I used the scissors in my Wave to cut some long hairs in my eyebrows  :) 

 :D  i seem to be doing that more often these days, plus nose hair  :rofl:


i used the phillips on the swisstool to tighten some hinges on a cupboard  :tu:

LM scissors are the best nose hair trimmers!
Nope, A Vic Classic is way better..... I've been told.. ::)

AHB,
Thanks Mate!
I take 100 pictures, then dump 96 and what's left are quite good sometimes  ;)


John,
It had its eye on one of my legs, luckily I had my Skeletool or there's no telling what might of happened :ahhh


No insects were harmed during the shooting of any of my pictures :police:  :salute:

So far I have used a Super Tool to remove a watch battery from a thermometer and tighten a bathroom doorknob.

Used my Wave to take apart a PC for cleaning, then put it back together...

Vic Compact for cutting plastic ties and boxes for disposal.

I just used my Charge (and a Hacksaw and Dremmel :D) to make some "adjustments" to my old bike. If it stops raining soon, there may a point to it all.......
I used to come here a lot.

Charge ALX.

Used the cap crimper opening to hook up the spring on the tensioner for the belt that runs the mower deck.  (Woods 5210 Mown Machine)

MUCH newer version than mine...

Tell the truth  :pok: that doorknob was tight enough but you couldn't resist anyway  :D

Yesterday we had a bit of flash flooding from the rain, so I used the charge to set up weeping tile strategically around the place I work. Used the cutting hook to cut the rope tying it down, serrated blade to cut lengths of rope, plain edge to cutout holes in the tubing and pliers to shove the rope through the holes. Even found a loose screw. :D

Don't you love that cutting hook?  Which Charge to you have, btw?

Used a OTH to get serious with the raised beds in the allotment, lots of string tying and opening of bags to be done,

and while I'm on the subject I used my powerlock as a quick fix to  mower as the choke cables broken,  who would have thought that a Sog  pliers head is perfect or wedging open a throttle just right   :tu:

The ALX, and yes that hook is great.  I thought it needed sharpening but it cleanly cut all the rope, so maybe not as dull as I thought.

Yesterday we were at a park about to cook some hamburgers over charcoal when we realized that we had forgotten a spatula.

I took my tinker, cut a branch from a tree, and carved a flat "blade" out of it that we then used to get under the patties and flip them over.

I used a Leatherman Squirt P4 to file my fingernails a bit and to open a new box of tea bags.

Charge ALX, Squirt E4 and Cybertimer 41 were used to wire in a new outdoor light.

Oh, and used a rock hammer to open the concrete wall.  ::)

Once again, I expertly used my ST300 to even out the weight of my radio on my belt while on duty.  It was perfect for the job.

Hmm, I notice that I used my smaller sized MT's for more than belt weight, maybe I should go back to them?   :D

I used my cheapo Chinese Army Knife blade to cut paracord. Heat it first with a lighter, cuts and seals perfectly :D Thanks Dave  :tu:

Also used my LM K502 for paracord duties without the flame :)

Nothing yet today, but yesterday mum gave me the task of slicing in twain two lotion bottles of hers in which the contents had become rather inclined to remain in the nether crevices of the bottles.  ::)  A standard box cutter wasn't up to the task, and in fact, the blade broke; rather than moving to my EAB, I switched to my OHT and the partially serrated blade made extremely quick work of both bottles.  :D

I used a Leatherman Micra to help a lady cut some flowers today in the hospital.  The scissors made quick work of the stems.
