parts switching

[Rich S]

Can the hook and corkscrew on the compact be switched off to mount a
Vic awl/reamer and phillips head screwdriver on the back side? I like the size
of the Compact, but have no need for either the hook or corkscrew. How difficult
would such a switch be to accomplish? Any idea who might carry the parts needed:
awl and phillips? 
Thanks
Rich

The phillips-corkscrew switch is an easy one, but the hook and the awl have a different thickness, so that might be harder. (the opener layer, under which the awl belongs, is thinner than the scissors layer, with the hook)

Ya the phillips/corkscrew is easy.

For the hook, nothing can fit there.  Not do to the thickness difference but the annoying shape the hook pivot is.  Its different than ALL the normal back tools like awl, fine driver, chisel etc... Basically its an oddball cshape so we're out of luck.

The only thing that fits there is the LNF, which rare and expensive.

Best you be leaving that hook right where it is ya scurvy dog.
