That looks great! Is it pretty durable or does it wear off quickly?
Cheers Mate

It is very durable. That has been on for quite a few months and has not chipped at all. I think the trick is to let it dry completely and then clean the excess off.

 :hatsoff: Day 2 - Found the AWL!


New front door was finally installed today.


Used the AWL to lift the edge of the Energy Star spec sheet sticker from the new door.


If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Day 2

Used the Spirit to install a surge protector over a wall socket.  Needed the small slot driver to remove the original screw and then the phillips to install the new recessed longer screw.

These big multitools certainly are useful at times.

DAY TWO

Used my SwissTool all damn day rebuilding the shaker head on my Mack spray truck. Used the phillips, scissors , knife and pliers. Used the hard wire cutters to cut electrical cable to splice the motor back to power.
Added a Craftsman 1/4 drive ratchet to the kit. It was found so free is awesome in my book,  :D :D

FOUL

 :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

This sheath is a PITA trying to reinsert the tool after use. The tool gets caught on the inner webbing separating the tool from the kit. May switch to standard sheath tomorrow.

Another great Challenge Day and it's exciting to see so many spectators taking part.  Good to see some trash talking between the teams too.  Just need all the players to get healthy.

I use an old SOG Powerloc sheath for mine.  I love having a small bit kit but it sticks out too far on my belt.  For this challenge, I've been using my GAK sheath (green with the Velcro catch).  I hardly have noticed it there.

Great uses and just love that pic,Douglas!


Nothing heavy duty, just using the plain blade to liberate some teabags from their plastic bag for some tea before heading out.

Day 3: Pellet duty.  After using the Spyderco serrated blades, I want to really put the Swisstool rescue blade to work.  It does not disappoint!
