Leatherman combination spanner mod

Posted at 20:50 on July 6th 2010 in DIY, EDC, Lifestyle hacks, Multitools

My work place has two large garagaes, but none of the tools that should be in them. Seriousely, I dare anyone to try to find a security torx bit (or any other kind of specialized, NEEDED equipment) in that place. I long ago started carrying my own tools as they sure as hell aren’t going to provide them.

I use a large forestry clearing saw (giant weed wacker) at work that requires a 19mm spanner for simple things like greasing the gears and changing the cord (or get it back out from the holder when it snaps out). The one we have available is too big to carry around and stays with the tractor, and is too worn out to work at all on the grease bolt. I bought a cheap 19mm combination spanner and grinded it to fit the bit holder of my Leatherman, which means I can have it with me at all times. It works great and frankly I think Leatherman is missing out on a business opportunity since they don’t offer anything but a bit holder and bits. I’ve seen people online makes saws, cutlery and all sorts of things for the bit holder on their Leathermans, so why not offer some official accessories?

UPDATE July 28th:

Been doing some modifications to this lately to make it sit better in the bit holder on the Skeletool. The final design that seems to work best includes a hole int he spanner and a bolt with a magnet that locks the spanner to the carabiner part of the Skeletool. This holds it firmly in place and is easy to take off/put on. The magnetic bolt has a ring on itso it can sit on the carabiner on my keychainas well as on the carabiner on the Skeletool to keep it from falling off.
