My knifeless Fuse helped me install a new dryer vent. Of course, I had to wait till it is one of the coldest days we have had so far with a cutting wind thrown in for good measure. The MT came out like a champ as always. Saved me a trip back into the house for a more dedicated tool.

Drawer at the bottom of the range came off its tracks, loose screw on the retainer. It was one of those "Do I just grab a screwdriver, or do I use a MT?" moments

A SwissTool, and a few minutes later, all fixed

I've used saw on SwissTool and Sodbuster to make "magic wand's" to my kids of old branches while walking in park...

Put together a small piece of furniture from Target with the TTi this afternoon.

#2 swisschamp (various, mainly pliers) to remove coins from a kids music keyboard. My son had stuffed about two dozens of coins inside the keyboard I'll post a picture later.

So here is the picture... the amount of coins the kid manage to insert inside the keyboard. All thru a little slot used to control the volume!

Today another SAK user, this time my daughter opening a stickers package... and don't worry, she knows that the cut is to be done forward away the body / hands.

I just got back from spending a few days with the in laws. The CS4 got a workout. Several gifts were opened including clam shell and blister packs. We spent quite a bit of time ice fishing and used the MT to trim line, close sinkers and remove hooks from the mouths of Northern Pikes and Walleyes.

The ice auger broke down so the Juice was used to disassemble and reassemble the malfunctioning parts.

And, needless to say, many bottles were opened.

Just used my Sidekick to cut some rope to tie my garage doors shut . The wind which has now reached 60mph which is Storm force 10

was starting to catch the door at the top and bend it out .I tied the rope to the inside of the door with a bowline then passed it over a beam inside then back out the gap between the double doors and pulled tight then finished of with a round turn and two half hitches round the other doors handle . I think that should do the trick , I hope

I love this sort of thing, youngsters learning with encouragement and supervision front good parents, really makes me wish I had kids, well done

Just used my LM Juice Xe6 to open up a can of pineapple juice. (Haha, I used the Juice to get at some juice!) I'm glad I decided to sharpen the can opener as it was entirely useless beforehand.

dks · **Reply #2596 on:** January 04, 2012, 10:43:39 AM

I used the pen on the Victorinox Midnite Manager, yesterday, to write something in a shop.

I also just used the scissors and the nail file to sort out a finger nail.

Used the Pliers on a Fuse to literally rip apart a Masterlock.

EZ822 · **Reply #2598 on:** January 06, 2012, 04:03:37 AM

At work I used the saw on my LM Core to cut a hole in the drywall to get at a leaking AC pipe.

Used my Wenger Evogrip S18 to disassemble an HVLP (high velocity low pressure) spray unit for a rebuild, worked like a charm

why are you breaking locks?

edcgear · **Reply #2601 on:** January 08, 2012, 07:33:02 PM

I've been bored today... No demolition, no adrenaline... So... Just sitting and thinking... And you know how people say "leisured mind is devil's playground" (hope this translation have sense)...

So I dig out old leather bag...

Got me some glue, cord, needle, rusted nail, Sodbuster, ST Spirit....

And made this....

This pouch/wallet is first thing I EVER made out of leather... Only thing I forgot to do is to glue leather stripe that goes arround, and now it's a bit wiggly... But for first attempt, I'm sathisfied.

Havent used any template, just made it out of my head... Figuring out as I progressed...

So what do you think??

mvyrmnd · **Reply #2602 on:** January 08, 2012, 10:06:44 PM

I had to replace a door handle today. Old one has to come off, first. Charge with but kit to the rescue!

As it turned out, when I had to pull the old barrel out, the broad teeth on the pliers were at exactly the right depth on the head to give me a solid grip and rip that smurf right out of there.

Since the charge won't spin a hole saw, I couldn't use it to fit the new one

MTguy · **Reply #2603 on:** January 08, 2012, 10:42:44 PM

Today I used my SOG powerlock to install lights on my jeep... Used the wire cutters, blade, pliers, and the 1/4" bit adapter.

jerseydevil · **Reply #2604 on:** January 11, 2012, 10:32:56 PM

A while back I posted about using my Farmer to cut a calzone. I can now state with confidence that in the match-up between a Wenger Evogrip S18 and a stromboli, the S18 wins easily

.

If anything the Wenger was easier to clean compared to the Farmer, but that's probably simply a matter of no ricotta in the stromboli

.

I used my buck 110 to open a ton of packages at work, but the core of it's usefulness came in cutting up a special jalepeno cheese deer sausage that my blueprinter brought from his most recent deer. Delicious!

5hif7y · **Reply #2606 on:** January 12, 2012, 05:21:29 PM

I love the blast! It is really nice to have a blade in your MT that is long enough to cut a sandwich huh?

badwolf · **Reply #2608 on:** January 12, 2012, 07:09:24 PM

Same as yesterday, fencing repairing, just finished off refitting a gate latch, used a good old solid Leatherman Super Tool, its a bit battered and loose but great for this sort of thing

Zed · **Reply #2609 on:** January 16, 2012, 12:16:31 PM
