On the early morning putler attacked my homeland I used a large screwdriver on my Work Champ to remove staples from a cardboard that was repurposed as an improvised bed in the basement of our house. No pictures were taken, but it’ll stay in my memory forever.
Wishing you well, alexanderre.

Also, a shout-out to Victor (viktryls on eBay). I've bought a lot of scales and parts from him. Stay safe.

My use today was a lot more basic - inline Phillips and the can opener's small slotted tip to tighten door knobs, strike plates, and hinges.

I’m safe and sound at the moment, but not many can say the same around Ukraine. Our army takes invading smurfs down - they have 10 times more casualties than us, but it’s war anyway. This success won’t be possible without huge amount of support from your countries, so on behalf of Ukraine I want to thank you all for it

Using my Explorer to fit a new stereo in the wife's car:

 - Unscrew the fascia and pry it away from the housing
 - Unbolt the old stereo
 - Transfer the propriertary mounting brackets to the new stereo
 - Repin the Honda-ISO wiring harness
 - Clip and strip the wires off the back end of the ISO harness
 - Strip the wires at the front end of the Made In China harness (because they don't use ISO, apparently)
 - Solder the ISO to the MIC harness, although the Explorer was only used to hold some wires out the way at this point
 - Refit and rebolt everything back into place
 - Remove everything to then add in more soldering for additional functions I hadn't realised could be made to work
 - Re-refit and re-rebolt everything back in place

First time fitting a new stereo into a car, too, but it all worked out in the end. My mechanic was more than a little exasperated, and took the smurf a lot 'cause he knows what I'm like with my SAKs, but to be honest I actually got most jobs done in less time than it would have taken him to go get the right size of screwdriver, so I'm quite proud of the fact that it was (fundamentally) all done with just a SAK and a soldering iron!! :D

Alas, no photos, because as usual I'm too busy just getting the job done.

New pants had a loose thread...right inside the zipper.  :rant: Kinda interfered with what I consider an extremely important aspect of pants as an article of outerwear. The scissors took care of it, and now everything zips up like it should 😎👉👉

Used a can opener / flathead screwdriver on a Work Champ to replace lightbulbs in a really old chandelier at a place we have to rent at the moment to stay away from russian bombs and rockets
