Day 01-

Tightening screws, opening mail, hanging curtains, and moving furniture; the Surge does it all!
Ok, maybe not so much the last one.

I'm sure if you threw a surge hard enough it would move furniture......

If you count hitting the lamp and moving it to the floor lol

First time I've used this style of LM opener on a can;

It worked well. Felt kind of weird using such a heavy tool for the job though.

I get this feeling all the time.

Day 03-

The Surge's scissors make short work of just about anything, including padded envelopes;

As for what's in the envelope... That's a secret

Day 04-

It's been a long week, and I still have to work the weekend. Oh well, gotta get paid somehow.

Couldn't remember if I ever posted pics of my Vic Ranger after putting the stayglow scales on it, so...

Work, work, and more work (again.)

Took a shot of the Surge hanging out with my aging Logitech gamepad;

Day 06-

I've been in a lot of "knife free zones" lately, which doesn't make for a lot of good photo ops

But I did put together something for you guys;

Them cord wraps looking good! Do you remember what size cord you used? It looks a little thicker?

The listing said micro, but I'm not sure if everyone uses the same nomenclature. And the color is supposed to be "gun metal."

Day 07-

The bulk of my Christmas purchases for family are coming in this week, so starting today the Surge is seeing a lot of slicing and snipping action on all sorts of packaging.
Worked up a bit of a thirst

Day 08-
Decided to tape down the cord to this laser Christmas light projector thing;

Had to run it from inside the house because the exterior plug-ins are out of order for some reason. I'm not too keen on fixing it in the cold, even if I had the time (which I don't right now.)

Day 09-

Used the Surge as my only tool for packing some things to be mailed, and wrapping gifts. Well, unless you count a pen and tape

Regardless, the dog was not impressed.

Day 10-

Took a trip to the cemetery to remove outdated decorations from some graves. Another trip will have to be scheduled to put up some winter stuff, weather permitting.

And the parade of mail never ends!

Day 11-

Way late posting this because I waited too long yesterday and there ended up being an internet outage

The Surge helped me prune the old dogwoods out back, then posed for a photo with this rather aged farming implement;

The Surge saw a lot of action today at work, cutting open various donated gift sets of personal care items and the like for Christmas. Photos weren't really feasible there, so I shot this picture moments before the Pizza King was assassinated and stuffed in a garbage can

gregpost · **Reply #16 on:** December 13, 2015, 07:30:02 AM

Pizza and multitools, these are a few of my favorite things.

Didn't do much of anything today. Didn't even go in to work, but I managed to get one shiny Surge pic;

Sorry, but is it correct that you are using a turtle as a stand for the scythe?

Well, today my plans were preempted by a fairly lengthy visit to the hospital. Didn't get much chance to use the Surge, until I got home (at 2am) and removed this annoying wrist band;

So far I haven't really challenged the Surge. It's just been a light duty month by sheer chance. By this time in November, I think I had almost broken the Juice twice

Circumstances permitting, I hope to give it the heavy duty workout it deserves in the coming days

ducttapetech · **Reply #21 on:** December 15, 2015, 04:14:45 PM

I hope the visit at the hospital was not to serious.

The well wishes are much appreciated, guys

It's been thoroughly unpleasant, but doesn't look like I'll be kicking the bucket any time soon

ducttapetech · **Reply #24 on:** December 15, 2015, 05:27:43 PM

Good to hear.

Very late posting this one, but I haven't been doing much this week anyway. So I figured I'd throw up a couple shots of the Surge with big blades.

Unfortunately this one with the Case Bowie didn't turn out as well as I expected;

Another day of nothing, another pic of a big blade.

This time a better pic with my old Cold Steel Heavy Machete;

Looks like this King like his Pizza in squares.

Yep, the pizza there is all square cut, and kind of thin crust. They're pretty generous with the toppings too.

That is a nice looking blade.
