What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[Mr. Whippy]

Addendum to  yesterday's useage:

I used the driver on the file of my Alox Vic Classic to spin some Phillips head screws while adjusting throttle cables.  Tight space there, and no other Phillips driver would do in the space.

Used the end of the file on an old Esquire to get the crud out of the threads of the coupling nuts on a radiator.   

What an exciting life I lead 

[MultiMat]

Used my Spirit to partially dissemble my 30+ year old Masport mower & get it running  .
Had help from the mad tool Dennis sent me the 'Spark Doctor' for spark plug removal & cleaning duties.
Feeling very sore though , pull cord start + cranky old mower=sore flippen arms (happy I got her running though )

If that coupling joint isn't tight, it'll get pretty exciting, pretty quickly.

When the water was back on I was pleased to see the joints to the radiator were good.  Problem was the return valve decided it had had enough of life when I opened it up     

Though I suppose it did allow me to make use of my big King Dick adjustable spanner

I REALLY hope that's not a euphemism

Nope.  Tools for a dull afternoon

I happen to have a King Dick myself. 


Came with the tool kit in my Land Rover (Right Hand Drive--btw)

[Dunc]

I've got some King Dick Spanners somewhere    Do they still make them ?

I might have a smaller one^* somewhere as well but what's the fun in that

^* That's not a public admission OK

Not that I'm aware.  That one was 50p at a carboot sale a while back.  Proper bargain

[Mr. Whippy]

I like them.

Sort of halfway between a Crescent adjustable wrench and a pipe wrench (Monkey wrench).

HHHmmm    Would that possibly make them UK manufacture then ?

Mine was.  In 1967.   Originally delivered to a dealer in St. Albans.  Not sure how it arrived in the US though...

British plates:  LGV 721F  Maryland plates:  LGV 721F

* With the water pressure still on..? *  
Great shots, and I like seeing it used to do, what it was build for...

funny story, my mom told me she closed the main valve.......then i found out she didnt

[Neil]

Whoops

At least you weren't doing any electrical work

I just hates when that happens...

I've had other engineers do that to me, so I can't hold it against folks' Moms if they get it wrong.

a little water never hurt anyone.... i've flooded out 2 homes b/c smart people do silly things... including me.

[sappyg]

today i explored the sublime wonders of the infamous skeletool... i'm likin' this thing.
i mostly used the bit driver to adjust some electrical wall outlet covers. of course i had to show it off to a friend. it did well on both counts.

[Benner]

I have a King Dick as well, and I believe they were a company in the UK yes.

Yes, the one in the picture says Made in England on it.

Taken out of context, this sounds...   

  

[Neil]

I've got an even bigger one.  Though it needs a good cleaning up.  A bit rusty from years of non-use.

Hard to believe really. 

What are we talking about here? 

[Neil]

Do you need photographic evidence.

[Mr. Whippy]

Do you need pornographic evidence.
