The geyser inside my roof broke down this morning at 05h30.

I used my ST300 to open the side plates and the top.

Over the last few days, I've used a Spirit, Octane, MP400, Core, and my modified "Roundhouse" Kick to put together a bentwood hat stand, shoe rack, bed, pine dresser (one of those with the cupboards below and glass fronted display cabinet thingy on top), bookcase, coffee table, dining table ... and there's probably other stuff I've forgot.

All the tools performed admirably (Octane's package opener has done a LOT of work), but the start of the show has probably got to be an axe I got off Sparky at last years meet. Neither I nor either of the two joiners who have been round so far have had the intelligence to bring a hammer  ::) so the square(ish) poll of the axe has saved the day on several occasions - putting backs on the large furniture, pinning architrave round the boiler hatch, plus general "adjusting" tasks.

While I'd like to give a great story, my girlfriend didn't say what happened but I'd assume it got snagged in the dryer.

I don't often fix bra hooks,

but when I do

I used my powerlock wirecutters and pliers to make something like a crocheting needle for paracord out of a coathanger.

Used my Gerber MP600 Pro Scout to try and fix a garage door remote opener (it was DOA unfortunately), and later opened a bottle of apple cider to enjoy on the patio. Great day!

Used the Philips screwdriver in the LM ST300 to tighten some screws on a playpen.

Used to jeweler flathead on my Leatherman Wave to disassemble the scissors on an old SAK Explorer, then used the diamond file to sharpen the scissors, and reassembled. I'm liking the Wave more every time I pick it up.

I used the blade on my Charge Tti to open the package that my new SAK SwissTool Spirit Plus w/Ratchet came in.

I used a Leatherman Wave to open a #10 can of beans.
I used a Sheffield 1200E to open a #10 can of beans.
I used a Victorinox Tinker to open a #10 can of beans.

I have a lot of beans in my freezer now. :D
