Ì use a micro punch to repeen the pivot and bolster pins on knives that have loosened up. I took a 1/8" long shank punch and put it in my drill press on low speed and filed it to size and polished it as it was spinning in order to not get it off center. I have several in diffetent diameters to fit different knife brands and models. You can use a nail also. File it to size, then harden the end. It works just fine but doesn't last long.

Interesting video. I’m 66 now. And started out in a very tough generic scooter. I gave it to the youngsters after 15 years. I’m using Micro-Scooters now. Mainly because they’re available locally to me. I always pack on in the car. I have two. A 145mm wheel one, and the 200mm/ 8 inch wheel versions. I also use electric scooters too. But can scoot up to 10 miles no problem. I also use your little foot trick to change feet. I’m a size 11, so space is limiited. The workout one gets from scooter riding is very good for all the muscles.
