Here are the newest members of my Gerber ("mostly MP's") collection; the silvery one came in today, and this is how it looks after cleaning, light sharpening (as it still has the factory grind marks!), and lubing.

Nice ones Juan!  :hatsoff:

Gerber sent a replacement MP400 for the broken bladed one I have. 
I noticed the new one has a different logo and the blade no longer has the see-through nail nick.

Although I have the Gerber tool ordered, I couldn't wait, so with the help of a Vice Grip the Leatherman Crunch, I have the broken blade out and the file from an MP600 in the MP400!
I will need the Gerber tool to tighten the fittings though as it is hard to get a good grip on them.

Good job on the repair to your MP400. It is always great to put one back in action.

Looks really good and very practical; a "Compact Bladeless"! Kudos on such an excellent work.

In the meantime, have you perhaps tried snap ring pliers? Something like this
 
Or, if you or someone near you are crafty, cobble up something like I did from a 10mm flat bit drive

Did you ordered the long wrench; would you mind posting a review of it once it arrives and you use it? TIA.

Juan, I have these, but can't get them to work.
The special tool is going to arrive tomorrow, so hopefully it will work.

Too bad it did not worked ( as of personal experience, 'cause I'm really impatient) but, glad the spanner will be in tomorrow! (And happy 'modding, as I find the MP series the easiest, most fun to work/mod chassis fdom any multitool!)
