I tried to make a fire with the mag but no success- not even a black spot on the paper.

Nice try and pic, z1913! :like: :2tu:

Used my modded SAK to open this used, but new-to-me, XAVT.  I forgot they have two magnifying glasses!  :tu:

I did it once, in the Summer, with the newer Swisschamp lense.  I tried everything and finally got it to work with clothes dryer lint.  I'd hate to have to do it in less than optimal conditions!  The Leatherman Signal's fire striker may not be perfect, but it definitely works better!

Day 2:
We went out for lunch with the kids and had to use the Explorer scissors to cut their straws shorter. Also used it to open a new bag of food for our chicks this evening

Cool, what kind of chicks?

You should post pics of them in the pets thread.

No, I wish I did.  I bought it from a gal on eBay.  She said it was a gift when she went to visit relatives in China.

That’s too bad. It looks quite well done and I would be seriously tempted to commission one.

Day 3

Used the flat driver to remove some rubber grommets on a dog kennel my puppy destroyed that is now destined for the landfill. 3 kennels in the last 4 months... he is an escape artist.

Yes, early XAVT had the two different ones.  Later, they changed out the older Mag for a wrench tool.  I found this info here:

Day 3

We saw a chipmunk crawl up under our siding and found a hole. Sorry bud you’re sleeping outside and not in our walls.  Used the Outdoorsman to cut a small filler piece and screws to secure some wire mesh.

Then went out to check our recently planted apple tree.  Some buds are sprouting.  I didn’t really need the msg lens here but my kids asked to see them up close, so I’ll count it!
