Folks

any suggestions on bending out/losening the clip
New today

Cliping on waistband of dress slacks is a two hand job

Struggle to get on a 1.5 inch belt

thanx in advance

Which Dragonfly? The metal clips on the all stainless and G-10 ones should respond well to gentle and judicious lifting with your finger. The molded clip on the FRN version is more problematic to adjust, but generally not over tight. All are intended as pocket clips, waistbands and belts do tend to be thicker.

Per the factory:
Pull the clip
hold with padded pliers on the attachement point
bent up
re install
test
repeat if nessasary

I usually let the Dfly rest in the pocket. Perfect size for that, I don't want to risk losing it by clipping it.
 
Start out using it as a money clip. Put 1-2 bills in it the first day or two. Work it up to 10 bills or so, then try the waistband or pocket.

Seems to me like a more complicated way to achieve the same thing just lifting up on the end of the clip would, but whatever works for you, works for you. :)
