Swisstool Spirit question

[bj_key2003]

I would like to know if there is anyone here that would be willing to attach a pocket clip to my swisstool spirit. I would pay shipping both ways and send the leatherman clip with the tool. I'd also like to know what someone might charge for such a service.

Thanks for your answers in advance.

You may want to have a look at the Eclipse and ClipDraw, both of which are tested and perform quite well. The only case of a built-in clip I know of is Bob's mod (see here), which -- although much cleaner in looks -- is a quite tedious experiment.

Yah the clip draw is a nice option and non destructive.

I STILL don't know how bob managed to get that tiny hole threaded in that pivot

Here's my clip draw

Thank you guys so much! I'll definitely look into that!

Im making a clip for the spirit I took apart and swapped the rivet for a pivot and screws.  Like many other projects Im planning, I havent gotten around to it yet though.

I would love to do this if i had a second spirit. Wish i never sold the extras.

Hey Syph, sorry if I've asked this before. Did you find pivots that fit the Spirit as-is or did you have to tamper with the implements/scales (e.g., widen the holes etc.)?

They are 4mm rivets in the swisstools, so I drilled them out to fit a 3/16 pivot.  No problems really as there is plenty of metal to retain strength, but it does mean each tool is drilled and polished.  Im trying to make a Ti pocket clip for it, with a hole somewhere near the top to also double as a lanyard point.  So far I cut a strip of Ti, and then thats as far as I got.  Maybe over the holidays I'll get to finish.

Whats the purpose of the long piece of metal that the clip is attached to?.

It's to stabilize it, the clip is very stiff.
