SwissTool

Few days ago I've stripped some wires, reassembled lamp, connected them lamp socket, assembled lamp and screw it uned kitchen cabinet...

Woila wife!!

And now she complaints, and want another lamp like that on the other side of cabinet...

Last night SwissTool did some job again...

Door handle got loosen and stayed in my hand while closing the door, small screw which holds it togeter got loosen, so I tight him up and while dooing that I've noticed few more loosen screws, so ST fixed that too...

Did I mentioned that ST is my favorite allrounder?!? Just like how hefty it feels in hand, and how capable it is! Awesom tool IMHO!  :multi:

my lamp went out and i pulled out the soldering iron and fixed it.......... BUT now the goose neck won't stay tight.
I'll try some super glue.

maybe I should just get a new lamp.  LOL

(btw used the s2)

Yesterday when hooking up my trailer noticed one of the contact pins had come loose  :think: :think:.
I had the MUT in the car but the small electric screw would be too small for the MUT  :think:.
Nup took the smaller of the 3 MUT bits out & used it out of the tool  ,  worked a charm  8) 8).
Used the MUT's hammer to whack in our chicken run's supporting stakes  8) 8). Hammer on a MT  8) 8) 8) :D

Used the Explorer Plus to sharpen my pencil today in between classes.  I know I've done that before, but I really like doing it.  It's relaxing for a few moments anyway.  :)

I used the awl on my spirit today to ream a hole in a tire so I could patch it.  Worked perfectly!  The serrated blade made simple work of cutting the plugs to length as well.

Dat before yesterday I used my SwissChamp to begin building a new cabinet/book shelf. My GF then used my Cybertool to finish the job after I left for a job interview (God I love her), then yesterday I used the Cybertool to build my new computer. No use today as I was at my new job. It's been a damn good couple days :)

I made the mistake of wearing a new set of shoes to work a booth at an industry show, so I used the scissors on my Juice to cut some mole skin to size.

I put my spirit to use doing a very common task, pulling fuses from one of my fleet vehicles.  It's a custom open air Tram with trailer that seats 20.  The trailer has lights so it's street legal, but the way it's wired makes it very easy to wear away the insulation on the harness, so we have a weekly short that blows a fuse and kills the whole Tram in the middle of the smurfing road with a half a smurfing load of guests in their smurfing bathing suits that want my smurfing head!  I made a code 3 run to the local hardware store and picked up some fuses to get it going again.  My driver was very patient and kept most our guests laughing about it, but it still doesn't look good.  Just one more reason I can justify wearing a Multi on my belt when I'm in dress slacks and polished shoes.

I used the scissors on a Work Champ to trim some cloth insulating sleeving on a motorcycle stator.
Tried to use the scissors on my LM PS4 to trim a finger nail but failed miserably. They are horrible scissors.

That surprises me.  I carried a PS4 while on vacation last month and used them to trim some toe nails.  They worked very well.  Accurate cut with no ragged edges.   Were you trying to trim a finger nail on your right hand using the scissors in your left hand?  They are right handed scissors.

Using them in my right hand to cut nail on left. I just dont like how mine are very flimsy at the pivot and the lever sort of bottoms out on the main body of the tool. I dont like the feel/action of the scissors and they don't open up far. Maybe my nails are too tough! No way would i be able to cut a toe nail with these thats for sure.

Ok, so it wasn't a SAK or a MT, but today in class my professor wanted to demonstrate something and said, "I wish I'd have brought a flashlight" so being the ever so helpful person I am, I got into my bag and pulled out...My Mini Mag!  Yay!  My classmates laughed, but hey, you gotta be prepared.  :D

Used my swisstool rs to cut fibers from a flag that had ripped and became unattached from the string holding it and run the string through it so I could rehang it as my curtain. Yep you read that right in my room I have my blind then for my curtain I have a 2pac flag. So nice to be watched by a hot dead man sleeping. Lol :tu:
