This is perfect because in construction you don’t end up wearing these blades evenly so the pieces that are used up unevenly can be made into these. Essentially you end up using the whole blade with this mod. Genius

Excellent video. Thank goodness SOMEBODY is trying something new. As a tile contractor I've seen many accidents with power tools and flying bits....use your ppe EVERYTIME , EVERYUSE

Many times I see videos where the presenter goes a bit overboard on being or appearing safe, but I totally get this. Thank you for taking a dedicated moment to implore folks to protect their vision.

Although large saw blades are cumbersome to carry everyday if not in a bag or a car, now I see your point. To explore new possibility and test the limits, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Zzz777 is on similar line with you. His pommel hammer that clicks into the lanyard ring slot of Wave is awesome.

Awesome kid. And YES…definitely an advocate for eye protection with face shield. Had metal shavings from drilling red iron that fell behind safety glasses. Went to urgent and they got them out…I thought. A couple of days later a shaving that hiding behind eye decide to dislodged as I was driving. Almost instantly blinded me. Had to pull and get it with a napkin I had in the car. Went to doc afterwards and had a significant cornea abrasion.

I can see this being good for camping and Hiking cheaper and lighter than a folding saw just depending on how much u use it for comfort reasons

Just watching this again. Great Mod! Huge bonus to & improvement of the Wave's abilities and functions. Very nice!

Thanks for stressing the dangers of those damn cutting wheels ! They shatter a LOT !! Jeez Dude, that's some seriously adverse working conditions ! 👍

FYI, cutting the radius on the large notch will give better strength than a squared off cut. Gotta do this for my wave!

Here's an idea: if you don't mind your lanyard ring getting a bit messy; clamping the ring to the blade and then doing the layout with spraypaint might give you a more accurate initial pattern

I am so glad I found your channel.

Ah, east coast weather. Gotta love it. I’m north of you. Great build. I’m sure I’ll try it at some point.

Glad you still have your eye. Sorry about the cost. In the UK that would have been free (although you do pay a % of your pay that covers all Govt benifits) on the NHS.

Very useful video. Thank you for your efforts in making this!

One suggestion is to use a grinder with a blade equal to the first inside width dimension of the first cut. One cut to a fixed inside dimension and then shape the outside perimeter of the outline.

Good video with this i should be able to achieve the cuts indeed to adapt a larger saw and more tooth applications. Thanks.

Great mod with the Diablo reciprocating saw blade.

awesome video, love this mod. Looking forward to a video for the surge if you decide to make it

Use a face shield Meanwhile welders is like "hold my beer watch this" 😆

Very cool modification!

What about in the surges t-shank holder? Thats what i was thinking i also tried putting a hack saw blade on the power pint, but i would need a dremel and carbide burrs to to it properly.

I just had a go at this with a regular hacksaw blade. It was only just wide enough but I managed to get a snug fit. The blade was already damaged so I cut it to the same length as my Wave. I reckon I’ll need to use the blade carefully as I think it will bend or even break if I put any lateral force on it but hey, it’s an emergency tool, so it won’t get a lot of use. I’m now looking forward to picking up some sawzall blades to experiment with…a green wood blade first, I think.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

us old leatherman og's been did this years ago but good demo/hack

Why not on the surge , just make it fit the saw/ file fitment. Great Vid, cheers

So first of all, this is incredibly cool. I’ve seen several people making stuff to jam in the pocket clip slot. Thank you for taking the time to cover the tools and show the whole process - even in the rain! However, for EDC, I wonder if a simple 3D printed handle made to accept these Sawsall blades would be better. I just don’t know how much I want to use my favorite Wave as a glorified handle…

Your the best!

I was able add sawsaw blade to my leatherman surge

Back again , a better mode would be adding a T shank jigsaw blade adapter. Smaller blades for a small tool. If I need a 9 inch sawzall blade it is attached to my sawzall.

Have you considered swivelling your vise jaws over top of your bench? Then you can rest the arm that is holding the Dremel tool on the bench to steady the cut. If you are going to do several blades you may also consider laying the lanyard on the blade and then giving it a quick shot of spray paint to give you the shadow outline you need. Which blades do you prefer?

Dude you sound like Tom Cruise when you talk...nice video too

I wish it worked with surge

Seems like a 4.5" grinding disk would do it quicker.

Did you ever do the video for the surge? My guess is that it'd probably be better to use the T shank space...

Thank u

Iv been wondering if the lanyard ring would fit in the ozark trail. It's a close clone. I hate using clones but letherman is making it impossible to afford unless your high class rich lmao. But I wanna do mods like this so bad cause I need it for work.

Do you think attaching a saw blade like this would be a good substitute for a dedicated pruning saw for cutting down a tree in survival/bushcraft scenario. Just curious of the strength of the locking feature. Thanks.

awesome!

Hi. Great video. Can u tell me what cutting wheel and accessory u are using on your dremel… the one I use don’t look or function as heavy duty as urs…

It's much easier to build a handle for these Sawzall blades than to modify them for the Leatherman.

What vise is that? I've been looking for one just like that

Toda raba

Have you tried modifying the recip saw blade to fit into the t blade holder on the surge?

Very interesting videos!! Do you own any SOG multitool? I would love to see similar mods for the PowerAccess... Thanks!

Was the video for the charge mod ever done

Instead of using a sharpie could you use a carbide point marking pen. Then you are scratching off the line instead of ink. The other option that I have seen done is getting the template in the right spot and shooting just a small spritz of spray paint to get the lay out just right.

Is it worth it? Do you think it will hold up when used often, you know, for camp use and bushcraft? 🤷‍♂️🤨

The idea is good but the design is wrong. To cut metal you will have to put some downwards pressure and with the way you have it, then the leverage is on the weakest side. (where it locks in) Flip the design so the pressure is on the other edge. Pause the video at frame 7:28 and you can easily see the potential weak point for the finished blade.

Will it work on a Rebar ?

Haha. Just bring a saw if you have to lug that thing around.

The SURGE takes T shank Jig saw blades .

yeah putting a sawzall blade on a multitool is dumb as hell

What an absolutely stupid idea! If you want a sawzall just go out & buy one. Surely you must have better things to do with your time!

so your video with cuts takes longer than just buying the Lennox Sawzall blade handle ( $28 ) . my time is worth something ( boiler tech so if it takes more than 1/2 hr and is under $40 i just buy it ) and for edc a Sawzall isn't that big of a need. now as far as the eye pro goes ( and ear pro because those little Dremel's are loud ) i am a safety 3rd kind of guy. look it up from Mike Rowe and Travis S Taylor from rocket city rednecks , both talk about you being the one to plan your safety. the most dangerous thing on the jobsite is the fool that went before you because you don't know what he did. so have a plan for when the job goes sideways.
