A Leatherman addition I’ve been missing, the wrench! It's actually the second thing I've been missing since I made the Leatherman Horizontal Sheath :-)

Supplies

Small wrench 10mm width

Pipe 16mm, wall 1.5mm

Welding equipment

File and grinder to make it pretty!

Step 1: What the Leatherman!!!

I love my Leatherman and have it with me wherever I go, but I’ve missed one tool…

The WRENCH!

So I finally made a wrench that fits onto the Leatherman pliers and when not in use dangles on my keychain. A few instructables a go I made EDC keychain entery, this is a new favorite member in the EDC family.

Step 2: Pliers VS Wrench

I use the pliers all the time, they have a nice grip.

Still, it happens that they slip and ruin my nuts (&/or bolts).

So coming up with this little addition to my Leatherman made a lot of sense. Why hasn't Leatherman or anyone else done this?

Wrench 1 nill!

Step 3: Cut - Weld - Grind

I’m not a pro welder, but this task was pretty straightforward. I found a round pipe that would allow for the pliers to be inserted and the wrench inside made a snug fit and something to bite onto. Drilled a hole to attach to the keychain.

Step 4: Snap to Fit…

Step 5: Useful?

You betcha! I've made use of this little nugget several times. Even works for some jobs without the torque of the Leatherman. When this prototype is having its last days I might use a higher quality wrench, but for the types of job, I use this for it's plenty fine.
