     Sounds like a deal to me.  I intended to post some photos anyway.  And intended to use/carry it.  I didn't know there was a Kick thread, but I will look it up.  Thanks again and Ho, Ho, Ho.  Best wishes.  Gary :2tu:

just don't post any amputated fingers. I did warn you about the blade. >:D

ps i put the link to the kick thread in my post.

ok Rich, if i am selling this kick clip and pivot i need more info on this. First do i need the clip and screw only? or do i need the clip, screw and pivot?
what locks the sidekick clip in, rotation-wise?  The sidekick clip has a pin locator and hexagonal hole for the pivot. The kick clip uses a tab and a chicago screw type outside head, So besides the tab what holds the sideclip clip in place?

I could take my sideclip apart but i'd rather not. EDIT maybe i can't take it apart,  is that screw a pentalobe?

i looked at a torndown one on ebay and to me it appears, that there is nothing to lock the clip in place but the tab and pentalobe hs screw which i do not have in my toolkit. If either of these is true i'm going to use the kick clip instead, it locks the clip in place with the splines on the pivot and the locator which i have no problem notching the crunch frame for. I just want the clip stable.

i'm about ready to put the kick clip and pivot on the bay so that i can pay for a sideclip so best to know before i buy.


If you use the Kick pocket clip, you need to add the Kick pivot as well.  Depending on the tool, you might have to file down the Kick's pivot to fit.  That's why I didn't even try it and just tried the Sideclip pocket clip instead.  I just removed the pivot screw on the Crunch, put the Sideclip clip on, then screwed the Crunch's pivot screw back on.  The Sideclip pocket clip even has a handy lip that helps hold it in place without rotating around freely.   It's almost like it was made for the Crunch.

I don't want to take out my Box-O-Leathermans and shock my wife, so here's a crappy graphic of the Sideclip clip lip that perfectly fits onto the Crunch and prevents it from rotating:

Here's another pic I posted a while back that gives a better look.  This was before I polished the clip too... my inner OCD hated the Sideclip matte clip on the polished Crunch.

Edit: here's a link to my first pic after the mod.  I mention the same things there that I mentioned here.  https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,89079.msg2331372.html#msg2331372

So how does it not rotate counter clockwise?

The locktab prevents it from rotating.

 :iagree:

The part I circled is pretty snug.  I guess it could pop out and circle counterclockwise with enough force, but it would have to be a lot more force than just wearing it in your pocket.  To me, it feels so secure that you would almost have to break it.

so my sideclip is a pentalobe hs, i assume they all are right? did you have a pair of pentalobe drivers to remove it or what did you use?

Yes, it is a pentalobe and the OG Wave and Sideclip both have the same type of fasteners :cheers:

Whoops, I misread that.  For the Sideclip, I just purchased a Sideclip clip from someone that was selling Sideclip parts.  Ditto on what Poncho said  :iagree:

parse wrenches I have, in fact, they might be the exact same parse wrenches as yours. Mine are in the first picture in the thread.

      The Kick arrived yesterday evening.  Better photos (hopefully) to come.  The top of my mailbox has been crushed down by a hooligan with a jack handle, but the shipping box did still fit inside.  It finally stopped raining yesterday, so I should be able to get outside and do things today.  The lovely Leatherman will be in my pocket.  Stay tuned on the LM Kick channel.  Thanks again.  Best wishes.  Gary

Most definitely the Blast doesn't get talked about enough :ahhh I bought a Blast back in 2008 to replace my PST and at the time the price in with the features beat the Wave out for me :o basically the same toolset (few differences here and there) and no OHO or outside tools but it had what I wanted and I carried it for a while before going to an OG Supertool 8) :cheers:

Sideclip clip on the way, $58 oof but cheaper than my $45 sideclip and $20 worth of pentalobe hs bits I guess

What did you use to polish the clip?

This isn't very helpful, but I don't remember which of my polishing compounds I used.  If you don't own any yet, buy yourself a metal polish compound kit.  Those clay-like bars will last you a lifetime.  If that's an overkill for you, try Flitz.  (I'm not sure if Flitz is course enough, but it's cheap and good to have anyway)

I did the buffing the lazy way - with a Dremel and a cotton buffing wheel.
