Broke down about a dozen cardboard boxes, taking them to the dump soon. Vic Deluxe Tinker has a mean edge to it.
Also sat with it a while and played with it like a large worry bead. Something very soothing to turning it over and over. Can't get the same feeling from a Leatherman or other multi, no matter how much I appreciate them in other ways.

I just used the bottle opener on my Mechaneer to crack the shells of some hard boiled eggs

I used the chisel on my Yeochamp to scrape off some excess plastic material from my new cell phone cover that was causing it not to fit properly. Then I used the straight pin to clear out a couple holes also containing that excess material. Both worked like a charm, and I really like that little chisel. It's pretty sharp

I also find the pin extremely useful, especially when replacing watch batteries. The little clasps which secure the battery on Timex & Casio almost always require a pin to loosen and resecure the battery.

Used the scissors on my old faithful Manager on my car keys to harvest a couple of strawberries and the tweezers to help thread the lanyard on a Freeplay Companion radio/torch

Opened a few cans and cut a few zip ties with the Explorer.

Used the Phillips on my swisschamp to change the batteries in a thermostat at work. Who in the world would use one that isn't hard wired?

Used my SwissTool Spirit to disassemble and then cut out a DVD from my deceased DVD player.

small blade of spartan to open many packages on an expection, i like the small blade, so useful in public, small and discreet

I used the hook on my Swisschamp to put my bike chain back on. Great for not getting oil all over my hands.

Used the flat head to unscrew a zippo lighter to pop some new cotton wool in it.

A little earlier I used the tip of the metal file on my Yeochamp to clean my nails. It actually worked very well

Monrogue · **Reply #282 on:** July 11, 2013, 05:49:13 AM

Just used the Philips driver on my Yeochamp to tighten the fridge door handle.

Had to resort to the awl on by Black Farmer to open a recalcegent sandwich package

Trimmed a broken nail with the scissors on my MiniChamp

small knife and can opener of my swisschamp for peeling off a lime.

derekmac · **Reply #286 on:** July 13, 2013, 01:46:12 AM

I used my my Climber to open a couple of bottles of Bud Light Lime tonight, and earlier I used it to help me install my led under cabinet lighting.

Just used the knife on my Yeochamp to cut open the plastic shell surrounding a box containing my wife's new perfume.

Used my Vic Ranger to cut the adamantium-like plastic off of a new Maglite pro.

Used my Swisschamp to peel an apple during a bike ride with my oldest son

Used the awl on my Black Farmer to skewer my lunch at the track today...fun eating olives and sausages with a SAK instead of a tooth pick

Jailbird · **Reply #291 on:** July 14, 2013, 01:01:19 AM

Used the tweezers on my recruit to pull out a sliver.

used my 11 soldier in the garden today - the saw was very useful for getting rid of some unwanted branches on my trees - the things a workhorse!

also used the reamer to ouch through a coconut to get at the milk!

great knife!

Indeed! Opening a coconut with a Swiss Army Knife is one of life's great joys. Or at least it should be.

Today my s18s saw ripped a 2' piece of 3/4" plywood in half when the skill saw gave up on life. Good thing that was the only cut I had left, because it was sloooooow going.

I cut the toco bell bag open when we got home from shopping. Yes a simple plastic bag, I was lazy

Hey, any excuse to use it right

I used my Yeochamp this weekend to open a bag of breaded mushrooms to cook in our Frydaddy. Getting that thing was a big mistake as I love fried food, and that ain't good

Well it was a gift actually, so that person should get a swift kick in the pants.

Monrogue · **Reply #296 on:** July 16, 2013, 05:56:03 PM

Here's a good example of a use: I used the pen on my Yeochamp to write a quick note on a piece of toilet paper to remind me to do something once I got back to my desk. Really didn't want to forget, and sorry, no pics for this one

Thank goodness, we dodged the bullet here ...

Anyway, I think this is a sign, maybe you should add a bit of paper to your EDC schedule

Yup, perhaps I should

It was just one of those moments where the thought popped into my head, and it was something I had already forgotten to do a couple times this morning as I get easily sidetracked here. Since I was afraid I would forget again, I made sure I wouldn't
