I have this exact model &amp; it does have a handcuff key, but What purpose is served by being able to unscrew the glass break tip?

I bought this item a while back and Mine doesn't have a handcuff key. Maybe the replaceable glass breaker is so you can replace the glass breaker.

No it does not , one end is a pen the other is a tip used to break glass .it's meant to extradite a person from a vehicle in a emergency.

It doesn't unscrew, it is a press fit. I took a pair of pliers and squeezed hard and twisted the tip out then just pushed the new tip on using the pliers on metal edges of the tip. Hope that helps.

I have the same model. My kids are grown so I have no use for the key, so I taped it in the keyhole. I notice that turning the key pivots a block in between the plug extensions. I read and see that you must push the key in before turning it. So I experimented with a screwdriver. I found it very easy to push-in on the flat end of keyhole at the squared end (a popsicle stick would work fine). While it is held downward it is easy to push the plastic block out of the way with other hands index finger. Then you can plug a power cord into it in normal way. It is a bit like a kid safe bottle cap, in-that it makes it harder for unsupervised kids to hurt themselves or others. If you leave it unlocked, and you have young children, I would store the power cord away from the unit.

You use an allen wrench to attach the nub. You could simply unscrew it and remove it if you aren't going to use the lock anymore.

The top does unscrew off, but it is very tight. After removing the top, remove the O-ring very carefully by sliding it over the threads (do not use a knife, use a pair of tweezers or something blunt) and then slide off the pocket clip. Slide the O-ring back on, screw the top back on (hand tighten) and you are good to go. No need to use a dremel tool or cut it off.

If I recall correctly, the key is a plastic thing, relatively cheaply-made, designed to keep the power cord from pulling out while the machine is in use. If you can plug in, the key is probably not needed. You might want to wrap the cord around the loop below the handle to keep it from being pulled out. If you can't plug in, you might see if you can do something to get parts out of the way so you can. Good luck!

Yeah, it can be a bit stiff to unscrew, therefore making it less obvious. The tailcap is only the last few millimeters, so grip only that part. I needed a pliers with a towel around them (to prevent toolmarks) when my batteries *finally* died. I also had a little trouble figuring out where exactly to unscrew, so you're not alone.

It appears to be held in place with a metal retaining clip. I don't see any way to remove it completely, but cutting it off with hacksaw would work. There is a bit of sliding friction, I'm not sure if this would be a problem or not for you.

I have no trouble peeling/twisting the lock off with my fingers when it needs to be replaced. Using an adhesive remover may help this process, and removes any residue as well. The only reason my lock has needed to be replaced is from the occasional adult not realizing the lock is there and jerking the door open, which will break the lock. This is why it is a good idea to get at least one as a spare.

Take the tip and just twist 1/2 way and pull up it is a locking tab to relock for each use. Hope this helps.

The Quick disconnect dose not unscrew. You slide a peace of metal back and it pops off. It's like an air compressor tip.

The end just unscrews. No tools needed. There is a double gasket seal so it turn a little hard.

The glass breaker is on the rear end of the handle. Its a very solid knife so I have no reason to believe it wouldn't work, though that's not why I bought it and it does have a clip on it, if you've read a comment on it not having one. Its not a pocket knife per say. Its stout and heavy, perfect for what I bought it for, which is work, cutting, prying. I love the knife

Almost. It goues about 80% to the end then stops. the glass breaker/hammer (butt of knife) is seperated to prevent electrical shock if cuting through some sort of power line. Quite ingenerious, really. Remember, this is Gerber's answer to the Special Forces "wish list" so they must have felt a need for this feature. The glass filled nylon handles of the LMF II are overmolded with TPV, or ThermoPlastic Vulcanizate. It will NOT come off!

when I replaced mine, one of the keys was the screw holes/tabs along the top. If you have 2 or 3. might want to get to that point to take a look before you order.

Dont need a key... A small screw driver or knife will work. Just pop it in the hole and it will unlatch.
