What did you use your Leatherman for today?

i replaced some watch batteries with my wingman over the weekend. it made the job so easy. so i saved myself a trip to the watch shop and just did it myself.

i used the needle nose pliers to screw open the screw back of one of my fossils. and just use the blade to pry (

) another one of my watches open.

overall, it was enjoyable to do. =]

used the waves flat blade driver to turn on spigot cause the darn handle was missing. used the serrated blade to free air hose from its plastic banding and the saw to cut a rogue branch.

Wingman got a work out today. Putting blinds up. Pulling staples from wood trim, and carpet tack strip. Adjusting the laser sight on my wood chop saw.

Used my PST to put new license plates on my wife's car, then I used it to remove the foil from a container of baby food so we could microwave it.

Used my Crunch to remove a tent peg from (I think) a tree root. My friend noticed it was a bit hard to bang in, so she just kept hitting harder with her hammer.

I strongly suggested not to do that in future as I (and my Crunch) might not be around and she'll end up leaving her portable gazebo behind if she can't get the peg out. The hammer wasn't any help at all removing it. Lots of twisting (rotating) and pulling at the same time finally got it out, and I couldn't have done the job without locking pliers of some kind. For a relatively compact tool the Crunch is quite robust.

Took apart my windmill blades and refitted everything with new washers, bolts, and cotter pins.
Used my Leatherman Wave and SpiritX because I was too lazy to go and get my socket set.

Used my ST200 to undo a knot in a ratchet strap.

Cut zip ties holding can lights to a back drop frame with my S4 after a video shoot today.

wave and a bit helped me loosen those window locks. home owner forgot where she put her little tool that came with them. easy deal with all the different bits, I used to just clamp on and turn but it messes up the threads. I love not running back to my truck for allen keys or bits when I have my wave.

Mini tool saw some good use today. I opened some charcoal, a very hot vent on a little charcoal grill, and fixed the split ring on Ash's collar.

This is why I love the mini tool. On a day where you don't think you will need pliers, you can still bring it along just in case. (although I also had a wave and sak pliers on me

)

Took off some door hardware with the wave and bit extension to do some painting.

Thank you. As I said his name is Ash. He is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and I have another named Lola. I also have a great dane named Russo who attacks them

The rebar got a little workout. This particle board for shelves came wrapped up in that metal belting. No dykes or shears around so the rebar had to do. Clamped down and did some twisting.Not the best application for the Rebar,but they made due. Broke the belts with no lost limbs. I hate that metal binding on shipments.

DeezNittles · **Reply #378 on:** June 22, 2013, 04:08:22 AM

Used my ST300 to assist in changing a headlight. It performed admirably!

Monrogue · **Reply #379 on:** June 22, 2013, 04:24:18 AM

I used the Rebar at work to cut down/resize a cardboard box for a lady to use as safe deposit box card filing/storage in her file cabinet. Nothing major, but I couldn't find any box that met the size/dimensions required to fit in the drawer, so I made one fit

my crunch, opened my wine and sliced my cheese.

THE_LONGBOW · **Reply #381 on:** June 23, 2013, 04:08:18 AM

Used my Wingman to pull a stick out that was lodged across the top of my dogs mouth. I have no idea how she managed to get it stuck there.

Well the old Mac Book Pro died last week. It ended up being the Harddrive cable. So on Saturday, the cable arrived and I went to town on it with the PST and Wave. All is well now and I have my trust Mac Book Pro back.

Used my Micra to pull the heavy staples out of a cardboard box, then used its blade to cut the box open.

What tool on the Micra did you use, the flathead?

Agonistes · **Reply #385 on:** June 25, 2013, 03:52:30 AM

used surge to tighten bolts on a craftsman stool, because the tools they sent to do it were crap. you would think they would send better assembly tools...or a multi-tool....
