Used my new (to me) BO MUT to harvest some zucchini, cut coated wire to tie up tomato plants, trim a broken piece on my lawn mower, cut some overhanging branches, tighten up a downspout extender and opener a couple of brews. Not bad for his first day on the job. :tu:

Glad it's getting the use it deserves!  :tu:

OHT cut some boxes, assembled some lamps, and looked great in its molle sheath on my pack  :drool:

Used my PST II's scissors to get my new (to me) used Super Tool out of its bubble mailer and the card it was taped to for some reason.

Used the Super Tool's saw as to test it out the way home from the mailbox.  Cuts quicker than those on SAKs!

Made a new screen.







Fix a shower head.



Install a new pull chain switch for a ceiling fans light.







Trim new weatherstripping for a door.



Using the handles on the SURGE as a large pair of pliers to remove plastic fitting.



The tool never stops amazing me.

It was a busy day for my Wave. We were installing a new siphon in the kitchen + connecting a second room to a cable TV network, so the large screwdriver, wire stripper, but driver/extender and the pliers had lots of stuff to do

Btw today was the first time I have used a saw on my Wave to cut a plastic pipe. It rocks

Have been making a set of custom rear drawers for my 4wd and have been carpeting the wood. The surges main blade has performed flawlessly cutting large sections of carpet.

The saw on my Blast made quick work of a couple small Box elder trees that were blocking a trail I walk my dog on.

Yep it was the perfect length. I used a full hex bit though which sink a bit deep in it, but still did the job well.

Open a paint can and cut some sandpaper so I could do some repairs around the house.

My PST II got a workout yesterday!  I cut zip straps, branches, and whittled marshmallow roasting sticks, and used the philips head screw driver to tighten the trigger assembly on my son's airsoft gun.  I also used the scissors at work to cut out a form for a coworker.  Busy day!

Lots of work today for my Wave and Led Lenser P5, while I have been restoring the grounding at my mother's apartment. Some *#%%* has cut the wire and I had to restore it. Cut and stripped the wire, used screwdriver and bits, file to clean the contacts a bit... Wave did great once again

Used my Wave to put on a separating board between two office tables at work today. My colleagues were impressed to say the least. They definitely didn't expect me to have a screwdriver in my pocket:).

So you can use it as a saw! I always wondered.

Used my Rebar to trim my basil tso I can hang and dry it for use as cooking spices. Those wire cutters are impressively sharp

Used my Wave a lot to cut and install two balcony shelves. What surprised me was that the saw on my LM did so much better than the old Soviet Union one, DeWalt and Craftsman. It just cuts through so fast and accurate! Those DeWalt and Craftsman blades were brand new, I just unpacked them, so I officially state that Wave's saw is remarkable to say the least. And of course bit extender and bit kit were my brilliant teammates on this mission:).

After everything was ready and I cleaned up the mess around I opened a nice bottle of ice cold fresh superb quality Ukrainian beer, so cheers everyone;)

P.S.: I don't have electricity at the balcony cause usually we don't need that, but I did all the job after work, so when it became dark Led Lenser P5 came in real handy
