Here are three more DIY accessories/hacks for anyone interested:

top- the ubiquitous bit driver mod
middle- Wave/Charge/Surge/ST 300M/any-modded-tool-with -large-bit-driver removable corkscrew
Bottom- Wave/Charge removable blade exchanger

Caveat- none are my original designs; just tweaked and made them to my liking. :multi:

I have seen a few of those designs around here before :whistle: ;) but that doesn't mean I don't love to see them again :woohoo: :like: :like: :like:

I don't believe I have ever seen the blade change that fits into the clip slot on a Wave/Charge though :o :drool: :like:

Poncho, I'm sure you're not talking of the corkscrew, metal blade, bit driver, long shanked driver or mini awl, do you!?!?! :whistle: :rofl: :whistle: :rofl: :whistle: :rofl: :whistle: :rofl: :whistle: :rofl: :tu:   :cheers:

All I can say is that because of a smurfin' picture of the bit driver mod, and the long shanked drivers I've gotten hold of 9 Leathermans (Leathermen!?!), 9 Gerber MT's and 3 knives, 3 C&C MT's, 2 Victorinox SAK's, a whole buncha sheaths, and even modded tools to mod tools ... and became a member of the most universal, closed knit community on the web; thank you people, past present, and remembered ones for such a humbling experience (it's unbelieveable that there's a world-wide membership here!!!)

And to think that I was OK with my Spartan, PST II, and my C&C modded SAK clone!!! :facepalm:

Thank you again, for all your enabling and mods, people! Please be safe, I need you all!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks Poncho!  :hatsoff: :cheers:

Most definitely agree on the pencil use. I'd go so far as to say maybe one-time deals; my examples are #2/HB  leads that are easily "consumed", and I will not bother trying to resharpen a stubbed stub (well, maybe on an emergency like, forgot birthday/anniversary card  :facepalm: :rofl: :facepalm: :rofl:)!

But useful indeed. :2tu:

Very well done, love that awl!

 :tu: :tu:

Here's another idea: get a pen from a 58mm SAK. Slice open lengthwise that small pencil, remove the graphite and replace with the pen. Glue the wood together and try it out. *

Take pics and let us know if it worked.

 :pok: :pok:

* you can use a cheap plastic refill, from a BIC or similar and cut it down to size.

 :think: or ... encapsulate the refill with 2-part epoxy after light coat of silicone grease (as a release agent), allow to dry and file/sand/grind to desired shape and presto! Leatherpen is born!! Thanks pfr!!! :tu: :cheers:

You can use one of the bits to create a mold for the epoxy.

Remember to punch a little hole in the back of the epoxy, to let the air in and allow for the ink to run.

I have a spare refill pen for a 58mm SAK.
I can do some measurements to see if it would fit lengthwise  :salute:

Here you go  :salute:

LM standard bit protrudes: 1.5 cm / 0.6 inch
58mm Vic. pen refill protrudes: 3.2 cm / 1.26 inch

There's a bit more space inside the handle, but not another 1.6 cm.
And the pen would not be able to pass beside the pliers support knob thingy either  :dunno:

Maybe shortening a regular ink pen filament is an idea. The cheaper plastic ones for example  :pok:

I believe the Victorinox inserts are pressurised, there isn't a hole in them at least so there should be no need for airflow.
