Used the Pry Tool of my Free P4 to pry a bit some of the plastic latches of our green boxes to put a label in, (Image removed from quote.)

Seems like this Prying Tool/Package Opener/Screwdriver could be my second favorite Tool of the P4 behind the One Hand Open Scissors

Forgot to post those. Been a busy night for a Signal.
At first I found a Boss stompbox that had a malfunctioning battery connector. Used Signal to cut, strip, pull and hold wires while soldering. 





Of course a screwdriver was used to disassemble and then put together a fixed unit




Later I started tinkering with treble bleed addition to my Fender Telecaster, so in order to make testing of different cap+resistor combinations I created a short cable with alligators on both sides. Cutting, stripping with a Signal again, but also crimping this time



P.S.: tried all of the treble bleed variants and didn’t like any. Left the signal path as is right now and the way I like it best - two volumes, no tone. Do any of you guitar players out there use treble bleed?
Dream. Wish. Leave nothing undone. Repeat.

Used one of my Squirt PS4 scissors to cut more knots off my little fur child. works like a charm, perfect size for the task.

Cool... now can you fix the wiring on my Strat?  ;)

On vacation and busted my watch today.  Found a Casio on sale that should keep me till we get home.

Had to cut the wire cable, security tag, off with my sidekick that lives in the console.

Christmas gift from a couple years back.  Casio is smaller than I like but I can still read it without my cheaters.

I'm more mad, now, that I didn't salvage the battery, when I tossed it.

Used my ST300 straight blade to cut a small zip tie.

Used Rev pliers to push in spring loaded shaft.

  Was working on the car to find a rattling noise. After getting that taken care of, used the Crunch to cut the cold of a severely beat up oil pan heater. Closed the hood and noticed it was not closed properly. Used the hood release inside the car, and it was fully disengaged, yet I could not open the hood nor close it it down.

  Used the Crunch and its file to reset the hood latch. Went to close the tools up and the file fell off. :ahhh  Crystallized metal. /sigh

  So, off to the fatherland for it (Leatherman HQ) to get repaired, and maybe they can look at those blasted pliers that won't stay shot. /grr

Had some spare time at work today - decided to clean up around a little. Among many other improvements disassembled and cleaned my tiny Bialetti espresso maker. Used a can opener to lift and remove a rubber part.


Next I found out that filtering part needs a bit of special attention. Since I don’t have a Swiss Champ or any other SAK with a pin - had to improvise


Anyways moments later the unit was again refreshed, proud and ready

Attempted to use my ST300 phillips head on a screw but all it did was strip it (old and not great quality screws). Then I attempted to use my 1/4" drive on my LM carabiner...it ended up being a 9/32nd

So close. Based on position of the screws (up inside a machine with minimal room) i was forced to get a socket. Was nice to get some time with the ST300 though.
