What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[Sazabi]

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.

Just as an fyi question:  you made certain they detached prior to squeezing, yes?  Squeezing them while they're still attached to you can cause its innards (and whatever else) to enter your bloodstream otherwise, which is bad (obviously). :/

I Like tweezers cuz they get very close to the skin and, as Sazabi suggests, doesn't crush it. 

[Kmarr]

.....but pliers are equally punishing

[Screwtape]

I heard that you can cover then with vasaline and they suffocate and fall off, anyone tried that?

I believe that to be true; after they fall off, that's when you take a match to them.

These guys were crawling on me and NOT embedded yet.  They just happened to crawl into the jaws of death!
If they're embedded, well, that's another story altogether.  One must be very careful getting them out and then let the carnage begin.

I have used my Blast to crush spiders before, it's cool!  I hate bugs, death to all of them!

I've done something similar with clear nail polish.

This is dumb, but this is what I did.  Used the awl on the Farmer to put holes through my little foam paint applicators so i could put them all on a cord and hang them in the closet.  Yeah, I need a life.

It's better than not using it at all!

I hopped on one of our Gators at work to head to a call on the other side of the Resort, and as I put my key in the ignition, it pushed the whole assembly into the dash, as the plastic nut that holds the ignition to the dash had backed off.  I whipped out my Blast and disassembled, then reassembled the dash as my coworkers stood by watching in wonder as I, a Security Guard, repaired the vehicle faster than our maintenance tech could retrieve his tool bag.

I really need to get a blast.  And at least you did something really useful.  I was just bored.  LOl!

I can safely say at this point, the Blast is my fallback/backup/always-gonna-have-one MT.  It is as close to perfect in every aspect as a MT can come for me.  I just got my Powerlock today, and it still has "new" all over it so it is in the forefront of my mind for now, but time will tell if it replaces the Blast as my favorite.  Then again the ST300 I have on the way could take the cake as well.  It never ends with these beautiful tools!

I used the powerlock tonight to show itself off by cutting many thick things with the cutters, notably a key, thick paperclips, and a washer.  My friends were very jealous because none of them have ever seen a SOG MT before.  Oh, and I did actually use the phillips on my PL to tighten up a door lock, and the file to round off some sharp edges on the PL's handle covers.

I used my compact to....go through the wash

I found it in my folded pair of work pants in the drawer.  Aside from excess lint, it looks as good as it did before its little adventure

Using my Kick for scraping, prying, cutting, pulling ect. while I'm painting the girls bedroom..

Used the CT34 today to take apart a customer's son's Playskool digital camera and install an SD card. Got a sale, made her happy, and my boss about hugged me for my ingenuity.

[Neil]

You got to use your SAK, made people happy and got a hug.   I'm impressed

Me, I pinched my son's PT-510 to get a fridge magnet out of the end of the vacuum cleaner and for that I got to fix the hedge trimmer.. and then have to use it

I want a PT510.  And a hedge trimmer.  I hate my vacuum cleaner.

Used the Charge phillips to put a pitch number sign back together after a "gang" of 7 year olds decided to snap the sign off and use the post as a goalpost 

Used it for a couple of other fixing and cutting tasks too (boxes, string, tape etc).

Used the Wave's pliers to remove the fishing lure from this bad boy who was none to happy, sucker weighed at least 20+ pounds and was almost too much for my bum shoulder. thought he was gonna swallow my wave or my fingers, was not easy getting the hook out:

Good samaritan, I love it!

I am constantly rescuing smaller versions of that one from certain death here in Texas.  They get stuck on the road and can't climb back over the curbs.  Ours flip out when you try to grab them and they run.

Not sure how good I was, I did catch it while fishing and was able to see him swimming after the lure at sunset, suffice it to say he made a nice jump off the pier and returned safely to the lake.

Nice one BB

[BIG-TARGET]

I used the plastic toothpick as a "jewelers" screwdriver to reinstall a screw in the color spectormeter at the paint desk, in the HD-"big orange tool box" I work in.  I hope managaement doesn't find out.  Knowing them, they'll thank me, by writing a written coaching against me!

[Mr. Whippy]

Bought a broken X-Fi this morning and used my modified CT to strip it down..

Well this weekend saw nine hours of dance recitals being taped by me, but on Friday I went with my father to a house that's about to be demolished; my OHT saw use in removing some old doors and their hinges from some walls; used the saw to saw off a piece of wood that wouldn't allow a stubborn screw from being turned.

... All in the name of getting older supplies and fixtures for my father's work-in-progress of an old general store.

Yesterday, I used the Charges pliers to fix a large umbrella we were preparing for the bad weather that was forecast. In the end however, we didn't have even a light shower, and everyone got sunburnt!!

Used a Vic pioneer to help put a load of England car flags we were flogging on a rail too

[valvestem125]

I bought a Gerber Strata today at Cabelas.  And used it this afternoon in the shed to straighten a bent blade on a hand pruner.

Hive maintenance with the Folding Razel.  Had to remove propolis, scrape wax, and loosen frames for removal.
