Turned my Wave into an impromptu door wedge while working in an elevator shaft today.

dishwasher was on the blink - sorted it, but needed to cut the drain pipe for the waste hose, used my wave saw for the job, worked nicely, especially as i couldn't have got in with a hacksaw space was too cramped :)
didn't take any pics, was too busy cutting/fixing :)

Used the Skeletool to retrieve a screw in a 2 ft. hole.

Using my mod Rebar I repaired satellite few days ago. Easy job because it was here on Earth, not in the outer space as usual ;)

To open the parcel my latest leatherman arrived in. Wave modded with a rebar plier head that I bought off the MTO store. I couldn't buy the donor tools anywhere near that price  :mail:

Used one of the world' smallest scissors on my BO Wave MT (MultiTool) to open packs of BO screws that I used to assemble the beadlock wheels for a friend's scale MT (Monster Truck).
Somehow neither the wife nor my youngest noticed the Wave in the Hitachi screwdriver case. Can you say "camouflage"?
I could have used the LM 2mm hex bit to perform the installation, but there's no way I'm turning all those machine screws manually.

Used my S2 Juice (Philips driver) to take down the rails for net curtains, and the supports for the main curtain, so I could paint the walls.  Also  used the large flat head driver to open the paint pot, and the blade to trim back some backing wallpaper.  :)
Then put them all back up using the Juice again.   ;)

I used my wave to cut half a dozen pine 2x4s....


Whilst technically capable, you certainly wouldn't want to have somewhere you need to be in a hurry...

Should have taken a picture, but I dropped off a package at the pre-paid bin at the Post Office. The handle on the bin was about to fall off so I used my Skeletool Phillips driver to tighten the screws. All fixed! I probably violated some USPS or union regulation... Oooo and I'm sure it's on surveillance video too.... :ahhh

Yesterday, my OG Surge assisted in changing the water pump in an old Jeep. Unscrewing worm-drive clamps, scraping stuff, sponsoring package of new parts, pinching and testing the thermostatic fan-clutch spring, popping the hood through the grill because the lever only works when it wants to...all in sunny, near 90 degree Fahrenheit.

Then it was "Miller Time."

Used my LM Crunch to tackle a rusted and broken bolt on the AC rooftop unit that caused a horrible rattling noise. The Crunch is my least used LM and still looks like new, but when you need locking pliers not much else will do.
In the spirit of "one hand for your tool, one hand for yourself" there was no more hand for the camera, so no picture of the action.

Made use of the old PST ll to replace my OG Surge bit retention spring. Yep. The old, dedicated little screwdriver on that so-called "outdated" tool  has not yet failed nor gotten lost, and guided and set the new spring into place so the newer fangled tool could be fully useful again.

Nothing like dedicated drivers. Still really like the Surge, though. The repair/replace seems very effective. Held the tool up by the bit alone when I was done.
