Yep, Doc Z is trying to stop an alien Bananaman invasion by posting their party god on the beginning of every page

My brother has bought an old caravan, but it's been suffering water ingress and needs refitting. I was having a quick survey of it earlier today and removed a panel out of the wardrobe so I could access the boiler.

Tools used Alox Rambler and MP426.  :tu: the small screwdriver on the Gerber was also used to clean some crud off the scale grooves on a knife of mine he'd got sitting in his shed for the last two years.

Sorry no pics! The mrs bought a new flatpack wardrobe and I assembled it using nothing but my wave and a hammer for the pins on the back. Wasn't as fast as using a drill driver or dedicated screwdriver but sure was fun! Needed the pliers to hold the panel pins for the back while I nailed them in

I used the MP600 Pro Scout's file to force the opening mechanism thingy on my dad's truck tailgate  to open it.

Used my Vic camper which I keep in my car to assist in replacing brake light bulb in Nissan altima. was able to use screwdriver functions to pry little plastic clamps off trunk carpeting, but alas, had to switch to a small dedicated flatehead to pry wire harness clamps off bolts and a crescent wrench to undo nuts and remove whole rear assembly of light:here is the backside of this module which I guess took some water and dirt leakage through gaskets(nice job Nissan!)




Guess a few pics of the sak in action would have been nice, but it was cold out
than I cut up an old T-shirt with sak main blade and clean that gook out before reassembling, did not want to pay dealership their crazy labor charge for this repair and another part I needed the brake light switch which sits behind break pedal and is an issue with this model and prevents you from starting the car sometimes. the parts were about $60 at dealership, All in all I saved a good $150-$200 ish in labor fees and didn't have to go up the stairs to get any more multi's or regular tools, had the vic, wrench and tiny screwdriver in the trunk, so It was a nice repair for me.

I used my Gerber Suspension to cut my pinkie finger on my left hand while cutting off a plastic tab on a dastardly Maine gas can, so I could get the confounded gas cap off.  Never knew I did it until I saw blood on my dungarees on the way to the gas station.

Ahem, used my Skeletool to open a floss container to rethread the floss that snapped (short fingernails), found out it was empty. Used it to rip open the packaging of a new one. You know, manly stuff.

Used skeletool pliers to take out some fuses in my jeep' fuse box. Dime's package opener to open some new baby teething toy for my son. (Those child proof packages are tough ) CS knife to cut up a hot dog and sandwich for my daughter and the scissors to cut various things during the day. Paper, chip bags, finger nail or two... you know some pretty rugged stuff on this end.

No pics, sorry.

no pics but heavy use on the last weekends. I help some friends and family to move the past 3 weekends.

First friend hadn't prepared her move, her apartment was a total trash, and guess what? not a single tool. Her boyfriend dump her and leave with the tools, letting her and the baby.
I had no idea of the situation and just came with a st300 and a pocket wrench.
And had to disassemble everything with just these tools. And i have to say, i was never so happy to have it.
Beds (both mother and baby one's), wardrobe, baby's park, everything was dismount with my st300 and pocketwrench. This is a beast combo. i even manage to unscrew some smurfty allen screw with the flat screwdriver. It totally saved the day

the 2 following weekends were helping my wife's cousin to move to his new house, which was still work in progress, but he have tools so less use of the st300 but it still was helpfull to dismount wardrobe, purge heaters and so on, the best tool is the one in your pocket and not the one in the other room. And my st300 was in my pocket!

I have many multitools, but the st300 is the one i prefers to use in smurfty conditions like those one and it's not as heavy as my surge.

Also glad you could help your wifes family as well :salute: :like: :like:

Just used the skeletool to fix a leak at my kitchen faucet. Wowed a waitress by using my Style CS to cut down the extremely long straw they brought for daughters drink cup. She was astonished that someone carried "scissors" around with them.
