charge lanyard ring - silly?

[danilo]

Hi all,
so I have this Charge TTi I've bought less than a month ago, and after a few days I've attached a paracord lanyard to its fixed lanyard ring (the hidden one) to discover quickly after that it interferes with the scissors... 

now, are there any ring or something to attach to it and to which attach the paracord? how do you people use it? - it appears it has bended the ring a bit in less than a month already, today I took off the lanyard, but I've become a lanyard addicted staying here, and now I miss it so much!

Thanks in advance for any advice

You can get one of the detachable ones. There are easy to take off and on.

hi ducttapetech,
I have it already as it came in kit with the charge, but I have the clip in its place, and I'm not replacing it as it's one of the best feature of the tool for me.

but thanks for the headup anyway

Have you modded much? What if you added a hole to the pocket clip?

It would definetly require a drill press and some penetrating oil for a good clean cut.

Also, I know everyone has preferences, but why do you have to keep the picket clip if you lanyard carry?

Or maybe you could switch to a lanyard ring and a suspension Clip AND lanyard hanging off of it?

[danilo]

well I don't carry it with the lanyard, I use it to pull the tool out from the pocket, where it's secured by the clip.
Am I the only one doing that?

the thing is that it is quite handy this way, it would need some flat "ring" to attach the lanyard to the tool ring, I thought someone else had come to a similar solution here already and could help me with links or pictures...

I think the detachable lanyard ring that Leatherman has will suit your needs. 

[danilo]

actually, as I said, no

but thank for your time anyway!

This.


It gives you a second attachment option for the removable lanyard ring.

Or you could simply attach the lanyard to the top of the pocket clip.

Yes, both men had good ideas, I was going to say the same.
Four ways to attach lanyard on Wave/Charge.
1. Hidden lanyard ring
2. detachable lanyard ring
3. Attach lanyard on clip
4. Remove hidden lanyard ring and attach lanyard on pivot post.

I don't like lanyard and Wave/Charge's deep carry clip sometime lead the tool stuck, so what I do is grab the tool outside of pocket ; give it a little push upward then pull it out. That works for me.

The simplest thing to do so far would be to just tie the lanyard to the top of the clip? Plus when you pull the lanyard it should pull it straight out of your pocket

[danilo]

OK,
thank you all for the suggestions!

I hadn't thought about replacing the fixed ring with the removable one (although it will present the same problem, except you can detach it to deploy the tool next to it, either the scissors or the bit holder).

Since the charge is quite new, I'm not into modding it as of yet, so I'll try some other ways before removing the fixed ring, or drilling the clip (this one would be a soft mod, as the clip is easily replaceable, but I see there isn't much space in there anyway...)

Anyway I was thinking that maybe some flat paracords, which I've seen in some videos, maybe they'll fit in there without mods? Has anyone tried them out?

I'm with the other guys! Remove the fixed lanyard ring, that's what I did with my wave and it works great. What this does is allow you to attach the pocket clip on either side so you can have your preferred blade ready for quick deployment straight out of the pocket, if you know what I mean. Using the standard pocket clip location in a right pocket it lends towards the plain edge blade being first preference, without flipping the tool over. Removing the fixed lanyard ring allows you to put your pocket clip there so the serrated blade is first preference out of the pocket for an emergency situation, eg. cutting your way out of a seatbelt in a flipped car leaking petrol onto you... Anybody else done this??

Well from what i tried gutted paracord doesn't work quite well.
I also have a quite new charge that im not afraid to mod because it is just taking a simple piece off.
I recommend storing the lanyard ring that you don't use  where you'd put the clip or ring when not in use

oh! you just made me realize I can unscrew the handle and remove the ring without cutting out anything.
I'm in for a reversible mod like that !
And thanks for the tip on how to not lose the small part


ok, so in the end I now need two t10s, I knew I was ending up buying something, I just needed to focus on _what_

Unless they changed them like with the Surge you'll only need one t10 as the post is keyed and does not rotate.
The screw is on the pocket clip and lanyard sides of the handle. Heat the screw to break the loctite. Hope that helps.

[Kampfer]

You will need T-10 security bit. not the normal ones.

thanks for the info, but how can I heat it up? with just a cigarette lighter?

Yup, the bottom, inside tools pivot pin is D shaped so one screwdriver should be enough. I'm just not sure which side is the actual screw.

If you ever decide you need to tighten or unscrew the plier pivots, then you'll need two screwdrivers.

[danilo]

ah the other side  isn't d-shaped, nice to know.

but I also understand tightening the pliers end screws doesn't make the plier head tighter, I can't remember the thread I l've read it in, but someone said it just acts on the external tools tension (blades, file and saw)

nice to know anyway,  thanks

[enki_ck]

Correct.

[Kampfer]

A 15mm split ring will do the trick:
Simply slide it on clip, once clip in place the split ring won't fall out.
Tool can be pull out quickly with index finger.
The ring is small enough not to interfere the usage of any implement.

lol,
it is also a nice idea, and one can attach the lanyard to the ring and fix my problem as well, I'll try it out!

I am not a fan of lanyards, but do what you gotta do.
