Style CS and Wave bit holder

[BePrepared]

I broke the 'backspring' on my Style CS --- the folded over piece of metal that acts as a backspring for the blade.  It was my fault messing with Style, seeing how I could mod it, so no LM warranty exchange for me.

But, I decide to explore more and had an idea....  I took off the side with a dremel and fitted the Wave bit holder.  I had already used a slightly longer pivot on that side, so there was just enough to take the bit holder.  But of course, the wave pivot holes are larger than the Style/Juice range.  So I padded the space in the bit holder (I used some strips from a tin can).

Swapped the scissors for the pliers and added a file.  Also put a flat blade into the other Style.

Those look great! How are they holding up in everyday tasks?

Very cool I really love the idea of a bit holder on anything like that

I used the Style (scissors tool) with the Juice phillips recently, to loosen a VGA computer monitor cable at work, and that worked very well.

I've not used the Style with the bit adaptor for real (except to test on stuff at home).  The adaptor is a bit loose on the pivot --- but if I twist on the screw head and washer I can make it tight so when it goes to open position it is held tightly in place.  I thought this looseness was a problem, but maybe it is a feature? 

I've made a selection to bits to carry, along with my usual EDC: RovyRon  A8 flashlight; Kershaw PT-2; the pliers based Style with bit holder; Leatherman flat bit set; Kaweco fountain pen.  I'll post follow-up as and when it gets used!   



PS: my other pocket will usually have a scissors based tool, like the style or a (bladeless) SAK Pioneer



The flashlight, pry bar, Style, and pen are in the black pouch.  The paracord band holds some Uncle Bill's tweezers, saftey pin, and paper clip.  The other object hanging out at the top is a USB cable for charging my phone.  I carry this everyday (previously the re was a Squrt instead of the Style).

Yep, it's all bladeless.
