I used a Midnite Minichamp to decommission 5 computers at work. They make it pretty easy these days, but the light, in particular, and the magnetized Phillips were a help.

Yesterday night I've used my Swisstool to cut this.

The regular home pliers couldn't do much with it, I'm impressed in how easily the ST went through it...

Thanks to our crappy worn out can opener, I had to use my Farmer to finish opening a can of beans up.

I just used the Rogueneer's scissors to do a bunch of goatee trimming.

Spending the weekend at Legoland Denmark in a rented cabin. The knife in the kitchen was so dull it wouldnt be able to cut jello, so the small Tinker had to pull more than its weight.

Used the small blade on the Fieldmaster to open an IKEA filling cabinet. Was going to attempt to assemble it with only the Sak, but whimped out and got the ratcheting screwdriver instead!

I used my farmers awl to modify my keychain, something so small, to make such a big diff! JR

Used my Spirit and Explorer to inspect and assemble some fiddly little bearing carriers:

Currently on vacation in far north Michigan, and am using: my heirloom Laguiole for cooking/eating, my Spartan for whittling/wine, and my Minichamp for everything else, including mainly seeing in the dark (I have the Midnite Minichamp and find its light more than adequate for my purposes). Highlight: using the Minichamp's Phillips screwdriver to tighten the tuning pegs on my Ukulele, as always

I'm up here with my wife's family and they all have one-handed openers clipped to their pockets (which I have the utmost respect for - I used to carry a Kershaw Leek that way), but guess who's got the right tool for the job ten times out of ten: the guy with the SAK, as always.

Used the can opener of my Black Alox Pioneer to open a can of cat food for my Calico this morning.

Cadet on duty this evening opening a bottle of Peroni

The waitress couldn't find the bottle opener in the restaurant

I love it when that happens

Serena · **Reply #1331 on:** July 27, 2014, 08:10:25 AM

Used the awl to make a hole in a frisbee to hang it at my fence…

PTRSAK · **Reply #1332 on:** July 27, 2014, 08:18:05 AM

I used my 91mm Solo (mod) to cut a bacon, egg and cheese croissant in half at the market.

DazMechanical · **Reply #1333 on:** July 27, 2014, 10:47:46 AM

Used my Swiss Tool X to assist installing some timber blinds in our dining room. The blade opened the packaging, I used the scissors for cutting out a mounting template and the Philips driver was used to wind in the screws.

Still have some patching up to do where I removed the old curtain hooks, that will have to wait till next weekend...

Wenger SI and some other pocket stuff today

Did you use them on anything?

Humppa · **Reply #1336 on:** July 27, 2014, 12:31:25 PM

Yes ... sorry I didn´t post that - strange day in every way

The screwdriver was fixating the hose on the pipe before and after I washing my car (VW - Polo).

The caplifter will come in handy this afternoon when meeting a good friend of mine

Just used the fish scaler to .... stir some medicine that has to be dissolved in water :ahh No teaspoons around, but who needs them

MadPlumbarian · **Reply #1338 on:** July 27, 2014, 09:32:10 PM

Had to use my Wenger scissors to trim and cut thread while I was working on my EDC bag today. The serrated scissors cut the thread so nice it makes it so much easier to thread the needle! JR

SAK Guy · **Reply #1339 on:** July 28, 2014, 02:50:47 AM

Just used my Farmer to trim a scrap 2X4 to brace up my Dad's recliner.

Measured, used the awl to mark the board and....

Monrogue · **Reply #1340 on:** July 28, 2014, 03:47:50 AM

I just used the nail file hook on my Rogueneer to well, file a couple nails

parkourdude · **Reply #1341 on:** July 28, 2014, 06:21:42 AM

I was packing a Wenger SI for the mail into a tube I made by rolling up a piece of cardboard. I made the tube, put some tape around it then shoved in some scrunched up receipts I had nearby to act as extra protection.

I put in one too many receipt and it got stuck. My finger didn't reach, the blade on my Farmer didn't grab but then I tried the saw. Guess what? It worked perfectly!

I'm finding unforeseen uses for my SAK and I think I'm reaching the point where I can't go anywhere without it...

I brought a couple of leftover brats for lunch today. We were out of buns, so I just put them on a plate and ate them with a fork. Used my SAK to cut them. I love living in a place where I can use my SAK in the work lunchroom like that without making anyone go wide-eyed.

For the curious, it was my Yeoman.

gene stoner · **Reply #1343 on:** July 28, 2014, 10:40:00 PM

Ten year old grandson was here for a couple of hours today and using his new spartan he made his first fire board for starting friction fires. When he comes back again we'll finish it and try our luck at testing it.

Used the chisel on my Swisschamp to clear dried paint out of the lip of a can to get the lid on. Gallon was shot, but the customer who brought it in wanted to use it anyway. The customer's always right....

That really sucks. I hate customers

To quote Randal, "This job would be perfect if it wasn't for the smurfing customers."

Found a new use for the hook today, pulling the seal on a 5gl bucket of deck stain. Punched a hole through it with the awl, worked the hook in, and pulled. Done!

Subterranean · **Reply #1347 on:** July 31, 2014, 03:36:50 PM

Tried to use the sharp part of the can opener on my Tinker to open some packages. Worked without a problem.

styx · **Reply #1348 on:** July 31, 2014, 04:53:45 PM

good ol' Farmer's awl makes a great scraper. although I'm still cussing the person that made the mess

Used my Rangers fine screwdriver to open (and close after placing 2 micro cells) the battery compartment of the toy-cashregister which my daughter got today at her 5th birthday.

This happened under the eyes of my 3 year old son.
He rushed immediately going to fetch his toy-victorinox (http://goo.gl/zmjW4Q) to help his dad.
