Great to see everyone putting the Tough Tool to work so far The Taylor Sheath looks and sounds like a winner, I like the clip in particular
Day16No I did not pose the tool like this. With just light use the pliers/handle screws have already loosened up to the point that the one handle flops that far open before there is any tension.

Thanks Speedy.I wonder, does anyone else consider WORK and four letter smurf word?
Day 17The Tough Tool got to do a little handy work, I've had an interior door that's been hanging up, so with the TT on my hip it was a a good time to take care of it First the Phillips driver removed the striker plate, then some tweaking with the pliers and a bit of file action, and the door is working smoothly
Excellent challenge good use of the TT everyone
Glad you're sticking with us Ws
Wouldn’t want to miss the challenge especially with the TT
Hard to find anything better than SC Johnson Past Wax. That Remington has an interesting blade shape.
NOA even my USA TT with the riveted handle does that on one side just not quite as much. I can only imagine how frustrating that would become ove time.
While I normally don't like larger folders (the exception being Folding Hunters); I've always had a thing for big folding rescue knives. I mostly use this German-made Skedco Warfighter Extreme Medicine (Eickhorn PRT-IV); which opens really quick and a joy to use with gloves on. I just wish the regular PRTs were cheaper--these for a long time were $30 through many people dealing in military surplus (they were issued to combat medics in a rigging kit for MEDEVAC helicopters); while the standard PRT is $120. It also has a seatbelt cutter (cutting twine and opening clam pack, I've just about wore out the section of snap-off blade that forms the tool; and I don't know what type Eickhorn used; guessing OLFA) and a carbide glass breaker.Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the spectrum of folder size, I chose the rare (as a USA model) USA Old Timer 106OT "Granddad's Old Timer" to supplement the TT; since the USA model never had scissors. Due to its rarity, I've used it as a shelf queen, not ever carried or used it. That had to change. So I cleaned it, sharpened it, and lubed it and started carrying it tonight. Today's only use didn't come until just now, after taking today's photo. I used the scribe to peel an orange--it worked great! (Image removed from quote.)
