What did you use your Leatherman for today?

My kid just borrowed the Surge to open a packet of noodles. Kids these days.

After hitting my thumb twice while driving some small wire nails into a book case I was building, I used the pliers on my PST to hold the nails while starting them. It worked out quite well. tom.

I'm growing to like the PST2 more and more.

One of the computers had work had the wireless card crap out on it so I've removed that and as a workaround made a network cable using the PST and cat5 crimpers.

The serrations on the blade were perfect for resting the cable on and turning to trim off the outer cover. The scissors trimmed the excess fibre stuff to get that out of the way, and the wire cutters trimmed everything to length.

Used the Micra to nub a Punch Rare Corojo while I smoked it at the shop

Somehow, that just doesn't seem fair. Aside from the fact that I think I can smell that from here...which then remindeth me that I haven't had a cigar in almost two years! Wow; how the hell did that happen??

You give me an idea. Now - if I could combine it with a Leatherman somehow...and a showgirl...hmmmm...

If your child is using a Surge, then he's going to be *OK*...

I used my Crunch [good grief; what a great tool] minimally, but to some effect. That is, in replacing the bathroom double sink, it held the broken SS brush as I attempted [over and over] to clean the pipe threads. If logistics had allowed, I absolutely would have used the Crunch for everything. Alas, it took some serious mother plumbing tools to get the previous fittings off [read: straddling the cabinetry to get one of the bugger's off] at the pipe. Used the Surge to trim off excess around the pipes where they meet the wall. Oh, and earlier, used the MUT to hammer the drain plug control [whatever...] out.

Beer never tastes as good as when you've used your Leatherman tools as much as humanly possible. Which - OK - today wasn't exactly THAT - nevertheless, my previous statement stands.

Used my ST300 to fix my kitchen doorlock. I was in shover and my kids might have been hassling with the lock. Lock jammed, and nearly left me the other side of the house.

+1 I like to hear stuff like this

Sawman, its actually Surge that i got from you.

If I'm not wrong that outboard is 89 years old, quite reliable thing for being that old.

I thought that looked familier. I'm glad it went to a good home

Used my PST to open my new Samsung Tablet and repair my wife's Blackberry.

I used my Supertool to pull and sometimes twist at some nails we were removing from some boards at our house.

Teamed my OHT up with my Vic Explorer to open a reluctant can on air gun pellets.

Sounds like overkill( looked like it too!) but it ended up being a challenge

Used the Wave to take out the tiny glass ball out of an empty whiskey bottle.......

I used my Supertool's medium flathead driver to remove a couple light switch covers.

BobG · **Reply #1522 on:** August 03, 2014, 05:07:42 AM

Just got a Crunch and today I used it to repair my lawn sprnkler system. It was perfect for getting into the hole and gripping the irrigation pipe. I used the serrated knife blade to cut the risers. All in all, I was very happy with it's performance. I will use it as a supplement to my ST300 and I also carry a Kershaw Select Fire so with these 3 tools I can cover a lot of applications.

So, just a good flashlight and a good bitset and you're covered.

Not sure how a MT helps tie leaders.

For me it would just get in the way and take up use of a hand, but if it works for you then all the better.

EDIT: Actually pulling the hook (to tighten the knot) with the pliers might be much safer and work out well.

bdAmmo · **Reply #1527 on:** August 10, 2014, 05:50:26 AM

You got it Capt. I use the pliers to hold the hook while I tighten the knot. And the scissors to cut the line to length and trim the tag ends.

Makes sense.

Used my Fuse to open a paint can with a stuck lid. All prying under the rim did was unroll it.
