Install wire mesh to my balcony today to prevent clothes being blown away during strong wind, plus prevent mice sometimes run from nearby ledges and wires then enter my appartment. Put some good uses of the hard-wire cutters and the pliers on my Wave+  :multi:

Drilled a hole in a belt today, could have been better if my Wave+ had an awl, however, using the tip of the blade got the job done as well. Evened out the edge of the hole with the screwdriver :p
I guess if I need to drill small holes for wrist watches, the glass screwdriver would help too.

I opened a bottle of beer up last night with the bottle opener and used the Philips screwdriver last weekend to assemble Ikea furniture at my brother's new apartment on my Free T4.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

I just learned to craft a hook from a can tab today. All I need is the wire cutter and the pliers to bend the ring over
Haven't tried it but people said it can be used for fishing in case of emergency, looks a bit flimsy so maybe it's ok if you just want to catch small fishes. In case I don't actually use it for fishing I will just use it to hook mosquito net lol. :D

Used the bottle opener on my Free T4 to open a couple beers at dinner last night.

When I first bought my Wave+, I thought the saw was kinda abundant as I'm not the type of person who would do some woodworking much. However,  today, I used it to saw off some stucked pieces of plastic in the storage room. Guess you may never know when you will need it.  :multi:

Very true. It took me 30 years to realize how handy a multi with a saw can be. Now I have several multis with saws!

A Crunch and a Dual Force to put the legs onto a second hand table to be used as a garden workbench.

The Crunch was much better for the job, gripping well both locked and unlocked. Shorter handles were a bonus too.

I used the philips screwdriver and the pliers portions of a Leatherman Rebar while repairing a household toilet.

I used the screwdriver on my new Mini Tool to start easing a screw out of one of my car tyres… then to shove it back in when it started hissing.

Used the Skeletool to open and repair an old laptop. The wi-fi card was'n working on it and had to replace it. I've tried reinstaling the drivers, a fresh windows installation and drivers and it wasn't working.  So I put another one in from my collection of broken laptops, it showed up in device manager but refused to work too. It just said failed to start and that was it. Different windows versions, different drivers, nothing worked. Plugged the old one back in and - Oh, a miracle - it started working  :o :rofl:
Used the occasion to clean the ventilator and radiator and to put a new thermal paste on the processor and video card. Skeletool was used for everything besides 3 tiny screws on the ventilator housing.

Great uses and photos! :tu: I have some minor regret about not opening a bottle of wine when I did the Juice challenge back in May.

Used my handy dandy, super duper LM Squirt S4 to cut off tags on my Leatherman Jumbo  Versipack, universal gun holster and 3 mag holder.
