Latest version of my Wave(Inc;Vic/Surge scissors, full 1/4″ bit driver) updated 8/12

[admin]

G’day all!

Would explain some history on this project, if you read these previous mod threads;

So, here she is currently(scroll down for current version, June ’13), AND see next page for Update to Surge scissors!(Aug. 12th 2013)

• Victorinox SAK scissors
• Re-ground Surge serrated blade.
• Dual Surge blade exchangers.
• Plus straight driver, awl, can opener.
• Scraper/chisel like edge ground in the end of the file.
• Combination Leatherman bit driver/full profile 1/4″ hex bit driver.
• Rebar head.
• Swapped to Surge pivots because of thicker tools.
• Victorinox tweezers slot

The only thing on here from a Wave is the handle frames themselves, and the bit driver, both of which are heavily modded themselves…

Didn’t make the scissors lock open, wasn’t needed since in use you press them toward open, and hold them there. I did move the pivot up so they could be cut to fit the liner and lock if ever needed. Contoured the bottom edges so it slips over the lock right now, so ya don’t have to press it half open/half closed.

And, the cool part IMO, and honestly so simple I’m surprised I never thought of it before; cut/filled the sides out of the bit driver to clear the sides of 1/4″ hex bit. Driver is still solid and strong. The spring and friction hold the bit tight, but easy to change.

There is a slight chance of the sides spreading under high torque, but I serriously doubt ever having to use enough torque to do it. And, keeping the spring intact, it still holds the LM flat bits/extension perfectly.

Gonna clean up my cuts in the handle frames and send off for red Cerakote soon. 

Mar.7th 2013; EDIT to add;
Figured for consistency sake, should post to this thread the vic tweezers mod I added (since I just linked this thread in like 3 other places…  )
