A LM Minitool inspired by Sam Lim
on: February 15, 2023, 09:55:47 PM
Hello again,

Some context:
I was scrolling around the forum and I stumble upon Sam Lim's version of the Minitool. He made it with a broken Wave he had lying around and when I showed it to my wife, she felt in love with it, so I knew I had to make one for her. I didn't have a broken Wave myself but I had a lot of Chinese multitools leftovers from previous projects so I knew it was feasible, plus it was cheaper to do (win win :whistle:).

(I'm not very familiar with forums and their mechanics so if anyone can tag Sam I'll be very thankful, + I can't find the post anymore so if someone has it in his bookmark you can put it here too)

The name: the Cicada
The tool:
the handle/pliers head/ the 2 blades: Bibury 18 in 1 https://www.amazon.fr/Multifonctions-Multitools-Inoxydable-Multifonction-R%C3%A9paration/dp/B095LVRVMZ?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1
scissors: Bibury 10 in 1 https://www.amazon.fr/Bibury-multifonction-porte-cl%C3%A9s-coupe-corde-verrouillage/dp/B082HMYL26/ref=sr_1_19?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=MSM6EU1MKC5O&keywords=bibury&qid=1676493207&sprefix=bibury+%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-19
Bit driver: Gerber Armbar slim https://www.amazon.fr/Gerber-Armbar-Drive-Onyx-Multifonctions-Taille/dp/B07VZFDBQG/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=1NTCRATICKNSD&keywords=armbar+slim&qid=1676493261&sprefix=armbar+slim%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-2 (It was the 1st one I used on my Wave mod but I grinded it way too much so it was unusable :facepalm:)

The rest is just a matter of cutting, grinding, fitting, grinding again and manualy polishing it with sandpaper. The most difficult part was to transform the serrated blade into a package opener while maintaining a good symmetry between the 2 blades.

I hope you'll like it, I know my wife does  :woohoo:
