Could not resist getting the MXBS versions of the SwissTool and SwissTool Spirit! Just placed an order... :ahhh
The MXBS Spirit is my favorite.  No saw, but I like the serrated blade.

Day 5/31

G'Day,

Today was an easy day for the Spirit. It started with a decent 3 shots of espresso and then off to the motorcycle lady to collect a jacket that needed some mending. I used the large screwdriver to lift a can pull-tab to spare the nails.

That is it, possibly dinner duties later, but not sure about that yet. I'm back at work tomorrow, lunch duties and possibly a posing pic on the trains.

Cheers, Pete
Every good day starts with espresso shots!  :ahhh

That serrated blade is a serious slicer.

I thought I was the only one.  I frequently use MT/SAK screwdrivers or bottle openers as can tab lifters.

I’m not a fan red, but I do find the red stripe so nice for contrast labeling on the SwissTool.

Excited. I am planning the SwissTool opening the package when it arrives. Has to ship across the country so likely not until next week sometime, but something to look forward to receiving. Looking forward to the serrated blade and more useful in day to day than a saw (although I do like and use my saw). I really like how cool the BS versions look....

Received a canvas print today we ordered last week. Scraper tool opened the box. Then I used the awl and the screwdriver to install a wire hanger.

DAY 5

Swisstool helped with the repair of the bathroom faucet. I just H8 this thing but is't pretty new and it was expensive so I'll deal with it until it's no longer repairable. Trouble was it kept running part of the water through the lower part after you switch it to the shower head. So I took it apart and figured the problem should be those springs since the seals are in great shape and there was nothing stuck in it. Went out and found similar springs. Now it's not great because the springs weren't the exact same size but it's much better than it was yesterday  :multi:

Day 5
The Spirit helped cut some velcro backing for a patch that I thought would look good on my new backpack.

It also helped cut up some dog treats.
