I usedvthe MP400 scissors to snip tags on some new clothes. Pliers to pull a couple twigs up from between boards on the deck, and to fix a clasp on a bracelet.

I put my PST and uPioneer to use this morning at work while testing/fixing some used desk calculators. The thrills of office work

But not without an element of danger. You could get a nasty splinter off that plywood!

Whoa, I didn't realize how close I came to severe injury there :0. Thanks for pointing that out

I used the Surge to tighten the frying pan handle before cooking dinner.

Far from the first time I've heard that observation.....

I used the pliers on my Vic Hercules to remove two watch pins from the band of a watch.

Used my MUT with T-20 driver to change the bolts and jaws on my Oakley Jawbone sunglasses. Out are the blue bolts and white jaws and in with chrome bolts with blue jaws now.

Helped a neighbour replace his outside light. Had to salvage an old electrical box to build a three way waterproof junction box, reroute some cables, and repair his porch roof.

Lots of dedicated tools used, but the MP426 mod proved extremely useful too, cutting cables, twisting and trimming single core twin and earth, salvaging the old connection box, clipping cable ties, pulling old cable clips. You certainly appreciate multitools more when you face surprise challenges up a ladder. The OHO pliers were very useful

I used my Spirit and Opinel today while putting together and installing 3 25m hosereels at work.

I used the Opi to cut the hose to length between the reel and the tap, then the Spirit to screw various bits together and then fix the reels to the wall.

I didn't take pics as I'm sure it wouldn't go down well with my residents

They can't even see the point of me carrying a Multitool or SAK around despite the miriad times I have fixed something for them with it. Oh well.

I used the scissors on my Hercules to cut extra nylon cord from the weed whacker.

My Schrade Tough Tool is on work duty as of now, so it probably saw the most use in a single day of any of my tools. Had to weed whack for 4 hours, with the wrong string so there was a lot of replacing done. Small driver pushed the broken ends out, pliers grabbed them.

Then had to demo two stair sets and forgot my tool bag so only had the Tough Tool and a size 13 boot, used the busted phillips to successfully take out about 50 screws, then a swift boot dealt with the nails.

Then I set up 4 swing sets using just that and a pair of Channel locks. Pretty interesting day for the poor old girl, but it worked quite well.

Used the Spirit remove and replace a chilled water valve actuator. It handled all the screws, connectors, bolts, and re-wiring without a support team. Was on a rooftop trying to beat a sand storm that was blowing in and didn't want to have to make a run to the van and back to get dedicated tools. He wasn't the right tool for every aspect of the job, but he was the one that got it done right and in time. Well played Vic.

I hope you guys wear safety goggles whilst weed whacking... I know I always will from now on: http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/68540142/nail-shoots-into-eye-after-weedwhacker-accident

Rebat helped with some plumbing chores today. Trimming PVC pipe, undoing a stuck nut, and cleaning out the old 90 degree joint with the reamer. Then we sawed through some old PVC pipe so it was small enough to throw away. Then the Rebar had to go to bed because it slipped while closing and gave me a blood blister.

Farmer to kill a few wires

ToolJoe · **Reply #4821 on:** May 17, 2015, 01:47:40 PM

Actually mrs. Tj used it but she used my crater c33t to cut some holes near the belt loops to loosen up my pants before a formal banquet last night. The pants are a little form fitting for a lack of better terms.

stealth007s · **Reply #4822 on:** May 17, 2015, 01:51:14 PM

I used the Spirit X to uninstall a towel dispenser at the shop and reinstall a new one

stealth007s · **Reply #4823 on:** May 21, 2015, 07:37:50 AM

I had to make an extension for a guitar cable this evening so I used the Spirit X knife and wire cutters to strip the wire and the pliers to crimp the jack to the wire.

ToolJoe · **Reply #4824 on:** May 21, 2015, 04:23:58 PM

I used the awl on my Tinker to open up a container of ground turkey for dinner last night.
