If you're looking for information on customing harmonicas try 
http://customharmonicas.com/r-sleigh/

Richard Sleigh has a great book available on this subject.  He also 
sells very elegant evolved useful tool kits.  The only Lee Oskar 
specific thing you'll be missing will be the reed wrench.  Lee Oskar 
reeds are narrower than the Hohner versions.  The LO kit that Rick 
mentions is nice enough and it was the first one I ever bought.  I still 
have it and use several of the tools on a regular basis.  The Richard 
Sleigh kit is more intensive and complete and not a whole lot much more 
in terms of the cash outlay.  People will tell you that you can assemble 
the tools required to work on harmonicas for very little money.  This is 
true all you need is time and inclination.  However many of us just want 
to cut to the chase.  We want to cheat and have someone assemble the 
tools for us.

To answer your question, yes Lee Oskar harmonicas can be improved upon.  fjm
