Using my Skeletool to crack some nuts.

Used my new black oxide Kick to open several bags of mulch. Very manly.

That black oxide finish wears off very quickly in the pocket with lots of other stuff, but I like the look of a well-used multitool.

My always present SwissChamp was used to help put together our new aquarium setup. That included being completely submerged to trim a couple plants. No rust

Knifeless Fuse helped out cutting up wire to build a frame on my allotment today.

Oh, and the strawberries are starting to ripen.... makes it all worth it

Changed a fuse with my Swisstool RS

These tools pay for themselves

Obviously if I had Fuse I would have used that to change the fuse but it could have got complicated

Used my trusty RECARO^tm Sideclip to open a draining valve. I had to empty my heatingsystem to change/seal off a radiator that started to leak earlier today..

(I did use a Knipex plier and a Bacho wrench for that job though..)

Crimescene and about 60 kg of scrapmetal...

I opened way too many beers with my CS4 last night. Good thing my friend's house is within walking distance from my home.

love the juice opener for beer bottles.

I used my blast's pliers to pull hooks out of about 10 fish mouths, I used the scissors to snip line about 5 times because my wife kept getting tangled, and I had a sunfish swallow a hook so he now owns said hook. He's dead though, so technically it's still mine. I then used the opener on my blast to open a bunch of mexican beer throughout the night. Great day!

Used my Fuse to gouge a lump out of my thumb.

MeadMaker · **Reply #2021 on:** May 17, 2011, 10:41:42 PM

I used the pliers on my SC4 to pull some plate joining biscuits out of some furniture parts after doing a dry test assembly.

I bet you haven't seen that use listed here very often.

Oh mate, at least my knifeless version doesn't do that to me!

The really stupid thing was I managed to do it with the pliers. I was tugging at something that wouldn't move, slipped and swiped the tips across my right thumb.

Used my Charge ALX to pull the retaining clip of the grudgeon pin so I could remove the piston and cylinder of my Ducati.

Actually used my Leatherman MUT to clear a " Bolt override" stoppage! First time in my 10 yrs as a Weapons Tech I actually have seen this stoppage. Pic below.

Sea Monster · **Reply #2028 on:** May 20, 2011, 02:49:43 AM

Woah, nice stoppage!

I've never used that kind of rifle, but I still don't see how it could even happen. (If I'm seeing it correctly, the bolt has moved forward but the round has missed the chamber?)

bdl931 · **Reply #2029 on:** May 20, 2011, 05:52:44 PM

No idea how it happened, but the MUT cleared it in 2 seconds. Right place, right tool for the job.

jerseydevil · **Reply #2030 on:** May 21, 2011, 12:05:03 AM

Used my Skeletool to pull and replace some power washer gun gaskets. SO much easier with small pliers!

edcgear · **Reply #2031 on:** May 24, 2011, 09:48:21 AM

Used my old style Wave pliers to push and pull needle with thread trough my working trousers, and then Waves scissors to cut the thread...

ivanov · **Reply #2032 on:** May 24, 2011, 10:00:40 AM

Yesterday I made a small home repairs. Very handy saw of Wenger Grip - sawed 2 species skirting board: wood and plastic. Excellent cut - accurate and quickly.

I used my charge AL to loosen up some quick links at work tonight...

powernoodle · **Reply #2034 on:** May 25, 2011, 01:50:05 AM

Used the file on my Supertool 300 to clean the battery terminals on a riding mower. Am I a stud or what? Don't answer that!

New_World · **Reply #2035 on:** May 25, 2011, 10:36:35 AM

ever used one of those battery terminal cleaning tools?
wire brush?
ST300?

that reminds me I need to clean mine.

powernoodle · **Reply #2036 on:** May 25, 2011, 11:32:23 AM

I do have one of those battery terminal cleaning brushes, and they work very well.

But using one would have required me to walk 30 feet to retrieve it, and we can't have that.

actually...I understand.

I have a feeling you would "fit in" over here in America. =)

...I use the smallest screwdriver on my Wave on a daily basis to clean my razor....

Used a Vic Cybertool 41 to repair and replace parts on the lab's automated stainer
