Pliers straight out of pkg but no instructions. HOW do you get the jaws to separate? What is the tiny drawing of on the front of one of the jaws? An arrow? Implying WHAT? Thanks.

The arrow indicates that is where top hat goes, the visible part. The hole part is crap, mine broke first use. I removed tiny set screw at bottom and took all out. loosen the thumb screw at the top of punch, move slide forward and check spring inside handle is attached. I still use mine, great for small grommet.

I'm not sure about your question. The plier is poorly made of a weak material. It bent or break instead of pressing. not worth for any work.

The screw extractors are used when the depression in the phillips head is wallowed out. Not very effective if there are no ends left on the outside of the phillips depression in the screw head, but they might work for small screws. On the other side of the extractors are regular driving bits. You just pull the driver shank out ,reverse the orientation so that the driver you want is sticking out, and push them back into the driver shank. I can say they are tough and good quality steel. I pulled one shank out with a small flat driver and put it deep into a wallowed out phillips screw until I felt it bite. I used a pair of pliers to turn the shank and felt sure the small flat head would be twisted. I was amazed to find out that the flat head did not twist under the torque of the pliers. It just wallowed the area out more. I wound up taking a sharp pointed diamond burr bit (cone shaped tapered burr narrowing to a small point at the end).Placed it on my Dremel type tool at low speed and cut a notch on each side of the cone shaped phillips wallowed out area. Just enough to get a small regular flat blade driver to match the slot. I was abled to extract the screw with this technique. As it was a computer, I couldn't use a round Dremel cutting disk as it would have cut the case. Amazon has a set for about $13 or so ( SE Diamond Burr Set - 150 Grit). If you want an excellent small precision screw driver set for a computer I would suggest StarTech.com 7-Piece Precision Screwdriver Computer Tool Kit on Amazon. These are the best drivers I have ever bought because they are magnetic. They hold a tiny screw like glue when you mate them up to the proper sized driver. These screws are so tiny that you can barely pick them up, much less place them and start them in the tiny holes of a laptop. And woe, if you drop one and it rolls under the mother board or some other in-accessible nook and cranny. Hope this helps.

I've taken similar ones apart before, all you need is a long small Phillips screwdriver. I just hope you had better luck with yours than I did, I didn't use it for a few weeks after I got it and after about two days it started making such a racket it was a joke, after I let it run for a few hours it works fine but as soon as I have time it's coming apart for an overhaul.

I got no instructions either. But I figured it out. Good luck. Fairly straightforward, but that's not fair since I had a friends manfroto grip and I was cheap and got this one.

Oh boy! I have no idea. I bought this for my boyfriend with specific instructions! I'm sorry I can't be much help, tools are not my thing! Good luck to you.

Got it!!!! Thanks so much. Comes apart just above soft grip. Took quite a bit of pressure for me.

Thanks for the reply ... I mailed leatherman and they confirmed what you said, thanks again for the info. Now I just wish my skeletool would hurry up and get delivered! :)

Thanks so much for posting this. The butter knife trick worked like a charm. I didn't have a lot of luck working the two halves back and forth, but did find that inserting a thin flat screwdriver blade and using that to pry the two pieces apart made it easy (after the butter knives were installed). Thanks again!

I haven't found any written but they're pretty straight forward. This is what I do: 1. Unlock tool so that the mouth is open 2. I place the pin in the jaws with the tab still attached(it can be used as a gauge so you get consistent crimp lengths) 3. Squeeze jaws slowly (you want to hear it click a couple of times) to hold the pin 4. Insert stripped wire (you want to push it in til the insulation clears the first tabs) 5. Squeeze the jaws the rest of the way til the tool releases 6. Remove crimped connector & wire (remember to remove tab) 7. Insert connector(s) into housing pushing til they lock in. I've uploaded some pics of the process the way I do it, I hope this helps. These have saved me lots of time when making custom cables.

I did not receive any instructions with mine. They can be a little difficult to figure out, but I don't think anyone should have a problem. Just play around with them and look at the picture for a guide.Also, they probably require a special crimping tool, but needle nose pliers seem to work just fine.

They didn't send any instructions, this was the same question I asked them and it is frustrating. I use a knife to pry it off.

There should be a small hole on the bottom (middle of the bottom)...we inserted an unfolded paperclip and wiggled until it opened. We had trouble with this too and also wondered why there were no tools/instructions included...Sorry I can't be more helpful!!

Help-- I cannot figure out how to get the inner chamber seal off. I tried a screwdriver, pliers, my fingers, they do not fit!!! how do you open this stuff??

If it is plastic screws, you line the groves together and slide the screw in. It's really simple. Hope this helps!

I had to figure this out too. Unscrew the Phillips screw holding the handle on from inside the handle, pull the handle completely off, the reattach the handle in the orientation you need it to be.The manual doesn't reference how to do this anywhere that I could find, but the box has instructions on one of the flaps that I found after the fact.

Just pull it with a small pliers. It should come out. It is just clipped not soldered
