Changed tires for my car yesterday. I had a 2 ton jack to lift the car. There is a small knob that you are supposed to twist with the end of the lever arm to descent the car. With the lever arm it's at least challenging to control the descent and I've had previosly one close call with the car dropping too fast. As I remembered the incident I also remembered the pliers on my Curl on my belt and used them instead. I got great and slow control this way and changed the tires safely!

Quick update on my ARC - I tried it out on a strand of coated chain link fencing wire this morning, as I do with all my new tools.

It cut it easily enough, but didn’t seem to enjoy the experience…

Disappointing, at least you can fit some decent cutters to it. A chap on reddit hardness tested these cutters at mid fifties rc iirc. The previous cpm ones were low 60s.

Myself and mini-me undertook a build your own robot toy affair that required judicious use of both a pst and sideclip (which he prefers) . The finished bot looks and walks like the robots from Silent Running if your old enough to remember that flick.

Used my Juice XE6 saw to cut a stick to hold the sheep feed box lid up.

Window broken by falling branch during yesterday’s wind. Well replace the window once it’s warmer outside. For now it’s board up with some insulation.

Used modded Wave to cut the board and hold nails.

Today i used Rebar for fixing my car (again) noticed also that Wingman flathead can be used on sockets,  offcourse i dont recommend using it for too tight screws.

I have been using my Rebar at work constantly lately.  Demoing a construction site I used the Rebar to cut wire, remove wall plates, cut ceiling ties.  I have been really impressed with how tough the Rebar is.   :multi:

January has been all about unpacking and installing shiny new screens, projectors and such. It's not exactly what they pay me for but I don't mind! Skeletool, bitkit and headlamp see a lot of use.
Spydies and Vics and Leathermans, Oh My!

Until there’s a replacement for the Hybrid, the Raptor is my favourite gardening Leatherman.

Hacking at some ivy while the sun was shining today.
