Scenario: you are changing out a light switch for a larger box, say a single to a double. The straight driver removes the plate, the Phillips is used to remove the box, the saw gets used to open the hole. Cap lifter gets used to open a beer after a job well done. Viola! Fieldmaster to the rescue!
What I learned (think I explained this some where’s else) is: small blade cuts into cork, push the can opener into the cut, twist the cork loose to break the bond. Once the cork is 1/4 way out it wants to split. Rotate Fieldmaster perpendicular with bottle and pinch the cork between thumb and pointer and start to rotate cork out! Cutting a stick is much easier......Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's the beauty of a SAK, they give us the tools, the rest is imagination
But your method, requires nothing more than a Recruit That's the beauty of a SAK, they give us the tools, the rest is imagination
I like the way you think, Nix
Use the saw to cut an appropriate size stick, then use said stick to push the cork into the bottle, yes you can, yes I have, I'll have to demonstrate it during the challenge, I'll admit it does take some force, especially if the bottle is hydro locked with too much wine
Sounds like you need to join the February challenge!
SimonTrust me, when the situation calls for shoving the Cork into the bottle, forget ice cubes or glasses, you're drinking it right out of the bottle, adds a whole new level of romance passing the bottle
That indeed is the Spirit! It is far to easy to stay within our comfort zone, true knights always rise up to challenge.
I don't own a Field Master either, but not for any particular reason. However, I think Simon's original blaspheme misses the point. I can easily picture a scenario on a camping trip where a Phillips head screwdriver could come in handy (fixing/disassembling my Coleman propane stove, for example), BUT, my thing is I hate hate hate the backside Phillips. I guess if you really need one and it's all you've got you'd be glad you had it. But otherwise, give me a Yeoman with inline Phillips and corkscrew every time. I'll bring a Farmer or a modern 111 mm Soldier for my sawing needs along as well.
Whatever floats your boat, Myron. The fact remains: the Fieldmaster is pointless
