Opened an envelope. Feels so nostalgic, haven’t done that for years

Good teamwork.  :like: interesting how often you need two MTs to do a job.

Surprisingly was able to easily pull a micro sd card out of a really tight spot in my RaspberryPi computer with Signal pliers. Can’t attach a pic via Tapatalk though

Pulled out the Surge and used the knife to cut some plastic caught in a roller. Then used my rev pliers to pull the plastic out (surge was a little too big to get in there)  :tu:

  One of the merchandising carts had a missing bolt, and had been this way for a while. Needed to stack some boxes on the tailgate to get the cart through the lower hanging doors, too many cases on top. So, grabbed the PST and the widest screwdriver was not wide enough to hold, yet the file was.  :)  Which also gave me a rough estimate of how long a bolt is needed and how wide too.

Used my surge and LM bits to unscrew a plastic cover...which saved at least 10mins looking for allen wrenches.

Rev pliers to push in a roller shaft to put an o-ring.

Caked in dirt but job is done :tu:

Used Wave a lot just now to rewire my Fender Telecaster again. I learned that actually twisting wires coming from pickups could dramatically decrease noise levels. I spent a few days thinking of it and finally decided to go for it today. Wave helped with cleaning a tip of a soldering iron using a file, stripping wires, adjusting bridge saddles with a tiny hex bit and of course the entire thing was disassembled and assembled back using a Phillips bit. Forgot to take any pics though, yet Wave did amazing job a once again.

P.S.: twisting wires works true magic with single coils

Pulled the saw on my Surge and cut a trapped piece of mail. Stuck between the belt and pulley. Easy peasy.

I love this thing!  :multi:

Im no MacGyver but...for the first time ever I found a use for my awl. I never really thought they would be useful....HOWEVER...

I ripped my pants here at work. Zipper length right side then 6" down the thigh.

Got a ziptie and awl...and voila! No more public indecent exposure
