Day 7: I’m slowly catching up here. This afternoon allowed me to tighten a couple of doorknobs, but that was about it.

Good use of the hook! Celery is most definitely not my thing, though.

Another great day, y'awl!

Received a package of air fryer parchment paper sheets.  It was stapled shut.  Explorers large blade straightened and removed the staples neatly and cleanly.

Obviously the large blade got the job done, but I find the can opener to be an outstanding tool for removing staples.

Excellent comment.  I had not thought about that tool for staples.  Now I know.
Thanks

Day 8:

I went retro today, with an older style model Explorer, with the classic red handle scales. Unfortunately, I didn’t have occasion to use it.
