If you want something done right, do it yourself. Great job brother, that thing is exactly what the market is lacking, and exactly what most people want.

Dude, send that design to Gerber right now and tell them to make it and tell them to make it in the USA with premium blade steel and useful wire cutters

H, yes this we need more of these types of videos of you doing mods. I have spent a GDP of a small country trying to find different tools sets that work with each out from Leatherman to bibiary. So I'm not for sure the type of viewers you have but I can say for myself and a few conversations I have had in your comment sections that it seems there is a good bit of us tinkers out there. Even if it's only like 1 video a month of different customization projects that you're working on and updates on them would mean the world to us. Thanks and keep up the great work man.

@michaeldigiulio5602 Ай бұрын

Being able to customize a multitool is something a lot of people that use multitools daily need! Just pick your tools and a compatible “frame”, set it up they way you want (inside pliers with wire cutter and stripper etc with the other tools such as a bit driver, knife, saw, or whatever on the outside and they’ll buy every one made! Make some different models and certainly made in USA! 👏

@owenmay1108 Ай бұрын

Good size knife, ¼in bit driver, and the pliers are THICCC, all in such a convenient size. Maybe they should use the body of an armbar slim, and really high quality steel. That would make for an amazing size.

@blade9292 Ай бұрын

You ended up to make it real ! Yeah gerber can do something "better" but this is because they can make the frames. But yeah Mini center drive should exist. I wish they had more outside slots for things like a saw, and scissors. The form factor should inspire since mini multitools like this are super useful for light work.

G'day mate.! Now we are talking "thinking outside the box". You must have had a lot of fun butchering in between frustration & cursing but once beyond the challenges, you look down and....Cowabunga.! It's a "Bitsa" multitool. You say it's rough, we say it's passion. A little bit of that, a little bit of this & a little bit of those hence "Bitsa". You've just created excitement on the Tube. Not waiting for Gerber or Leatherman, we're making one this weekend. Cheers mate from Australia.

@Robert-cd5zr Ай бұрын

I'd buy this if they got the locking driver to lock. Great work. I'd buy two if they had a TSA friendly version (scissors, file, screwdriver) as well. If the bit driver was deep enough to accept leatherman double sided bits as well as regular bits (think leatherman bit extension depth) so I could keep a double sided bit inside. I'd be ecstatic. I really like the idea of a small multitool with replaceable wire cutters so I don't screw up the tool if I bite off more than I can chew

@lionmane3131 Ай бұрын

this is awesome. along these lines could you maybe look into the possibility of bibury's three leatherman clones compatibility? I found out recently that they all have the same innards sizes except for the surge clones outer tools. what I was going for was the surge's t-shank adapter, the wave's and surge's scissors and 3d bit driver, and the signal's combo blade and hammer end, however I couldn't formulate the correct sequence to mash them together properly and I am hoping you can succeed where I failed

@ToolTechGeek Ай бұрын

Nice to have large pliers in a very compact space. Sometimes the mini tools overdo the miniaturization of the pliers. Question is if they made this by reusing gerber part what pliers would they use? Maybe just remove the spring from the one you showed first?

@hvacbudget8600 Ай бұрын

That would be great since the Gerber MP800 plier head fits and it's fairly tough. It's rare and cool when a mod like this works, LoL!

@michaeldigiulio5602 Ай бұрын

It would be good to have several types of multitools, some with “regular” pliers, some with needle nose.

@ToolTechGeek Ай бұрын

Upon thinking about this, the modular tools do not seem to have changeable pliers, yet, maybe they will do it in the future.

@josephaurduieto7650 27 күн бұрын

Can you please find out how to add a full size regular utility blade onto a folding multi tool. I dream of having a utility blade and 1/4in bit driver on the outside of a multi tool with a plier head. (Anything except roxon, roxon quality is meh)

@hvacbudget8600 27 күн бұрын

That's a tough challenge. So of course the Roxon Phantom has one you can add on to it as part of its modular handle. The main issue is a multi tool handle has to be so thick to cover a wide utility blade or the utility knife would need to stick so far above the handle most people don't like the looks of that. Gerber made the cable dawg and Groundbreaker which are unfolding tools but have wide removable handles perfect for a utility knife. (The Groundbreaker actually had one in it's handle) Again a nonfolding tool is a deal breaker for most. I'll look into it again and see what can be done.
