That takes the fun out of it.

Kind of teach a man to fish, not hand him a fish type of thing.

Does anyone know if a strider tool will also work on a Hinderer? The pivot looks very similar...

It's different, the hinderer is a lot more narrow. As I mentioned earlier go buy yourself one of these and if you're somewhat handy with a dremel you can make yourself a strider and hinderer tool in one for $5.

Strider side:

Hinderer side:

I padded it with a rubber lining and then wrapped it with tape so I can just hold the tool against the scale while I unscrew the pivot screw.

The number 12 spanner bit works perfectly. I used heat shrink tubing to attach it to a ring pin and now it's attached to my keychain. Thanks guys!!!

I think the Strider and Hinderer uses the same tool.

The Hinderer XM Tool does not work on a Strider SMF.

Go to Sears or look up online for spanner tool bit set, they are like $6, can find at Amazon also.

Amazon. That's where I bought mine. You can buy a ring pin there too.

Until the day that I have my hands on the holy grail, an armorers tool, I'll have to make do with this -

A couple of stainless washers and paracord.

That I haven't seen yet and that is really cool, a great idea that I may also have to give a try.

Do you happen to own a Lionsteel SR1, or know someone who does? they include a spanner tool that happens to fit just fine. I'm sure other Lionsteels do too, but I only own SR1's.
