Custom Modded Leatherman Bond (How to)

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Awesome. If the bond came equipped like this I’d have bought it already for sure

[@maxlvledc]

The Bond was supposed to be a mirror of the PST..so it was never going to have those features

[@name5949]

Dude i really hope Leatherman see this video with those extra tools i think this is the perfect EDC for Europe i really like it i sometimes use the older version of this tool but i think it's definitely better with the extra tools love it 👍

[@ergezinger]

The scissors and the knife mod are how the bond should have been from the start. Great job!

[@trueblack6760]

I think your positive approach to DIY and solve the problem with your idea and skills are so Cool!! I wish if I had a skills and smart brain like you do... Pretty cool video indeed and I think leatherman should hire you as a adviser.

[@texasbryan]

Great video. I re-profiled my Bond knife after watching this video. Wow…much better! Now I just need to pick up some scissors, a saw, and some Loki wrenches!

[@maxlvledc]

GET ER DONE! cheers!

[@thinh_pham91]

Nice mod. Do you have to grind the Phillips tool to fit the scissors? Thanks.

[@maxlvledc]

slightly if I remember correctly.

[@balisonglover000]

So simply removing the lanyard loop gives you enough room for the wood saw? 😲

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Very cool to see the process. Great video 👍

[@maxlvledc]

Cheers

[@clintwestwood3539]

Would you make one for a customer? And how much would it be?

[@maxlvledc]

Atm, i don't have time

[@danilopez9107]

Fantástico!! Great Mod!! As always very good video!!

[@KungFuTweety1]

Please go work for leatherman....

[@maxlvledc]

They don't want me bro

[@drbirtles]

Thank you so much for this! It's perfect for me here in the UK. I'll do this. I'll probably remove the knife blade and make this tool purely "tools". So it had a saw, file, scissors, and drivers/awl/can opener. I carry a dedicated one handed opening slipjoint folding knife with better steel, and I can't justify carrying two knives if the police ask. Do you think the rebar Pliers would fit? I prefer them because they have the replaceable cutters? Or maybe some wave + pliers?

[@folksurvival]

Why would you have to justify two legal items?

[@drbirtles]

@@folksurvival in principal you shouldn't have to... But they're gonna ask. Because in reality they'll spin in as "well you already have a knife for cutting things, so why do you actually need another knife?" Which is a valid question to consider as the end user, but nothing to do with legality as you say. But the police want any excuse to arrest people nowadays, so I don't risk it. Therefore carry only one cutting tool.

[@folksurvival]

@@drbirtles You don't need to answer their questions.

[@6T7T9]

genius!!! total legend

[@benc8640]

Nice video. Where did you get the crosss shaped tool to remove the nuts holding the bits together? Never mind, just saw the link :)

[@fieture5619]

Yeah man.. I was expecting the Blade fix, thats the big con with the Bond. The only thing I'd add would be a Bit Driver.. lovin this Bit exchanging feature :)

[@maxlvledc]

ACTUALLY, my testing..I prefer the Philips + the rebar bit holder..its far more versatile.

[@hellbillyBob]

I so want to make a serge bar ....just can't commit . This helps....😁

[@wendellduranguzman]

instead of modifying the multi tools, the solution was simple, just place a 4 millimeter circular magnet where the knife is closed and automatically the tip of the knife no longer comes out

[@maxlvledc]

Seen that one!

[@easyplumbwadebridge639]

Hello! I have my wrenches scissors and saw all ready to go for my first leatherman mod just want to check the nuts that hold it together are righty tighty lefty Lucy? I'm putting some pressure on but no movement! Would oil work ? When the blade is out I'm thinking of popping a small tig weld on the back so it touches the retaining bar before you get the blade issue movement if I get the thing undone that is! Hope you can help thank you

[@easyplumbwadebridge639]

This is a great video thank you I'm going to get the bond now I was totally put of with the blade issue you pointed out. It's small in the pocket and uk friendly, for me it needs a saw and scissors so I'm going to give it try where do you get the spare parts from ? I'm guessing people like me that cant put them back together again! It looks like the wave scissors. Just subscribed really helpful thank you

[@maxlvledc]

Correct, it's a wave scissor and rebar file

[@marmite8959]

Awesome mods! Recently got a pocket clip for my Bond as they only just came back in stock in the UK and it's now my favourite EDC. Can I ask what model the scissors are from? Sorry for commenting without watching the whole video lol I'd personally love to put a set of tweezers on mine like with the Micra, you're the expert do you have any advice? Thanks and keep up the good work 😊

[@maxlvledc]

This should re relatively easy using a pair of small magnets. You can fit the tweezer inside the frame.

[@dubernauta]

Nice! Where did you get the scissors and saw? From a bladeless rebar or somewhere cheaper? I have to try it. 👍

[@maxlvledc]

Scissors from old wave, saw from rebar.

[@knightnox5]

Where do i get those wrenches to open the pivot screws?? Great video but he way.

[@maxlvledc]

Russia..but currently not available.

[@StationDOOD]

Very cool mod. When you took apart the Bond though, there were already scissors inside. Were you able to just slot that in or did you need to reprofile something to fit the scissors? Also curious what the final total weight was

[@maxlvledc]

honestly couldn't tell you atm, as it was traded to a friend, I did have to cut into the philips to fit it. which is shown in the video.

[@haymaker299]

Also maybe a Super Tool 300 with a Rebar file, a Surge file, and Surge scissors.

[@appleztooranges]

Would have been cool if you used Leatherman crunch to file it down in lieu of the vise grips

[@maxlvledc]

I dont have one atm or I would have

[@torfinnjohnsrud793]

Do multiforce tools fit in the bond? Or is the pin size different?

[@maxlvledc]

The pivot is a little bigger...but yes..they would work

[@torfinnjohnsrud793]

@@maxlvledc Great! Thanks for the info. I want to mod my bond but I don't have parts lying around. The scissors would be the low hanging fruit before I get rebar parts. I don't need the plain blade, so I'd do it with a serrated blade and a saw. Perfect companion with an actual primary folding blade.

[@TylerSnyder305]

I like the minimal tool set of my bond, but do not really need the smaller standard driver or the can opener and definitely do not need the lanyard ring. Do you know what impliment / impliments might be a drop in replacement for these 2 and the lanyard ring ?

[@maxlvledc]

Any of the rebar tools will drop in fine.

[@TylerSnyder305]

@@maxlvledc alright, well I probably wouldn't use the scissors or saw much so I guess I'll just leave it as .

[@j.e.t.decoratingjackthomas8833]

Which wood saw fits the bond

[@maxlvledc]

Rebar saw

[@DeconstructedWithJosh]

What a sexy beast!

[@maxlvledc]

Why thank you! The Bond looks awesome too. 😉

[@philipgamboa6134]

It's hard to follow from one camera angle. Nice thou

I tried 😅
