I was looking online at the crazy prices of the lanyard beads so I decided to browse around the shop and see what I could use instead of the obvious. Turns out the wing nut is already my favourite lanyard addition. I can hang the wing nut on the edge of my pocket (only on the leatherman for testing rn; yes I know I have a belt clip on there too), or on a thin rope tying down a tarp while camping for example. I've got a thick work coat with deep top flap pockets on the front that it hangs perfectly in as well. Also is nice for an easy two finger pull if it's just hanging while using the belt clip. Gonna start thinking more unconventional for lanyard beads/charms going forward, already hit paydirt on this one IMO.
1x Stainless steel wing nut (snug over top of a snake knot and capped with a cobra knot to keep it in place at the end)
1x Leatherman Wave Alpha Cascadia (for post compliance)

So you’re using as a tiny grappling hook? I like it. I don’t use lanyards, but I like it
