What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[mishania]

The one to the left 

Very good

Thanks! 

Nice one on starting them young mate

Yeah, he has an MT already 

[Mate]

Simplicity equals with awesomeness!   

[AHB]

Very nice..

I used a Leatherman Wave for tightening some screws on a cabinet, the knife for opening up some food, and the scissors for trimming some eyebrows. 

[Charger]

used my pulse to move an AED cabinet at work, and to pull some stuff out of walls with pliers.  Used my charge the other day to break into a car after church

Some poor fellow locked his keys in, so the charge made short work of making a coat-hanger-unlockinator.


I swear if I ever get a blast, it is only because Mercury raves about it .  I don't hear much on the blast but from him. Is it really that amazing? I kind of tuned out the Zytel line...

[Mercury]

The blast is a great all around tool forn everyday use.  Its not a heavy duty tool by any means, but it is very well rounded and solid.

I used my sideclip to cut the plug of some poor sods kettle aÆ it failed the saftey test

    That's just cruel!

[Mercury]

Ouch.  How bad is the cut?

[Sazabi]

I used my Spirit X, Explorer Plus, and Maratac AAA to help dismantle and replace a Sony endcap last night; will do the same today, too, most likely. >.>

     No Coffee no Workee    I'd have been straight down Asda with the petty cash to get a new one

opened a few bottles of wine this evening after work with my colleagues with the CT41. Sounds trivial, but I think its amazing the amount of force you can put on the corkcrew to get the cork out. I always trust the SAK to be tough enough to withstand this. Normally have the Climber in my pocket, this time had the farmer with me, and the CT41 as backup in my rucksack. Had a nice couple of hours by the Rhine river drinking wine, it was a bit fiddly removing the small screwdriver before using the corkscrew, but noone noticed, that small corkscrew is really useful anyway. The farmer awl bit me as I was coming back home on my bike, possibly jealous. I just don't have enough outdoor situations for it to work on at the moment.

Fixed the taillight on my jeep. Thought it was a blown bulb, nope. Then thought it was the fuse, nope. So I had to take out the factory repair manual and trace the wiring (not fun!), finally found one wire that was broken in two so I soldered it back together. Not done entirely but Powerlock helped.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Been building kitchen unit's (yay! ) Started of using a PST II as it was mainly a job for screwdriving and the awl

Gave up after about half an hour as like all MT's (Spirit excepted) the squared of end's just make it too uncomfortable to use for extended use

So went back to the good ole Farmer

That's why I never use Peter Atwood's gadgets when I have my Surge with me 

[Neil]

Broke the taps off an ant trap with my  !!! Mini !!!   They're digging a chuffing hole in my kitchen behind the freezer 

[Screwtape]

Use the OHT on the allotment to cut some tarpaulins to size, then made a few stakes with it to hold the lot down over the soon to be rhubarb patch

[Sazabi]

Nothing, aside from using my Explorer Plus to cut tape strips for my package of a couple items going off to Victorinox's service center tomorrow.

[Mr. Whippy]

Charge ALX to remove a rock, which jammed in the little rototiller.  Then ALX to clean out the tines. Then the ALX AGAIN to file the tines sharp again.

Charge ALX FTW!

[Mercury]

I used my Alox soldier's flat head to pry open an access panel on a safe today.  It sure helped the repair along.

[asupernothing]

used my s2 as a handle on my pipe threader at work.
8/10

used the scissors on the s2 to cut my fingernails, and the skin peeling from the blister i got from my genus.
9/10 (shot a piece of fingernail into my eye)

used the charge alx to take apart a chainsaw
3/10 the pliers just wouldnt grip some of the bolts. though the flathead driver was fine for the tensioner would have had the same problem with just about any mt though

and used the alx to adjust and sharpen my edc knife. (cant wait till my k503 gets here!).
10/10 gotta love the diamond file

used the cutting hook on the alx to cut twine that was holding a bundle of drainage pipe.
10/10 i cut 8 of 9 while my coworker got 1 with a regular knife.

used the alx for at least a dozen other things today. its like second nature now.

Yesterday, I used several of the tools in my ToPeak Gear Box, together with my Charge to fit a pump we bought along the way and to adjust the front derailleur  on my bike when I suddenly couldn't 17th-24th.

Very useful little tool kit that Gear Box

I know i still like mine

[Dunc]

Used the can opener ,Awl and large blade flat screwdriver to put up a coat hook , pliers to pull up the valve on an inflatable dingy to let the air out . All on my Vic Spirit .

[markn951]

Well, yesterday I used the can opener to... erm... open a can. It was actually the first time doing this, as I don't usually have the need to open cans without a dedicated can opener, but my mom was looking for it, so I said "Well, there's a first time for everything!"

[jekostas]

Put together wife's new computer.

Turns out all my standard driver bit sets are magnetized.

[Jmora]

replaced the screw attaching the seat on my bike. The screw was stuck, and I had no hammer, my modern cromagnon man tools couldn't budge it, so I fell back on caveman methods and used a rock (imperial scale) to smash it out. Worked perfectly.

...if I can give this multirock a red alox scale I'll sell it on ebay for a fortune.
