What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[Mercury]

I was using my blast to cut straps off a large box today and I dropped it, blade open.  What do I do?  Instinctively I caught it with my hand between the desk and my body.  I only received a token cut on my palm, but still, lesson learned!

I used the Classic on my keychain to open a package (containing another SAK of course). Afterwards I put it back in my jeans pocket without closing the blade

1 minute later I reached for my keys and the Classic sliced open my middle finger blood all over the place

Yesterday I used by Bear & Sons Craftsman-rebranded Bear Jaws to install a webcam in a display mount at a well-known office supply store.

Used my Wingman to open up and slice a package of Proscuitto wrapped with mozzarella and a package of crackers! Also got a new electric tea kettle.

A couple of days ago I used a Gerber suspension to open the clamshell of a Leatherman MUT from Cabelas.

That tool should thank you for the privilege.

The only reason my glasses ever get tightened is when people here talk about doing it and it reminds me.

  i put some blue locktite on it as this happened a few weeks back so thought i would make it more secure

That's a really good idea.  I've had these glasses for over 2 years and never needed to take them apart.   I should consider that!

I carry locktite at work for the old folks glasses, they dont come loose again

Just ten minutes ago, fitted a new rear high level brake light using my new but old and battered KF4, great little tool regardless of its well used figure and yesterday using the same tool removed a faulty washing machine door closed switch and a PC PSU. In about hour from now I will be using the KF4 to refit a new door switch and a new PC PSU So quick question, what's the current equivalent to the KF4

From what you've described - the customer service line at Currys 

Otherwise, there isn't one

washing machine's turned in to a saga, more parts needed

The boys had the day off school today so we made vibrobots out of old phones and assorted other junk.  MTs used, one SwissTool, one custom PT-510, Leatherman PS and of course my ever present Scientist.

Excellent way to spend a day

This morning, I used my multitool's toothpick/braddle and flat head screwdriver to punch a new hole in my belt (tightening it, not loosening it ) I later used the clam pack opener to open a pack containing an LED camping light (48 LEDs in a ring configuration) and most recently, I used the blade to cut some dental floss which I used to perform a pre-emptive repair on my EDC rucksack   Multitool earned its pocket place today

[valvestem125]

I used the bronze carbon scraper of my new Leatherman MUT to remove some crud and small rust(?) specks from the cracks and crevices of my old Gerber Diesel.

I used my Leatherman Kick to remove a broken light bulb socket from a lamp at work after the bulb overheated and the glass fell right out of the screw in base.  First time I have ever seen anything like that in all my years.  The bulb was made in China BTW, but it was a "name brand".

 Last night I used the modified bottle opener to, shockingly, open a bottle of beer It still performed the task without issue, despite having had a wire-stripping notch cut in, and a fair bit of material removed from the back curve to form
a strap cutter Today, I had to use the blade to cut through some duct tape my father in law had use in a half-assed attempt at weatherproofing a cable trunking What I think of his 'building skills' really isn't suitable for publication...

Today I used my vise  to open the packaging on the new shovel and spade I used to bury my dog. Also to cut the ropes I used to lower his casket into the ground.

RIP Tiger, I will miss you always.

It works surprisingly well, doesn't it?   A heck of a lot quicker than the pin.

I am very lazy this morning!

I used the large flat screwdriver on my SC4 to adjust the CO2 regulator on my homebrew kegging system.  In three days I'll be enjoying my latest batch of dunkeweizen. 

Very jealous! I use my multi to adjust regs everyday! Anyways how was the dunkle!? One of my favourites!


Stay multi my friends

Thanks, he was my best buddy for seventeen years. He had been seriously ill for a couple of weeks and by rights should have been dead a week or so ago but for his strong will to live.
Yesterday I could not bear to see him struggle for one more day and called in the vet. I hope he can forgive me.

There's nothing to forgive Chip  It would have been unforgivable to let him suffer
