What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[edcgear]

Used SKeletool, CC Pico Pry Bar and CC Key Screwdrivers to open my water dispenser and check out leak it has... No fix, just open - close and call service (it's rented)...

Forgot a pen at a meeting this morning, so out came the Inka. I was on hand afterwards as "bearer of the rope spanner" (knife) as a lifting frame of lashed together lamp posts - a fantastic improvised solution from a couple of weeks back - was carefully dismantled. None of the other guys ever have so much as a pocket knife on them. Got back to get changed and lens just fell out of my specs as a screw had come adrift - micra to the rescue 

Now I'm safe to drive I'm heading off up the motorway to a mate's BBQ to do some endurance testing of my EDC bottle opening capabilities

used LM wave to take apart an LCD TV today.
didn't fix it yet. =(

[dks]

Used the juice S2 philips screwdriver, then bought a set of screwdrivers and used the blade to open the box. Also used the pliers of the ST300 and some of my knives. On holiday, so I try to complement what I have here with some of the "toys" I brought along.

Used my ALX to install a weather head for an electrical service.  I strapped it to my belt, got on the roof.
Used the knife to cut the rubber boot to the pipe could slide through easier and to cut the tape on the wire.  Used one of the flat head tips to take apart the weather head itself.  Used the philips heads to secure the clamp, which attaches the weather head to the 2" emt pipe.   Used the needle nose head to knock out the KOs to run the wire.  Put the whole thing back together again. Finally used the knife to secure the boot around the pipe.  It was a good day to have an ALX.

I used a Victorinox mini screwdriver to take apart a couple of 2.5" hard disks (for fun ). I couldn't find a small Torx bit but the screwdriver was a perfect fit

[Sazabi]

I used the ruler on my PowerLock to ensure some wood was the correct thickness; it's a good thing I didn't have my Spirit on me today. ^^;

[captain spaulding]

Used my Juice C2 to tighten some screws on a air rifle.

[captain spaulding]

I used the saw on my Climber to cut a 2x4 in half.  I also used my Juice C2 to fix a dog collar. 

[tattoosteve99]

I used my gerber 400 to repair another gerber 400. Lol.

[turnsouth]

I also used my Juice C2 to fix a dog

When I first read this, the line wrapped after the word "dog" and I stopped reading and thought WHAT?

Then I read the rest 

[jojotlc]

used my skeletool to tighten 1/2 pvc water plug to isolate leaking line for temporary fix before  missus do   
due to recessed access, bigger tools not possible. didnt have extension socket with me.
now got reason to wait up for my old LM wave to come..

HAHAHA now that would be worthy to put on Tool Tales on the Leatherman website.

I used my blast to assemble the base for a new 32'' LCD tv for my gaming purposes.  We have a nice Samsung 52'' LED, but the wife hogs it when she gets home and doesn't want to watch my "BOOM HEADSHOT!!!" sessions all evening.  I told her the solution was simple: buy me a secondary tv and you can watch whatever you want.  We went down to Walmart and picked up a Samsung 32'', but after I got it all assembled I found that the remotes are on the same frequency so whenever I was playing and she would turn on the big TV, it would turn my TV off.  I ended up heading back to Walmart and exchanging it for an LG 32''.  The salesman laughed at me and said that pretty much happens weekly.

Cracked some freshly picked hazelnuts with my Juice.

Multi tool and hazelnuts, winning combination 

[turnsouth]

Met some friends last night for dinner and they were coming from an event that needed wristbands. So the Style CS came in handy "unbanding" them.

Mmmmm hazelnuts. Those are great.

This isn't my story, but it does illustrate how a motivated person with a multitool can get the job done even when working in a demanding situation.

In "War" by Sebastian Junger  is the true story about a platoon of Soldiers is dropped on the side of a mountain in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan.  At first they lived in tents surrounded by Hessco walls.  Eventually some 2x4's and plywood were delivered, but they weren't given tools to use.  They successfully built huts out of the lumber using the multitools that the Army had issued to them. 

Can you imagine making multiple cuts on 2x4's using the saw on a multitool?  That would be a challenging task under good conditions, but these Soldiers were in firefights every day sometimes multiple times per day.

I love my Blast, I can do pretty much whatever I need with it and whatever I have laying around.  Impressive that soldiers could build huts with them though, that is a huge testament to the usefulness of a Multitool and the perseverance of service-people.

I actually cut a 2x4 a few days ago with my SAK Camper. It got the job done but it was not the easiest task I have ever done. I would hate to do more than one.

The last few days I've found that the pry bars flat drivers in the ST300 work great for persuading the "no drip" tops off of liquid laundry detergent bottles, so you can pour out that last bit of detergent 

Waste not want not, I like to say.

Or as my wife says: "I can't believe I married such a cheap (insert the common used term for a child born out of wedlock here)"

I just fill it a quarter to half way up with water, put the cap back on and shake it. Pour the rest out and your good to go.

Yea but, how does that give you the opportunity to use a MultiTool?

Very true.  :

Yes, we must always embrace the opportunity to use a multitool, even if there might be a quicker way.  Like when I pop the tops of screwtop beers with my Blast's bottle opener!

Today at work I used my Legend 800 to cut metal strapping, used the scissors to cut cable ties, the knife to open boxes, the pliers to twist the ends of a small piece of wire together.

At home I used the saw to cut down three trees (well, more like small shrubs), the scissors to prune a climbing rose bush, and also the scissors to prune a few out of control grape vines.  Oh, I also used the cutters to snip the ends off of my jigsaw blades so they will close with no interference.

[tattoosteve99]

I used my BO sog file to round off some old SAK rivets to disassemble it.

[jerseydevil]

My Blast with the bit driver attached was the champ of some Irene cleanup tonight. I used it to dismantle some shelving and a display case, as well as some waterlogged furniture that had to be broken down.
