5hif7y · **on:** December 11, 2011, 11:20:15 PM

xmas day offers an array of tasks to take on, cutting rapping paper, cutting off labels, cutting clam shell packaging, opening battery compartments....etc

so the question is, what tool are to going to give the honour of xmas day to?

i fink ill let me victorinox tinker take on the days tasks. at least untill i unbox a new ~~toy~~ tool.

what are you guys going to use?

Charge TTi. It should cover all the bases

i was thinking of going with a wave but as im travelled about to see different family members, and ill have alot of gifts to carry, i want something light weight. so i fink my tinker will do. and a fenix E05 for light.

Probably my SwissTool Spirit X, unless I want to go old school with a PST or PST II. Will definitely supplement with either a dedicated folder or a SAK, aside from what's on my keyring (Fenix E01 and alox Classic SD).

It'll be a combo, a Mastercraft scissor MT and a sturdy Sanrenmu 763 G10 Axis Lock knife.

I'll probably go with my Wright's Senator (I find wharncliffe/lambsfoot blades very useful on most packaging) and a Deluxe Tinker in case there's any fiddling & faffing needs doing

Zed · **Reply #6 on:** December 12, 2011, 09:46:01 AM

probably my opinel #4 as not too scary

or possibly the little true utility mini MT i got from gareth as a handy little tool

dks · **Reply #7 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:04:15 PM

I really, really, want to use my, user, LM Flair not only for opening parcels but for eating too, though I think I may look a bit weird doing that... Unless I have a few drinks and do not care about how I behave.

Juice S2, with either Vic Tourist or Benchmade Emissary to compliment.

Gareth · **Reply #9 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:16:30 PM

I'm thinking Juice as well, a Sc2 I think. Might go with a Vic Clipper to compliment it as well.

Same here, probably pared with a Vic Executive.

My Super Tinker always gets Christmas duty, not about to snap a tradition

Pacu · **Reply #12 on:** December 13, 2011, 04:35:15 AM

My Vic handyman

Nikos · **Reply #13 on:** December 14, 2011, 01:41:49 AM

BO Spirit X CC (same as always, that is...

)

Sean · **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2011, 08:10:22 AM

I will probably carry around my Vic Swisschamp for a change.

Pignut71 · **Reply #15 on:** December 17, 2011, 08:04:05 PM

I will be carrying my old faithful Explorer, I will be needing to open battery compartments on toys and I really like the end screwdriver. Will probably have my handy little squirt p4 on standby just in case I need some little pliers or wire cutters (for those really annoying wire straps that most toys are held into packaging with)!

Happy Xmas to all...

ATB, Jon.

MadPlumbarian · **Reply #16 on:** December 17, 2011, 10:55:01 PM

A orange SAK Alox Cadet, engraved.. from my two boys.. JR

zatoichi · **Reply #17 on:** December 18, 2011, 05:24:23 AM

Mora knife.

Simple, sharp, cheap.

Singh · **Reply #18 on:** December 18, 2011, 05:19:47 PM

Kitchen shears. Why dull my Swisstool Spirit on clam-shell packages? That's like using Excalibur as a letter opener.

But last year on xmas I used mt MY to fix a wobbly chair.

Screwtape · **Reply #19 on:** December 18, 2011, 05:51:23 PM

Probably a Vic midnight manager, no need to go Rambo in front of the inlaws.

There will be a Spirit close to hand for any heavy duties though

5hif7y · **Reply #20 on:** December 20, 2011, 12:30:22 AM

some great answers so far guys and gals. keep them comming

sawman · **Reply #21 on:** December 20, 2011, 12:47:58 AM

I'll probably use the Flash II for any heavy clam shell packaging, and my Pioneer for everything else.

Beerplumber · **Reply #22 on:** December 20, 2011, 08:18:39 AM

I can't decide between the octane or the wingman for the clamshell openers and my lady should have her tti handy for those tiny screws.

Stay multi my friends

Just finished doing my present wrapping,aided and abetted by my 84mm Golfer.Could see it seeing more duties on the day,unless things go badly wrong in the kitchen,in which case I may regret not getting a Tactical Tomahawk!

I've recently acquired an 84mm golfer myself thanks to tatoosteve's assistance, and I think I might be leaving my originally intended combo in the drawer on Sunday. In fact I think I might just put my micro tool tin in my pocket too. I reckon the pruner blade on the pioneer harvester would be a fine choice against the evil that is clam packs

Mr. Whippy · **Reply #26 on:** December 23, 2011, 11:20:52 PM

Set up the tree with my Electrogolfer:

This will likely be the tool of choice through the holidays.

5hif7y · **Reply #27 on:** December 23, 2011, 11:29:44 PM

im still going light weight with a SAK tinker, a micra and a fenix E05 on my keys. should cover when i need

Syph007 · **Reply #28 on:** December 24, 2011, 02:49:25 AM

We had the siblings xmas party with all the kids tonight. I brought my swisstool spirit x... It handled all the jobs admirably! I dont understand how some people have NO MTs at all!!!!
