Used the can opener on my Huntsman to scratch off a lottery ticket, and won $10!  Multitools for fun and profit!  :tu:

The TU 47 was used to clean the dirt out under my nails before getting sized for a ring. Classy right. The chick next to me thought so.

A few bits of DIY today, nothing too big.

Replaced some of the plumbing under the kitchen sink, and replaced the valves on the taps on the kitchen sink. Spirit can opener popped the caps off so the Spirit Phillips could remove the heads. Pioneer Harvester used to shorten one of the outlet pipes, and the awl used to put a cup hook inside the door for hanging a dustpan and brush. It needed opening up wider as the dustpan wouldn't hook on, but the Spirit pliers sorted that in a jiffy

Still need to track down (or improvise) a fitting for the overflow though  :think:

The LM tools were on craft duty today with the girls. Center pieces for the wedding. One big field test of scissors. The Rustman,Squirt ps4,and Style Cs,Ps. The big winners were the Styles.The truly girlie verdict on the two others is the squirt is cute,and the rustman is big and dumb.

I myself repaired the parlor black iron lamp with the BO Fuse. Needed new guts.The 3way selector crapped out and I replaced it with a pull chain selector. also gave the rustman some love and used the clamshell tool on the new orange fuse clamshell package.

Yesterday I used LM Blast to pull some staples,remove screws-nails from walls I was painting. Chapman ratchet/bit's to take the locks of 10 windows, used pocketwrench 2 to open paint cans.

Today used Blast to strip some wire, my pocketwrench 2 to pry up some skirting on a trailer house. Then I lost it :(

Sucks I used my pocketwrench 2 a lot we finished the job installing that trailer so I won't be going back. I bet it's under the house :(

Did I say it SUCKS yet. SMURFF

I'm bummed it was a very handy tool.  :ahhh

Used my PST II and Farmer to repair the starter pull on a power washer, and to unclog a tint machine.  Gotta love the alox awl for clearing a clogged nozzle.  :tu:

Used my Juice S2 to replace a light switch. I've never before heard of a light switch going bad, but apparently it happens. Huh.

And it looks like the ballast on our kitchen fluorescent light is about shot, so it'll be up on the repair list soon.

I think I'm due to receive my home repair badge any minute now.

Nothing too ambitious for me today... all I've done so far is use my CT Lite to open a medication package for my wife, and to tighten the screws of a few of the handles on the cabinets in the kitchen.

I used the blade on my spirit x today to cut open lots of shrink rap.  That's all my knives get used for lately, cutting shrink rap off of beer pallets at work.  It sounds awesome cuz beer is involved, but I assure you this is the dullest use of a knife I can think of.
