At work today i had to take a phone order and discovered that the owner had stolen my pen as usual  >:(. I suddenly remembered that I had brought my Compact with me today! :) It's the first time that the pen has come in handy. If I could get plus scales for my Super Tinker life would be perfect......

Used a vix climber to take apart some biker leather trousers and reuse some of the leather to make a key ring case for my TT.

Used + items on my Vic Spirit (ratchet, extension and wrench) to tighten banister on stairs... That was overall tough job because I was drilling new holes with screw so now I can say that you CAN do tough jobs with Wrench and Ratchet from Vic!!  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Later I've used scissors on my explorer to cut cowlik that my daughter have tangled with chewing gum...  :D :D :D :cheers: :cheers:

Just finished installing a PIR security light in a back yard  :D

Fortunately Leatherman saved the day  :cheers: When it came to removing the old bulkhead light it had been attached using two square bit screws  :think: So that's what those bits are used for. Good job I had the full selection of bits and my trusty Charge at hand  :tu:

I believe in equality with my multitools so I used my Victorinox Swisstool RS for wire stripping duties  :tu:

And the best bit; no electrocutions  :cheers:

isn't it a little ironic to be using two MT's to do a job? ;)

Congratulations on not electrocuting yourself. :D

Used the Micra's phillips driver for the first time today while putting together the little stand that attaches to the tv. Worked much better than I expected, but it did slip a bit. Impressed me though!  :tu:

I used my Blast's screwdrivers today to remove all the outlet and switch covers in my entryway.  We are in the process of painting the Batcave to prep it for sale next year, and it is in full swing!  I will continue to post new exciting multi use as the project develops.

I told you it's all about promoting equality in the multitool world. It was a joint US & Swiss venture  :cheers:

I also had my UKPK in my pocket which also saw a bit of use  :D

Worked a get in for a theatre show yesterday. My charge TTI got a full work out. Impressed the resident stage manager so much, guess what he is shopping for today.
Also got to use my TT chopper for..... Opening paint tins. Did the job very well ( and the paint came off the tool too)

Just did a quick running repair on a security door with the Phillips on a Micra
First time I've ever used it, and I'm quite impressed how well it did  :o

I agree.  The Micra's screwdrivers are often overlooked as being really very handly, far better than any other keyring sized MT I've tried.  Shame they fold in quite so easily but you can't have everything. :)

Used the bottle opener tool on my Spirit X and the combo tool on my black Bantam to type up this reply.  It wasn't the easiest job in the world but they were both up to the task and performed quite admirably.  :multi:

No, the drivers on the Spirit X were not too slippy. :rofl:

Used my mini sd bit on my wave to replace the temples on my Wiley X sunglasses. I love this tool.
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

 :rofl: I don't know what you're trying to say ......  :pok: :P

I ought to also add that I went to grab the Gerber Flik later on to finish nipping the screw up, and the Flik just cammed out instantly failing to offer any further capability over the Micra. It was an old worn screw, but still ....  :-\

The final turn that was needed to coax the screw completely home came courtesy of the Swisstool CS Plus. No slippage whatsoever ... not even the merest hint of a slip, even on an old screw! Where's the "takes a bow" smiley?  :D :D
