I used my Wave to help build my new work desk.

A new use for my gen1 PST today:
Went to get the mail from the mailbox. The Postmistress had jammed the mail in so hard, and it was about 6 inches deep into the box before the first piece could be grabbed. Hands/fingers were no use.
Out came the PST, and a few seconds later the box was empty.

Closing down my cabin for the upcoming winter.

Used my BO Wave to change batteries at my home alarm sirens.

Like that bottom pic. Nice looking Wave BTW. I love when the BO gets that worn in look.

Yeaaa me to that is why 90% of my LM's are BO. By the way this wave opens and closes at least 10 times/day at work..

I used my Rebar to cut tons of tape and zip ties on my sons birthday toys, and also to remove the 147,000 little phillips screws that hold every single toy to it's damn package. I had to do some minor repair on the foot of his new RC t rex. One of the rollers in the foot got jammed, so I used my phillips to open it up and reset the pin so it won't get stuck again.

Used my trusty PST II to install a new cable modem and router. 100 MB download speeds !!!!

AaronX · **Reply #1663 on:** October 19, 2014, 06:17:03 AM

Used my Rebar to cut and strip a coat hanger. I thought it would have trouble but looks like coat hanger wire isn't too hard. Used the file to reshape a plastic latch.

haackeg · **Reply #1664 on:** October 19, 2014, 08:54:30 AM

Setting up Halloween decorations with my Rebar. Also, some quick pruning with the wire cutters.

CafeRacer · **Reply #1665 on:** October 21, 2014, 06:44:12 PM

Had to do a little cutting used my wave. Love this thing.

I carried my Wave today and used the heck of it. I hung a mirror and used the blade trim a wall anchor. Used the flat driver to make adjustments on my Coleman stove fuel tank. Used the pliers to tighten some screws and the saw to cut some bracing for a shelf. The Wave is a terrific tool that came in handy throughout my day today.

Wow. Full disclosure here. I had some friends start carrying a leatherman in the late 80's and I thought it was a giant piece of trash. hard to work,good for nothing.
Then less than a week ago i got my wave. In the last two days I used the scissors to trim my nails,the pliers and can opener to work on a couple flashlights, The wire cutters to work on electric fence and the knife to cut a bunch of stuff. I did all of this without carrying the whole pocketful of tools i would usually need for these jobs.
I am so happy with my wave I bought a surge off of ebay.

If you like the Wave the Surge is pretty much as awesome.

Pleasantly surprised again today. I thought "when will I ever use a file". Tonight I needed to jump start my tractor. My jumper cables were rusted and I couldn't get a connection. In the past i would have tried to scratch them up with my knife. Tonight I filed them shiny and they worked great.

Today I used my Juice S2's medium flat head to adjust my hair clippers.

I was just about to open a bottle of champagne and the metal twist tab broke. Trusty Style PS to the rescue.

rongallo · **Reply #1675 on:** November 02, 2014, 10:09:30 PM

Used my Crater C33T to trim a few branches from a backyard bush.

Monrogue · **Reply #1676 on:** November 04, 2014, 02:18:30 PM

Yesterday I used my ReCharge TTi's pliers to loosen the bended ends of several heavy duty staples holding thick stacks of documents together, so that I could separate them and put them through our large shredder machine.

willym1 · **Reply #1677 on:** November 04, 2014, 03:58:42 PM

Used my Wave to put together the majority of my new PC, as well many different roles while installing new vinyl floor in my house.

rongallo · **Reply #1678 on:** November 04, 2014, 11:43:32 PM

Used my Crater C33T at work to replace a missing screw on an incubator.

hank.rearden.7777019 · **Reply #1679 on:** November 05, 2014, 03:51:21 AM

Used my wave today for exactly the reason I bought it. Had it on me when I spotted broken fence. Fixed the fence then came home and used the bit driver to build a pc.
