Winter is here so some vitamin C is in order.

I actually got some fair use out of my C2 today. Philips driver mostly, but the flat-heads saw some work. My VIC Climber also got some cutting duty today.

You make it look so EASY

I'm curious to try the orange peeler myself, looks pretty handy plus an excuse to get some vitamins... "Vitamin V[ictorinox]"

UIsed my Juice S2 and my Pioneer to adjust the vents on some radiators at home today.

I used the flat driver of my wingman to make adjustments on some rope rescue gear while coastguard training today , worked very well too

I decided to get some of my holiday decorations up a bit early while the weather was still nice, and I used my Charge quite a bit in getting everything in place. I also need a little help from a tool I couldn't fit in my pocket.

From this weekend:

Farmer to whittle some dowels to fix the armrest on some stage furniture.

Used the phillips driver on my BO swisstool to drive some wood screws for assembling two of the theatre props.

Blade on my juice s2 to cut some black paracord which was used to "magic" some props offstage.

Good weekend for the multis.

I used my ST300 to do a bit of phone line rewiring in my ancient apartment. Mostly loosening and tightening small screws and using the PE blade to peel off insulation on a bit of wire.
now everyone has wireless access

I used my Wingman all day opening boxes and such.

I was a bit disappointed a few weeks ago when I tried to use my Gerber Artifact to tighten a 6mm'gutter bolt', the 'screwdriver' was no help at all

But I have been using it to open paint tins this week it did a Great job!

Used the saw on my Sidekick to trim up the new Christmas tree, and the blade to cut rope once I finished tying it to the Suburban. I used the tweezers on my Style to pull some little devil (glass maybe) out that I stepped on while barefoot. Thankfully I had my keys with me & used my Fenix light and tweezers to handle the problem right there. Also hung some things for the wife in the house and used my Sidekick to remove some nails and screws from previous decor.

Wensday Night I used the Screwdriver/Can Opener on my RescueTool to pop out a bad Gladhand Seal...Tightened up some screws and such around the House and used my OHT PE to open a Fine Imported Lager from Piitsburgh as I watched Football on Sunday..I have gone from MultiTool on Person to Pliers and now I keep my Multi close at hand in my "Jack Pack" along with a pair of Klien Linesman Pliers/Scissors/Pump Pliers...

edcgear · **Reply #2533 on:** November 28, 2011, 01:47:25 PM

I used Juice S2 and PTX Piranha to pull licence plates from truck.

Front side w/bolts which were rusted so I used S2 to unscrew and PTX to hold bolt.

Rear side was riveted so so I used PTX to pry/tear licence plate...

Today I used my LM wave along side my modded alox to repair my microwave. Note: never! never touch the capacitor in these things. It will kill you! After having said that and isolated the capacitor, one if the safety switches was bad. So I took it apart and repaired it until I can get a new one. Man I would be lost without my tools.

I have a SwissTool Spirit Plus w/ ratchet and a widgey bar in the pouch.
Busy day for my swisstool.
1. Used the scraper to remove old caulk from a tub & shower unit to I could apply new caulk.
2. Used the pliers to reach into a 1 1/4" trap arm brass to copper adapter to pull out some hot chrome plated brass(since it broke off & I had to heat it with a torch to loosen it).
3. Used the ratchet & extension and my self adapted 1/4" nut driver to remove the burner assembly door from a 40 gallon gas water heater.
4. Used the self adapted 5/16" nut driver on my bit case to remove a hose clamp holding a float on a busted sump pump.
5. Used the widgey bar to quickly open a sump pump box so that I didn't have to open a blade to do so.
6. Used the flat screwdriver to open the drain on that aforementioned 40 gallon gas water heater.
7. Used the knife blade to cut an escutcheon(plastic) to snap around a trap arm.

Seems like their was more but I had a long day too and don't recall. Just another day in the life of the SAKplumber!

Used the awl on my Farmer to shave down the plastic end of a phone cord so it would fit into a jack. A bit more sophisticated than my usual "blunt force" approach to tech support

used the wenger can opener successfully for the first time! I've tried in the past but never understood it. Happened to see a video on youtube where someone demonstrated it and now I finally get it - you go backwards (compared to the vic way).

jerseydevil · **Reply #2538 on:** December 09, 2011, 10:25:51 PM

Well, just managed to pull a Captain Spaulding

and cut myself pretty good with my latest acquisition. I'll post pics of the new toy when the bleeding stops. It's a beaut! And sharp.......

used my LM micra tweezers today at work to get a metal splinter out of a fellow workers hand. and because we was outside, i used my fenix E05 to see what i was doing. great tools. luv them both.

665ae · **Reply #2540 on:** December 10, 2011, 11:59:25 AM

Used my Charge AL for several cutting tasks at work tonight, as well ad the pliers to turn some rusty nuts.

turnsouth · **Reply #2541 on:** December 10, 2011, 08:24:22 PM

Well I'm finally getting around to putting the vinyl flooring down in my bathroom remodel. My wife says that 15 months has been long enough, I think that we will miss that natural OSB construction site look

Anyway, been using a Core to snap off the scored vinyl, and I actually used my smurfy little adjustable wrench to set the toilet. Worked remarkably well, it is well built, nice fine adjustment screw. It's a shame that they had to put a sub-par multitool on it.

captain spaulding · **Reply #2542 on:** December 11, 2011, 09:11:45 AM

Nothing real exciting. The skele is on cap lifting duty tonight.

Mercury · **Reply #2543 on:** December 11, 2011, 07:12:10 PM

I used my blast to cut up some awesome beef jerky yesterday. I also dreamed last night that I used the saw on my blast to cut up some wood. I don't know why.

5hif7y · **Reply #2544 on:** December 11, 2011, 07:50:55 PM

i used my juice S2 to change the fuse on my parents xmas trees light. worked a treat

My kitchen knives are mostly rubbish, I needed a sharp blade to cut some fresh tarragon up so I grabbed whatever was to hand, a wenger evogrip.

I do like the belly on wengers.

Used my LM Juice S2 pliers to unlock a door latch
