Does the head come off of the Dorcy Metal Gear?

They use some sort of liquid thread locker to keep the head on. It does unscrew in a conventional manner. I had to use two adjustable "Crescent" wrenches to get mine apart.

Once you do get it apart there's not much to look at. You'd really have to be dedicated to mod that thing; everything's pretty tightly assembled (glued?) inside.

I've unscrewed a couple bare handed and cold, but there is some thread locker in there, so heating it up some should reduce the force required to crack it loose. I use a hobby heat gun when needed.
