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.  >:D

I did get a full cooked dinner and a couple of drinks out of it as well, so I'll let her off this time  ;)  :D :D

Used my new-to-me OHT today at work for the first time. What an awesome knife! I used every tool on it today (not necessarily in the way they were intended, but...). I kinda looked down on the 111mm Vics for a while, just thought they'd be too bulky for me. Now, I'm already plotting which one of the series to get next!  :)
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

Used my Wave (my favorite at the moment) to do some instalation work on FUCHS. Instaled a O/I manual switch on hydraulic lubricant cooler fan... So some wire stripping, cutting, fidling with screwdrivers... All works!!  :D :D  Later on I've used a flat screwdriver/prybar on Wave to open cell's on battery to check acid level in them...

New ST300 was just used to install the rails for a new server into the rack.  Medium flathead held up well as a pry bar.

I used the SC4 to disassemble a sprayer that clogged three times during a topcoat application.  Now the blade and scales have some Atomic Topcoat on them.  Getting it off will be a challenge  because this stuff is resistant to almost any chemical.  We've put sulphuric acid and drain cleaner on this stuff as a test and neither even dulled the gloss.

Used the pressurized ballpoint pen on my Victorinox Swisschamp to write down the final standings from my families miniature golf game  8).  And the scissors to cut some loose thread from my shirt  :D.

And I'm always looking like this  :climber: on such occasions ...

Used my Wave with another pair of pliers to take off battery terminal from excavator. Bolt and nut were rusted and stuck... It needed some hard grip. At first I was afraid how Wave would stand to the job, but it was perfect...

Although I have opened a few with my Ka Bar for the sake of overkill  :D

I used the diamond file on my Leatherman XE-6 to file a spot on my Emerson mini CQC-15 so the thumb disc would fit. It worked really well. Its the first time I really used the diamond file hard and it held up great.  :tu:

Extracted a stuck .22 casing from the chamber of a youth-sized bolt action rifle.  Were it not for the Juice CS4 I had in my pocket, I would still be sitting there staring at it and muttering potty words.

Reached the end of my tether with the kids from the mosque next door today.
Apparently, Ramadan means "run riot and break in to everyone's gardens".

So, MT of choice was a SOG Powerlock - the compound leverage worked very nicely on the barbed wire I have just put round the bits of fencing they have destroyed. :D

I was considering trading my Powerlock ... you just talked me out of it  :salute:

It's amazing how many uses you can find for Leatherman products, even for cleaning "The Tool that Loves to Smudge"
