DAY 6
Early shift today and stuck behind a desk doing case papers and witness statements  :crash:

The OHT offered moral support with a coffee  :tu:
They don't like it up 'em!

Why does Leatherman not advertise this?  I don't need a fancy set of pliers, but a fancy set of pliers that makes coffee?  I'm in.  :rofl:

Day 6 of 30

Got out the small ruler/file today :D Not much you can measure with at that size :dunno: The file is there and I guess better than nothing but it is almost nothing :facepalm: :D I guess you can also use it as a flat driver :shrug: Probably better st that than the other functions :whistle: :D

A little surprised the chisel grounded serrated portion didn't get destroyed by the pull thru, they tend to be thinner and more delicate than usual PE.
 :hatsoff: :D
I only sharpened the straight edge portion of the blade on the carbide pull through sharpener.  I have a pocket size sharpening rod that comes to a point, so it is good for honing serrations, and will use that... as soon as I can find it. :facepalm:

Day 6



It almost made its mark on my palm today. I was trying to use it as needle nose pliers and had to grip it near the end of the handles. The tip slipped off of the item I was trying to grip and the handles snapped shut. The locking tab pinched me. Fortunately for me, my skin on my palm slipped out before the handles fully closed.

I agree with Cody that the pliers are very robust for a MT. But those handles don't work for me at all  :bnghd:

That ruler will be quite helpful in judging if a piece of lumber is 3/4" thick or 1-1/2" thick  :tu:

By the way, don't know if you are aware of this, but the NXT comes in BO:



I think we both know what has to happen now  :pok:

Yeah, but with that ruler there will never be any hesistation on deciding if that piece of lumber is a 1"×4" or a 2"x4". Why take a chance on making that mistake? The ruler can make that determination for you   :D

By the way, if you are lucky no one will question why you pulled out the ruler while sitting in your truck  :whistle:

I'm really liking the hook blade mod. Just need to sharpen it some.

Now I need to buy something in plastic clamshell packaging just to see how the hook works opening it!

Nevermind.

Day 6; opened up a Camillus timber scribe. Always wanted one of these; but am surprised at how small it is. I always assumed since they were made for serious use,  these were quite large knives.

Day 6
The Minimaster helped open a box with a couple Classics that will become part of gift boxes to my niece and nephew who are starting college later this month.

It also helped cut some cord for a carry loop on a water bottle.

Now that's a nice idea! I wish I'd had a SAK in college.

Maybe also get them Deluxe Tinkers for any dorm room or apartment repairs?

Or that hammerhead monster that Echotech has?   :D

That kinda reminds me of the LM Free P4.  It too has a 1.2 inch file which I have no idea what to do with it. :dunno:

I think one of the reasons why I like the small blade on SAK so much is because it's perfect for clam shell opening.  It would be interesting to see how the hook works on that. :popcorn:

Those Classics would be perfect for college students. :tu:   I still remembered having my SAK with me when I went to college, and no one ever seems to question whether it is 'allowed' on campus.  But we sure do live in a very different time now.

My inspiration for the plastic clam shell opening use is the Cut-and-picker blade on my Mini Champ. It works really well at that.

A SAK surely would come in handy, and with all the online ordering kids do nowadays, some kind of unboxing blade would really come in handy.

You mean the orange peeler?  I constantly have the fear that I might ruin the pivot or bend the tool if I force it with a heavy duty clam shell, but it sounds like it is worth a try.  I may do that in some future challenge if the opportunity arises. :cheers:

I have to go out today & overnight to a place I can't carry  ::)

I'm afraid it's just a quick glamour (?) shot of the OHT before heading off into the rain  :td:

I'll catch up with all your uses and comments tomorrow. Peace. Out  :salute:
