses USB-C and I cage-clamp the phone on a handlebar mount, routed along the outrigger, across the beam, under the seat, up the seat post, and into a bag I carry a 3 port battery to keep things charged up.

  Only drawback is the Lightning cable made for an excellent tether. The cord fit it deep in a phone, and if the phone did come out of the cage the lightning charging cable gave extra security. Had this happen a few times, not often, but I was glad for it. USB-C does not hold in as well as what the Lightning cords do.


  On another good note, the Garage 5 / 40th Anniversary multitool did not slide out of the Zap Wizard's case when riding the roads today. That extra band I added is really helping to keep the tool in the sheath.

  The awl has been quite awlsome with recumbent trike maintenance. Even had to open a USB-C rubber port that was really stuck in its case. The newer type of awl was the cat's meow. Got the task done, and have been sliding the awl in between wires and hoses to snip a wire tie nice and clean.

  Yesterday was making a quarter sized slot in a small canning car to hold change for laundry trips. Used the can opener to pop the slot in and widen the area some.

  Also used the file to file down a welded area on an aluminum handlebar so the e-assist computer bracket would set better. Need to find a rod to go down the inside to make for better support and lengthen the attachment area. No photos yet.

Screws for #5 do help with Zap Wizard Open-Faced sheath.
Reply #43 on: April 01, 2024, 04:21:38 AM
  My thanks to FolderBeholder on the lead for screws for the Arc. Got them installed on the Garage #5 which are better than ugly holes. Also stops a possible area that could accumulate debris. A plus would be that these small screws give a slight addition to friction on the Zap Wizard open-face sheath.

  Really wished Zap Wizard would get on the ball and make a Fully Armorer Garage #5 case already. He's promised several times in December, across multiple sites & PMs, he was going to have one out in a week. Never happened. Then last two months it was supposedly a custom order, and still nothing. I would not be complaining if my request was a minor issue, but when my multitool slides upwards of 3/4 of an inch, yeah, a bit more serious.

  Do not really want to go back to an ugly leather sheath with less features for better tool security.
 
  Zap Wizard does not seem concerned very much. Guess you need to spend lots of money on his site to get noticed. Would spend more once he gets an updated fully armored sheath on his site, as I would like other goodies he has to offer.

  Am wondering if the File and Saw thumb-hole covers would add more drag on the Zap Wizard sheath?

  Zap Wizard has good working sheaths, and I do not have shelf queens -- I use my tools. Yet there is an issue with mine, or the type. Have created a Gorilla Tape flexible band that is in need of replacement soon. It helps somewhat, not a cure. However, the screws do have a slight pressure against the Shapeways sheath that I am hoping will last a while.


  Garage #005 Open-Faced Sheath found here.

  Temporary remedy for a sliding tool issue. Open-Face Garage #5 tool.

  Only other way I can see for tool security is to add strong magnets on the end of the sheath. JB Weld time maybe?

  Did test this with a hard drive magnet which are 40# semi-curved magnets. And how many of you were tossing hard drives away and did not realize the useful magnets laying inside?

  No pictures since I only have two hands...

  Used Crunch, Spirit, and G#5 converting Rover's Anderson connectors to XT90 & XT60 (battery communications). Swear I need to get a third-hand tool with a magnetic base - if they exist.

  Not used the Awl as an awl yet, yet been using it as a small pry tool/ Even helped to remove a GoPro battery that lost its pull tab. Think my Spirit is jealous of that tool implement. ;)  My buddy is afraid to use the G#5.  :dunno:

  Had a rack failure on the recumbent trike and needed to make some adjustments. Three hose clamps helped save a battery connected to the one side of the Low Rider Rack. Used Gorilla tape to help reinforce what I could, then changed the location of the hose clamps to both ends and the middle. Think it will hold but have a new mount coming in.
  For now though, I needed to clip the extra long hose clamp tails off. Used the Garage #5 with the Damascus Cutter on these stainless steel clamps. Took two initial squeezes on each side to cut them, and they cut quite well. No breaks or chips! These Damascus cutters did the job.

It’s still painful to carry the 005.

  How so? I've liked carrying it, and feels lighter than the Charge TTi I used to carry.

It’s so rare and beautiful, that makes it difficult to carry.

The toolset is incredible, although I replaced the plier head with one that isn’t spring-loaded

  Will admit that the Garage #5 was the most expensive multitool I have purchased. Charge TTi would be its second.
  G#5 looks and feels much better than the lesser Arc model. :D

I carried mine yesterday for a change.

I wish it flipped open like the other Free series tools, but I only take it out when I’m not expecting much use anyway, so it doesn’t really matter.

I wonder if we’ve seen the end of the Garage releases or if there are more to come.

I have wondered the same about the Garage releases :think: they kinda lost some steam by releasing knives instead of MTs :dunno: I would have liked to have seen some different heads on them like they did with the Mr Crunch but I guess that may not happen :-\

Great pic BTW :like: :like:

  Had wondered after that last Garage sale, was it a knife? Forgets. Not been much past different colors of the Skeletool CX bombarding the Inbox.

  Went back to using the Hidden leather holster. Far more secure when riding and whatnot, with the dual snaps. Have to figure out where I hid the belt clip though...  :whistle:

  Do not care for the Garage #5 belt clip, and it does not feel like a sturdy clip, yet it is an extra safeguard. Not sure if there are replacements or 3rd Party clip makers out and about. Would be good to find one that built a lanyard loop (or something) into their clip so as to allow the tool to be clipped onto a belt lanyard.


  Slipped in Kristen Van Patten's Tweezers with the thin neodymium magnets. First slid under the tweezers, then saw a pen/scribe addition that only installs under the scissors, thus moved the tweezers underneath the File instead. Ordered a Pen with Scribe addition a bit ago, and bars for the saw and file.

  Welp, I did find a steel lanyard loop for the Arc that am going to try. Ordered one in Orange as that looked to stand out to me.  :D
