I thought this was pretty funny. Today two kids ran towards me saying "Sir,  sir! Can you help us? We put a bumper sticker on this ground spot light and now it is smoking like crazy" at first I was laughing and then I thought that I didn't have anything to remove it other than a knife, but I don't like pulling a knife in public especially not in front of kids. But then I figured; I got my dcf knife with prying tool exactly for this. Needless to say it made short work of the bumper sticker.  :multi:

I was setting up a large, articulated tripod on a photo shoot today. It was quite old and hadn't been used in a while so most of the adjustment bolts were very tight but one just couldn't be turned by hand. Luckily I had the Crunch with me and it just barely opened wide enough to clamp on. It definitely saved the day and was another example of a task that neither my Spirit nor Charge would have been able to tackle.

How do you like that DCF? I am thinking about getting one but I don't know how to go about it. Do you use the contact info at the bottom of the page or do they have a store online?

Use the contact button on the bottom of the page. His tools have an excellent quality, handcrafted entirely to your preference meaning; if you want a certain tool on it, or an inch longer or shorter it is entirely possible.  I also liked that my tool received two weeks of heat treatment.  You don't get that everywhere.  That said,  his products aren't cheap and you need to wait a while for it.  Overall, I am very happy with his product.

Used my Wenger cigar cutter yesterday on some cigars. Worked very well, despite the high alcohol consumption of the operator.

Been wondering about that cigar cutter. I've been eyeing it for a while but I wasn't sure how well it would work.

I have a Xikar cutter and several of the usual guillotine ones so I never saw the need to use the Wenger. The scissors always felt that they had a bit of play in them so I was worried that the cut will be bad. I may have used them once before, ages ago.
Well, I was surprised yesterday. Sliced both cigars, a corona and a large torpedo very easily and cleanly; no shredding. I also have the Victorinox one, but I have never used it as I like a cut rather than punch for my cigars and I also like the torpedoes that cannot be punched. The victorinox is, however, slimmer. A sharp thin slipjoint blade also works well in an emergency.

I decided to clean up a bit and threw away  about 9 old bags and purses....however, they still had some nice and useful thingies I didn't want to throw away... so I had an hour fun with using my PS4 knife and pliers, cutting & pulling out different straps, small carabiners, buckles, rings and other stuff I could use as keychains or adding to MTs or sth.... It was such a cool tool day... and the tiny blade of the PS4 is just outstanding :D

These (and a lot of tape and boxes) were used to pack from my old house


And these were used to build everything back together to my new house


Not today, not even on a single day, but I consider it one project :whistle:

I'm not sure what a slipjoint blade is. I'll shmoogle it to find out I guess.

I'm sure that's one of the sanremu knives and usually has a bird etched on the handle.   Sanrenmu 401 ?

In general it is folding knives that use a spring to keep the blade open or shut, without locking it, like most SAKs blades and many traditional style knives like the Case sodbuster, barlows, toothpick knives etc. Usually, since they are not designed for stabbing or chopping down trees they have thinner blades, compared to locking knives.

The small one is a Sanrenmu 401, the bigger on the first photo is a Sanrenmu 763.

Used my Victorinox Manager's flat screwdriver to fix the handle on some equipment.
First time ever; that screwdriver is tougher than it looks!!!

Used my Wingman and MUT to try to remove a coax cable tip. The tip was locked up on the cable so I had to get a new cable and tip. Wingman fail #1986123!¡! Only thing on the Wingman that's impressed me so far is the package opener. I know that I've said that I was dropping the Wingman from EDC and this was the last straw for it. It now officially belongs to the Mrs.

I had a couple of cable ties on the cycle to clip. Used the Style CS and it worked like a champ.
Getting ready for Soldier Ride San Antonio. I leave for it tomorrow morning and return Sunday.

Yesterday was a pliers' day... I mean, I never really need pliers, but yesterday they came reeeally handy. I needed to break the top of an ampule, but it was a weird one, wouldn't break the normal way with your hand... so I caught the bottom with a towel to prevent cutting myself, the top I caught in the P4's pliers and it worked :D

Then ... I bought a new TV... so the knife of the P4 helped a lot to open the tough box. Then I needed pliers again to remove a nasty sticker put in a freaking tiny corner on the stand. Then I needed a screwdriver to attach the stand's parts to one another.

Then I needed a screwdriver to tighten two loose screws on our doors....

Of course, the PS4 would've performed just as well, but I happend to have the P4 on me :D Love it :D

I demontated and montated two computers with my Skeletool CX (with bits) alongside a Micra today. It worked excellent wouldn't have wanted anything else. I needed light stuff that could tackle my problems in a delicate way. Also used my Sipik 68 for some extra light.  :multi:
