How to Install Pocket Clip on Leatherman Wave

Are you the proud owner of a Leatherman Wave and looking to add a bit more functionality to your tool? One of the most popular modifications for the Wave is the installation of a pocket clip. This addition allows for easy and convenient access to your multi-tool whenever you need it. In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of how to install a pocket clip on your Leatherman Wave.

Materials Needed:

Before diving into the installation process, ensure you have the following materials:

– Leatherman Wave multi-tool
– Pocket clip of your choice
– Small flat-head screwdriver
– Needle-nose pliers (optional)

Step 1: Remove the Old Clip (if applicable)

If your Leatherman Wave already has a pocket clip installed, you’ll need to remove it before installing the new one. Use the small flat-head screwdriver to carefully remove the screw holding the clip in place. Once the screw is out, gently pull the clip off the multi-tool.

Step 2: Position the New Clip

Hold your Leatherman Wave in your hand and position the new pocket clip where you want it to be attached. Most pocket clips come with a flat portion that should be placed against the back of the multi-tool. Make sure the clip is oriented in a way that allows for easy access when clipped to your pocket.

Step 3: Secure the Clip to the Tool

Take the screw that was removed from the old clip or a new one, depending on your preference. Insert the screw through the hole in the pocket clip and into the corresponding hole on the Leatherman Wave. Make sure the clip is securely attached to the tool by tightening the screw.

Step 4: Tighten the Screw

Using the flat-head screwdriver, tighten the screw until the clip is snug against the back of the multi-tool. Be careful not to overtighten, as this may damage the tool or the clip. Once the clip is securely in place, test the clip by holding the tool and ensuring it is stable and doesn’t wobble.

Step 5: Test the Clip

With the clip securely installed, test it by clipping it to your pocket. Ensure that the clip is tight enough to hold the tool securely but not so tight that it is uncomfortable to wear. Adjust the clip as needed until you find the perfect balance.

Conclusion

Installing a pocket clip on your Leatherman Wave is a straightforward process that can significantly enhance your tool’s usability. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy easy access to your multi-tool whenever you need it. Happy modifying!
