Working on my car, again, sigh But at least these MK2 Golfs are easy to work on and
the Vic Spirit is perfect for the job. Trouble is the car is 20 years old and things just wear out
and give up the ghost The car itself is outstandingly sound but the ancilleries give
occasional trouble.

Is it a 8V or 16V GTI in Oak Green?

Been doing desk work the last few days, so it's been pretty much just pulling staples with the plain edge of my Wave.

And some fingernail work with my Classic.

I used my Skeletool to adjust the front brake on my Daughters bike .

My dad just picked up a new golf cart for the campground. He wanted spice it up a little for the parade coming up. I was a little short on wire, but had a slew of connectors so it is pieced together for now

. This was my first time using the Surge for any electrical work, the stranded wire cutter and crimper worked amazingly well.

Used the wire stripper on my Swisstool Spirit X to fix my kid's Smithsonian Motor Works set. I had to re-attach the wires that had broken off the electric motor.

I used my Skeletool to decorate the boat for the 4th of July parade today, and pull a fuse from the dead stereo.

I used my skeletool to remove a blown fuse from my car stereo lastnight

I used my pulse to grab a cockroach and end it's miserable existence. We only see about 1 a year in our house, and it's at the exact same time every year. That's Texas for ya. Time for me to spray again, which smurfs me the smurf off because at my POA meeting last month(I'm the VP and sit on the board), we discussed the rather large pest control allotment and we just had it done two weeks ago. Time to get some money back, eh?

Used my new Micra to cut coupons for customers at the store today, and to fix my glasses. Used my equally new Wave to fix an HVLP gun, and the serrated blade to cut a calzone at lunch

. Worked a heck of a lot better than the plastic knife that came with it, but mozzarella is a pain to get off the blade.....

lost my leatherman style

the micra is on the keychain now.
I do love the micra, but I'm missing the style.
I wonder where it fell off at?

Used the PowerLock knife to open the box to reveal a Leatherman Crunch.
I think he just found a new littl friend.

did something break? Or did you and it just have a 'parting of the ways'? Whichever, I'm sorry to hear it. $:-\$

SOG Crosscut makes a great pair of gardening shears.

umberto00 · **Reply #2115 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:47:15 PM

Not today, but spent several hours on Sunday helping a friend move, which meant my Juice KF4 got lots of use taking apart furniture, unscrewing shelves, ect. Plus, used the screwdriver on my Juice with the wrench on my Atwood Roidwrench to take apart the bed. Everyone else was amazed at how much I could get done with what's in my pocket and keychain - my friend had packed his toolbox and couldn't find it, so basically the Juice and Atwood were the only tools available. Afterwards, the Atwood got to open up some well-deserved beers!

Used my Micra to open my new Deluxe Tinker!

I used my SwissTool RS to tighten the camera on the Gorillapod and to pic up this dead spider

I seen this a week ago but left it for the cats to find, needless to say none of them did.

I used today the bit extender and the flat screwdriver bit to make my first set of money fists (YAY!!)

quick and dirty pic attached

Nice monkey fist mate

Reinier · **Reply #2123 on:** July 18, 2011, 04:48:28 PM

I didn't like to go to the toilet in the dark

so I used my SwissTool to fix the light fixture in the bathroom of my hotel room. The technical guys were not available so I had to do it myself

Free beer in return for the inconvenience

colinoutdoors · **Reply #2124 on:** July 18, 2011, 05:48:14 PM

Haha, great use of the SwissTool Reinier, nice to get some free beer out of it too :-)

Jmora · **Reply #2125 on:** July 18, 2011, 08:33:59 PM

used the spirit to put together some IKEA furniture. Its amazing with the drivers how much torque a MT can take.

For the last month or two My Paratool has saved me in the bathroom.

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #2127 on:** July 19, 2011, 12:23:00 AM

Managed to solve an electrical mystery at my Brother's earlier when half the fuse board tripped and wouldn't reset. Tools used SOG PPP, Swisstool, Fenix PD20, Preon Revo. My Sis-in-law was actually mocking me not only for having the tools and lights to fix it, but also for having standard domestic fuses in my EDC bag $:-\$

I'd have fixed the problem, declared what was needed to fix it, then pulled my fuse back out again and left.
