I used both my Crunch and Pulse a lot today.  First off, a set of rental bikes was ordered for a platinum VIP guest but they arrived with loose bolts and misappropriated pieces.  I used my crunch to loosen some nuts and move a child seat from one bike to the other and it worked like a champ.  I then used my pulse to remove two luggage racks from two bikes because we had to attach "copilot" trailers to them so the kiddies could ride as well.  I then came home and opened a can of refried beans for nachos with the can opener on my pulse. 

To top it all off, I used the pliers on my pulse to remove a very much alive scorpion from my living room and dump him in the toilet,

I...uh...used my Wave's saw to saw a deer's brain in half.

Not my first choice, mind...

I had went hunting and managed to bring in a six-point buck.  In order to preserve the antlers for a later mount, I had to saw them off of the skull, keeping a section of the skull intact to keep them connected together.  Usually do it with a little Swiss four-sided saw, but my FIL seems to have misplaced it.  After attempting to do it with a relatively *huge* bow saw, I gave up and got the Wave out.  It worked admirably actually, but cleaning...stuff...out of the Wave's joints was a bit squicky.
Half-ass done wholeheartedly!

As I didn't want to get brain matter in my shiny camera, all I have is a post-action shot :P


That's a bit of a mess... by Bekki And Quanah, on Flickr

Just for added effect, I haven't completely cleaned the skull off for this pic.  And yes...this is the most action those lifting weights have seen in a while...having a toddler is workout enough, thanks.

Cool pic SlackOne!

Used my raker tool to fix a table I managed to break during the course of my work day.  Had to screw the thing back together... oops!.  Raker tool performed very well.

I have been repeatedly using my foreman's ST200 the last week or so, seeing as it is handy and I don't have to walk 500m to get a tool. Today, we installed new SDR pipes onto old steel ones, so the driver got put to use on hose clamps.

My pulse has seen a ton of use over the last few days.  Awesome tool.

Back from holidays...

Used my Vic Harvester quite a lot in the holiday flat kitchen. No good knife there, and we forgot to bring our own kitchen knife and a potato peeler. The pruning blade worked really good with the potatoes, I needed just more time for it (much more time...).

The Vic Trailmaster got some outdoor use. Found a "Pricke" after a storm, a wooden thing that looks like a tall tree and that is set up in the wadden sea to mark the tidal creeks for the ships. They now have nice reflector tape on the top, and I cut it off for myself  :D A nice large piece of high quality green reflective tape. Doesn't stick anymore, but I guess I can still find something useful for it  :tu:

On the way back home the tank cover of the car was stuck. Used the Tool Clip to get it off.

Popped a sidemarker light out of the rubber grommet that secures it too one of the trailers I had to pull last night so I could change it. Used the blade on my SwissTool X to trim a rain curtain that was hanging outside the trailer door. Used the pliers to pull out a bad gladhand seal.

Replaced a ceiling fan with my Victorniox ratchet set. That little thing is handy! As the Brits would say - a nice bit of kit!

For work I'm currently rotating between the LM Juice S2 and LM Kick and I'm carrying a SAK too. The screw drivers are used regularly to open computers and such in our lab, to install new devices. I used the Victorinox Tourist to peel an apple yesterday and the Kick to cut a paperclip in pieces while I was waiting for something to finish.

Used my "old style" Wave to open a box that was delivered to my home today   :).





P.S. I will make a new topic about the contents of these nice yellow boxes  ;).

Not so much plier based but used my Vic Pro lastnight to cut the string on a bale of straw so we could spread it around the bonfire to light it , what with it being November 5th ( Guy Fawkes ) .Had gloves on so was impressed by the Pro's one handed opening .The best bit was lighting it with handheld flares  >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D  perks of the job and all that  >:D >:D

Awesome shot!

When I was in Boy Scouts, our troop leader worked for the railroad.  Growing up in Oregon meant camping in the rain--a lot!

One fall camping trip, it rained the entire hike in, and everything was soaked.  We tried all the tricks to get dry wood (split logs to get the inner drier wood, look for fuel under cover, etc) absolutely no help.

At this point, it was dark, we were soaked and it was getting cold.  Our troop leader said, "That's enough.  Stack up all the wood for a bonfire.  All of it."

So we did.  Dryish, wet and soaked wood.  He pulls a railroad flare out of his pack, jams it into the base of the bonfire and strikes it.  10 minutes later, we had a roaring bonfire  :D

All the scouts from surrounding troops descended on our campsite. We kept it burning all weekend long (virtually rained, drizzled or misted continuously).

The boot cover on the back of my car was bust by the past user, wouldn't latch onto the rail at all and it would slip all over the place.  Used my Charge and a wedge of duct tape in the internal components to ensure the latch sat higher in relation to the rail and now its working like new :D

One of the cargo tiedown points was jammed in the boot as well.  Pryed off the cover with my Raker ring tool and found a protruding screw that was jamming it in place.  The charge came out and got that screw out of the way.
