The little pliers on my Swisschamp worked great for removing broken glass from a window frame

I've put swisschamp to work this morning helping me put up some trm.

His little pliers worked great to pull trim nails.



I used his saw to cut most of the trim.





Its working great for me so far.

Using the Swisschamp makes me want a swisstool



I wonder why the spirit doesn't.  :think:

Spirit and Swisstool have their differences, one of them being that the Swisstool is more in line with the classic implements of other Vic tools

If you have a Spirit you don't need a SwissTool unless you run into some super heavy duty things.

I love the Skeletool for its compact size and features. Go easy on those thin pliers but it makes a hellova screwdriver and the blade is pretty good too :tu:

Me too Steve.   :tu:

I haven't broken them yet but I do go easy on them.

I keep fat man in my bag with a mora heavy duty and a 2 cell light if I need larger tools.

I hope don't it's like 30 bellow zero outside. I really don't want to go out and fix water leaks or anything.

Love the wear on that Skelly Joel, ridden hard and put up wet.

Thanks man.

I used it a bunch at my old job as a hotel janitor/maintenance man.

It's got a alot of miles on it.

I like it's 154cm blade.  It sharpens up easy to a very sharp edge.

I got a alx instead of a TTi because I like leatherman's 154cm more than there S30v.  I know I'm odd.

I've been using the Swisschamp this morning to hang up some new doors.

Of course they didn't buy new door hardware so I got to reuse it's old hinges etc.

I swapped scales on the Swisschamp last night from black to ruby red.

It looks awesome with the combo edge redemption red skeletool I won from TxToolCrafters.

This should be my work edc for the rest of the month.



I'm unsure how the coating on the skeletool is going to hold up but there's only one way to find out.

I'm rethinking my thoughts on my edc from this morning.

The pliers on the Swisschamp are just a little smaller than the skeletool.

A mut may be a better match. 

I'm going to swap out the skeletool for a mut now. I'm at home on my lunch break.

I'll switch back to the skeletool if it ever warms up outside.

I always thought that would be a pretty handy little tool.  It's one of the reasons I really like that MUT.  Very clever....way to go Leatherman.

Hammer time. Closing up paint cans
A task my mut loves to do. I haven't used it for anything else yet so that's all the hammering he see's.



He's a big help during favorite part of my day.

The Swisschamp is now a permanent part of my winter edc.

He's going to be living in my coat until spring.

I had a Wenger si in my coat it's replacing.  I can do so much more with it.

I like that driver.
