My buddy GasBaby

Benner · **on:** November 03, 2009, 01:43:27 PM

Inspired by John's (Gadget Guy) "My buddy Chigger" thread, I thought I'd start a thread about my beloved GasBaby and show just how useful these things are.

Before owning my Atwood GasBaby, I had the flat GasBaby which I loved the shape and design of but wanted it's thicker brother. Thanks to John I now have the thicker version and I simply love it and it goes with me everywhere and is useful in more situations than I think people realise.

Just to show how useful this tool is, I will write up every day for the next month just what it has been used for that day and at the end of the month, compile a list of hopefully original and odd ways of using this cracking tool.

I have used it every day I have owned it so far, so lets see if it continues to earn it's keep.

In fairness I think thanks to all the baby talk while you we're offline, people are just ''Bennered'' out

I'll just PM you then, to save the aggro.

DAY 1

Well today is my first official test day and as suspected, my GasBaby proved to be as handy as always.

First task today was a loose latch on my garden gate which just needed a tighten with a flat headed screwdriver. Out popped the GasBaby and in seconds the job was done. Due to the taper of the driver, it fits many flat headed screws very nicely.

Later I went to open a can of drink (Pepsi for those who are interested

) and as I bite my nails $:-\$ I couldn't get underneath the ring pull to lift it. Out came the Gasbaby and the pry bar quickly popped the ring pull for me.

So, on day one we have;

1. Screw driver (pretty obvious one really)
2. Ring pull lifter.

Stay tuned (Mike

) for tomorrows update.

Here is my Gasbaby until Ben posts his:

Mine is a little unusual becasue it has 4 holes instead of the usual 3 hole.

I think a mod needs to retitle this thread, Ben's Colicky Atwood.

Benner · **Reply #29 on:** November 04, 2009, 07:08:55 PM

Well as it's clear some here just can't wait

, here's this evenings update.

DAY 2

As you will all know by now (Mike did his usual when promoting something

) my wife and I have just had our third child. With kids of this age, it's amazing just how many items of clothing you can go through, so here's me pulling of a clothes tag with my Gasbaby;

Usually I would have just ripped it off, but the wife was getting annoyed with all the stretched holes in things.

So we now have;

1. Screwdriver
2. Ring pull lifter
3. Removing clothing tags.

Stay tuned for tomorrows update, which will happen LATE evening.
