Used my SwissChamp's pliers to pick up a ton of old wood staples that escaped during one of my cleanups of the burn cage out on the farm. I noticed something strange, though. One of the jaw on the pliers appears to be magnetized.

Anyone else every notice this??

I know what I did is stupid and I know will forget and do it again
heres a tip: Do not use an all metal SURGE to unscrew computer screw without unplugging the computer first even if it is off!

I used my SOG Paratool to open a server rack to see if the soot from last weeks fire got sucked into the workings. (yes it did) $:-\$

I used my Farmer to open a slim jim and a pack of Mrs Fields cookies.

Used my Powerlock to pickup someones old shirts left in the back of a truck

Used the bottle opener on my new Wave to open a Sam Adams Blackberry Whitbier...I bought a 6 pack of regular boston ale, but apparently someone did the ol switcheroo in the store and one was this blackberry beer. It's OK, but I woulden't buy it.

So we're doing some renovation work in the basement. We have a Generator panel that in an emergency, can be run from a generator with a manual disconnect from the powerlines. We've run for a week that way after Hurricane Isabel a few years ago.

Anyway, we swapped from a standard hot water heater to an on-demand unit and therefore, the breaker for the hot water heater (240V) needs to be replaced with a 120V circuit (in the generator panel). Since it was gonna be open, I decided to put a dedicated plug to the freezer and a separate one for the computer (instead of having to run extension cords).

I did the whole job with my Cybertimer 41 and Skeletool (Skeletool for cutting wire and pliers work, everything else with the SAK).

Opening the panel box, pulling out 1 circuit and putting in 3 new ones, running the 3 circuits and wiring in the GCFI recepticles.

Used the pliers on a clutch to sort out the shredder. "Someone" had decided to try and shred an address label still attached to a plastic bag

Blackout · **Reply #263 on:** September 26, 2009, 02:33:12 AM

I used the flat blade on the Surge to tighten a hose clamp on a fuel line.
Also used the pliers on the Surge to tear off some of those crimp on fuel
line clamps.Then I used those same trusty needle nose pliers, to fish out
a nut off a solenoid that I dropped into a crack.

All of this took place on a generator, that I worked on for six hours today.
Never did get it to run right, but the guy helping me, did manage to set it on fire.

I used the Crunch to pull an old stubborn cotter pin to put in the control arm on my John Deere mower, however he cotter pin was too big, so I found a nail, put it in the hole and bent it to hold the arm, so I could finish the job. Tomorrow I will replace with the correct cotter pin.

No multitool use... but I did saber a jar of pickles with a mora yesterday.

Somehow the homemade pickled cucumber process had sealed the lid shut... four burly men attempted to open it to no avail.

So of course I had to saber it.

Dismantled a large cot, broke down and re-build child's bed and constructed a single bed. All with a Vic Spirit and ratchet

And so the chain of hand me down items continues to flow thought the family. So who needs a good full size cot?

My zipper on my shorts fell apart earlier, used the crunch to put the metal cover back on it that holds the zipper pull on.

Wait no that's one, how about "more fun", or "glass in teef"?
