I used my Swiss Champ to tighten the cat scratching post and to cut some tags.  I used my Fenix E15 several times already  :tu:
The SwissChamp is the most useful tool ever invented.

This is my day off work, so I'll post something about what I did yesterday. 

We had a Turkish Airlines Boeing 777 that came in and the locks that keep all the ULD containers with luggage was frozen.  I used the blade on my LM skeletool to dig away at the ice and managed to kick free the lock.

My multitool saved an hour long wait for the 100-200 passengers.

I have been doing some repairs at home so I used the awl on a SAK to make a starter hole for a screw on the bottom of a door.

I then tried to use the file on the LM ST300 to file the heads of some screws on the door handles, with little success...

Then I tried the file on the strike plate of a door (softer steel) to make a hole bigger, with some success….. , then got a dremmel style tool and did the job properly...

I also used regular screwdrivers, a portable bench and a belt sander but who cares about these …  :D

Now, I went to a shop and there was a coin stuck in the release hole of a trolley... Unfortunately I did not have a pliers tool on me. If I did, I could have gotten half a Euro :( . It pays to be prepared for all...

ST300 got the call to replace kitchen ceiling flo lighting..got to bring one jack-of-all-trade high up on ladder:-)
Good to get phillips, wire cutter/stripper/crimper, awl for pilot...
2 shortcomings...wish the phillip's end is magnetised to hold screw in first place...and encountered frame flex on the last final few turn on high resistance...out come ordinary phillip scrwdrvr!..

Used the nail file on a Mini Bear Jaws to try and get most of the gunk out of my Deluxe Tinker. It had lost all it's snap, and the innards were that gritty the springs and scales creaked and crunched when trying to use it. It's better now after an hour with tissue, the nail cleaner, the hot tap and copious amounts of WD40, but it's still a long way from clean. Short of an ultrasonic cleaner I don't think it's going to get much better though

Just ten minutes ago, fitted a new rear high level brake light using my new but old and battered KF4, great little tool regardless of its well used figure :tu: and yesterday using the same tool removed a faulty washing machine door closed switch and a PC PSU. In about hour from now I will be using the KF4 to refit a new door switch and a new PC PSU :) So quick question, what's the current equivalent to the KF4 :think:
