How to Install Leatherman Pocket Clip
Are you a proud owner of a Leatherman multi-tool and looking to enhance its functionality with a pocket clip? Installing a Leatherman pocket clip is a straightforward process that can make your multi-tool more convenient to carry and access. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to install a Leatherman pocket clip, ensuring that your multi-tool is always within reach when you need it.
Materials Needed
Before you begin, gather the following materials:
– Leatherman multi-tool
– Leatherman pocket clip
– Screwdriver (if necessary)
– Cleaning cloth
Step 1: Locate the Pocket Clip Mounting Holes
First, locate the mounting holes on your Leatherman multi-tool where the pocket clip will be attached. These holes are typically found on the backside of the multi-tool, near the hinge. Check your multi-tool’s manual for specific placement details, as they may vary between models.
Step 2: Remove the Multi-Tool Blade
To access the mounting holes, you will need to remove the multi-tool blade. Depending on your model, this may involve unscrewing a screw or pressing a release button. Once the blade is removed, set it aside for later use.
Step 3: Clean the Mounting Holes
Before installing the pocket clip, clean the mounting holes with a cleaning cloth to remove any debris or dirt. This will ensure a secure and stable attachment.
Step 4: Attach the Pocket Clip
Position the pocket clip over the mounting holes, aligning the holes with the clip’s mounting points. If your multi-tool requires a screwdriver to secure the clip, use the appropriate size and gently tighten the screws. If your model does not require screws, simply press the clip into place until it is securely attached.
Step 5: Reattach the Multi-Tool Blade
Now that the pocket clip is installed, reattach the multi-tool blade by aligning it with the hinge and securing it in place according to your model’s instructions.
Step 6: Test the Attachment
Before using your multi-tool with the new pocket clip, test the attachment by applying gentle pressure to ensure that the clip is securely fastened. If the clip feels loose or unstable, double-check the screws and reattach the clip as needed.
Conclusion
Installing a Leatherman pocket clip is a simple and rewarding process that can greatly enhance the convenience of your multi-tool. By following these steps, you can enjoy easy access to your Leatherman’s tools whenever you need them. Happy carrying!
