Nice D_T! :like:

It is good to know removing the can/bottle opener doesn't impede the ability to open bottles. Another reason the Rebar is perfect for modding !

+1 on what Douglas said, Matt!

Hope you feel better in the morning! :salute:

Rebar got involved in a fantastic mess trying to swap out pressure cylinder door mechanisms. Got it changed out, but the original has been there 50 years before I got to it. :facepalm:

Not pictured is the removal process. But, that required bigger tools and two hands. :ahhh

GLBM, yup, whether by accident or design the handles work well as cap lifters :tu:.
I've never been able to use the can opener as cap lifter, the design is just wrong for that as the curly bit doesn't manage to hook under the cap. Nice use above too!

Get better soon Matt :cheers:

Meanwhile we are having a wet Day 22 down here, like yesterday. Water was welcome after an unusually dry summer so far.

I hereby solemnly withdraw this statement. The last brew I opened was in fact a successful deployment of the can opener as a bottle opener. Alas, documentary evidence in pictorial format does not exist, as I was too surprised it worked. The curly bit of the can opener can (pun intended) be inserted under a protruding portion of a cap edge, although this has to be done with some care as one needs to hit the exact spot; but then things go smoothly :cheers:

DAY 13
Did a little wood work with the Rebar and a couple of old Hand me Down reliables, then gave the Rebar file a work out on the ax head.  The crosscut side of the file is very agressive and works realy well, while the single cut side...Well it's just not cut for that.  The wood saw on the other had is a real "cut above" all but Vic wood saws and I would say the are both true "Cut Ups" that just can't be beat.  The saw, file and knife blades do suffer in my opinion from the blade facing the center of the tool when properly closed, this tendes to shorten the effetive work area of the chosen tool.  Outside opening is a real plus for these tools in particular on the Wave, Surge, Swisstool etc...

Awl true, Douglas. But the handles can be opened to allow better access and simulate outside opening tools.

Okay Guys I did recognise the tools can be used in that fassion, :whistle:  but one would have better and safer control over the open blade with the butterfly handles closed as they are intended. :rant:
Not to say that I have never used the screwdrivers that way because I have,  :twak: heck I've even been cought using the1/2 open position like a "T" handle for a little extra torque. I didn't think that out loud, did I? :facepalm:

Nice D_T and Douglas!

Hehe. Properly closed. :D
I don't think I've used an inboard tool like that since I first started using butterfly tools. I had been using my pinchy so long, that I was amazed by NOT having to close the handles on inboard-tool MTs.
Shoot. I even use the SwissTools with one handle opened back. I like having the handle of the tool I am using not being twice as thick as it needs to be. :)
In fact, trying to fiddle with using the blades with a handle end in the way would seem a bit more dangerous. It really isn't an issue with the LMs for me. Gerber and SOG would seem more dangerous with not putting the handles back into starting position. :)

And when the handle is folded back on the Rebar, the light weight makes it a pleasure to use that way. It isn't so fun on the supertool 300. :ahhh

Day 11:
I sprung the clip on my precious Stanley Chrome 12' measuring tape. Used driver to remove it and used the pliers to squeeze the clip back into shape. Good as new. :)

Also, thank you for taking a day count, Douglas! :salute:

Careful, Douglas and Nix. The Rebar blade will leave more than a paper cut. :ahhh

I could open the cut and see through the cortical bone layer, of the right-index proximal phalange, where the edge cut into it(not too bad though). :ahhh
Don't even ask. It is too embarrassing. :facepalm:

The BO blade does look cool where I wiped it off. :rofl:
