✔ DiResta Leatherman Clip
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- I have been carrying a Leatherman Tool for 25 years now. I use the SURGE most. It is the right size for me, and has the right combination of tools used often use. BUT I have always hated to have to cary the tool in a sheath I like the idea of keeping it my front pocket. It is designed to take an optional clip, but this clip is not symmetrical and the tool often is hanging to one side. Not to mention the clip simply breaks off. I thought of the mod to solve these problems. I use my TIG welder to attach a clip to both sides or handles of the tool. the 2 sides come together to form a larger curve to make hooking it easy and simple. The fact the curve of the clip opens and closes also gives you the ability to use it like a “caribbener” and clip it on to a strap for instance. I put scrap steel into the handle under the welds to act as a heat sink to keep from melting through. I am not the best welder but I get the job done. This is my second modded Surge I did for camera. my first has been holding strong for over a year. Enjoy
ENJOY!

The moment you welded the clip to both sides I was thinking "wtf..." and when I saw the jewelers saw it was totaly obvious.
Cool project and great video, thanks for sharing!
ःःःःःः
Love it how someone can be so skilled at something they love doing so much and on top of that also entertains so many people just by doing what they do best. Jimmy you are the best keep em coming those videos!
Brilliant. At first, I thought you were crazy, but something in me said wait, see where he goes with it. I'm glad I saw it though. I wouldn't have thought of that. I have to admit, you usually expand my thinking. I admire your creativity.
As I was watching I kept thinking 'how is he going to open that?', then you cut the bottom of the loop with the saw and I was like 'oh, that's how.' Looks really cool, I kinda wish they all had something like that now!
I just had an epiphany on a project I'd been trying to solve for a while. You're use of the welding rod, brilliant!!
You never know how well or not so well something is going to work out untill you actually try it... Cool video.
This is the epitome of coolness. You can even hang them while they are open, awesome Mr. Diresta. Tnx for sharing!!!
MR DIRESTA, YOU ARE CRAZY!!!! CRAZY IN THE BEST WAY!!!! I THINK THE SURGE IS THES BEST LEATHERMAN TOOL!!!
Have u tried the wave??
....thinking outside the box is the only way to do things now a days, with everything punched out of molds anymore, makes it refreshing to see a new twist on everyday items....yes Surge is everyday item to some.......slamming work as usual!
Thanks to you I no longer "Jerry rig" things, I "Jimmy rig" them. Which not only means that I thought outside of the box and made something from nothing, but I also made it to the best of my abilities. Thanks for all the inspiration. I look at my tools, shop and world a little differently because of you. Thanks, "Rt"
I would like to invite everyone here at Jimmy's channel to come on over and take a look around our channel. You may like it. Thanks, "Rt"
We LIKE it, we LIKE it!!
For a minute there I was like " what are you doing!" But I'm proud to say I thought of the same solution as you did. Great minds think alike! Still an ingenious way to do it all the same. I'm liking all the tool/ knife mods recently. Keep up the good work !
That's a nice, strong weld! All those complaining about the "looks" of the weld?!?! They can jump in a lake! It's beautiful, as always!
+Samuel Luria We got a real fan over here lol
Not ashamed.
+Samuel Luria respect!! thank you
Anyone else that love the cosy feeling of watching diresta while hungover?:)
That's Awesome - Ive found that the small pocket on the right side of most jeans fits this tool perfect.
This is the best addition to a Leatherman that I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing and thanks for giving me a reason to break out the welder to do the the same.
Well?? Did you???
Ok! I just got myself a Leatherman. Now I just need a TIG Welder to make this happen! I envy your ingenuity so much, Jimmy! Thank you for sharing another cool project.
Jimmy, I owe you an apology.
For a moment I thought you were bunkers, but then you cut the loop with a hacksaw. Genius.
I've got a Surge too. With the leather pouch.
Added a lot of extra stuff to it.
Added a loop-clip to it, to hook it up to a lanyard on my belt.
So I can't lose it when working as a sailor.
Okay...so I first see the thumbnail and the clip looks CONNECTED so I was like "That's stupid. Now you cant open the damn thing."
but then you sawed it in half. this is the coolest pocket clip for a multi tool. Cool build, again.
Very nice! I have used a Leatherman tool for years and yes a good clip would have been very handy. I gave my teenager one and he complains it fall out of his pocket all the time :)
I hope Leatherman sees this video.
this guy makes some amazing stuff. wish i lived close to come work there for free to give a hand and learn some techniques. I have learned a lot just by watching and it has helped me see things in a new way.
You have a way of simplifying problems by looking at them from an unusual angle. Very original solution. Might just have to try this one.
Recently finding your channel has been my biggest CZcams achievement to date, you are an inspiration and I hope to one day be as skilled as you are with such a impressive workshop!
Jake Martin haha thank you jake!!
Jake Martin my favorite channel, or up there with Slingshot Channel :P
banduk dusri. hai dijiana. plese plese. plese
Another great video! Simple but elegant. And very manly because we all love our mini-tools.
I love how you see a problem and just make a solution. my favorite chanel by far.
You make this shit look too easy. Every time I watch a video I'm like "oh ill go build blah blah." Never ends up right. You got talent my man.
Really cool- and simpler than I would've thought! Thanks, Jimmy!
Nice! I carry a Surge and have for several years. The belt pouch that comes with them is a pain in the butt, I like this idea.
Even the way he threw away the sheath for me was very entertaining already! 😄👍
You SIR are a "G". Your skills are amazing and have inspired me to go build stuff.
Nicely done! I like how simple and clean the mod looks. That seam is tight! I practically disappears!
By the way he didn't ruin that surge he actually turned it into a unique piece and showed leatherman how it is done :)
I like how the clip you made matches the design of the rest of the tool. It looks like it belongs on the surge.
+Odood19 Man yeah! MULTITOOLS FOR THE WIN :D
I love this. Wish I had the tools needed to do this.
Looking at the thumbnail : "How did you even use the pliers...?"
Watched at 4:11 : "Ahh, mystery solved."
Excellent, I don't go anywhere without my leatherman wave. However I've been through a few of the clips already. Don't see this one breaking. Very nice!
Your action with the supplied sheath was appropriate...and humerous.
Excellent build! One thing though, I would have opened all the tools and kept it cool so it wouldn't ruin the temper.
It could be a little Sally of me but that's what I thought.
Great video! Thanks jimmy!
Good on you, genius work and the highest of craftsmanship. Just a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Nice again. Have the same surge dont have tig yet. Allways Nice to see you uploaded a new one. Thanks Jimmy for wat you do and have fun doing it. Greetings from the Netherlands Amsterdam
I have the same one and its the best Leatherman I've ever used
Just when I thought....you can't open it.....Ah hA! You never cease to surprise me, sir.
metalworking and carpentry are such amazingly useful skills.
I have recently subscribed to your channel because I enjoy your style, skill and creativity. You have a fan in Australia in me. I think a lot of your negative comments derive from a lack of knowledge from those that have no idea what Ad Hoc means when you are demonstrating your creativity. Ad hoc is a word that originally comes from Latin and means “for this” or "for this situation. It comes with no prerequisite for quality. I have an engineering academic background at University and I gave it all up and now work in custom fabrication, construction and maintenance, cos fuck living behind a desk, I do what you do and what you do is perfectly fine when it comes to getting the job done, and that is essentially the criteria for a mechanical engineer- to make shit work, form and function are secondary or tertiary but not forgotten.
Thank you for the love and respect!
Once again Jimmy, you amaze me with your creativity! Nice job!
I feel this is much more elegant than Adam Savage's belt holster from Tested. Great job!
Excellent idea! I too wondered how it would open when I saw the pics on Instagram. Now I know!
Brilliant. I've had the same Surge for three years and I use it every day. I'd love to try this mod & shed the sheath.
The whole video I was like: Wait he is not going to be able to use that. How is he not seeing that? Until you cut the piece apart... Stupid Me. Love your videos Jimmy. Keep on bringing us amazing content. Best Wishes from Germany.
Hey Jimmy, it looks like the 57 employees from Leatherman dislike this video because they didn't think of this idea. One of them was they guy who designed the case.
Very cool. In my latest video I told Leatherman they should make a clip for the OHT. That would be something.
Living Survival
Very nice. The work arounds are greatly appreciated!
Dude my pants would drop to my knees with that many EDC goodies stuffed in my pockets. Loved the vid.
I was super confused until 4 minutes in you cut it in half. Ohhhhhhhh. Now I get how it's not just a paperweight.
Leatherman is like damn why we didn't think of that. Good job brother.
Beautiful build, Diresta! I really thought you wrecked it until I saw you cutting it. Love the idea, man! :]
That is so clean, i love it! Thanks for sharing, Jimmy! Now i gotta get a super skinny little coping saw
He's my Hero, no sweet talking, just do it!
I find the lack of your logo on it disturbing
mémdíler hilarious, touché
ANY dude who speaks in Vader references is my brother \m/,
I like it. It sparked another idea for just one prong with a ring at the end, a bit like a pen clip. Now I just have to go learn to weld. And buy a Leatherman.
...ingenuity...can't buy it, can't learn it, can't fake it, nice one...!
You had us wondering for awhile until you cut the loop... nice left turn there Jimmy
u should make your own leather work belt then clip all the things u need on it instead of your pants pockets I watch your videos all the time your very talented at what u do
Love it!!! simple and clean cut,
i got the notification on my phone the JD uploaded a new video so i dropped everything and logged on to watch it ASAP
thats a cool idea! i always thot that case they come with was a waste too. in my head i was watching and thinking it wasnt going to open, until you cut it in half and then i thought it a pure genius! hahaha
Dude this is literally the best CZcams channel ever..... You hiring lol
Great work Jimmy. all the best Harry
You could make a video of you cutting a piece of paper into a square and it would still be great. Love your work
I just use the factory pocket clip. It has some side to side movement, but it has never unintentionally detached... at least not for me anyway. (Sample size of 1) I’ve also never managed to break one either. I don’t like that Leatherman’s clip is an afterthought at best, but you shouldn’t have to void your warranty to pocket carry comfortably either.
Classy job. Leatherman should offer the option.
Wicked mod 4 those who want a leatherman in their pocket. I believe you can use it differently by hooking the tool outside of everything ....
I was like hmm I wonder how you are going to open that now... never fear when Jimmy is near! lol
When he was about to weld directly to the Leathermans, I was thinking "well this is is going to interesting." I have mountains of faith in Jimmy, it just set off that little OCD-ish _what the hell is going on right now_ bell in my head. I think its a really slick idea though.
Amigo, ficou muito legal esta adaptação que você fez. Parabéns! Abraço. Rio de Janeiro Brasil
Nice! I'm not sure how it looks in person, but in video the clip, when together, looks seamless, as if it was just one piece. Great Mod.
Also, thanks for the mail, got it today! much appreciated.
Haha! I saw this a while ago on instagram! Nicely done, and I've been enjoying the podcasts lately!
that was very ingenious Jimmy great job
They should make them like that. Great job!
Great vid...u sir are a design god.....so simple right to the point very fuctionable
Cool..Love the clip and Surge model also, Thanks J
Excelente iniciativa brother....felicitaciones !!!!
You keep going and you are going to need suspenders to hold your britches up.
I have to get me a one of those tools.
cut-off bib overalls worn shirtless and perhaps boxer/brief-less (for the ladies and dc contingent) All the pockets you could need and straps deforming your traps. Be like skinny dipping in the shop with all the tools you can muster; probably not a good idea around the Zeus department.
i think attaching it to the screws would've been better , cleaner
What if you had to take it apart?
Ё6р
A brilliant idea and job!
Simplicity at its best.
Leatherman will sooner or later hire you for something. Good job :)
mind blowing idea for a clip
if you round off the tip of the pliers it makes any letherman close far smoother also to aid with the break in of the pliers movement if you put the pivot over a vice and give it a few good taps with a ballpeen hammer makes it move like butter...
Smart and well executed. Great, in fact.
There are times when I swear that this man has an IQ of 240.
Modded right out of the package. Nice editing choice.
You made a CZcams video, Leatherman will make millions from your CZcams video.
Impressive, simple effective... Very Nice
I bow in the presence of a Master...
I think that clip will be on there for a while. Good job.
I kept screaming No! as I watched this. They actually make a very nice pants clip that attaches and detaches very easily.
That's the coolest thing I'm gonna see today
The whole time i was thinking to my self, "well how the heck is he gonna open it.... ohhh" i just dont think that far ahead. =)

Nice, decorative yet functional.
frank howarth decorative? imho this is pure function over form.
Spitfire83 I think it looks good. I'd buy one like this.
Thank you frank!!
Spitfire83 If you think there is no form to this, you missed something. Try thinking of the easiest way to accomplish a clip for a Leatherman and you'll find a necessarily less attractive solution immediately.
kevohh10 they edgy gcd ex fdt

Beautiful work Jimmy. The TIG shots look really cool with the new camera.
This is awesome! Nice work.
