Diamond file in Leatherman Bond

Figured I would put this mod in this sub forum as well
It is in the Leatherman Bond Owners Club but this was an easy mod overall and I wanted to share it here as well
I actually tried scissors (from Wave/Charge/Blast/Fuse) and diamond file (from a PST II for those taking notes) in the Bond but after taking the lanyard out and adding the scissors I found it to bind the tool a bit and didn't make a great experience for me
I may try to reorder the tools a bit later and see if I can get it to work more to my liking but for now just the file is staying
After getting it apart I compared the 2 files to see what I had to take off with a Dremel
you can barely see it but the diamond file is under the Bond file
The 2 side by side
Surprisingly I only had to cut a tiny bit off at the locking notch because the bigger cut out that is close to the pivot is only there because the Rebars locking tabs are in its way
The Bond has no such thing in the way and the file fit fairly well after just a tiny bit off the locking notch
After getting it in though I noticed that the fingernail pull is on the wrong side
so I added one to the other side
A bit of refinement in the locking notch and perhaps a little more time on the nail pull would make this much better but I will save that for another day because it works as is and I will perhaps try the refinements if I take it back apart for scissors in the future

Very nice. That didn’t take long to start modding. Hopefully you find a way of doing the scissors that you like.

Hey Poncho, slightly off topic, but do you have any idea where to source washers for these tools? Or do you just use ones harvested from other Leathermans?

Sorry for the late reply
I forgot I made a separate thread here
I just use one's I have accumulated over the years from mods that didn't need them.back in after a mod
I don't know of any sources for those thin washers either, sorry

No problem, turns out my local hardware store actually carries them, in brass nonetheless haha! The selection of that store for its size baffles me sometimes.
