Been using a bit from my TTi to adjust the pivot screw on the Benchmade 940, finally got it settled in where I want it.

Also used my TTi/phillips today to tighten the paper towel holder to the wall in the restroom.

Last night I used both my SwissTool X SS and SwissTool Spirit X BO to fix the refrigerator's door into correct position.

Used my BO Wave to fix a printer.

imagine this ! ~
balanced on a set of steps, paint filled roller in hand, it became obvious i DID need to remove the wall light just as the wife had 'suggested' only moments before i climbed the ladder! Hand moves swiftly to my pocket to unleash my trusty wave or swisschamp or wingman ...or..or....oh!

"can i borrow your 'squirt' love ?"

I used mine to open the packaging for this

Yes, an Apple Magic Mouse. Just got it today at Best Buy.

Have to share this one. I just used the ruler on my swisstool to measure my 8 year old's Bane/Batman action figure. He needed to know so he could shop online for compatible figures. Thank God for multitools!

Today I used my MP600 and Wenger SI to open up a paint shaker, replace the timer, and get it working again.

Before, the shaker would just keep running and not shut itself off-paint doesn't usually need to shake for an hour!

We visited my mother in law for a few days.

Today, I used my SwissChamp to fix her TV cable, my wife used the tweezers for beauty reasons and the file + scissors to fix a broken nail. I also used the pliers to unscrew the head of a - final resort - telescopic pen that I carry on neck and check the fill that stopped working.

Did I mention that I love my SwissChamp(s)?

Used my LM PST to take off the back of my Timex Expedition pocket watch so I could change the battery.

trouthunter · **Reply #3100 on:** September 30, 2012, 06:39:44 AM

Used my PST to open a new Washer and Dryer.

What do you think about that Pirahna? I was considering it for the Christmas pool thing (unless I get your name).

That's one awesome one peace tool!!

I have that and PocketWrench II... Both worth every cent!!

Use it often for various tasks (scraping and paint bucket opening today) and it never failed me!

Used the Wingman's package opener to clip some vines away from the house.

Mercury · **Reply #3105 on:** October 01, 2012, 12:54:53 AM

Ahh, the wingman package opener. The one thing that makes the wingman worth spending money on.

MARIOS7319 · **Reply #3106 on:** October 02, 2012, 01:03:58 AM

I use my trusty Craftsman to fix in place the metal contacts of the wiring in my car's mirror.
Someone has broke the mirror a few days ago.

I was lucky because neither the mirror, neither the plastic housing was broken.

Only one washer was broken, that holds in the right position the internal spring that helps to open or close the mirror.

Used the diamond file on my LM Charge to reprofile the metal of the scissors on my newly arrived Gerber 800 today. As delivered the spring for the scissors was pushing to the side when you got the scissors nearly closed. Changed the angle where the body of the scissors pressed against the scissors so that it held the spring "in" and now they work much better.

I'm really liking the LM diamond files, I have also used one to smooth off a couple of sharp edges on the locking lever pins on some SOG powerlocks.

dks · **Reply #3108 on:** October 02, 2012, 06:21:06 PM

used my manager to open a paulander bottle!

dks · **Reply #3109 on:** October 02, 2012, 07:31:37 PM

.. then used the manager to complete a form with its pen and cut it out with the scissors
Really heavy duty tasks!

(I did change a tap earlier but I used my German pipe wrench and sweedish adjustable spanner for that...

)

Amici,
I used my "swisschamp" to open several boxes that contained servers later to also break them down even further by cutting them into smaller manageable pieces.. Very enjoyable, thanks to great steel and edge retention..

Cheers,
Serge

Figured that the scissors of PS4 come very handy when you're sewing something.

magentus · **Reply #3112 on:** October 03, 2012, 08:37:24 PM

Used my Huntsman tin opener for prising out fuses to try and fix the tv at work.

My wife love the LM Micra for sewing projects

I used my Micra today when we were picking grapes at my village

The little thing was subjected to about five hundred ... cuts for the two hours of work I did

nuphoria · **Reply #3116 on:** October 06, 2012, 09:00:37 PM

Mmmm, yummy grapes!

Used a Charge file for filing down the point of my regular nail file - it was not good for cleaning under nails, now it's fierce
