Has anyone put a different pocket clip on the Skeletool?

[Henry Fitch]

Long-time lurker first-time poster etc. Hello!

I love my Skeletool but the super-skinny pocket clip gets me down. I feel it has way too much tendency to "flip" in the pocket, doesn't have a great grip in general, and it also has a history of spearing into fabric chair upholstery and the like and causing damage.

Much better would be a sturdy wide clip like that on my second-most-carried tool, the Gerber EAB Lite, or really like the clip on any other Leatherman. I tried just screwing on a cheap three-hole clip from a cheap pocketknife and it kind of worked, but without the bit that sticks out and fits into the tool body it was able to rotate no matter how tightly I screwed the bolt in. Looks pretty silly too. Has anyone found a way to attach an alternate clip and make it secure?

No Skeletool here sorry mate. Others should be able to help though. Nice to have you posting.

Welcome!

I'm not sure of anyone who has swapped one but I don't think it would be very hard whatsoever..

The biggest problem I see is when you create a clip wider than the handle is you create a peice that will stick out where your hand sits in plier use.

Kinda hard to word......but my skeletool is apart right now for Damascus blade Swap(s).

Welcome!

Not sure that can be done. Once you open up skeletool into pliers mode you will notice there is very little room there for a wider clip.

I carry skeletool often and have not experience the issues you had with the clip.

Actually yes someone has. Evil did it here although it's very different.
