Pivot adjustment tool

[K1W1]

Found this flathead screwdriver floating around in my junk drawer. I'm not quite sure where it came from originally but it makes a perfect pivot adjustment tool!

I use a dime. Not a hot girl a coin.

I've always used a coin or a flattened bottlecap.

Yep, my thumb gets the job done.

I tried the dime last night and found out that does a good job of not buggering up the pivot screw. Whereas most screwdrivers do bugger them up.

A dime works for the newer pivots, as the slot is wider. The pivots were re-designed to accomodate that.

AH HA!

Nice idea!

Amici,
Dittos on the dime, have fallen on that method many a times until I used lock-tite after finding the sweet spot. I also use a Leatherman Squirt for the pivot screw. Now the handle/clip screws, they can be an issue. I've accidentally stripped a few in the process of performing PCMS or replacing/upgrading a pocket clip..

Cheers,
Serge

Just one reason why I love Emerson, a large pivot with slot head that needs only a simple tools.
