What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[NutSAK]

Vette. 

[MultiMat]

Burgman , the scooter with 'the lot'  .

 
The lot? I'm not sure I get it, I'm sorry, but it's got to be because of my english. It is still in the 'it sucks' phase. 
 

I think he means "with everything you might want".

That be it , thanks Gareth  .
A friend at work has a Burgman & I was really surprised at how much Suzuki manged to fit into the bike/scooter, like a Honda Goldwing that has been shrunk

who steals anything from a toilet? People are whacked.

Used my pulse to take apart some TV trays so I could sand and restain them.  It worked great.  Would have used the wave, but the screwdriver wouldn't reach the screws.  I supposed I could have used one half dozen or the other of my MT's, SAK's or even a dedicated phillips, but it was way more fun using the Pulse.  It needs some TLC now.

Used my Charge to budge a stubborn radiator fitting today, and tighten a door handle yesterday.

yes true 

I have no idea  but I couldn't help wondering if the Toilet swab used a MT to remove it

Used a Leatherman Juice CS4 to build and wire a bank of fluorescent grow lights.

Good work mate

The Charge hasn't been worked too hard recently; the wire cutters have snipped some plastic binders holding stuff together, the cutting hook has done a great job of opening boxes neatly and the screwdrivers are always useful.  I need to project to really flex the Charge's muscles on.

Just used my Spirit to open a bottle of Peroni. It's almost lunch time here in Roma. Cheers to you guys and 'buon appetito'!

i managed to get locked in a room at work today.  The handle was off to get re-keyed, but the latch still engaged when I was in the room.

Used the charge to pull on the latching mechanism through the opening in the door.  Thanks to the ALX, I'm still alive and maintaining!

Seriously, I could have, like, died or something in there...

minichamp, to take some notes and charge to check the insides of a pc both 10/10

You should contact Leatherman and ge them to publish you story of how you diced with death and dared the lords of fate.  How you battled with the hunger and fear and rescued yourself from certain death with your Charge.  I mean, its not like you could have called for help or anything...

Hi everyone,

I'm brand new here. Been using LM tools since the 80's and just got a new Skeletool CX, which led to my finding this forum. Good stuff. Anyway, today I had an appointment with an examiner for a life insurance application. you know, answer questions, draw blood, take blood pressure, and an EKG. When it came time to hook up the stick-on electrodes, the examiner panicked because I have lots of chest hair, and she had no razor. So, I pulled out the new Skeletool and started shaving some patches where ever she needed them. She panicked again, but it worked! First time I ever used a multi-tool this way.

[Smitty44]

Welcome to the forums Mootsman,great story,all I can say is that was one hairy tail you told.

Hope you like it here,lot of great members,and information to be had.

Last weekend I used the file on my ST300 to touch up the edge on my hatchet while clearing brush for the deer stand.

[cliosguy]

nice story mootsman, welcome to the forum

ROFL. That is brilliant

And welcome

Well, just got back from fireworks and bonfire on the beach.  Amazing night with good friends, good conversation, beautiful women and me setting things on fire  

The Charge got a good workout - the knife sharpened sticks for the marshmallows to get toasted on, lots of wood so the saw came in handy, and most importantly the bottle opener helped us all get drunk!
My Zippo lit the fire (I would have used the firesteel but it was blowing a gale and I was cold ) and the fireworks.  And my LD10 came in handy during the cleanup.

A great night.  I now smell of woodsmoke, which is great

Sounds OK

I just used a Freestyle to disassemble some shelf support/stud things. I'm hoping I have found a new home for all my boxes and packaging, but I'm not convinced yet 

[mootsman]

Thanks everyone. Oh, and i also used the plain blade on the CX to open a package from Leatherman that contained a new sheath and a bit kit - that's a little more normal. The day before that I used it to disassemble the dome lights in a Chevy Suburban for repair. I also carry a Squirt P4 all the time.

[Mr. Whippy]

On Tuesday, I came to work and found my fish mobile in a sad state of repair.  My daughter gave me that mobile YEARS ago and so I had to fix it.  2 fish were pulled off and the a fair number were knotted together.

With this in mind, I brought a Supertimer instead of my usual Cybertimer, because, I needed  the magnifying lens to work on the fine fishline of the mobile.

Fifteen minutes later,



And the reunited fish (before cutting off the tails)

I used my Squirt E4 to strip the insulation off wires I was trying to solder.  It took a second to figure out how...I've always just used a knife to do it...but once I got the hang of it, the E4 worked brilliantly.

[rp252]

Used the file on my Charge to file down a hook I was installing to hold up a pan.  The hook was too wide to fit in the hold in the pan's handle, until the charge came along

I have found the Knifeless Fuse handy on an almost daily basis at work. I have used it to unjam printers and photocopiers. Delve into naughty computers (fixed 3 loud case fans, 1 loud CPU fan, removed a few pieces of kit here and there, etc...), Used the file to sharpen a dull needle probe for a pumpkin carving contest we had for home room, removed a splinter from a student in one of the shop classes I was visiting. The scissors are super handy in a school setting and is probably my most used tool. In fact, I have fallen in love with the little Leatherman, and I do not miss the knife blade at all.

Used the small screwdriver on my Sideclip to fix my daughters V-Smile game..

Glad to hear you're enjoying it mate.  I'm tempted to invest in one of these now.

Glad you like it mate.    Mine sees daily use as well, and having no knife blade is just a bonus for me.
