I used the phillips screwdriver on the PST to tighten up a screw that was working its way loose on the shooting bench.

Used the small backspring flat head on my Champ as a spindle for the spool of thread I was winding around a needle to keep stored under the hook (as per a thread I saw here recently). Gotta love the symmetry in that.

Just as I was about to make a video about my microbit adapter for the Squirt PS4 I discovered one of the screws on the bottom had fallen out. It was a #000 Phillips, so I got to use the microbit setup to fix it. Somewhat ironic

Saturday I used the saw on the trailmaster to cut off some sticks for whittling, and then the blade for the geocaching barbecue. They only had those plastic knifes, no chance to cut the meat with that.

Yesterday I used it for garden work. Cut some cord to fix the tomatoe plants. Cut off some branches. And used the Recruit for my first whittling attempts. But the wood is still too wet, I will have to let it dry for a few days...

I've been using my ST300 to crack open stubborn pistacios. Sometimes it works and othertimes it crushes them to bits.

I used the small flatheads on my pulse and micra to disassemble my Gshock for cleaning. It was handy having to tiny screwdrivers to do the job, because the pins that hold the straps on just spin if you use just one screwdriver. I have been meaning to do that forever. It's like having a new watch!

Last night I used the driver on my CT34 to loosen up the stupidly tight pivots on my new Skeletool CX, and used the Pliers on my Spirit S to crimp down it's spare bit holder. Yay for using multitools to fix/modify other multitools you've only owned for 20 minutes

Oh and my Swisschamp and Spirit both got a good workout all day yesterday rebuilding my buddies RC car

I used my new Leatherman ST300's screwdrivers to fasten the AC connectors on an extension cord I constructed. A Victorinox Cadet knife cut away the wire's outer jacket effortlessly.

I used my new Buck X-tract knife to open several parts bags, cut a couple of cable ties, used its LED a lot for assorted equipment repairs and its Flat blade for scribing a marker on a long chain drive.
Used my Gerber EAB lite to open some boxes at work this morning.

The Buck is proving very handy in the couple of days I have had it, as I am often looking inside assorted equipment so the LED saves carrying or getting a separate torch all the time.

I used my SwissTool's saw to cut of some pieces of pipe (my central heating system is broken). The metal was a bit too hard but the saw did a good job.

Actually, that was a couple of days ago

I'm going to fix it today, again with help of the SwissTool.

Used my Wave to put in a new light/vent fan combo in our bathroom. The 90 degree lock I put on the bit driver came in handy for getting the wiring rig bolted back in, and the pliers are just handy for tweaky little electrical work anyways. The wire stripper still blows goats, though. Made me wish I had an ES4 or a Bear Electrician or something

I can't help but call one of these things a "fart fan" though. I once saw a switch in a breaker box labeled that way, and it has stuck in my head ever since

I was at the Lobster House in Cape May, NJ for lunch. http://thelobsterhouse.com/

And I used my LM BO Surge to open up a very tasty steamed lobster!!!

Nice to have a small multitool when you come across those nasty little nano caches

I used my Style CS scissors for cutting some packaging - it cut like butter

I used my shard to open a fresh walnut that I have found today... didn't taste very good, but I knew that. They need some storage before they taste good. But the walnut almost fell on my head when I walked beneath the tree, and it was in perfect condition, so I couldn't resist to try if I could open it with the shard. I know that it works with the can opener of my vic, and it works better than the shard, but it worked, and I enjoyed the nut, even if it tasted a little bit bitter.

putting a cam in some furniture assembly

Used my Core to pull a piece of paper out of a copier. Stupid little corner squished into a long thin slot making the copier jam constantly. People just rip the paper out and don't even pay attention as to whether they get the whole page out or not

I can't use a camera at work. Shhhhhhh......

I used my Blast to remove the chain and keyring from a Wenger SAK and installed it on my alox Cadet. I ended up using the cadet more than the blast all day.
