I think there was also a slingshot thread some long time ago.

Anyway interesting solution to securing the bands

I cut up an apple on the train, cut and filed my wife's pinky fingernails with the Mountaineer. (she claims to keep them long for scratching itches; I think it's nose-picking...)

Refurbishing a "refurbished" Canon Multifunction printer. (MFP).

The scissors are the perfect size for pruning my Bonsai so I don't remove to much.

Used the Spirit X to do an antenna project for my ham radio.

The co-ax strippers on the chisel work GREAT:

using the Spirit as a miniature vise:

job's done, time for libations:

Used my Squirt to tighten a phillips screw on the bottom of a school bus seat.

Used my swisschamp scissors to open a stubborn slim jim and the small blade to open a package.

Used swisschamp to assemble otterbox for new iPad and Rebar to remove the theft protection plastic from the box.

Used my Leatherman Squirt ES4 knife to carefully open a new SD Card for my Samsung camera.

Sent from my Note 4

Opened several bottles of hard root beer with the Spirit X:

I have to remember that rubber band trick.

Work has been crazy lately, and as one of the assistant warehouse managers, I'm all over the place. Pallets and crates need to be repaired, bands have to be cut, packages opened, furniture taken apart/put together, etc. My multis have gotten one hell of a workout, often in the hands of others under close supervision.

Both the Spirit RT and the MP600 have performed flawlessly.

Victorinox Explorer to open packages from the supermarket.

Leatherman Wave to file my toenails.

Victorinox Cadet Silver Alox to file my fingernails.

in_sympathy · **Reply #4935 on:** September 01, 2015, 09:12:35 PM

Disassembled and cleaned a Victorinox alarm clock (mainly it's contacts) that was not in use for a few years with a battery inside with my Wave and its sunglasses screwdriver

The Victorinox scissors for removing half a dozen of small plastic cable ties.

SOG Switchplier 2 to fix a stapler. sadly no pics

My wife made me proud today. We were at Pizza Hut, and our toddler daughter got a few things out of the gumball machines. She had a couple little bouncy balls, and got one of them stuck in the plastic bubble belonging to one of the other little toys she got. We couldn't get it out, and my wife asked what to do, and I said we'd have to break it. She pulls the BORebar I gave her recently out of her pocket with a grin on her face knowing I would be surprised and pleased at the same time. She then used the pliers to grab and twist the bubble container until it broke apart enough to get the ball out.

I did tell her she should carry that in her purse instead of leaving it in the bottom of her bag of crafting supplies like she initially did. I had recently "borrowed" it back from her for a week, and then just gave it back to her a couple days ago, under the condition that she would keep it in her purse, otherwise it does no good. So I guess I'm starting to get through to her finally

I used my Swisscard Lite to remove a splinter today. It was great, with its pin, tweezers, and magnifier!

Used my Surge to open up the washing machine to see if the noise it's making is easily identifiable and repairable. Worked a treat.

Of course, the noise is coming from the bearings and nothing easy to fix. It's about 3 weeks out of warranty too.

I came home from work and I carried my Tinker that day. I was looking around for my Crater C33T and found it upstairs out in the open. I thought I left it out there by accident. I asked Mrs. TJ and it turns out she used it to put together a carpet shampooer.

Smaug · **Reply #4943 on:** September 15, 2015, 03:38:05 AM

Used my Explorer Plus to whittle a stick for marshmellows for my Boy Scout son, who forgot his SAK on the first Boy Scout meeting.

So much for "Be Prepared."

styx · **Reply #4944 on:** September 15, 2015, 06:39:45 AM

The scissors on the modded Rebar are damn good for blister killing

magentus · **Reply #4945 on:** September 15, 2015, 12:51:17 PM

Used my Spirit to fix a light fitting for one of my residents. Coupled with my Greenwood and a hammer I'm pretty sorted at work.

Mextreme · **Reply #4946 on:** September 15, 2015, 02:49:59 PM

Used the file on the PS4 to make a quickfix of some teeth of a gear on a RC car that had a mishap. Allowed my son to continue racing. The small thin file was as made for the task. It was easy to reprofile the teeth. Later we upgraded to a metal gear. PS4 is such a great EDC.

A passing motorist threw a used baby diaper onto my front yard.

I picked the diaper up using the PowerPlay PT-510 pliers and transported it to the garbage.
