My buddy GasBaby

[Mr. Whippy]

Fine use.

But perhaps a Polar bear tomorrow then?

[Benner]

I'll see if I can fit one into my busy schedule.

DAY 11
Well after all this talk about zombies and Polar bears, this sounds a bit pathetic. 

Oh well, this thread can't always be as exiting as Day 9...

DAY 12

Today has actually seen quite a bit of GasBaby use.  Apart from the beer I just opened  , it also acted as a scraper again today to remove something sticky off of my kitchen hob and to get cack out of my nails after clearing out the Salons wheel arches.  Sadly though, I have no new use to add to my list.    To make up for it though, here is a pic for AHB of me removing cack from my nails

DAY 13

On top of looking after the 3 kids and the wife for the last 2 weeks, I have been doing a lot of sorting/tidying around the house and today I shifted a few pictures and mirrors around.  With this task came the need to pull out a few hooks and nails so the GasBaby was used as an effective nail puller.

No pics today AHB as I have been busy, but I stil have more to do so I will get some next time.

Since I'm not following this thread for the pics,  
but the ever exiting/informative aspect of your daily use of your OPT, I'm all fine..

I just used my Prybaby to squash an insect - does that count?

Instrument of death?  Definitely.

Don't say that. Next thing you know our governments will want them banned.

DAY 14

I'll keep this short as I have only just got in from my first day at work and I am knackered!

Today I used the GasBaby as a phillips screwdriver as where I worked had absolutely nothing else I could use.  I used the corners of the prybar and although it wasn't great, it did do the job (although it was time consuming).  No pics I am afraid as I was at work.

DAY 15

Today was a great GasBaby use day.  At work, I had the pleasure of making loads of flat packed furniture so I used the GasBaby to break the tape of various boxes and also as a door wedge.    Being in a care home, all the doors have closers on them and one of the cabinets was large and I needed more space and the GasBaby worked well at holding the door open for me.  Again,no pics as pics at work is a big no no.

At least they can't complain about that tool at work

DAY 16

Well I hate to bring disappointment to all my viewers, but the only task the GasBaby had today was tightening one slotted screw.    Have a bit to do tomorrow, so hopefully something more exciting will come then.

DAY 17

Today, because I am tight  , I went around my house looking for hooks in the wall that weren't being used so I could nab them and use them elsewhere.    The GasBaby worked well at getting the nails out.  Not a new use I know, but I have a pic this time;

DAY 18

Used the GasBaby to open one of the many paint tins that I have stashed in my shed today in a vain attempt at doing a clear out.  I gave up pretty quickly due to the rain.

DAY 20

Today the GasBaby saw a lot of use.  I used the flat screwdriver 3 or 4 times for various things, I used the prybar to pull out some batteries and I also just got to use the bottle opener again.    I think the wife is even starting to see how useful it is.

I just wanted to clarify that this is a genuine test.  I am not going around just looking for uses for the GasBaby, the list has been made up by real day to day things I have come across.    I could find loads of uses if I went looking for them, but sadly my life isn't that interesting.
