since camping last week we have lost our tin opener so today my wave was used to open a tin of tuna for lunch time sandwiches

Turnstone · **Reply #1471 on:** August 04, 2010, 03:47:12 PM

Pioneer can opener to open a small can for spices. I had to refill it and I needed to remove the plastic caps with the holes inside.

After that I needed the can opener again to pull out a small drawer on which the handles were broken off. Unfortunately its plastic so I couldn't use the screwdriver to attach a new handle

Used my Wenger Ranger172( http://www.wengerna.com/ranger-172-16309 ) to cut a delicious piece of gilled Ahi tuna-seasoned with garlic and dill(serve over sesame noodles), that I had for lunch at F&M deli( http://www.fandmcaterers.com/ )

THAT is a wicked cool knife

Lunch sounds pretty good too

Bike maintenance day today.

Firstly I used my Uber Kick to cut out a section of hose pipe that the rabbit had eaten so I could fix it back up hose down the bike.

I then used the same Kick to totally strip down the dérailleur, brakes, all sorts of tweaking and adjusting, and put it all back together again after cleaning and re-lubing. The bit driver is a truly wonderful thing and makes this Kick a really practical bike tool!

Changed the rear tyre too, but didn't use a multi for that

Was on on a bike trip today to enjoy the weather, and did some maintenance on one of my geocaches, replacing the makeshift thumbtack installation with a screw. The Skeletool CX had the honors of being the screwdriver for the torx screw

SwissChamp (is there any other?!?

)

- Lost my ball point pen so i used one from SC to sign some receipt's on fuel station...

Yesterday I took my new Vic Trailmaster to a nearby Geocache. Didn't expect to use it, took it with me just because it was new

Well, the cache was hidden in a birdhouse (without a hole for birds to come in), and the wood was soaked from the rain from the past days. I couldn't open it with my hands. So I used the locking bottle opener / screwdriver to open it

Worked fine without causing any damage.

Used trusty skeletool to fix the diverter valve handle on the shower.

Nice.

My DIY mini pry bar to break into chest at work... (Yesterday)

Today...

Used SwissChamp and Buck X-tract to fix my window shades (believe that is correct term

)

1. Unscrew plain screws with Buck
2. Cut old tape with Buck
3. Put new tape (hm, also hope it is correct term for synthetic plastic very flat rope

) using Buck pliers to pull it trough some very narrow holes
4. Take the rest of old broken tape and unscrew a bolt with SC
5. Put new tape and cut small holes with knife (easier than to use reamer)
6. Screw back bolt now with Buck
7. Put all in place and screw back plain screws now with SC
- Used lighter to "seal" ends of tape...

Some thought's:
I have planned to sell my Buck, but now i have second thoughts. Will keep it because of one hand opening!! Pliers were up to the job (it was lightweight), knifes small on SC and regular on Buck excellent, plain screwdrivers were both (SC and Buck) excellent and up to the job only drawback for SC is it polished finish so it has a tendency to slip out of screw. All together it was 30min job and both MT's were up to the job....

Some pics...

I've never owned an X-tract but have had the opportunity to try a couple and was impressed. Certainly a tool that doesn't get as much mention as it should.

Andreas · **Reply #1484 on:** August 21, 2010, 08:45:11 PM

Indeed the Xtract Fin is high up on my list of tools that I want just to check them out... seems like a very nice tool

Pushed the Gerber Solstice in to gardening duties today... it's actually surpassing my Kf4 in terms of most used MT

Dunc · **Reply #1486 on:** August 21, 2010, 10:25:21 PM

Had a drinking water hose pipe at work with a split in it near the tap so used my trusty PST to undo the jubilee clip then cut the bad bit of hose off and reconnect it .

Used the scissors on my Juice S2 to open red sauce satchets for the little ones in McD's

turbov21 · **Reply #1488 on:** August 28, 2010, 12:03:44 AM

This may be the lamest thing imaginable that someone could subject their SAK to, but nonetheless the SAK did right by me.

The bottles of water I get are made of thin, almost flimsy plastic. When you squeeze hard enough to break the seal between the ring and bottle cap, you almost always dribble water on yourself. I've sound if you cut the plastic bits holding the ring and cap together, you don't have to put forth as much effort. So, today (and yesterday, actually), my little SwissMemory helped me stay dry when opening a bottle of water.

I picked up a live scorpion by the tail with my Paratool and flushed him. My wife didn't want scorpion innards on the bedroom floor.

Thank god you didn't have a Squirt P(S)4 with you at the time

I've had my Ti knocking about while I started surgery on my Lunada - so far the patient is doing OK

Andreas · **Reply #1493 on:** August 28, 2010, 10:56:39 AM

Used the pen of the SwissCard Lite to write the address on an envelope

That's nothing like what I had in mind!

I used the saw on my Juice XE6 to cut part of dead branch for poking duties while geocaching

Worked a treat too
