Leatherman Bi-Metal Saw Blade Accessory

[projectswithrich]

The stock Leatherman Wave with three blades can handle most reasonable cutting tasks, but what about cutting bolts, copper pipe, and pvc? In just a few minutes I adapted an 18tpi bi-metal blade to fit the multitool. I chose this type of blade over a hacksaw blade for rigidity. Pressure helps the cutting speed so I made it mount differently, without using the bit holder. With this setup you can apply enough pressure and have the leverage to cut so many more materials at a reasonable speed. The length of the blade was shortened so it slips into the factory Leatherman sheath. I use it on my Leatherman Wave, but the design can work on other models and even other brands of multitools.

I guess I must have skipped over this thread, as I do with 90% of the video threads, at best I will skim through them and cover a 15 minute video in 15 seconds.
Agreed though this is quite useful accessory and adaptable to most any multi tool. For those of us like me who toss the multi tool pouch in favor of carrying in our pants pockets, slip the blade in your wallet so you will always have it. Don't forget to remove it if you plan on boarding a plane, like I forgot about my professional lockpick set once
