What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[Gadget Guy]

I used my Vic Cybertool 29 to change the pocket clip on my Emerson custom CQC-14.

Today I used my LM Surge (my least favorite mt) to open a box of water pumps. I then used the pliers and screwdrivers to make sure they were ready to use.

Well first off, it was the Pulse/Wave combo all day.  I have been trying this for a few days and it is working beautifully.  I first used both the pulse and wave with bit kit to build a store bought cabinet that stands above a standard toilet.  It took a while but I put tremendous torque on the wave's bit driver because a screw stripped out.  It held up great, but to be cautious I used a ratcheting screwdriver to finish that one off.  I then used the wave to hammer in a plastic drywall anchor, and used the serrated blade to cut off the other stubborn anchor as it just wouldn't go. 

I then decided that the switch that came on my desk lamp needed to go, as it was intermittent.  I used my wave to disassemble the existing switch, and from there I cut the cord in two places because the first time I spliced the wrong one into the switch, then I proceeded to ruin a butt splice, cut my finger, end up splicing in two spots, and cover the cord in electrical tape all to put a $3 switch on a $10 lamp.  Man it was fun though!

The Skelly and Spirit S double teamed the bolts on my Powerlock whilst fiddling with implement combinations. Really wish I could fit scissors in there some place, but oh well.

That's why you need a Style CS

Used my Style CS to cut bandaging for my wife's thumb wrap - she messed it up royally at work when she fell 

I hope she heals up OK.

Thanks Gareth, she seems to be healing up ok and she painted her other fingernails purple to match the bad thumb 

LOL, that's really rather cunning.

I used my Pulse as a "pocket filler" today.
I just didn't find anything to do with it 
Unbelievable!!!

I used my Skeletool CX to remove the panel off a circuit breaker box

It really earns its keep, B_T...

I used both my Pulse and my wave to repair a broken sign at work today.  Having two sets of pliers handy really helps!

I agree.  That's why I myself carry two Plier MTs at work! 

Yesterday I used my LM Wave to take apart a DVD-RW drive which unfortunately had a CD explode in it.

Couldn't get a bottle open, and the Crunch came through like nobody's business.  Love that Crunch!

Well, last week, my wife was side swiped, and spun out, by some idiot in a truck. Of course the idiot took off! Anyways, the rear bumper cover was knocked off of her Dodge Magnum. An employee that was riding with her managed to snap the bumper cover back in place. The other day, another employee noticed that she didn't have any backup lights. He crawled under the car to find a shredded wire harness. After I inspected the harness, I realized that she had been driving with no brake lights at all! So, I had to rewire all six strands of said harness with my trusty Leatherman ES4. Everything works now.

Skeletool CX to open packaging and Style CS flat phillips to take battery cover off new ottlite and install batteries.

Used my CT-34 to once again try and fix the horrendous blade play I keep getting in my Skeletool (I could shake the tool with the blade open and feel & hear it rattling). Think I finally got it licked this time  . Would be easier if the Torx wouldn't slip every time I start getting the screw tight, but it's the closest size I own.

Yesterday my Charge Ti came in very handy whilst bodging together some old alu greenhouse staging

Today I only used a Paratool to cut up some packing material.

Old Farmer and a Squirt saw conker duty. An old Soldier fitted the head on to a yard brush. Scientist took apart a CO detector. Custom CT helped repair a couple of phones.

On my knees in the bathtub replacing the drain trip lever assembly. Brought a phillips driver to remove the old but wouldn't you know it upon removing the new one from package I found it had slotted screws. My Vic Ranger rode to the rescue and saved me a trip to the garage.

Sorry, most I can figure out- Conker duty?

I don't think the answer will be remotely close to what we think it is.

Today I needed a plotter pen for a desktop CNC mill so I could trace out some lines on a piece of hardboard. Thought I was stuck, with nothing suitable to hand until that Doh! moment when my Vic Signature Lite came to the rescue...pulled the pen out of it, and found it short enough to get in the space, and a good fit in the chuck thingy. Just as important, the pen didn't collapse under the abuse and was still a good fit when I took it out of the mill and put it back in the Vic where it belonged

Used my ST Spirit to cut and strip some wire... Then used pliers to pull out actual metal wire (dont know right term) and replace broken fuse on FUCHS machine....

For all you  -ers I didn't have a cam with me.... So, no pics this time...

[Agent X68]

Got my spirit today, love it, and used it to cut some bread and spread some butter on a sandwich.

I used 5 straight pins from 5 different SAKs to pin off (?) our new curtains
