Leatherman mod how far can we go ?

[adelmur]

HI Everyone.
I am an heavy leatherman user for many years.
I am a designer. as a Designer I am never satified with whatnI have ! so I am going into the process into moding the most compete leatherman to get an ultimate tool.
the leatherman surge.

I would like to explore some options with your help. and maybe develop a moding kit for the leatheman surge.

first
mod the pliers.
I would like to get the replaceable wire cutters on the super tool 300 or the mut.
is it possible ?
I saw a wave being modified with a rebar pliers. is it compatible with the surge ?

mod the blades
I saw this mod

I would like to redesign the blades. with regular leatherman metal or damascus.
First I need cad files to redesign and CNC the blades
then I need some stock metal.
any help from you guys to get those informations ?

Apparently, learherman will propose a m
New design on the surge for 2013.

The plier with replaceable wire cutters.
An improved blade holder.
They have removed the precision bit driver. And replaced it with a smal screw driver.

It goes on the good way...
Now i am looking for a gut hook instead of the large flat driver.. Maybe the one from the oht may fit ?
And a second bit driver holder
And a moded bit driver that hold the mini driver.

Btw. Any body have a spare bit holder ? Or know where i can get one ?
