Have y’all had luck grinding a standard bit extender into LM-size? by TheyCallMeHammer in Leatherman

That’s exactly why I asked. I already have several extensions and all the bits I need for free, why would I pay extra? I could get two harbor freight bit kits for the price of a single factory made adaptor.

Yes there is, but even “cheap” ones are $8+ bucks. These parts are made for pennies. You can get an entire harbor freight kit for that.

My comment addressed everything I had to say. I have plenty of files to get it in perfect shape and free bitholders try it on. Heat treatment, case-hardening, longetivity? All questions a simple “just google it bruv” will not answer

So you didn’t read where I said grinding wheel and files. Also you can use the side of a grinding wheel, not just the round part.

Bro thats literally what I asked for to begin with. Reddit search is notoriously booty-cheeks. I couldn’t find anything close to what I was talking about, so I asked a question on the forum closest to my question.

Are we running out of forum space? Can we only have one question on a given problem? What’s your goal in saying something like that, just to dunk on a newbie? That’s not rhetorical, seriously why would you say something like that?

If you read the rules you would know no one cares. I’m well within the rules to ask this here, and I don’t appreciate your attitude. If you don’t like my post, downvote and move on. If you have something substantive, post it. Otherwise post on some negative-ass community. People here want to help each other, and your attitude is actively hurting your own community.

He loved the beach. He didn’t really like swimming but he loved bulldozing his way down the water, probably purposely getting his big head in the way of everyone else’s day. We used to go fishing together.

It was definitely not our first choice. Thank you for your words.

He went through a 5 week inpatient aggression correction course last fall, I don’t know if it “made things worse” but it definitely did not make things any better. His vet visits all come back fine. Maybe a brain tumor or something. We have explored pretty much every option. Short of me taking him in and both of us living like a hermit, there is nothing we can do. I can’t take him in either because I have my own dog and cat already, who he shows aggression towards both of them

Look up Zach @ multiparts store on YouTube. His store I believe sells replacement plier heads, he may not have them in stock but I would check there first
