Christmas as "the tool guy"
on: December 25, 2006, 02:52:51 AM
I just got home from a long day of Christmas parties.  Both my family and my girlfriends family knows I'm into multitools now.  This year, I seem to have become the guy they turn to to open packages and put things together.  Just today I've opened 20+ packages (both clamshells and boxes) and put together two bicycles, all with a LM Kick...

I really learned to appreciate the cutters on the Kick.  I'm starting to think kids toys are packaged by psychotics with a bondage fetish.  A couple of the Barbies my daughter received were held in the package by no less than 10 wire core twist ties.  The Kick cutters would snip right thru them.
If you took all the intestines out of your body and stretched them end to end... you would die.

That's why I always give good tools as gifts to my brother and father.  They live fairly close to eachother and spend the holidays together, and really need good tools to assemble all the stuff for my nephew!

I think next year I'm buying all my nieces those "my first SAK" knives.  Then they can open their own stuff...

Nothing wrong with that.  I got my first SAK when I was 5.  My mother was horrified which is probably one of the reasons I loved it so much!

I still have it too...

It beats being known as the cocktail guy!

All Sunday evening I was drafted to make Strawberry Daquiris for the wife and the rest of the family. I can make them good but thank God I don't have to drink them!

I would have far preferred my usual role as Mr Fixit. :laugh:

Wow, I've never been a "Colorful Enunciation-tail guy" before! What's it like?

(Although when I was out target shooting over the weekend, I did "colorful enunciation" the hammer back on my rifle several times!)  ;)


.....ya gotta love that family-oriented software.  :D

After the very obvious Waiter's Friend tool, or a Vic Waiter.

anyway, I'm just here to ask Def to post a pic of this fabled ancient SAK.
