What did you use your Leatherman for today?

One of the task's required of the Surge today. A pistachio shell cracker :-)

LOL! Good one...

Used my Juice S2 to fix two Anderson screen doors. One needed the adjuatable sweep raised up as it was rubbing. Used the wire cutters to cut an over-swing chain that wasn't attached to anything. Then I ajusted the latch and gave it a few shots of WD-40. Other one just needed the latch adjusted.

Then I disabled the door bell (removed terminals from transformer) because people insist on riging the door bell multiple times waking up my 6 month old from his nap.

Last thing I did was replace a HVAC vent.

My Juice S2 was on fishing duty, well sort of... 

My 3 yr old daughter got her new princess fishing pole out.  Used to wire cutters to clip the zip ties that packaged it, and used the scissors to free the line and clean up the knot I tied on the rubber practice weight (to practice casting).  Well, she's 3, so "casting" involved pushing the button and watching the little rubber fish fall to the ground.  But she is now very good at reeling it back in, as we repeated this process for about 30 minutes    We'll keep practicing.

Did this almost a year ago. Despite signs telling people to not harass me at the door, they insist on ringing. The worst part is it would set the dog off .

On an MT related note, I used a modded Wave to do that job .

Got to start them young . Mine aren't there yet, but I've got more gear than I can shake a (very big) stick at, so they'll have plenty to play with when they are ready .

Yeah she wasn't interested in my pile of gear, but a pink princess set up sure got her attention.

Used my Surge to help remove and install a new radiator and brake lines on a GMC Jimmy and help do some welding on a Ford Escape.

Every time I see that Surge I want to do that myself!

I used the Rebar to install some new HID spotlights on the Hilux over the weekend. I tapped into the high beam wiring so it triggers a relay and runs the spots direct from the battery.

I quickly found out they're FAR too bright to have on the road all the time (they're insanely bright) so today I installed an isolator switch so I can disable them from the high beams when I want.



The Charge (which I used today) let me down. I had to go get my screwdriver set and crimpers. Describing the screwdriver reach as "poor" is being kind (especially with the pocket clip... but it's too handy not to have), and I really miss not having the electrical crimpers on my other Leathermans. It's such a great idea to have.

Used my Skele to open a drink for my wife.

I've been using my flair instead of plastic forks when I go places. I guess Leatherman is saving the environment

I made these hand crafted, wooden, flowers using my Charge TTI.

Switched the (very hot nozzle) on my gas powered soldering iron combo tool from heat gun to blow torch while trying to free up a 1933 Morris Cowley damper unit. Neither worked, and heating up over a gas camping stove saved the day

Cut some zip ties and small wire with the Rebar today!

[Toolslinger]

SurCharge has been opening packages and snacks. Also it's on general fiddle duty while I wait for things to finish .

My Hilux had a bad case of Diesel bug a couple of months ago. I've had the tank removed and blasted and I've replaced the fuel filter (and it gets some diesel treatment every tank), but it's started running like a dog again.

I stopped by the auto shop and grabbed a new filter. I had the Kick on me today so I used that to swap it out.



She runs great again now.

Cut the plastic wrap off of a box of Taylor's tea using my Charge's straight blade.

I used the philips driver on my skeletool to open a drain

[GEARHEAD_ENG]

Replaced a sump pump with my Charge tti... saw blade cut through 1-1/2 pvc easily. Used the blade and file to debur the pipe, pliers to trim some zip ties, and then the flat blade to tighten the clamps. One tool, one job.

[RimfireNZ]

I've accidentally driven down the road with my rear spotlight on twice now, so I used my Blast to pull the switches for the light out, then install it in the dash (instead of by the hand brake) and installed an annoying buzzer so I know if it's on or not.

It's messy but I was using scraps of wire I had around as I didn't have my full electrical toolkit on me.



I used the knife to make a little foam enclosure for it as it's a bit loud. I ended up making a bigger, fully sealed one after this.

Used my Lm Surge for all kinds of uses. Cutting wire. Sawing wood. Used the diamond file to sharpen an old chisel. Most interesting thing I used my Surge for was at a wreck site, Used it to cut some bandages, cut a wirefence, opened some regular bandages for a EMT. Used the knife and saw on my Surge help cut some brush to help out the officers, EMTs and Firefighters to do there job easier.

I extended the handles of my BORebar and deployed the metal file to reach and retrieve a battery that fell and rolled underneath our dresser.  Uses like this are one of the reasons I sometimes prefer the tools on the inside configuration

[Rossko07]

BO Surge had a field day today. Many uses pulling parts off decommissioned machines at work.

Used the awl for picking out screw caps


Phillips bit driver to remove said screws


Used a 4mm allen key bit to remove mounting screws. No pic.

First use of my hack saw blade. Used it cut off a cable from an old vacuum. Couldn't get the surges pliers around the whole cable so this really worked a treat.


Again, used an Allen key bit, 3mm this time to remove an old switch panel.


Used it a heap more for similar tasks but no pics. Love this tool.

[antouant]

Used my BO Rebar to play around with my 3 year old son in the garden. He is learning early the importance of MT's;)

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ......

I used my Charge Tti to remove the fuel tank of my Petter A1 so I could fit it the boot (trunk) of my car.

The woman who was there when I picked it up said I was lucky to have it on me, honestly if I hadn't been occupied with the fuel tank I would have said something 

[TheAverageJoe]

my wave got some use today, attaching a moneybox to the wall, and micra for facial grooming
