I was working in my care home today doing some handyman work, i used the PT lots for tightening screws and using the pliers to untighten broken bolts on a hospital bed i had to dismantal and re-build in another room, i also used the blade on my tinker to open a few large boxes si a very Multi day  :D  :tu:


Cool :D Even the most boring job becomes pleasure when you use your multi :D  I also had a multi-day, although it was only lots of... postage box cutting & shapping & wrapping & unwrapping... lol

What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

Today my wife and I were out in the yard and the weed-eater broke down, instead of having to hike back up to the house to get my tools, I simply pulled out my LM Wave and had things up and running in no time. My wife was VERY impressed, and is even talking about letting me buy her a Micra! Life is good.

I've been using my camo Surge for last few days. I've done some repairs in the garden and both blades have been useful. Actually  most what I've done could have been done just by Surge but for cutting I had my Knipex pliers and for screws a Wera driver set - I just love those and gotta admit that specific tools are often handier than jack-of-all-trades. But probably all that could have been done by Surge, that should be tried one day.

Use the LM ST300 to install a new clothesline.
The cutters did an OK job of cutting the stranded wire. The hard wire cutters did a beter job this time than the Stranded wire cutters of the tool.

They still required a few passes to cut it though.

The pliers worked fine for pulling the wire.

The file failed at cutting it fast enough; so I used the cutters.

Yesterday I used my Handyman to fix a ticketing needle gun so I could finish attaching new product information graphics to some backpacks.

I used my cybertool to take apart my dell laptop to get at the LCD backlight.

I always use the proper tools for the job when I can.  Multitools are more of a "save my ass" or convenience thing.  I suppose that's why I love the skeletool so much.  Anything more than a blade, pliers, screwdriver and I'd rather go to my toolboxes.

I cut away some fiberous debris from a garden tiller with the serrated blade on my Rebar.  It might be the first time I have ever found a use for a serrated blade.

'Some... debris"?   :rofl:   

Looks like it got caught in a brush pile.

You really should have declared that someone is your uncle in order to do that. 

Glad the Rebar was there to save the day!

I used my Rebar last night to help Mod my blast.  I put some serious pressure on the pliers and they worked beautifully.
