Sounds like my work :whistle:
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

The Compact's combo opener tool came in handy a couple times today while working at our house.  It scraped some stickers off a few new windows after installation and it was used to pry a small curtain rod bracket thing from a piece of the trim around said window.  I started the pry job with the end of it, then used it in the same manner as a cap lifter to "pop" the bracket off the rest of the way.  It actually worked rather well.  This is something for which I would have normally resorted to my MT flathead/pliers, so it's cool to find creative ways around that :tu:

Day thirteen, my three year old managed to break the front panel completely off of a drawer in the kitchen. Unscrewed a few Phillips screws in order to remove a board that is stapled into the drawer itself that keeps the panel on the front.  The panel is ok, and can be reused. The secondary board is shot. Off to Home Depot tomorrow!

Removed a tag from a blanket, for my son, with the scissors,  and opened a few packages today with the blade.

Really glad I bailed out of this. Had more reinfocement today that having a wide range of tools is a very wise move. Today's fiasco was that the car wouldn't start! I knew I'd got an issue with the distributor from a similar occurence at the weekend. Ended up borrowing a mates car to go and get a new dizzie cap, but couldn't get a rotor arm from stock anywhere so I decided to just try replacing the cap and see if that worked

However, the three screws holding the cap on proved to be a problem. My sockets are imperial, and the car is Japanese ... my screwdrivers were either too long or too bulky for the job. To make the whole experience more entertaining, it was pissing down too. The only way I could drive the screws with my dedicated tools was by setting the socket set up to drive 1/4" and using a Phillips bit. Of course, not being magnetic, the bit kept dropping out and disappearing into the ever growing puddles of rain under the car, but no other dedicated tools in my toolset were suitable alternatives ....

The knifeless MP400 in my pocket was just a little too clumsy for this particular role, and I didn't have a SAK in my pocket today. There was only one other tool in the car which was capable of getting in to where it needed - the Core that lives in the glove compartment. Pop out one of the arms at 90 degrees, and Robert's your aunties live in lover! Still an awkward job, but now least the car is back running again thanks to a pliers based multitool.

A minimalist SAK wouldn't have been able to help with that job, except possibly a Scientist, which might have been slim enough to get in the required spaces. I think I might switch the Wenger Toolchest that resides with the Core for a Cybertool as that might possibly have been slightly easier to use with the driver arm out at 90 degrees.

Just charging the phone now, and then I'll take it for a run just to be sure I've cured it

Sak's  rule !

No, I have a humble tool kit of "proper" tools in the boot (trunk), but they just weren't able to solve it without the dashboard multitool ensemble coming to the rescue. I don't rely completely on multitools, and the tools in the boot have come to the rescue a few times, but this time they just weren't the right tools for the job and the multi's saved the day  :)

Day XIII and XIV

While yesterday there was no challenge, today SHTF. One of our servers broke down, so I wanted to exchange the power supply. Some of the screws have a slightly different drive (less deep) and the Midnight Manager did not grip well. I ended up destroying the drive. As a result I had to remove the drive-bay. So the MM went into the drawer, out came the Spirit.
As a result I'm now double-out and I won't continue. The combo tool on the MM, while a good backup is not good enough to be my prime Phillips.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Starting to enjoy my little waiter and look forward to grabbing it in the mornings.
The tool density and selection for my lifestyle is superb for one layer.  I will carry this quite a bit going forward.

Will be getting a Compact next weekend (the next 6 days are in Mozambique and camping with the little waiter) ; with the extra scissor layer it could be my ideal urban EDC.
Going to be a bitch not to carry that for the last week of October ;)

Worried about flying with the waiter, I hope I can check in luggage at every hop, there is a chopper bit and a small 4 seater plane in the mix. Oh well , its cheap, like $15 to replace.

Been rather busy and made tons of trips back and forth to shop at work and at the farm. One job, I was NOT going back again. All I had was my Compact to cut some solid copper wire.
And I got a couple of pics. Not for the weak hearted. Luckly is was not the big stuff but still.
And yes, that is my boot stomping on the blade.
I also suggest not to do that to many times.

Sak's  rule !
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!         LOL!
Good go man. I gotta tell you, I am about to cave in. The Compact is a great SAK for light duty days. Also great for just running into town or parties and does pretty good when paired with a Mora and a Hawk when camping.
Just kinda rough for heavy duty days. Still I like the Compact. Been a good SAK.

Been rather busy and made tons of trips back and forth to shop at work and at the farm. One job, I was NOT going back again. All I had was my Compact to cut some solid copper wire.
And I got a couple of pics. Not for the weak hearted. Luckly is was not the big stuff but still.
And yes, that is my boot stomping on the blade.
I also suggest not to do that to many times.

I can't watch ....  :)

I just went ahead and swapped the sleek black scales from the Compact with the ruby ones on my Rogueneer....that may have been a mistake because now I want to carry my "new" black Rogueneer :facepalm:

Pretty much the same again today for my Pioneer - cutting fruit, opening packets, snipping zip ties. Could have done with pliers and a metal file again - looking forward to getting my Spirit or Rebar back in my pocket when I'm in the shed and at work.

I just used the nail file on my now ruby scaled Compact to file down my freshly clipped fingernails.  Yes, exciting stuff, I know ::)
