What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[CanadianLMfan]

I used my spirit x to bend the tip of my huntsman's blade back after I dropped it on the floor and it bent

Did that before with my Spirit X, except I used the blade to pry and it was a custom Cerakoted blade.    I have pictures if you guys don't believe me.   

Post the pics!!!

Had to use my Sog again yesterday to clean my black powder rifle. I couldn't t help but to send some lead down range. Think I might have to shoot it again when I get home.

Model 1861 Springfield.  Lovely rifle, the last and best of the military muzzleloaders.    Replica?

Yes, I would love to get an original. I have to say, this shoots a tight group.

Good luck finding one.  I bought an original Model 1863 about 10 years ago for $1,500.  It's similar to the model you have, but with different barrel bands, internal springs, and hammer.  The hammer on the '61 has that odd bend to it because it was a carryover from the Model 1855, which had a priming system called the Maynard Tape Primer.  Imagine a roll of toy gun caps held in a metal canister under the hammer.  It wasn't very successful.  The Model 1861/63 and the 1853 Enfield are probably responsible for more American combat causalities than any other weapon family in history.....  And that's JD's military history moment for today, November 23.

I knew all of that. Looks like I'm not the only Civil War buff on here.

Used the main blade on the Spirit X to open boxes of new cigar inventory at the shop y'day.

Good to know at least one person understood what I was talking about...    I've been to all the major battlefields of the Eastern theater, in several cases more than once.  Plus the NJ Revolutionary War fields.....

I used my TTi for a very important task today. I cut the elastic string off my sons new winter boots.

Today was my newest Swisschamp's first day at the store.  It got a pretty good workout.    The can opener opened several tint cans.  The inline Phillips took the cover off a tint machine, and the pliers removed a burned out fuse.  The awl was used to clear a clogged nozzle, while the scissors cut coupons for customers and the large blade opened cases.  The large flat driver pried open a few cans of stain to draw samples and I didn't have a dedicated opener handy.  And most importantly, the fish scaler saw service as a fork, allowing me to steal a mozzarella stick from our bookkeeper at lunch.

Good first day on the job for your Swisschamp   I like using the fish scaler as a fork, and I like your sneaky stealth move

Fish scaler and the pen used together makes a great improvised chalk line.
Btw, cool ganking with a fish scaler.

I used my MT for the most noble purpose today... to open packages containing OTHER MTs.

Let me see if I can dig em out.


Just read my post and it sounds like my bent blade was on a Spirit, but it was a custom alox Solo.

[captain spaulding]

Can't find the pictures of when it was bent, but found the aftermath. Tooth marks from my Spirit after bending it back.

[PPCAPache]

Used my Surge a lot today

Undid some screws on a small table stand in one store.


And in another took the top off a large display stand...


What will tomorrow bring? Stay tuned...

I've only used my MUT to cut up some cardboard and nylon strapping.

[jerseydevil]

Swisschamp fixed a doorknob, tightened the handle on a frying pan, and opened a can of hash so far this morning....

Used my Winchester at work today to change filters and a UV lamp on a Deionized water system.

I'm considering using the awl on my Swisschamp to punch a new hole in my belt so I can use it as a tourniquet, then using the saw to amputate my left leg above the knee.  Not going to be a pleasant, pain-free day.....

That may take a while with such a small saw   What's wrong with your knee?

I did that many times to my belts over the years for the "just in case" scenario!  Not the leg part though!

It's a slow day here at the store, plenty of time to get to cutting....    As for the knee, I injured it playing hockey many years ago.  It bugged me some, but since I was a bit of a drinker at the time, I never realized just how bad it really was.  I got sober and WOW!    I was in just a bit of pain.  My kneecap was knocked off center, and pinned under a muscle, grinding all the cartilage and the meniscus away.  The first operation cut the muscle to free the kneecap and removed the frayed cartilage and meniscus.  But, the muscles on the inside of my leg had atrophied, and the cap wouldn't stay centered.  The second operation cut the top of my tibia and shifted it up, screwed into place, to try and keep the kneecap on center.  Worked, but I'm still in constant pain.    Physical therapy, injections - nothing's worked.  Apparently I need a new knee, but insurance won't pay for it since I'm only 34 and will need to have the replacement replaced in 20 years.  In other words, it's a total mess.

My Powerassist got used removing screws around the side panel of my bath ... had a water leak and the PA was the closest tool to hand. It did the job fine. I know these tools are not for everyone but I love it and the fact that implements can be changed/replaced make it a winner for me

Dang, that sounds like an ordeal then.  So you'll have to wait 20 years or so before you can get a knee replacement?

I sure hope not.  If the most recent round of injections (anti-inflammatory and -arthritis) don't do anything, it's an appeal to the insurance company.  The shots take about 8 weeks to take full effect, and I had the last one three weeks ago.  We shall see.  Today's another  walking day.........
