I used my Charge ALX with a custom bit to repair a keycard lock in a door at work.  I do this regularly, and the charge excels.  I used the charge's guthook to remove a tag from my new steel water bottle, and the file went to work on two of my (nice) spoons that met a terrible fate in my garbage disposal because the wife doesn't know how to look before she hits the darn switch.   :twak:

Closed the file on the spirit and somehow carved open my index finger along the back of the file.

They never mentioned "filet knife" as a function in the Spirit manual!

The edge of the file is (supposedly) a metal saw... or do you mean its other side?

I have actually heard quite a few guys say that the file has cut them.  Mine never cut me, but it was used when I got it so it could have been worn down.

Following on from your comment in another thread, that should be good for Brownie points with the missus - should see you good for another three or four multis do you reckon?
I used to come here a lot.

Been using the V-Cutter on my new Powerlock for opening boxes at work. Seems to work decently. Could stand to be sharper, but it's biggest problem is how fast it gets gunked up with tape residue making everything stick in between the blades. While it doesn't work quite as well as I'd like, it does work and it's nice not worrying about carving up the contents of the box.

Used my old broken powerlock pliers. And my spirit pliers to pull apart my new Powerlock to re-jigger the compnents a bit. Used my CT34 can opener and pliers to help set and hold the spacers into position.

So when you think about it, I used essentially my entire current multi collection to work on.... each other. Gotta love it.

Our guest room doors have a long striker plate on both the door and jamb, and the bottom screw had come out of door plate causing it to stick out.  Instead of looking at the door, one of our housekeeping LEADS just slammed the door about 5 times then declared that it was broken and wouldn't shut.  I had to bend it back with my Blast's pliers and it still looks like a mangled mess.  But, that's what I carry my MT for!

Yea, they do that.  I had to help one of our Maintenance guys find an air handler and help him take down the return grate to clean it.  This particular one was in the kitchen of our very large restaurant, and covered in grease.  Needless to say my blast got a bath afterwards.  I managed to stay clean somehow, I wear a solid white pressed shirt and it stayed pristine.

I used a Skeletool to arrest and crush some Deer Ticks that I found on my tender body!  A co-worker said that you can only destroy ticks by burning, but I reported that a trip through the pliers is more effective.  I challenged her to watch the flattened tick to see if still was able to move after pliers, but she declined.  The tick had no say in the matter.
