Pulled a stray lump of copper out of my mother's outside tap with my SwissTool.  It was preventing the washer seating properly so it wouldn't turn off.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Used my ST Spirit X to slice some bacon for my kids... Did it just for fun, and they just like to see this polished peace of metal. While dinning I gave it to my son to play with, so he eat all of his meal...  ;)

And today, Spirit X to change toillete seat, and clean some drains on bath tub and sink...

I'm convinced today that I need full sized SwissTool. Not that Spirit couldn't do the job, just needed another pair of pliers to hold screw (rusted) while unscrewing a nut...

Thaught to make some pics doing it, but you wouldn't like it...  :pok: :pok: :D :D :D

Spirit is in the dishwasher as we speak, and my hands were rubbed with brush, several times, over half hour...  :D

I used my Victorinox Classic to open my wife's package of Valentine's Day chocolates :P

I sure hope she won't notice I ate half of them  :angel:

Pencil sharpening, opening packages, and pretending it was a moving component in a large assembly to demonstrate to a contractor how I needed it to work  :D

Well at work we have 8 foot tall reels of fiber, all solid wood probably upwards of 2,000 pounds.  I rolled one into place and I forgot to grab a 2x4 to stop it from rolling away and crashing into something important.  There wasn't anything within running distance so I pulled out the Blast  :D.  Worked great, not even a scratch.

Like that SOG Vcutter and 1/4 driver.  :tu:

Oh and that Horse manure?  Great for strawberries.


So, just finished swapping external hard drive bays with my Cybertimer 41.  Worked like a charm.  :)

Yesterday I used my LM Core to unscrew a transformer plug to an alarm system, so the client's malfunctioning alarm would stop "beeping" and the client (who will be 87 years old tomorrow) could get some rest.

I used my ST300's blade to cut all sorts of stuff today.  I also used the hard wire cutters to snip some coat hangers to make car stereo clip release tools.  I was trying to repair my Mustang's faulty stock stereo, but it looks like it is shot and I have to buy a stereo now.  Kinda puts a damper on getting the car last week, but I will make do.   :-\

BTW, that coat hanger didn't even mark the replaceable cutters on my ST, and the lower hard wire cutters just chewed right through.  Best cutters on any MT I've owned.
