What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

Used TWO MTs today as a matter of fact

My new Gerber MP600 DET and LM Skeletool to fix the brakes on my bike

Although packing Skeletool, Crunch and Supertool 300, it was all about the ST300 today.

I spray painted a tool I made yesterday. When changing paint bottles, the dip tube fell in a full bottle and I used the ST300 pliers to get in the narrow mouth and rescue the dip tube. I also used it to peel a lid off a new bottle of air tool oil.

Got a call later in the day; machinist crashed CNC machine, broken tooling. I went to assess and used ST300 pliers to remove razor-sharp metal shavings after determining we would have to remove the tooling and bring it back to the shop. The tooling was old, and not doweled in place, so I used the ST300 awl to scribe the X/Y footprint before removal.

Back in the shop, I used ST300 awl to "pop" the quick disconnect fitting to bleed off residual hydraulic pressure and then used the pliers to disassemble some of the broken pieces.

"skeletool" You mean two large MTs

Craiger · **Reply #3994 on:** October 25, 2013, 06:52:08 AM

Yeah, 3 MT's on my person for the last couple weeks. There is something wrong with me. And it all started happening when I began hanging around YOU GUYS.

If Leatherman just would have released the Surge on time, I never would have wandered into this MT continuum, and carrying a Wave AND a Surge..... Well that would just be silly, right?

Yeah, this place has that effect on us

I also know this from experience as well. Not complaining at all though. And silly is all in the eye of the beholder

I think that's pretty silly carrying a Wave and a Surge. That would be like carrying a ST300 and a Rebar.

Not silly at all. I carry a cresent wrench and a multi. Some carry a sak and a multi. Some carry two saks or two multis. If it works for them, then cool beans!

I try to limit the amount of weight in my EDC because I like my pants to stay up.

My pants stay up fine.

I carry a big SAK, a small SAK and a small multi. Pants always on :-)

Craiger · **Reply #4001 on:** October 26, 2013, 04:25:54 AM

I guess I should be clear, I still haven't bought the Surge, since it just came out and I already spent my birthday money on the Skeletool, Crunch and ST300.

But no, I don't think I would carry a Wave and Surge at the same time; they are too alike.

But a Crunch, Skeletool and ST300 all bring something unique to the table.

Pants Check: Yep, still got em!

My wife needed to cut a middle section out of an ornament she made. So after using the utility blade on my Mechaneer, she asked if I had a file. I gave her my new SOG PPP with the file deployed so she could do what she needed to do.

Pirahana pried the staples out of heavy duty cardboard boxes, and the Rebar helped put shelves into the cabinets that had been in those boxes. My Compact had an odd day in that all it did was keep my flashlight and wallet company.

Spirit X to make a teabox. Or a box for tea. Or something of that sorts

The day is still young, but I have used my Sog to cut some wire and cut down some great vine.

Apparently it's also good for cutting down "some great vine", but I'm unsure how it performs when confronted with a lesser vine. Maybe we should get Cupboard to do another one of his excellent cutting tests ?

I used the can opener tip to unscrew the cover to our bathroom light since the bulb blew. Also used the Spirit's chisel to scrape some stuck on food from a baking sheet. Worked really well, but also scraped up the baking sheet as well

Lmao.
We have a vine around here that is called "great" vine. I am not sure what its real name is but its what everyone around here calls it.

Yesterday I used the pliers of my LM Mini Tool to pull little stones out of the profile of my Magnum boots so that I don´t scratch the parquet of my parents-in-law.

Just tightened a couple of clamps on a vacuum system in my lab at work.

ducttapetech · **Reply #4017 on:** October 28, 2013, 02:26:27 PM

So far, nothing. No copper or barbed wire to cut. No screws need tighten. Nothing to cut with the blade. Not a smurfing thing so far.

I'm gonna go break something.......

The awl on the SI is the perfect tool to clear a clogged nozzle on an automatic tinting machine.
