Multi-tool Keys - Mod / Hack

I always wanted to build one of these too since I've seen the instructable. And last week I found the small blue Multitool, bought it and built my own key-screwdriver-pliers-and even LED-light-tool. But I want to add more keys so that the small LED light has to go...
Thank you for the great idea 

I like this so much I did one myself. I think I used the same tool. I added three keys and only had to get rid of one blade. Most of the spacers are huge and can be replaced by tiny washers (for some blades I don't use much I left out the spacer). I opened both sides of the tool removed the thick spacers and was able to place 5 blades on one side and three keys plus two blades on the other.

PS. Airports are no problem, just put it in your packed luggage, knives are fine there.

i have exactly the same tool. i gotta try this one. you replaced the torch with the keys right?

Thanks
I didn't even realize yours folded out the other way. I got mine at Canadian tire in a set that included a flip knife and a mini box cutter for about 10 bucks. As for the chain, I live in Barcelona Spain, and here if it isn't chained to you, someone steals it.

This thing is gonna get me killed by a highway patrolman someday.

hahahahahahahhAHA lol man good 1

dude, my mom, and dads car uses the chip in the key, I wanted to give them one for Christmas.

you can bring it to the store and have them fit a normal key for around 9 bucks

If you try to use a regular key in a vehicle that requires a chip key, it will actually lock out vehicle use on the internal computer. You HAVE to get the EXACT key from an auto retailer, or online, otherwise you will go through a great deal of trouble and money.

looks like you just hotwired that car

Bahaha dude thats awesome.

hahaha

Nice instructable but is pretty heavy so it may screw up your key switch and they are annoying as hell to replace.

hey... is that... MY car??? :D

i'm planning on making one of these

Haha, that is hilarious! Nice one!

hahahahaha

guy do that with a single blade knife so you can cut down on the weight... oh man how about a switch!!! ya or a butterfly, omg I'm doin that... well may be the single blade (switch blades and butter's are illegal in maine)

way off topic here (or maybe not), but i saw a few butterfly blades in a store called Enchantments in Bar Harbor. Have to be 18 or older though.

like jest the blade or the whole kit and kabutal??? are you talkin bar harbor main???

main, i mean Maine

I hope "kit and kabutal" is a phrase. But yeah, blade, sheath-grip and all. Yes I'm talking about Bar Harbor Maine. Careful though, they kick people out for anything but looking and asking for help.

you never herd that before???

well any way il check them out... i have a bm-42 right now so im good on knives at the moment i have a good collection going...

oh, sorry it's actually boothbay harbor, not bar harbor. (i sometimes mix those up)

i checked there site... it dosent seam like the place were they sell butterfly knives...lol

id expect it more from some shops in O.O.B.

hmm. Maybe you could try BudK, they're an online dealer. Also, enchantments is a store where oddities are found. For example in the back there's a bunch of wiccan books. But on the right, they have katanas, I believe some sort of axe (yes they're real). though recently I bought a pocket knife there.

In short, it is a strange store indeed.

i must agree with strange... its slightly far from were i live so i dont think il be going any time soon... thanks for the info tho

if you take this to the air port
they will take it from you

cool Instructable

Hide it in your shoe then, next to the explosives. They'll never think to look there. ;-)

Very cool 'ible.

waste of a shoe throw it at ex president bush

there was actually a youtube video for that. It was hilarious. Check it out here; also notice how the guy next to Bush feebly puts out his arm to stop it. lol.

On this step, since you commented on liking another's design that could be accessed without opening the tool, couldn't you have gone a step further and switched the sides, or even simply flipped them over? Not sure the exact specs on your tool there, but I had one that I did that too and it works perfectly still. =]

Neat use for a cheapie Leatherman knock-off! Considering making one myself, but I'd probably need a 37 blade tool, for all the stupid keys I use.

For the car key, I'd suggest leaving a little nub on one of the modified keys, that you could drill an extra hole through. Attach a chain to this, and stick the car key on the end. Maybe even a hook in the middle of the chain, to hang the whole works on the shift stalk (or wiper control stalk, if'n you don't have column shift), while driving, to limit stress on the ignition switch.

Funny thing that so many have mentioned airport security. I've attained the ripe old age of almost 35, and have not yet had the need to travel by airplane. I was just wondering, do most people use air travel so often, that there would be a huge problem with Leathermanning their keys?

im only 13 and i travel by airplane a lot and yeh it probably would cause a problem... i had an electrical box circley thing stuck in my sock and i didnt know, i no seems imposible but i did, and it took them like 10 minuts in security and they had to get like 20 people to come and help and if i was older i prabably woulda goten arested lol.

I just gotta know why you'd have an electrical box knockout in your sock. Jimmy-ing vending machines perhaps? I could make a joke here about what most 13 year olds have stuck in their socks, but decorum prevails...

i just put em in those candy machines for free candy, most of the time it works, and i had dropped one earlier in the day and i guess it fell in my shoe lol, i really dont know, one of those freak accidents.

dude, you can jimmy old vending machines with saltwater. yes it is possible

I WANNA NO HOW!!!!

ok, it has to be a very old vending machine. Then all you have to do is pour saltwater into the coin slot. (Coin on a string also works)

lol yeah i fugured that out after i asked that, i dont wanna get finned so ill stick to the not so destructive methods heh

I love it, great 5*

lol i love this i made one its crazy im makin another for my lock picks

I had a small generic. leatherman with a light on one side and the light broke so I had to try this.I like the fact that I can use the case with belt loop,it makes it a lot easier to find my keys

That's awesome man............

Are those kwikset keys in step 1 real?

what I would do, is take the spare pieces like corck opener and the other little things that you never use - that would make it into a very useful leather man, cuz yall have the blade in it...

pretty much totally awesome

awsome instructable! I love my new key letherman even though now it looks like im always breaking into my house, lol
