The sparse wrenches work wonders. I bought a new Rebar recently, along with a pair of the wrenches and I'm glad I did. The Rebar was tight on one arm if the handles, so tight that I had to bear down and really push to get the arm to close while praying that I didn't smash my fingers when it snapped free. A couple turns with the wrenches and now the arm closes easily. The wrenches were purchased for a Rebar plier head swap with a LM Kick. Still waiting on the Loctite blue stick to arrive before the swap. I also had tight pliers on the new Rebar and tried the hammer method. It worked but after squeezing the pliers together, right back to stiff. So I sat, with a split in half tree limb, and did the method shown here. It took quite a while but in the end it was worth it. Now the pliers are loose and do not tighten when squeezed together tightly. Thanks for the information on how to turn a new unusable tool into a new usable tool.
I almost bought a leatherman wave this year as I've always used somewhat cheaper MT's to get by. Then I discovered the GOAT modular multi-tool and I just decided to pre-order it instead. They gave an update and have their full patent now. Their estimate is to ship near April 2022 for pre-orders. I really dislike not being able to easily remove tools and I love the idea of having one high quality tool that's fully customizable. Plus the brass scales look really cool.
I’m interested in the idea of modular multitools, but every individual tool in GOATtools MMT system has a large circular hole at the hinge and I’m a little concerned about the strength. Still it is a realization of the dream multitool and I wish their tool hits the market soon.
I returned a Charge + TTI for exchange because the security torx screws on the straight blade and file was loose so the file scratched the inside of the scale and would not fold up if not pressed. If I had these tools I would have just fixed the problem myself.
Yea that's does do it but I watched a guy that uses a 9/16th socket a punch, a hammer... and 1 swing... and followed his video it was awesome I use my wave+ everyday and I can't believe the difference it made...
just looking at my ST300 about oh 15 years old or so and the darn fasteners at the wide spot are thinner than the plier end and not sure those wrenches would work any longer. Where can one get those wrenches?
Your tip with the plier loosening works, thx. I found out what also does, opening and closing it repeatedly while putting pressure on the side of the handles (sam trick as with floppy scissors). Really wish multitools would be more user servicable, victorinox does it even worse, its just bolts, no way to adjust anything, but then, those work out of the box and if they dont, ship it to them:P
Kool,I need some of those wrench tools,I'll let my buddy know before there all gone,he has a older charge Axl with those type of set screws. Hell be pleased to know about these,thank you for sharing.
the rebar is really hard to get back together once you take the plier head off, the leaf spring makes it hard to line up the pivot hole on the plier head. Mine is now unable to put back together.
I've done it...all I can say is this...NOT WORTH IT. not when you can carry a 58mm Vic which has superior scissors to both the Micra and basically every single Leatherman (outside of Surge).
@@JakeHabermansTH-cam I have that multitool, in fact I'm carrying it today in my 5th pocket, I carry it on days when I'm not taking a bag with a larger multitool in...I find it's better than the LM Squirt PS4 which has pretty useless scissors and ''Phillips SD'', also I find the blade better on the Nextool...only the file on the Squirt is better as it can be used as a saw. As you say the scissors on it are fantastic and it's a better option than a Micra or SOG Snippet too.
@@maxlvledc I mean when the plier head doesn't open or close freely. I tried WD-40 with silicone additive to brake in the skeletool but it just feels stiff even after.
Just got.a Rebar, first leatherman, and the handles are nuts to open and close. Is there any chance of getting those wrenches or another way to make it usable before I return it.
I’ve been trying to find a tool for Gerber tools like the Armbar. I found a few “close enough” tools but I can totally see in my head a metal circle with four small points to nestle into the four notches on the pivot screw. I’ve tried a couple of Gerber tools that just feel too tight. That was a bit of a misadventure, but in the end it worked out. I used 30 Degree Push Pin Removal Pliers but they did slip a few times. I’m still on the look out for some kind of a ring tool to fit around the pivot snuggly, but so far I haven’t found one that fits the bill. If anyone out their knows where to get such a tool please share!
I have a Rebar, tan ceracoat. The plier head moves freely. The problem I have with it is butterflying the handles open to access the individual tools. And closing is difficult also.
@Maxlvledc I like though. I carry it in a clip and carry coyote Kydex sheath. It reminds me of the original Leatherman that I carried for years before we broke it. Similar to the Bond with tools on the inside. Thank you for responding.
I'm about to do some work on my super tool 300m do you know if the screw side is on the blade side with the cut out in other words unscrew the side with the blade cut correct? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Honestly the reason i dosnt wanna go for the tools like the rebar or the supertool were because of the screws holding the tool together, it seemed like they were rivited on in a sense and of they came loose id have to send it back all because the handles became sloppy
Why would you have a super tool or a multi-tool if you're worried about scratching the frame I mean why use the thing if you think you're going to scratch it
Why mess about with something that is perfect, yes all leatherman multi tools are stiff when new. I’ve had a sidekick for many years bought as a gift, it’s been sharpened so many times I’ve had to retire it but best and most useful knife I’ve ever owned and believe me I’ve had a lot. I’ve just treated myself to a rebar, yes it’s stiff but I’m sure that’s a sight of workmanship and quality maybe that’s why leatherman give a 25 year guarantee. If you want to tune a life that is just a bit stiff when new how many times are you going to be tightening up in the future? My only gripe after buying my rebar was the free sharpening stone and oil absolute crap and the leather case weren’t as good as the knife 🇬🇧

I ordered 2...fingers cross it actually comes out...
@@maxlvledc I really hope so. It does seem to have some weight to it though so it won't be the mid weight some people like.

@@mingshey don't worry, check out the new renders, that has been completely changed
Any idea where I can get little wrenches like that? From whom or where to purchase some like that. Or close enough to work

Those lil wrenches are awesome. That's always been a problem with those models. This was a good vid man. No negative
Can you leave a description of what they are called, didn't see them on Etsy yet,ty
When will you have the tools available again?
Sorry if I missed something in the video but what's the other Leatherman tool you have on the right side? It looks a bit like the PST.
Time stamp?
@@maxlvledc at 2:10 it's right below the Charge, on the right bottom corner
I think it might be the leatherman sideclip
Here’s the only tip you need to tune your multitool……… use it.
Yea that's does do it but I watched a guy that uses a 9/16th socket a punch, a hammer... and 1 swing... and followed his video it was awesome I use my wave+ everyday and I can't believe the difference it made...
Hair dryers seem to work well for breaking the loctite too
hmm...I didnt think that would heat it up enough..but good to know!
Thanks, hair dryer will not affect the cerakote on my Super tool 300M right?

Do you have any recommendations on how to loosen up an extremely tight and hard to open main straight edge blade on a charge +?
Your going to need a pair of screw pliers..will Mar the edges a little but worth it.
Scratches on handle and Little damages on screw can void warranty??
Not at all. But some ppl care about that...so I figured show a method for keeping them clean
@@maxlvledc okay thank you
Kool,I need some of those wrench tools,I'll let my buddy know before there all gone,he has a older charge Axl with those type of set screws. Hell be pleased to know about these,thank you for sharing.
This was a while ago, they sold out within 24 hours.
Hi Dom! Have placed my order on your Etsy shop.
Ty! I sold out last night practically. I'll get everything in the mail monday.
the rebar is really hard to get back together once you take the plier head off, the leaf spring makes it hard to line up the pivot hole on the plier head. Mine is now unable to put back together.
where can i buy such a tool?
Excellent, thank you!
Any tips on alternatives? as Loki seems to be down with the current Russia situation
Right now I'm carrying a Micra on my keys to make up for not having scissors on my Signal.
How hard would it be for me to add scissors to my Signal?
There's a Nextool Flagship Mini for $27 and it has awesome scissors. It's under 3 ounces too
I've done it...all I can say is this...NOT WORTH IT. not when you can carry a 58mm Vic which has superior scissors to both the Micra and basically every single Leatherman (outside of Surge).
@@maxlvledc cool, yea I need to find mine

Very good content. Does the plier head loosening up work on other Leathermans too? Is there a way to loosen up the pliers permanently?
When you say loosen, what do you mean? And yes this works for other multitools
@@maxlvledc I mean when the plier head doesn't open or close freely. I tried WD-40 with silicone additive to brake in the skeletool but it just feels stiff even after.
Obviously I’m way late, I can’t find that wrench and tool set anywhere?
Made in Russia
Just got.a Rebar, first leatherman, and the handles are nuts to open and close. Is there any chance of getting those wrenches or another way to make it usable before I return it.
Are the Leatherman wrenches still available?
Been sold out right after I posted it
Cool, bonjour, où peut-on obtenir l'outil pour serrer la pince?
Great video, on the rebar how do you keep the blades, internal tools and sides of the pliers head from rusting?
Will you be getting more of these on your Etsy shop?
for sure. but probably not till next year early on. its a process to get them.
Very helpful video, thanks so much sir
Are you getting any more of these wrench kits to sell?
Nope, that supply is gone atm. I think you may still be able to get them on ebay

Engineer screw pliers should work
I’ve tightened my super tool pivot like that but it came loose again. Any advice?
take out the screw, get some red or blue loctite and you should be good.
@@maxlvledc perfect thanks. Wasn’t sure if locktite would effect anything else in the tool

It's the springs in the frame...hard to overcome them

I am seeing this tools/wrenches from Russia, BUT what tools are used in the Leatherman factory. Are there any original Leatherman tools?
Nope, and those will never become available to the public sadly.

It's on the non-blade side
@@maxlvledc gotcha thanks alot also I love your channel just started getting into multitools and you videos are great.
Very cool tutorial!
How do I order them from you?
they were sold out almost same day.

Maxlvledc... great video man!
By chance, do you have a drawing with the correct measurements for this wrench?
I would like to try to make one.
I'm afraid I don't, and don't really have the tools to replicate it.
Why would you have a super tool or a multi-tool if you're worried about scratching the frame I mean why use the thing if you think you're going to scratch it
Some people are raised to take pride in their work and tools, and not be clumsy.

But, would you EDC-it?
