Title: What did you use your Leatherman for today?
Post by: trouthunter on May 13, 2012, 02:09:27 AM
So with so many Leathermans out there, there has to be some pretty exciting stories to go with them.   This thread is an attempt to document them.

So what did you use your Leatherman for today?  Did your fix the sink or save the world?

Amici,
Well so far today, I used my Squirt S4 to remove the plastic wrap from the top of a bottle of green Tea. Not exactly MacGuyver stuff huh?

Cheers,
Serge

I should win something for this.......I actually used my Blast to replace a toilet seat in an upstairs bathroom today :)  Well, you asked what I did with my Leatherman today, right? That's what I did. :)

I used my PS4 knife blade to cut my finger open while attempting to get into a clam shell package... Then I used the scissors to open a new package of bandaids my wife and I just happened to buy at Target today... What a day.

The circle of life.....



I used my charge TTi to disassemble my dishwasher so I could find out I have to spend more money to fix it.

Yesterday I got a nasty splinter of wood that broke off underneath the skin so I made a wider opening in enabling me to squeeze out the splinter. This is why I like the acute tips of LM knife blades as opposed to the more blunt Vic variety.

Today I again used the knife blade to harvesthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nettle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nettle) for a delicious (and extremely nourishing) nettle soup we had for dinner.

I also use the pliers to operate the burning hot hatch of our http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonry_heater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonry_heater).

Which model? My, by far, most carried EDC for almost three years: The Skeletool CX.

Opened up an eBay package of a new MAC Tools brake spring tool.  With MAC Tools and Leatherman, you have an unbeatable combination.  Have thousands invested in both.

I used the scissors on my Surge to open 3 different clam packs that contained accessories for my camera.  These were not whimpy clam packs, either.  They were the ones that were intended to keep you out of, but the bad ass scissors on the Surge cut through them like a hot knife through butter.

My old Philips depilator broke today- a tiny piece of longish metal came out of it from a hole that had never existed before...  :think: ... I thought: oh, well, it's 7 years old, who cares, I'll go buy new one. Then I recalled... wait, I have my PS4 in my pocket, let's check what it can do! And guess what, it did a lot! My depilator's like brand new, apart from the freakin hole I'll think what to repair with, and the PS4 has just saved me about $30 for a new Philips! :D

Earlier this morning, I used my ST 300 to prune some branches from an apple tree that was starting to get a tad to hairy for me once the wind kicked up since it would brush against the window some nights.

Just got back from a camping trip with my Charge TTI, over the last 2 days it was used for:

-Gut hook - for gutting a fish
-Pliers - moving pots on an open fire
-Scissors - cutting 550 cord
-Knife blade - Whittling

I can see why Les Stroud (survivorman) would say that the Wave/Charge his favourite multi-tool.

Of course the two old timers had the OG ST's Both in great condition and the 25 year warranty put to use on both of them. I'll re neg my comment about the noodnicks at work for the two guys.

Well, not today, but Saturday...  The Wave helped me with all the flower thingies at the cemetery for Memorial Day.  Opening boxes, cutting ties, and bending those wires used to hold the arrangements on the tombstones.

Was thinking how much Dad would've LOVED one of these...  :multi:

And I forgot, last week the Wave did duty above and beyond, helping to install the new AC unit...   :tu:

Reinstalled the crappy shower head in the rental and packed away our awesome one.

It's was an imperial fitting on an ikea fitting so there was a brass collet that needed undoing and thanks to the new Rebar plier head on my Black Tide, it wrenched it off no sweat.

Reinstalling it on the shower head was no problem too.

It seems like every time I come in contact with a product packaged in clampack, the clampack is taken to the next level.  It use to be that you could take your average pocket knife and slice right through the clampack of yesteryear.  I promise you that if you tried to use your average pocket knife on the nuclear clampacks that my Charge Al and Charge Alx were in when they came in the mail to me today, you would have suffered some sort of mishap, whether it be to your person or your knife.
This was clearly a job for the Surge.  Now there are more than one Leatherman multitool out there that could do the job, but I chose the Surge, which made a quick meal of the two nuclear clampacks, releasing the prizes inside.

Used the skeletool to replace the air cleaner on the old yard master mower. The kick was used at work to replace a heating return grate and open several boxes of fasteners for the depleated fastener index. The can opener was used for the tape on the boxes to save the blade.

I used my Micra to snip open a butcher's packing paper of cod fillets. Those fillets are marinating now for the last 4 minutes (of 30) in lemon juice & salt, then, I'll coat them with olive oil and season with cayenne pepper and cumin.

I also tried (partially successful) to pick something from between my teeth with the hook tip on the nail file.

Damn, I wish Leatherman would figure out how to get toothpicks in their tools. Until that day, I can never really go without a SAK.

I changed a couple of old light switches in my mom's house yesterday. This first one was really old; had no snap action to it at all. Bakelite enclosure and actuator. Forgive the poor lighting: the power was off for this job, so the lighting was from a small LED task light, hanging from a peg nearby.

With the cover plate taken off, here's the guts. Note the fabric/rubber insulation, and the fact that Mom painted over the screws to make sure I lack no challenge. I used the medium flat screwdriver to chisel the paint out of the groove to remove it
(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Knives/20130112_172329.jpg)


The wires were firmly wrapped around the screws. The needlenose on my Surge came to the rescue. Electricians generally don't use needlenose much. A lineman's pliers is their usual choice. I've done this with a scewdriver, but it is a frustrating process:
(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Knives/20130112_172504.jpg)


Using the #2 phillips bit driver to fix the wires under the screws of the new switch:
(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Knives/20130112_173620.jpg)


Phillips again, to attach/ground the switch frame to the junction box. See how the actuator is clear? I splurged for the switches with the neon bulbs inside; a nice feature in a dark room. ;)
(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Knives/20130112_173930.jpg)


Flat head to attach this very pretty switch plate ;)

(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Knives/20130112_174201.jpg)


I did another one too, but it was a much more recent switch and more of the same. Didn't have time to repair the dining table chair or replace the light socket on a lamp in the basement. Maybe those will be the next installment? :)

I'd be very careful working with a Leatherman around electricity, especially around old houses. :ahhh At my place (not even that old, 35 years) some of the lights aren't connected to the main switch, they are bypassed somehow. :shrug: So even when I turn the power off at the fuse box they still have power. Ask me how I know. :ahhh Always use insulated tools around electricity.

I don't get why Leatherman hasn't utilized this version of the file in anything else.  Which leads to another question of why the diamond file isn't a standard for files on every Leatherman (or Swisstools for that matter) that has a file.  Mainly talking about the Rebar as I don't see a point to having both sides of the file set up like that and no diamond side at all.

Also true with women as far as I know. As the saying goes, there are four important qualities when seeking a mate: First, you want a woman who likes to have lots of sex. Second, you want a woman who is a good mother and housekeeper. Third, you want a woman who has a great career and makes lots of money. And fourth, it is critically important that these three women never meet each other. :D

Bottom line: don't try to find the one perfect multitool; do combos instead. Spirit S + LM Micra, LM Charge ALX and SAK with scissors, etc... You get what you want, and the tools won't mind. (well, most of the times at least... there are rumours of grumpy tools that have bitten their owners when they lost exclusivity of pocket time... ::)) :D

Used the PST II's pliers to try to loosen a stubborn Brita water filter from a faucet here at work.  I say try because I had forgotten that the "righty tighty-lefty loosey" rule doesn't apply to plumbing.  Everyone who tried before me didn't realize that at all as my wife (she works here as well, but in a different building :)) thought to ask me since she knew I'd have pliers on me (haha, another instance to remind her of why I carry them :D).  Well, if they had thought to try the other direction, it would have come right off.  Of course I scratched the twist off part all up and tightened it even more before realizing plumbing works the opposite way.

A Charge with Surge scissors would be nearly the perfect multi-tool.  I guess if there were only one perfect multi-tool, Leatherman would only sell that one, and make less money.

Yes I agree.  I would like scissors on the outside, in place of the saw I would say as that's the one implement I really don't use on my Charges.  In most practical situations (that I know of) where I may possibly need a saw, I will have one on me.  That doesn't mean there aren't cases where the saw on the multitool would be handy and useful.  For my uses though, the saw is the expendable tool in that line up.  Also, replace the fixed large flathead with an awl and voila :o  The perfect-ish multitool :tu: 

Like you said though, if such a thing existed, then there wouldn't be much of a business, nor would it be much fun for us "addicts" ;)

I wouldn't part with the saw on my Charge. It came in handy on a trek in the forest, when I spied upon the perfect wood for a walking stick; a dry-cured black spruce sapling with the perfect curve for a handle.  If I hadn't had the Charge saw, I couldn't have cut through such a wood of legendary strength.  The Spruce Goose wasn't made out of mahogany, after all...

So would you part with the file instead, or the serrated blade?  Just curious.  It's interesting to hear different ideas and uses we all have :)  If I were hiking in the woods or anything of that nature, I would also be carrying my Colombian sawback machete.  In most other everyday situations, I don't need a saw on me, but I know that there could be a situation where a saw could unexpectedly come in handy.

Good question. If I chose my multitool based only on what I expect, I wouldn't be as well-prepared for the unexpected.  The need for a saw at that moment was unexpected, but much appreciated.  Today, I had a crusty baguette  for lunch, and the only thing I could cut it with was the serrated blade on my Charge.  I also hope to have it handy if I am ever trapped by my seatbelt in a drowning or burning wreck. 


I try to cover off all possibilities by carrying both the Juice and the Charge.  The scissors on the Juice are superior, it's handier to access, and the pliers are smaller for delicate work.  For bigger tasks, I prefer the locking blades of the Charge.


I suppose if I had to give something up on the Charge, it would be the file, as I have one on the Juice, which is smaller, but with a file, size doesn't matter as much.  And I can't think of an urgent need for a file; it's usually for a minor fix of some kind.

So would you part with the file instead, or the serrated blade?  Just curious.  It's interesting to hear different ideas and uses we all have :)  If I were hiking in the woods or anything of that nature, I would also be carrying my Colombian sawback machete.  In most other everyday situations, I don't need a saw on me, but I know that there could be a situation where a saw could unexpectedly come in handy.


Good question. If I chose my multitool based only on what I expect, I wouldn't be as well-prepared for the unexpected.  The need for a saw at that moment was unexpected, but much appreciated.  Today, I had a crusty baguette  for lunch, and the only thing I could cut it with was the serrated blade on my Charge.  I also hope to have it handy if I am ever trapped by my seatbelt in a drowning or burning wreck. 


I try to cover off all possibilities by carrying both the Juice and the Charge.  The scissors on the Juice are superior, it's handier to access, and the pliers are smaller for delicate work.  For bigger tasks, I prefer the locking blades of the Charge.


I suppose if I had to give something up on the Charge, it would be the file, as I have one on the Juice, which is smaller, but with a file, size doesn't matter as much.  And I can't think of an urgent need for a file; it's usually for a minor fix of some kind.

I try to do that too, and sometimes it is hard to make a decision :think:  I typically carry a full size multitool and a SAK (or two :D) or the Juice S2.  I figure most unexpected situations will be covered that way, same as you.  It's easier to just pull out the SAK or Juice to handle most simple everyday tasks, but I like knowing I have stronger, locking tools available if necessary. 

Good point about the file though.  I can't think of any emergency type use for it.

Typical abusive day for the poor Surge. Cutting layout template out of cardboard with the knife wasn't bad, but the awl probably didn't like being used to scrape hardened epoxy out of hilti bolt threads, and I bent the heck out of the saw blade trying to cut a keyhole in the base of a temporary plywood wall in order to run a measuring tape through it.

I used my PST II's phillips and large flathead to assemble a baby bouncer seat and the crib.  The crib's bolts were allen's head, but the barrel nuts into which the bolts had to be housed required the flathead to keep them lined up correctly. 

While using the phillips on the bouncer seat though, it closed on me a couple times, and without a lot of force either.  The handles themselves even opened up some when this would happen.  That's the one big downside to non-locking tools and ,unfortunately, why the PST won't get lots of use for screwdriver jobs.  It is still good for other things though.  It's not a big deal though, as I really didn't plan on using it too much anyway as I don't want to cause any damage or wear on it. 

I still love it though :D

If you want to do screwdriver jobs with a PST you could get yourself a LM tool adapter,  they made one that works very well with a PST (the original version with two tangs, not the later "Universal tool adapter" with no tangs).  Then you can use any std 1/4" hex bits.

Thanks for the tip - I was using my surge today and because they were in a fairly tight spot it was difficult to get the plier cutting blades into the cable tie, I ended up using the PE blade to cut off the excess. Nail clippers would have been much better for this task.

So now I have a question, do any MTs come with decent nail clippers ?  Preferably plier based, but I will get a knife based tool if I have to.

I said this elsewhere, but better for cutting zip ties than a nail-clipper, if you have it, is a side-cutter.  Unfortunately, few multi tools that I've seen have a side cutter as an attachment.  It would be very handy for someone who cuts zip-ties frequently.

Today I used the PST II's knife blade to cut up a bunch of cardboard left over from the baby crib and bouncer seat I assembled yesterday.  It was very sharp and worked very well, even on the tip of my thumb :-[

I used the pliers on two Leatherman tools, a new Wave and a Blast too straighten the slightly bent corkscrew on a vintage Victorinox Rainier (partially serrated blade).

I used the Wave pliers to hold the base of the corkscrew and the Blast pliers to gently bend the top of the corkscrew slightly to one side so it cleared the liner better.

Is there a prize for using multi tools to fix other multi tools?

Well this story is actually from yesterday, but I didn't get the chance to get on here last night. 

While I was delivering some supplies to the main office here at work, the UPS guy drove in to pick up any packages and whatnot from the dropoff box.  As I was exiting the building, he asked me if I had a phillips screwdriver in the truck he'd seen me unloading from.  There are no tools in that company vehicle, so I happily replied, "No, but I have one on me."  He asked, "Oh, you have a Leatherman on you?"  To which I proudly replied, "Yes I do."

So I reached into my back pocket, pulled out my Rebar, got the phillips screwdriver out and handed it to him.  He needed to remove the lock from the dropoff box as it had been broken for some time and no other driver had bothered to fix it.  He mentioned that he normally has a Leatherman on him, but had forgotten it that day. :oops:  Let that be a lesson learned, do not forget your multitool(s) each morning :D

This wasn't today; it was over 10 years ago in fact, but here's what happened:
I had left a cast iron frypan on the stove for a bit too long, and when I came back is fully engulfed in flame.  The handle was too hot, I didn't have a potholder handy, so I whipped out my Leatherman, and used the pliers to carry the flaming pan to the sink. It also set the curtains on fire, so I ripped them down also. I was able to eventually douse the flames, and then I used the Leatherman again to put up new curtains. I only had a few minor burns on my hands to deal with.

Replaced a mobile cellphone booster today. I didn't realize they become obsolete along with the phones.  Someone had zip-tied the wires very securely under the seat with big thick zip-ties.  If there was ever a time I wished for side-cutters it was today.  I could only cut them by feel, and I had to use my Juice knife. Very scary indeed.

2. To crack open some Pistachio nuts. Not the easy ones, but the hard ones that have no natural openings, the ones you can never open with just your fingers.

I didn't really have an occasion to use my Wave today, but I did assemble my kids beds with it when we moved here a few weeks ago.  The bit kit and extension really did the trick for the baby's crib, it's put together with hex screws and the counterbore is a bit deep for the bedrails.  I couldn't have done it with the bitdriver alone, it's too short.  Money well spent on that extension and bit kit!

I used my wave and bit kit to remove the shroud for the ballscrew on my CNC lathe at work.  We are having an identical one refurbished and we needed to measure the radius of the balls in the ball nut.  I have my entire toolbox three feet from the machine as I run it every day, but none of my hex wrenches would do the job, the wave and extender were then only tools that reached while still allowing some torque.

It is a math project.  I'm not exactly sure what it's about, but I was told I had to help with the car, which is a given considering it had to be carved/shaped out of a block of wood.  I'm assuming there will be some kind of racing or something I guess.  I really have no idea, but it better be good because I've had to invest some considerable time on something when I don't even go to school ;)  It's ok though, it gave me an excuse to use a couple of my toys :D

Isn't that the truth?  She did do the measurements and marked things for me to use as guidelines.  That took her all of 10-15 mins at the most.  I've easily put an hour or two into it so far.  I think most or all of my work is done though.  She's got to bring home the wheels for it tomorrow, but after that, she has to take it to school to paint it.  Yeah, that's about the only way to make it Italian :D  I did the best I could, but I'm no woodworker, nor do I have any power tools or equipment to get it done easily/quickly like I'm sure many of the other dads do.  All I have are my trusty multitools ;) :tu:

I used this Leatherman to finally find out what all the fuss is about. I got in on sale yesterday, the guy was clearing them.

How is it?  I've been curious about the Flair, but can't say that I would ever use a multitool for food related functions.  Although that little fork is cool, but I could imagine the looks I would get if I pulled that out of my pocket, deployed that butter knife type tool and proceeded to stick it into a spread of some kind that others were also using.  I also have no use at all for a corkscrew, at least not for it's intended purpose anyway.  Still, it's a curious MT indeed...
Title: Re: What did you use your Leatherman for today?

Fit and finish are very good indeed. I get a feeling of primeval design. I can't say I don't like it but I'm not psyched either. It's funny though, you know, a picnic multitool with a spatula and all. As often said by others, I too hate tools clumping and having to deploy them from the inside. Overall I'd say it's OK but certainly not my first choice, especially not for food as you say. Curious is a good word to call it. Also, I think the pliers have limited use but haven't tested that yet. To be continued...  :)

I do like the classic Leatherman style, and I don't really mind the tools being inside the handles like that.  I just wouldn't feel comfortable actually using it in a public setting where there is shared spreads, etc.  The fork wouldn't be a problem as you'd only be making contact with the item you alone will be eating, but I wouldn't picture anyone being too keen on someone sticking their multitool utensil into something they too may use.  Not a sanitary act really.  Other than the food related utensils, it's basically like a PSTII, which I own.  It would be neat as a collector item I suppose, but it's not high on my list.  As I said before, it's just a curiousity as it's a rather unique combination of functions.

Hygiene can be a problem when multitools are involved. Some won't mind, some will. I'm for the latter unless forced to do otherwise. The "classic Leatherman style" as you call it is fully functional though a tad primeval IMO and I simply miss some safety locking on this one.

I'll keep that in mind, I was thinking the same. I'm not a collector really but I think it's good enough for a first Leatherman. Thank you for the tip. The PSTII seems basic enough to be good, same thing I like about the Pioneer. Oh and congrats for your second lass!  :)  :)

Other than the food related utensils, it's basically like a PSTII, which I own.  It would be neat as a collector item I suppose, but it's not high on my list.  As I said before, it's just a curiousity as it's a rather unique combination of functions.
I'll keep that in mind, I was thinking the same. I'm not a collector really but I think it's good enough for a first Leatherman. Thank you for the tip. The PSTII seems basic enough to be good, same thing I like about the Pioneer. Oh and congrats for your second lass!  :)  :)

I would mind that as well.  You can't be too careful nowadays.  I agree about locking tools.  I really like the PSTII, but some of the tools fold in too easily for my liking.  I've heard that issue was improved upon with redesigned drivers on later versions of the PST and PSTII.  They are a nice, basic MT that can slide right into a pocket without being too heavy or bulky.  I do prefer locking tools, but I've found that the Juice models' tools stay in place rather well unless you really put some preasure/torque on them. 

I didn't start off as a collector, but this place has corrupted me >:D  I've only become a collector in that I have a few retired Leathermans I would like to own.  I can't afford to go crazy and have 100+ MTs/SAKs (not that I wouldn't mind if I had plenty of $$ for it ;)).  I've been able to aquire the PSTII and Juice Kf4 so far, with the PST and Original Wave remaining.  I do use them though, so I don't have any "shelf queens" as some would say.  Thanks for the congrats :salute:

I used this Leatherman to finally find out what all the fuss is about. I got in on sale yesterday, the guy was clearing them.

How is it?  I've been curious about the Flair, but can't say that I would ever use a multitool for food related functions.  Although that little fork is cool, but I could imagine the looks I would get if I pulled that out of my pocket, deployed that butter knife type tool and proceeded to stick it into a spread of some kind that others were also using.  I also have no use at all for a corkscrew, at least not for it's intended purpose anyway.  Still, it's a curious MT indeed...

I saw one at the swapmeet but i just couldn't pull the trigger on it, i just think it would sit there with some other MT that i don't use. It's cool and all but not that cool.

Oh you're in trouble all right ;) >:D  I do prefer the plain edge as well, but the diamond file with the sharpening groove is nice.  The only other difference is the PSTII has scissors in place of the awl.  At this point that isn't as major of a factor to me though.  The PSTII just edges out the PST for me as the better all around package, but lately I've been feeling the urge to get a PST as well, just to own both.  That's part of the addiction right there ;)  If I could get a PST with the PSTII's diamond file, that would probably be my ideal PST.

I'm not really a collector I think :facepalm: oh, I ain't foolin' nobody...

A bit adapter would be nice but I have all the MTs and SAKs I need. It's just that the PSTs have this primordial allure, a simplicity I can't ignore. They scream "it's the '80s" to me, a time I only got a glimpse of as a kid and yet I carry with me. :facepalm: I'm supposed to refrain from any compulsory impulsory buying (I don't do a lot of that really) and there I am indulging myself >:D  :ahhh

I don't consider myself a collector either, but then here I am wanting a few retired Leathermans (two of which I have-the Juice Kf4 and PSTII).  However, I use them, and would use the remaining ones on my wish list (PST and Original Wave).  You're right about the PST though, it has this simplistic style to it, yet it is still functional and useful.  I can't afford impulse buying, but that hasn't stopped me from doing so in the past >:D  Sometimes you have to jump at the chance to get certain MTs/SAKs, especially the harder to get ones.

Very unusuall but it saved me a lot of pain and discomfort. Dinner brake en route (im a driver) at KFC. My tooth chipped/broke (at the back of my mouth) leaving sharp and jagged edge that really hurted my tongue. Used a diamond file from my Surge to file down the problem a little. This will keep me sain through the weekend.

And my favourite whenever I get a chance. Cutting off bells from cats collars...

I just used the ruler on my KF4 to measure the width of a couple 3 ring binders here at work.  Nothing earth shattering I know, but it's not the first time I've had to do this, as well as other little measurements like this at work.  Just shows that the ruler can be handy at times, and I'm always glad when I need one and am able to pull out my MT.  Actually, all the MTs in my rotation have a ruler, with the exception of the Spirit.

Oh I see.  Maybe I need to rethink my stance on saws on SAKs.  I've never seen the point for me anyway, as I have saws on my MTs that I carry (other than the PSTII).  I've heard good things on here about SAK saws though, but I didn't want an extra layer taken up by something I didn't care to have on my SAK.

I just used both Leathermans (Blast and Juice KF4) I am carrying today in a rare case (for me) of needing both pliers.  I was using an air compressor to pump up the tires on a hand truck I use to cart supplies around.  The first went fine, but the other tire's air valve was recessed a bit and I couldn't get the cap off of it.  Out comes the KF4 to pull it out a bit so I could twist off the cap.  Well, the valve wouldn't stay out, so I had to get the Blast out to grab the tip of the valve and keep it in place while repositioning the KF4 to pull the valve out further.  Once I got it out far enough, I held it in place and proceeded to attach the compressor to it and inflated it.  Something like this almost justifies having two pliers on hand :D ;)

Built a cigar cutting station and put it on the wall at the cigar shop I hang out at. I used the S2 smallest flat head screwdriver to poke holes in the wall for anchors and hammered the anchors in with the MUT hammer. I still have yet to install a mirror that goes above it. No pics as the boss doesn't want it posted until it's complete.

Just used the bit driver feature on my Crunch for the first time. I've owned this tool for more than 9 years and had no idea it was even there. Thanks MT.O!¡! I replaced a headlight bulb in my Sorento. The whole headlight has to be pulled out to do this and there are 3 10mm screws to take out. Oh, and when I was undoing the retention spring, the spring went into my finger between the nail and finger OUCH!¡!

i replaced some watch batteries with my wingman over the weekend. it made the job so easy. so i saved myself a trip to the watch shop and just did it myself.

i used the needle nose pliers to screw open the screw back of one of my fossils. and just use the blade to pry ( :twak: ) another one of my watches open.

overall, it was enjoyable to do. =]

Used my Crunch to remove a tent peg from (I think) a tree root.  My friend noticed it was a bit hard to bang in, so she just kept hitting harder with her hammer.  :facepalm:  I strongly suggested not to do that in future as I (and my Crunch) might not be around and she'll end up leaving her portable gazebo behind if she can't get the peg out. The hammer wasn't any help at all removing it.  Lots of twisting (rotating) and pulling at the same time finally got it out, and I couldn't have done the job without locking pliers of some kind.  For a relatively compact tool the Crunch is quite robust.  :tu:

The rebar got a little workout. This particle board for shelves came wrapped up in that metal belting. No dykes or shears around so the rebar had to do. Clamped down and did some twisting.Not the best application for the Rebar,but they made due. Broke the belts with no lost limbs. I hate that metal binding on shipments.

Here is my Rebar after use as a small trowel today. It was, for real, the most effective trowel within at least a kilometre of where I was working. Nothing else was both the right kind of shape and small enough to fit in the space that needed digging out. It was not a pleasant experience, but at least my Rebar had a chance to get dirty!

I wish I had a picture, but we were run-off-feet busy at the time, and there is no stopping for pictures when things are that zippy.

I needed to shovel 6 inches of solid, stiff mud off of the footing so we could cover the footing with concrete, giving us a thickened section of concrete floor right under the future doorway. Unfortunately, all the forms were up and the rebar was in (and too long, derp derp), so we couldn't get a shovel in there. We were reduced to gouging and scraping with whatever we could find, since we couldn't get much more than our hands in the space.

Thanks John :salute:  It seems to be working now.  I initially used the small flathead to pry/gently bend the spring outward slightly, but that wasn't working beyond a couple closings of the scissor blades.  So I decided I had to be a little less gentle and use the pliers to torque it a bit outward, which worked too far and I had to bend it back inward a bit.  End result though, is that I got it in just the right place with no damage to anything and they seem to be working fine now ;).  I was worried I was going to have to send it back to Amazon and get a replacement, which would have been disappointing to have to wait a bit longer...that may be a story for your First World Problems thread huh?  It was you who started that one right?

I'm trying for a unique with this one.  ;)  Riding my bike backwards (ie sitting on the handlebars) round in circles on the beach to impress my 10 year old son I managed to clip into the Shimano SPD pedals but obviously backwards...

SPD's are not designed to be clipped in this way!  Had to undo one shoe - hop along the beach to retrieve my Crunch and then manage to lever open the pedal with the locking pliers and learn never to try that again...

Used the Charge AL to remove so light switch covers and vents in the living room so the wife can paint! :)

I also used the blade of my sak Explorer to cut away any painter's tape that stuck after the paint dried somewhat. :)

Got my new Wave and went to work around the house. Used the serrated edge to cut up cardboard boxes instead of my box cutter. The wire cutters to cut wire and a few briars. The pliars to remove a nut and bolt. The file to sharpen two pass thru limb loppers. Can opener to open a can of olives. And the bottle oppener to open a bottle of beer. It's a nice TOOL, but it just doesn't compare to the ergonomics, fit and finish of the Vic Workchamp that I gave my son. And the Vic doesn't compare to the Wave as a TOOL. I'll be EDC the Wave in my jeans pocket. Oh yea, and the saw to trim back a pine tree limb.

Day 2 new Wave: serrated blade to cut several rolls of insulation, large screwdriver to tighten up screws on my garage door, and the saw to trim branches and vines. Speaking just for myself, the LM Wave is s lazy mans tool. I can go for an evening walk around the house and fields with just it in my pocket and still get alot of little jobs done without having to go back to the shed for additional tools. And theres a whole lot more little jobs daily than big ones. Very nice EDC. Although I wish that it had larger scissors and a reamer like my SAK Farmer. BTW the lanyard it FANTASTIC! Working in the attic laying insulation I didn't have to wory about loosing the tool and the same in the fields where it could get hit by a mower and screw my machine up! Alot easier to keep track of one tool verses several. Not an SAK, and an SAK is not a LM.

I used my Juice Pro main blade to open cigar boxes both at the shop and at home. I was elated to see the mrs left her Flair on the bathroom vanity after she put up a shelf. That shows me that she used it when she installed a shelf next to my sink :D

with surge:  opened paint cans, trimmed a couple of brushes with the scissors, tightened bolts on my lil cart, cut the tops off some solo cups, cut about ten miles of string into manageable bits for grommets, straightened a bent key and picked up a cloth from the floor that had some substance on it that i didn't care to touch.  and it is still morning, lol.

with flair:  had breakfast of brie and french bread and some olives i had sitting around.

So what did you use your Leatherman for today?  Did your fix the sink or save the world?

Used my Surge can opener to open 2 cans of chili beans. My Leatherman can openers are all I use in the kitchen anymore.
I also used my Blast to repair one of the mags from my Colt Govt 45. It's an older Blast and the file that it has is far superior to the files in the current Leathermans.

My work desk had a cheap Swiss army style knife sitting in a drawer. Ive been hesitant to use it because it has a horribly designed corkscrew that makes it very hard to use. The tip curls outward into your palm when gripping.

So I pulled my skeletool from my pocket and bent the cork screw inward with my pliers.

Probably would never use the POS in my drawer ever. But at least it wont hurt me or anyone else that might need it in the future.

  Two weeks ago Saturday had broken the left shoulder on a mountain single-track switchback. Since then been in indescribable pain with challenges thrown in ... like tying one's shoes.

  Found this clever video 'Hannah's One-Handed Shoe Tying Technique' which has helped immensely save the one long string.

Hannah's One-Handed Shoe Tying Technique (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLqdQ-f1RO0#)

  Initially was half-hitching it to the other shoe, but that wasn't working out. Cannot bend over obviously, so ... put the Crunch to use.

(http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/tools/Crunch/DSC03675_zps8cf58181.jpg)

  Now if could only put my pants on as easily...  :ahhh

  Think it is okay, landed in soft dirt - that's what stopped it. As for me, had built up too much speed in a short amount of time the body tackled the mountain. Them mountains are tough!
  At the time it looked like just a silly tumble, err more of a WHALLOP!

  Haven't checked the MTB thoroughly but looks okay - for once it fared better that her owner.


  Honestly been strongly considering a TerraTrike Rover (http://www.terratrike.com/rover.php), Nexus 8 IGH, recumbent trike. Don't have the resources to get one though. Tried a fundraiser ..... that was a fleetingly stupid idea.

Sorry to hear of your biking accident Xelkos.  Hope you are doing ok and healing well :tu:

I used my Rebar pliers to attempt to grab one of those big black and yellow spiders we get this time of year outside our place.  I successfully grabbed it, but pulled two legs off in the process (wish I could have gotten a pic), which prompted it to shake its web violently to and fro.  I thought it was initially from what I did, but it kept going on for too long at the same rate of speed to have been caused by my action.  It was weird, never seen that before.  After watching that for a bit, I then stomped it to mush in the dirt >:D  Not a big fan of spiders, and especially big ones like that.

Honestly it just sits still most of the time in a 10 gallon tank. It's more of a looking pet than a petting pet. It (she) hasn't bit me yet but she bit the man who sold her to me. Luckily the venom isn't dangerous and just feels like a bee sting.

That first pic looks like what I see out here.  Never noticed the web zig zags, but they do make large webs.  I suppose they would since the spiders themselves are large, at least compared to what I normally see around here.  My wife would mess her pants if she saw one of those inside.  She is really afraid of spiders, and so that means I'm the resident spider exterminator >:D  I'm not that afraid of them, but I don't like them either.
Well if they are what you have then I have seen them make really cool webs so keep your eye out. If your wife doesn't like spiders she shouldn't come to my house. It is 113 years old and the basement and barn are both unfinished with spiders that would freak me out, and I have and hold a rose haired tarantula.

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind as I crush them beneath my shoe >:D.  I'll check the web out first though ;)  So is a tarantula a friendly pet?

Honestly it just sits still most of the time in a 10 gallon tank. It's more of a looking pet than a petting pet. It (she) hasn't bit me yet but she bit the man who sold her to me. Luckily the venom isn't dangerous and just feels like a bee sting.

Yeah I figured, but I know some people like to take them out and handle them a lot, so I was curious.  I would prefer not to hold one though, because if it bit me, it may take a flying trip to the wall >:(  I'm really not this mean though, just not a fan of insects and other creepy crawlies ;)  A few rodents like mice and squirrels (yes squirrels) have met their end in my home by my hands (well bat ;)).
The only squirrel that ever entered my home met my kitties. >:D

Yeah, unfortunately my two kitties are too lazy to do much beyond pointing them out.  Sometimes they'll catch them and traumatize them, but I usually have to finish the job.  Most times though, they just arouse our suspicion that there may be one around, then we spot it and my wife goes and hides while I get to spend a considerable amount of time moving living room furniture around trying to find and kill it.  It ticks me off too, because I will move one thing and it will come zipping out and go under something else, and it's very difficult for a man with non-catlike reflexes to act as a cat and catch it ;)  One time, Fluffy (our big Maine Coon, who is quite lazy now) came stalking into the living room with the lower half of a mouse hanging out of his mouth.  Unfortunately, it was not dead of course, and he dropped it to play with it a bit more, but I had to finish it off.  Oh, and another funny story (sorry if I'm boring you >:D):  During one of the squirrel incidents, I had found it under our computer cabinet, and I was looking under it and poking with a sword (yes, a sword) and the thing ran right out and over my head.  Then later it died.  The end >:D

Used my TTi  and my AL to seperate two magnets that I bought at the flea market.

I could not do it without a better grip!  :facepalm:

the second time I had to do it, I discovered that I could do it with just the TTi, if I used the cap crimper

My poor little man Tenner toddled into my son's room this morning acting funny.  Hekept pawing at his mouth and looking extremely uncomfortable.  Looking in there, he had jammed a large hunk of wood between two teeth and it was really hurting him. 

This is what I pulled out with my Leatherman Charge.

Well my wife is afraid of them, so any she sees are sentenced to death and I get to carry it out.  I will say I can be more merciful as sometimes I see one and leave it be, but I'm usually busy and can't be bothered to take care of it.  They can be useful for removing other insects, but still not a big fan of them.

Yeah the lanyard its not what I thought it was. I tied a Digicam Bar that looks similar to what you did. What you made looks very neat and uniform. Theres a picture of the digicam bar in the got paracord thread. Its blue and yellow.

I just looked it up on YouTube at TIAT. Pretty cool!¡! That crown sinnet is very tight but there are some mistakes I made in the weaving like not paying attention to the cord being twisted in a spot or two. I don't like how I started this one and discovered a better way (I think) to start it with a two strand diamond knot. I've made several since this one that way and really like the way they've turned out.

That is a good one!  :D :tu: I seriously like spiders very much as longs as they stay out of my bed and cloths. When I was a child I used to keep a female cross spider in one corner of my room and caught flies for her every day. Funnily enough, I called her "Rudi" which is actually a male name. :D

Oh man, today was a banner day for multi tool use.  We have our two biggest CNC lathes down since our move due to various issues.  Not being CNC technicians, my fellow crew leads and I have been largely unsuccessful in making much progress, mainly because we keep trying to let our newer guys do simple things like put covers back on.  One of them crushed an entire wire harness doing this, and blew out a proximity sensor.  We got a technician in yesterday, and he managed to make things worse.  So I decided to hit the books and figure this crap out. 

My pulse saw so much use today it had to be cleaned, many times. 

On our newer lathe, the tool turret wasn't indexing.  My pulse pliers got used to undo terminals to check connections, cut wire, open packages for new parts, unscrew covers and caps to get at components in the turret, and pull chips out of the cable carrier system(had to tear that apart to get them all out). 

Ended up having to replace a single wire that ran from the turret position encoder to the controller.  One machine up and running.

The other one WAS working when Mr. Tech showed up, but he managed to give it the same symptoms as the newer one, which boggled my mind.  After about two hours of poring over manuals that were mainly written in portuguese and poorly translated english, a lightbulb came on in my head and I fixed that machine on my own, and he tried to take credit for it. 

So after all that, our best machine decided the chip conveyor was gonna jam, and my pulse got to pull all the chip stringers that had wrapped themselves around the motor shaft. 

It's been a long day and out of the two machines I was able to get one running normally and the other running sort of normally, with a few small tweaks needed tomorrow.

Well nothing too exciting this weekend. I used it mostly for cutting 8 gauge aluminum wire which I used for my gutter (leaf) guards. I used the HD aluminum clip on guards. I  overlapped them 1/4" and wired them together. Then I used another piece of wire at each end twisted thru the brace and the same thru every third section. The wire blends in perfectly and you pretty much have one solid huricanr proof unit. Some guys have even used one self tapping screw in between the clips of each section further anchoring iy to the gutter. :-)

Unfortunately I was in an motorcycle accident last night, when a woman decided to stop her car, in the right lane on the LIE, a main highway here in NY. I was about three car lengths away and couldn't avoid her so I had to lock it up and hold on and slid into her rear end. Anyway, after being banged up and getting some road rash I had to tighten the mirrors on the bike as well as the floor boards so I could ride it away. Just as I finished the police officer who took the report walked over to give me a copy and told me i had a piece of glass embedded in my left tricep, so I pulled it out with the pliers. Anyway used my Super Tool 300 to accomplish all this.

Yeah, I like the sleekness, and they just have an overall different, almost better feel to them, and smoother opening closing of the handles (at least on mine).  They almost seem more solid or durable in a way.

My legs are burning so bad, and they feel like jello! And of course I had to take another shower and clean the tub after I kicked him out! Here goes the water bill, at least the electric bill should be lower due to the cooler weather and turning the a/c off! JR

tried my teeth first but the pliers worked better  :D

Hmm, maybe Leatherman should make the "Redneck" tool. Has a set of false teeth instead of pliers, a bottle opener, a knife for cleaning your nails, some wire and a short length of duct tape. Should be able to fix anything with that.

Had to use my Rebar's large flathead as a prybar to break into our back door as the front door wasn't opening and couldn't be as easily manipulated to open as the back door.  One of the screws had come loose and was stuck in the latch's hole in the casing.

I always hate to hear when someone has to break into their own house. I hope you get everything secure before leaving the house again...

Yeah, it's a pain.  This is the second time I've had to do this, but the first time was because we'd locked the front door and forgot the key :facepalm:

There's no easy fix to this current issue though.  Of course, I'm not a handyman, so I could be wrong.  The screws holding the latch section together are loose as the wood section in which they are attached is rotted or just fallen apart.  It's an old place, so these things are happening, and the latch receiver in the casing is in the same predicament.  I may have to get creative in trying to fix it as this can and probably will keep happening.

Been browsimg through this forum for a while now so I decided to register and post :)

I never really used my Leatherman Wingman aside from being a paperweight and a beer bottle opener so I'm glad I got the opportunity to use it today.

First, to screw in a soap dish I got from a local department store. Second, to open up my Playstation 3 Slim and dissect its bluray drive.

Been unusable for a year but it turns out my son managed to get a puzzle piece lodged inside the drive which prevented it from reading discs.

Finally, it also helped me take off a drawer lock I had lost the keys to.

I'm been very productive today (considering it's a Sunday) and I'm no technician of any sort either. I'm really glad I took that Playstation apart. Saved me lots of money by doing it myself. Amazing what a Leatherman MT and Google can do (well, okay I also needed a smaller philips and a torx driver) ^-^

Not today, but this week... I closed a drawer after I had put an iPhone cable inside it, but the cable got stuck so the drawer would not open (it had no knob to pull). I used the pliers in my LM Style PS as a lever to increase the space between the drawer and the rest of that furniture piece, and then with a Minichamp I pushed the cable into the drawer. I was able to open the drawer and store the cable properly.

Today my Leatherman got a workout indoors.

Used the pliers to back out (5) 3" screws with stripped heads then used it to put together two steel
shop cabinets in conjunction with an electric drill. The pliers held up fine with no damage to the teeth.

Not sure what happened, I got it that way. It was part of a package deal I made with a guy. I got that knife, two MP600s with MOLLE sheaths, and a Leatherman Juice KF4 for $100.

I used the scissors in my Leatherman Style PS to open a bag of hazelnuts. And I should say it took two or three attempts to cut the plastic bag. I was not very impressed by its quality. Each day I am growing a firmer belief that the only reliable tool on that Style PS are the pliers and maybe the nail file with screwdriver.

The good thing is that I only bought it for the pliers, so... I will keep using SAK scissors.

Ah I see.  Ha, that is funny, gotta love the kids.  Well, I hope the Oreos are found so that you will be let off the hook :rofl:

Awesome site and great topic!

I use my multitool on a daily bases for a number of different task.

The attachments show just a few things I used my Wave for today.

1. Use to replace a thermocouple on a commercial gas range.

2. Used small screwdriver to remove and replace plug on cord.

3. Used large flat blade screwdriver to remove switch for testing.

Used the can opener this morning to dig out some old seals on a sink handle drain on a large commercial sink so I could replace them with new ones.

I have tried to count the number of times I use my MT in a day, but I always lose count before the day is over, lol...

New member, quick update  :)

Wave: On vacation after quite a few years EDC.  :drink:

Skeletool: Opening boxes at work, opening a drink at a Halloween party.

Supertool 300: Bending wire handles for my wife's cooking basket, carving a pumpkin with the saw and awl, removing air filter from my truck, opening a can of beans, removing the foil from an antifreeze bottle, scraping weld slag with the pliers.

Crunch: Removing battery cables on my truck, assembling some tooling fixtures, holding a tooling component while grinding, stripping some wires, fixing my wife's apple-coring machine (had to hold a small, bendable part with the Crunch, and hold the Crunch in a vise to do some precision dremel work) and of course, practicing one-hand deployment/retraction!  :facepalm:

Almost forgot the tool-on-tool tales:

Used Supertool 300 pliers to bend Crunch lower-jaw friction-fit pivot so the Crunch wouldn't "fall apart" as easily when released.

After the pumpkin carving party, my new Supertool 300 developed a loose pivot from all the pumpkin guts. Used Crunch pliers/pin vise to tighten Supertool pivot back to the sweet spot.

Used the Supertool 300 today to clean a neglected weld gun nozzle, trim weld wire and chip/file a welded assembly.

Used the Crunch to hold together a few pieces of steel for welding. Got some weld berries on the Crunch. Used Supertool file to clean Crunch!

Although packing Skeletool, Crunch and Supertool 300, it was all about the ST300 today.

I spray painted a tool I made yesterday. When changing paint bottles, the dip tube fell in a full bottle and I used the ST300 pliers to get in the narrow mouth and rescue the dip tube. I also used it to peel a lid off a new bottle of air tool oil.

Got a call later in the day; machinist crashed CNC machine, broken tooling. I went to assess and used ST300 pliers to remove razor-sharp metal shavings after determining we would have to remove the tooling and bring it back to the shop. The tooling was old, and not doweled in place, so I used the ST300 awl to scribe the X/Y footprint before removal.

Back in the shop, I used ST300 awl to "pop" the quick disconnect fitting to bleed off residual hydraulic pressure and then used the pliers to disassemble some of the broken pieces.

It was all about real tools today at work; I was installing a tooling project I had finished earlier in the week, and my tool bag at work has all the fixings. I think I cut a zip-tie with ST300, just for fun, because my Wave never cut them cleanly.

I got home and used the Crunch to reinstall some siding that was damaged over the summer when a young exterminator clumsily peeled it off to deal with a wasp nest in our garage. He offered to reinstall, which I let him do. Big mistake. I guess he has never heard of a nail-set, and my siding has big hammer marks all over it where he put it back up.  :facepalm: The Crunch was great for pulling out bent nails, especially ones that had snapped off nail heads!  >:(

Also used the Wave pliers to quarter-up a fire starter for my woodstove. 

After witnessing the action of the exterminator, in true DIY nature, next time I'm buying the bee-suit and doing it myself! I was surprised to find them locally for less than $120, which is cheaper than any exterminator around.

Might be worth doing some research on the pesticides you intend to use before starting.  I believe some can be pretty toxic and need special handling during use and disposing of used dispensers etc.  ???
Title: Re: What did you use your Leatherman for today?
Post by: Craiger on October 26, 2013, 06:23:14 AM
That's part of the surprise.... No pesticide required for wasp removal. He just suited up, pried off the siding, removed the nest and put it in a trash bag. I was amazed that the wasps, while a bit agitated, were not really going after him all that much.

Once the queen is gone, workers continue to return to the nest for a few days, but eventually leave and die after they realize the queen and nest are gone. And, wasps tend not to re-inhabit a previous nest location, or the nest location of a former colony (they are territorial from what I understand).

I had to use my Charge TTi and bit kit and extender today, which is a rare occurrence.  I was disassembling a baby swing that we no longer need, but couldn't find the Allen key that came with it.  So I thought of my bit kit and checked a couple of the hex bits and found one that fit.  I attached the bit extender (didn't really need it, but figured why not?) and the hex bit and proceeded to complete the tasks.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to take any pics :dwts:

My Pulse saw a fair amount of use today.  I used the diamond file to polish a very tight tolerance set of parts to size after I machined them, they are .375" OD .314" ID ring spacers that are .050" wide with only + or - .0005" tolerance.  Yes, 5 ten-thousandths of an inch either way.

I used the pliers to remove a few burrs off these spacers, the part-off tool leaves a heck of a burr.

Carried the Wave and bit kit today. Used the 6mm bit to unscrew a pallet changer cover on a Mazak CNC to access a limit switch that was bugging out. Every screw was a challenge and I worried about the torque on the Wave bit holder.  :pok:

I've been using my Wingman for fiddling with the spring loaded pliers.  It's rather fun when one has been used to manual pliers for so long ;)  Oh, and I actually used the package opener last night to initiate the peeling off of the shells on some hard boiled eggs.  It actually worked fairly well at working a hole and then just cutting the shell a little ways to get me started-that thing seems to be rather sharp :tu:  And :twak: to me for not thinking of taking a pic until after the fact, but it would have been tricky anyway as I needed both hands for what I was doing.

A few days ago, I bought a Vixen Porta Mount for some of my telescopes. It used to have two Allen wrenches on board (under a rubber cover) for tuning the mount. One was lost and the other was a 4mm. I tried to understand what the lost one was, in order to replace it. On the screw head one reads TUZ 12.9. I tried all my Allens and nothing really fitted. It was something between 4.5mm and 5mm. Then my Surge took charge and I managed to do the job with the Torx 27 bit that had a perfect fit.
Obviously the (Japanese) mount isn't in metric and the Allen is the 3/16", while the "4mm" is simply 5/32". No chance to find a 3/16" here, so I'm happy I have the Surge. The only driver that handles Robertson heads also (standard in aluminium windows and doors in Greece).

So, I have to reinforce two shelves because they were intended to be cheap bookshelves. The ammo and knives I've got on them is a little heavier than they were designed for, so I picked up some 2x4 to reinforce them. Of course, it's too long to fit in the truck unless I leave the back window open and it's pouring out. So, out comes the sharpie and the tape measure to mark off a good size that won't lose me anything, then the Rebar.

Can it do it? Yes! Is it slow? You betcha. But it worked- the saw is devastating to pine, it's just a bit of a mouthful. Quick hit with canned air then wd-40 when I got home, and it's sitting on top of the heater to be sure it's dry. I'll oil it in a bit.

I was going to use my Rebar to hand out candy to trick or treaters tonight but the mrs said it would probably scare some of them. My answer, isn't that the point?¿? :P
:rofl: That's awesome! My little fella probably would have said "cool multi tool!"

I had to use my Charge TTi and bit kit and extender today, which is a rare occurrence.  I was disassembling a baby swing that we no longer need, but couldn't find the Allen key that came with it.  So I thought of my bit kit and checked a couple of the hex bits and found one that fit.  I attached the bit extender (didn't really need it, but figured why not?) and the hex bit and proceeded to complete the tasks.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to take any pics :dwts:

Got in some Rebar awl action today.  I was reaming out a hole for a screw to be able to reach through that wood frame and into the wall.  It's part of our wood framed plastic window covering we have to put up every year as colder temps begin.  Gotta love old trailers in the winter :facepalm:  It's a pain in the rear, but thankfully, this should be the last time I have to do this :D

Took out my Skeletool and dug out the soil around the root with the blade, then ripped out the entire plant, and took it home to the wife, who planted it in a pot with a big smile on her face.

I used my Wingman to open more boxes, and remove a couple staples from a botched attempt at stapling a report I printed.  It was the staplers fault though...

I used the flat driver on a PS4 to remove the air cleaner assembly on a log splitter.  After hitting the carburetor with starter fluid and getting it running for the first time in 10 years, I replaced replaced the assembly.  Quite manly, I must say.

Since I don't have any Torx tools I used my the needlenose pliers on my Sidekick to remove the pocket clip from my Crater C33T. I then used my Sidekick to re-install the screws to cover the holes.

I wanted to put the light on my Jeep, but I couldn't find a spot to mount it.   :(   Not taking it had nothing to due to the fact it's HUGE, has a 1600 watt bulb with a useable distance of 1.6km and draws 55-60 amps.......

Lots of use today! Cleaned out the pellet stove, disassembled my weatherby vanguard 30-06 to paint the synthetic stock, worked on building a paracord dog collar, tightened a few loose screws around the house, and i know i did a few other things with it as usual. Don't remember the last time I didn't use my wave on a daily basis.

tool- modded wave

I used my Minichamp to open the electronics unit in a soy milk maker. It didn't work. Turned out to be a disconnected cable.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/29/uhevapa6.jpg)

I used the pliers in a LM Style PS to pull the loose cable without having to disassemble the whole thing and put it back into in the right place. The pliers were a good tool because the tip of the cable needed to be a little squeezed in order to stay right there. And the Phillips screwdriver in any SAK is a real lifesaver. I have a small Phillips in the Minichamp and a bigger one in the Explorer, and both are great, covering a lot of different screws in a variety of contexts.

By the way, the small flat screwdriver in the LM Style PS would be able to help here, but I tend to prefer the Victorinox screwdrivers. I'm not sure but I think the metal seems to be more resistant in both my SAKs than in my Style PS.

Now it works, and we'll have a nice breakfast tomorrow :-)

I got some play time with the game tonight, and I gotta say, it was a good time so far :tu:  I had fun getting used to the gameplay.  Driving will take some getting used to as it seems somewhat easy to lose control and spin around a bunch, but that could also just be my inexperience with this type of game.  I'm sure it'll be better with time.  Overall so far, I would get it if you are interested.  I definitely find it to be fun, and I've only just begun. 

On topic:  I used the Wingman today to open several boxes and used the package opener to slice through the plastic seal over a flat containing tubs of coffee.  It worked great for that actually.

One more comment about the driving:  Despite what I said about the handling, it is rather fun.  I was doing donuts in the street, which was fun.  It is actually probably somewhat accurate with how vehicles handle and the speed.  You obviously would have difficulty controlling a car speeding through city streets with traffic everywhere.  More than one pedestrian was unintentionally mowed down due to this, but that's part of the fun >:D  I also stole a tour bus and that thing was ridiculously slow, but that would be accurate. 

Also (sorry for the thread derail by game review here), the police are very aggressive, or at least seem that way to me.  As I said, I haven't played one of these games in years, so this may be normal.  I seem to remember being able to hold them off fairly easily in Vice City, but here I'm having to run for my life immediately it seems.  Although this could also be due to the fact that I'm just starting off and haven't got a bunch of cool weapons and increases stats and all that. 

So I hope they port it to PC for you soon.  I'm looking forward to putting some more time into it tonight :D

today was more fun than i have ever had with a wave.


cut and slightly sculpted a chunk of foam for a santa claus suit

scooped out a faulty battery operated flicker candle from a pvc pipe base

trimmed about six miles of black sheets

cut small carpet squares for table legs, cut some rope, and a bunch of ribbon.

circumcised a cigar, so a small child could mime smoking it for a laugh on a stage.  cut tape to cover the tip so the child didn't come into any mouth contact with the tobacco, because children are our future and so forth.

whittled a cigar out of a fat bit of dowel, painted it with magic marker and a sharpie when the child broke the real cigar before the show.  i felt better, and she totally got her laugh.

Regular or hotdog ones? I used to live off of those when I was a kid especially the hotdog ones!(maybe that's why I'm not to big of a fan on hotdogs nowadays)

But as for the leatherman goes I had to use mine to work on my leather sheath the other day, and again yesterday to make a custom leather Xmas tree ornament for one of her friends, she designed, I just did what she said, worked great for pulling the paracord through along with a safety pin with a hooked tip!

Was at a friends son birthday party today, he is 4 now. Someone gave him a toy violin as a gift which some genius on the factory locked to the box with 4 phillips screws. He was crying, i came with my mut and was the hero of the party  :multi:

Not to mention the "oh what a cool something you got there" coments...  :rofl:

Nice one :tu:

I was using my MP600 to pull out a large bolt in my bed frame, the MP600 was flexing under the amount of torque I was putting on it so I switched to my Wave which held up a lot better. But my Wave did slip off the bolt and just gave me a nasty blood blister. Yay.

Lesson learned.  Never climb a ladder without a Multitool.

Used the ST300 pliers to remove a outside light bulb that blew up in my hand when I went to unscrew it to change it so I used the pliers to bend in the screwed in part til I could get a good grip on it and unscrew it from the socket.  Worked like a charm and now I have a new bulb in! :D

Well this is my first post here on this forum... First, I used my bare hands to open my first ever Leatherman - a new Wave. Then I immediately put it to work breaking through the space age packaging of my son's toys. Got to use the screwdriver to put some batteries in toys. We went to my mother's and she asked me to bust some lightered (I don't know how to spell it) and start a fire. So I used the file to touch up the edge of her hatchet. Then when the fire got too rowdy and spit a hot ember out on the rug my leatherman pliers were to the rescue to pick it up. The rug was fireproof, but that's not the point is it. Also, I discovered that the eyeglass screwdriver is perfect for loosening zip ties.

Used my Style PS scissors again yesterday evening, to remove some loos threads from the tablecloth. 

That nifty little style is a pleasure and handy thing to have with you when a big lm would not be so socially accepted ,like with the christmas dinner.

(Also here in the netherlands it is not so common to have a big kind of tool like a lm wave or surge with you on a daily base, alltough i mostly do carry my wave in my skinth with me, and really cant count anymore how many times i used a ziptie (or2) to save the day for someone.(zip ties can replace broken jeans buttons, shoe laces, keep a muffler under the car from dangling on the ground, and be used to pull up a light hanging to low to let the band play under it.(so dont carry only your lm, but also a 15cm ziptie or 2!)

I do think it depends a bit on where you are, or what you're doing... I think, hearing others here on the forum, it seems us Dutchies are pretty free, both for the laws, and what people think of you, when carrying a multitool. :)

I used my Wingman's pliers to squeeze/bend a piece of metal on a coworker's traction thingies on her shoes.  I have no idea what they were, but they're to help get extra traction on slippery ground.  Anyway, the end of one of the metal coil type things wrapped around part of the apparatus was bent out and catching on the carpet at work.  She asked if I had pliers and of course I did, so I fixed it for her :tu:

Had my first real usage of my new Wave this week.  I was in a junkyard and needed something to prop up a jeep tailgate.  Found some 1"x3" lumber, and cut it to length with the saw for a prop.  Didn't cut all the way through, just scored it enough to break it over my knee.. I was impressed by the saw.  I then used the phillips driver to remove some interior panels.

Used my OHT to remove my truck's crunched tailgate and replaced it with a Tailgate net. My truck look's 1000% better now.

I just used the large flathead driver on my BORebar to pry/bend a section of a file cabinet that was catching on the drawer's lock and making it difficult to open.  I originally thought I'd need a hammer, but then thought I should try the Rebar first.  Just a few little twists to bend the section in and it worked like a charm.  Much quieter than a hammer too, which I'm sure the people in the surrounding cubicles appreciated :tu:

Use the knife blade on my ST300 to cut some sections of sarking, which were then install on my shed roof.

(for the non-Aussies here, a quote from Wikipedia):

Quote
In current usage in Australia, sarking refers to a laminated aluminium foil layer (commonly described as RFL, or reflective foil laminate) that is installed on the roof trusses, beneath the battens, supporting a tile or metal deck roof. It acts as additional radiative and convective insulation and provides a condensation barrier.

Then in the afternoon, I repaired my friend who helped me with the sarking by helping him with some plumbing. ST300 saw and file both came in handy for cutting pipe, and removing the burrs afterwards

Used my Wave (old) to open some packaging. And the OHO blades are SO MUCH EASIER and MORE CONVENIENT than the Rebar.
Not to mention that I like and trust the Wave's liner locks better than the back locks on the Rebar.

I'm not Rebar bashing, it's a great tool and I plan to give it motorbike carry duty. It's just not easy enough to access many times a day.

ST300 got a real workout yesterday as I was installing a sheet-metal roof on my shed. ST came in handy for:

-Pulling out the roofing screws that missed battens going in (oops- only one or two thankfully)
-bending up the valleys of the sheeting under the ridge capping
-various cutting, sawing and filing jobs

I've got to say, of all my multi-tools the ST300 sees the most actual use. I think its a combination of how tough it is combined with the relatively low replacement cost if something goes wrong

Tightened the left mirror on my motorcycle it likes to loosen every once in a while like my left bootlace...left things hate me.

It only loosens because the pressure of the wind rotates it anti-clockwise, the right mirror gets tighter.  You could always put a (non-permanent) thread locker onto the thread to stop it loosening  :)

light duty day.  opened a box with the wave clamshell-opener mod i could have got into anyway because it was damaged.  the contents were okay, so nothing of interest in any way happened.  i might go take something apart.

Filed down the lense edge of my mag light after it rolled out my truck door and down a hill with my tti. It's not the first time I've filed the thing after falls.

Another good day for the ReCharge yesterday.

Blade: Open some snacks and break down some boxes.
Saw: Clean up some sub-floor edges to make them fit better.
Screwdrivers: Removed door hinges for dissasembly, cleaning and reassembly. Reattached said hinges. Tightening the screws holding on the legs of the coffee table.
Pliers: Helped me feed some nylon webbing through a highchair.

Not too shabby. Definitely glad to have it on me.

I used the Blast's metal file to file down the last pin holding the remnants of my SAK Climber together so I can pinch the scissors and install them in my SAK Tinker.

The file doesn't feel like much but it ripped through that pin quick smart.

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/Mobile%20Uploads/9BDA20E9-8D87-42BF-8B9B-107B5597BA20_zpswnidkizh.jpg)

Then had to lightly pry the layers off the pin using the small flathead

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/Mobile%20Uploads/B9F25142-1E7E-40F1-80E2-07255BA7B852_zpsqlh70nih.jpg)

And lastly to twist the pin a couple of times so it'd move

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/Mobile%20Uploads/75AF9BA5-B470-4631-802E-FDB8A7BDAC16_zpspykonyts.jpg)

You can see the years of crap that have collected on the layers on the inside of the SAK liners. Might hit them with the sander real quick.

I just used the scissor blades of a beater Micra to grab a watch band pin to remove it. I didn't have a singe set of needlenose pliers fine enough for the task of grabbing the little spring loaded pin and pulling it back to take it out. The Micra scissor blades grabbed it firmly, and removed it easily without marring the pin in any significant way. Weird.

Also, the flat of the scissor blade was used to compress the pin to put it back in place with new watch band on it.

Micra for the win!

The Blast had to rescue my SAK Cybertool today. I was stripping some old broken hard drives to destroy the platters. The SAK didn't have the right bits for the job.

Who knows why they have a couple of double sided bits, then the rest are single sided. Anyway, out comes the Blast with the bit kit to save the day.

My bolt lock on my 7mm-08 started failing recently. I guess it's from a few years of me being a slack smurf and letting Hoppes No. 9 drip down into the safety/trigger and it's hardened :(

That bit kit I got for the Blast has made it infinitely more useful.

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/Mobile%20Uploads/66CE067B-E605-4A8D-B39A-82C62081102E_zpsgz8g34kr.jpg)

You can put some decent torque on the Wave like this, but the Blast doesn't like it so much. That saying it was fine, it just flexed.

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/Mobile%20Uploads/D976B911-E9EE-4F87-BA9D-D5CE8D00FDED_zpssf3tde9q.jpg)

I'll admit the Blast wasn't much help in taking the trigger mech out. I had to punch a couple of very stuck pins out and needed to get a full size set of pliers, grab with the wire cutter and whack the pliers with a small hammer  :cry: I didn't bust up the pin too bad.

Now to figure out how to clean up this hardened solvent...

(http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Xemoticon/wrench_zps8089e6f7.gif)  Replaced telephone wire inside the trailer today, and relocated the inside jack. Employed the Charge TTi, Serac S2 (later the M5), Crunch, Piranha, and Squirt PS4.

  Used the cut hook to nick out some of the outer insulation on the wire, slipped in the guide, and stripped it down to the end. Worked rather slick. Use the saw to remove a small section of baseboard.
  Had to use the Serac S2 to remove the problem jack that got corroded from a kitchen sink leak. Hot water inlet line burst and shot water all over the floor, which in turn soaked up in the carpet, which in turn nailed the cardboard boxes. (http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Xemoticon/pokecrap_zps4823a131.gif)  Messy to say the least, and smelly.

  Got 'er done though. Tried recycling the wall staples to hold the new wiring harness, that's where the Crunch was used. Most of the staples were less than cooperative and I finally threw in the white flag.  (http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Xemoticon/yield_zpsa0e2f81a.gif)

  Went outside to finish the other end of the wiring when ran into a slight issue... the screwdriver ratchet  was too long for the space I had.  (http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Xemoticon/hmm.gif)  Having no 1/4" ratchet was about to go get a wrench when I remembered the Piranha had a 1/4" hex driver. So... used the stubby adapter & socket to get that done.

  Of course when this idea popped into my head I ran inside to get the digital camera and Joby Gorillapod.  Wanted to share the moment.  :D

Well my Sidekick-X got put to work within minutes of arriving at work, which is unusual for me.  The lady running our folding/inserting machine (folds statements, notices, etc. and inserts them into envelopes to be mailed to customers) jammed it up good on the two rollers at the end.  There were a few envelopes and notices wrapped solid around one of the rollers.

I used the little serrated blade to cut through the mess through the length of the roller, and used the pliers to very carefully and slowly pull the mess off the roller.  It took a few minutes, but I managed to get it all off the roller. 

Occurrences like this (however rare they may be) are one of the reasons I prefer to carry a plier based MT to go with my SAK.  I could have performed the cutting with my Rogue, but I couldn't have removed the mess with it.

Thanks buddy :salute:  Yeah, this was not a finger job as I couldn't reach or grasp the paper to start the pull.  I just had to pull with the pliers in a slow, but forceful way (if that makes sense).  The mail clerk lady was rather impressed that I was able to fix it for her as she didn't know what to do :)  This is a case where a service call was avoided, which is always a good thing :tu:

  Getting a digital camera ready for another photo project, the locking tab came off the SD memory card.  :ahhh

  Took a bit to find the thing, but when trying to put it back (under pressure) shot it off to parts unknown.  :ahhh

  Grabbed a spare MicroSD Adapter, removed the protection locking tab, and tried unsuccessfully to retro fit it onto the memory card that I needed to be working again. That's when I found a small strip of plastic had come loose, so even if I could had slipped the locking tab back into place it would of fell out anyhow.

Showing a locking tab (top layer removed)
(http://www.electronics-lab.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/2452663566_12438cf29f.jpg)

  This is how the tab is inserted. Removing, easy. Putting back, best left to thin fingers and younger eyes! (http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Xemoticon/omg_zps58f75347.gif)

(http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/tools/Squirt/DSC04527_zpsdaa9a216.jpg)

  So... dug out the hot melt glue gun. Affixed two layers, and press formed that into place. Once cooled used the Squirt's knife blade to trim the excess, and cut away material in the channel groove. Charge's files were both used. Now the SD card is back and operational. (http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Xemoticon/boogie_zpsc6e2c751.gif)

  Think I will be better off if can find a 3rd Hand tool, preferably with a magnifier. A headlamp, as am tired of flashlight-in-mouth technique. And wished there was a Squirt-sized Crunch for times like this - especially at 5AM!

Sorry about the quality of the picture I smashed the rear camera on my iphone so this one was taken with the forward facing camera. But here I am using my Crunch to unbolt a door on a bucket elevator system. The old corroded nuts were no match for the Crunch and a small amount of good old fashioned elbow grease.

I used the flat driver on my TTi (that I had filed down to an awl of sorts) to dig/chip away at some ice to free a funnel tip outside by a group of buckets.  It worked great until I tried to pry the tip out when I thought it was loosened enough.  Well it wasn't quite loose enough, and I ended up snapping the whole thing off :o  First MT break for me, so the TTi will have to be heading to LM for repair.

Since it broke at the base he"ll only need send in the tool and keep the modified part. I don't feel the mod weakened the driver so he should be good to go.

Thanks guys, it was my first MT breakage :D  I was definitely prying with it when I shouldn't have been.  The pliers finished the job with no trouble, so I got the funnel out of the ice.  Now I get to mess with the LM warranty business, but at least they're very good from what I've read here.  I just plan on sending the TTi without the broken piece that I modded.  I don't think that part is necessary really as the mod should have had no effect on the break considering how I was using it ;)

Last time that I used my Leatherman BLAST was to cut through a crashed car's windshield. I was on my way to work with two other colleagues (I work as a professional fire fighting and rescue instructor) when we witnessed a car crash. One of the ivolved cars was on its doors and the driver was trapped, injured and unconscious. We called for bacup and I used the saw on the Blast to cut the winshield. Bu the time the FD arrived I had finished with the windshield and FD and the medics took over. Needless to say the saw on the blast was pretty badly damaged.
However Leatherman replaced it with a new one, with the relp of the local dealer "Krilia"

Used my shiny new rebar to fix my bbq today. One of the burners was making a weird noise and cutting out from time to time (a spider had set up shop on the inside) and one of the igniters was a bit too far away.

I've got 8 leather mans now and the Rebar is seriously gunning for the #1 spot. I still like the Blast overall more… but the Rebar has replaced it for my EDC. It's so thin!

I gave the can opener a go on the Blast last night out of curiosity. I expected it to be useless… but it was actually about the same speed as a normal windy can opener and it cut through the can like butter. I'm sure you could get really quick with them.

House flipper had me out on a gig thats a year long ordeal.  I made several adjustments and attached some handles on about 22 windows.  The Wave got the call today and she did amazingly well.  I cut a bunch of visqueen to shield interior finish from other trades.  Tightened a few nuts and pried a few things all without fuss. 

I love the electrician on the job.  All switch plate screws were oriented the same throughout the entire home even the exterior ones.

A wire that goes to my fuel pump decided to melt against my exaust manifold and fry my fuel pump and kept blowing my ECM fuse. So replaced my fuel pump and it kept blowing the fuse. So three days of searching later I found the wire and used my charge many many times throughout the last several days. I used my fliers, wire cutters and bits so many times I lost count.

Finished up an install of a 2 meter amateur radio in my pickup.  My Wingman, Style CS and Skeletool all came in handy.  I mainly used the Wingman for it's wire stripper, the Skeletool as a knife and wire cutter, and the CS for zip tie cutting.

I could probably have done the whole job with the Wingman alone (and a 7mm socket wrench to disassemble the dashboard) if the Wingman's wire cutters were worth a toss. 

Or, I could have busted out my Wave, but it was in the house.

EDIT:  I also needed a drill, and Leatherman doesn't make those. Yet.

This use is an example of the more likely type of use I have for a wood saw on a MT/SAK:  I had to reach a small post it note I had dropped under my desk.  I couldn't reach it myself, well at least not without getting on all fours and going under my desk, so I figured it would be the perfect chance to use my Supertool of course ;)  I deployed the saw on my Supertool, and extended the handles to form a rather long reaching tool.  The saw "grabbed" the note and held it long enough for me to bring it within reach and grab it. 

Given the size of the Supertool, it was quite long with the handles extended, and the saw deployed.  This type of versatility is one of the reasons I like the classic style of the tools inside the handles.  Although the Swisstools and Spirits are capable of this as well.  The Wave/Charges however, are not capable of this function, or at least not with any of the longer tools.  They have the OHO blades though, so I guess it's a tradeoff no matter what.  If you carry a dedicated folder though (Crater c33 for me), then that remedies that issue with the Supertool. 

Sorry, I got rambling again :whistle:

Checking the damage, found the camera cracked half open, the case sides were apart about 3mm, buttons were impossible to press because the cover was bended outwards, and a little piece of plastic that kept the battery compartment closed was broken.
Pushed the case back together, it just popped in, so no problems there, and glued back the little piece of plastic, (found it with the fenix e05), and then used the file on my rebar to clean the dried excess glue, and make it flush with the rest.
All seems good so far. :tu:

I used my Wave and Wingman together to install some PL-259 connectors on some coax I bought.  Yay hamfest!  20 feet of low loss antenna feed line for the WIN.

I installed them as seen in this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPlcT9SXNPs) video. I found the Wave's pliers did a better job at gripping and twisting the plug because it had finer teeth and the handles feel smaller in hand.  The scissors on the Wingman cut the braid like a BOSS.

Used my TTi to:

Scrape rust bubbles off of the Jeep
Help install new hot water heater
Cut up screen on old gazebo that blew down
Cut the tip off of a tube of black RTV
Cut zip ties used on my light bar install
Used the file to smooth out a sharp piece of metal on the Jeep

and I think that's about it.

Wave pliers were used to tighten and adjust cabling that I installed y'day in the studio. Micra was used to cut some gaff tape. Wave phillips screwdriver to tighten some screws on a video camera tripod. Another video production day today. :D

I used the diamond file on my OG Wave as a nail file.  Works pretty well.  That's why I pair my Explorer with this and the TTi as they have the diamond file while the Explorer lacks a nail file.

Was checking my back-up eyeglasses yesterday and found the monofiliament line holding one lens had broken. I was able to fix it today with some fishing line from the garage and an instructable (http://www.instructables.com/id/Eyeglass-repair-broken-monofilament-lens-retainer/).  The Leatherman PS4 scissors work well for trimming fishing line.  :)

I got to break in my SuperTool today while we were beginning work on our future house.  And by work, I mean a degree of demolition, which is more my specialty than anything else :D  However, what we did today wasn't the fun type.  We pulled up the carpet in a couple rooms, to expose the layer of padding material.  Well, this material was very attached to the hardwood floor underneath.  Anyway, there were staples around the border of the padding, and I used the smallest flathead to pry them up a bit to allow the pliers to grip them and rip them out.  My wife used the pliers to pull up a section of carpet, and used the large flathead as a scraper and pry tool as well.  I had told her before we left that it wouldn't hurt for her to carry one of my MTs, but she declined.  I think she may do so from now on ;)

I forgot to mention that I also used the Crater c33 for cutting some stubborn strands of the carpet that were clinging to corners against the wall as I pulled the carpet up.  This is probably the most I've used a MT in a single day (the SuperTool I mean).  I think it'll be a good companion during the various projects in the house :tu:

Used my Surge for all kinds of task. The biggest task used to day was cutting barbwire out from under the brushhog that had gotten tangled up in the blades. The hard wire cutter ate it for breakfast.

Yeah Nate, we were busy yesterday.  I'm feeling it today too.  I've let myself get out of shape the last few years, and being on my hands and knees off and on for a few hours, prying/pulling up staples and scraping stuff off the floor has made me feel some muscles in places I haven't felt worked in a while ;)

Post by: Monrogue on May 04, 2014, 05:36:50 AM
The SuperTool got a good workout (compared to normal for me) again today while continuing the floor work at our house.  Primarily staple, nail and carpet pulling.  The pliers are proving to be a big help for me so far, at least in this type of work.  I can see how a MT would be indispensable to anyone in the tradesman line of work :tu: 

Anyway, I started off using the smallest flathead to pry the staples up to allow the pliers to finish pulling them up.  Unfortunately this resulted in the first battle wound for this gem of a tool:  I broke the tip off of the driver.  I've since filed it to neaten it up, but here's a pic (not a good one though, sorry):

(http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/khtibbetts/MTs-SAKs/IMG_20140503_144054_625_zpsf28f8085.jpg) (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/khtibbetts/media/MTs-SAKs/IMG_20140503_144054_625_zpsf28f8085.jpg.html)

Here are some pics of the other action for the SuperTool today:

I switched to the medium driver for the staple loosening task, which is probably the one I should have been using to begin with.

I should also add that my wife was happy to carry my BORebar today after needing my SuperTool a few times last time we worked at the house.  She said she used it, but I'm not sure on what as I was busy doing my own thing.  She likely used the pliers at the very least as she was doing similar work to mine, although minus the staple/nail pulling.

Used my rebar's plier head to take out two sim cards that were stuck. Just pulled them out by pressing on them with the tips of the pliers, and pulling back.
...beyond light duty for the rebar, but it worked.

Had nothing ready to go for lunch at work and overslept a little bit, so grabbed a can of Spaghettios on the way out the door in a rush. Pull it out for lunch, it's not a pop top (like the Campbell's soup cans I bring in on occasion) and not a can opener anywhere near me... NOT A PROBLEM!

We cancelled our tv cable subscription recently and then we discovered there was no antenna signal in the wall outlet. So I decided to make new antennas. I made two simple DTT antennas from a piece of coaxial cable.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/26/adugyhah.jpg)

I used a Vic Explorer to cut the plastic and to strip the copper wire, a LM Style PS to cut it and a Vic Minichamp to screw down a little Phillips screw that holds in place the wire in those coaxial terminals.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/26/8erytepu.jpg)

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/26/u7u3ymu7.jpg)

The Explorer came handy to cut some tape to fit the whole thing together and to place it in the window.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/26/syqa9y5u.jpg)

Now we have TV back, for free. Unfortunately, here in Portugal we only have 5 channels broadcasting in open signal through DTT... I really hope things get better in that respect.

almost.  it probably isn't what tofty envisioned for his project, but i feel he will appreciate the diversity.  i even broke out the t-shank spork for dessert.  i am lucky to have an understanding partner who is used to my weirdness, even at the table.  i made the set in the first place to go with the surge because of the bad habit fast food places have around here of shorting you your plastic flatware.  it was a pain using it with the surge, though, because there is nothing quick about the change-out, but this gizmo is amazing, and he even included the lil tool to use the screws.  tofty, i couldn't be more impressed, thank you for making this little thing.  i'm going to use the hell out of it.

and, i have actually broken stuff, using the leatherman on it to 'fix it better' because i was bored and wanted to use the leatherman.  sigh...

Well, the awl, the knife and the serrated knife (to cut fabric, sewn stuff and other stuffs) Awl to open up some tightly stuck plastic extremities.
I had to do some other reinforcement work but this I did not have my MT. Was at some one's place. Else, the cutter and saw would have come handy!

I had to saw up a block of wood into a long, slender shape to be made into an odd shaped car for my daughter's class project.  I had to do this last year as well, and it's not easy as I have no power equipment, like a table saw or something that would have made this a two minute job.  Instead it was like an hour of constant sawing motion and sweating.  The SuperTool performed excellently though.  I also used the file to smooth the edges after sawing.  Here's an in action pic my wife took:

I don't know about the POMs, but in Oz I've never heard of the term.  I'd call it a "slasher" or maybe a "rotary slasher" or more formally a "PTO mower".

I guess its a bit like Americans calling a photo-copier a Xerox because that is the brand name of a very popular maker of them.

I really want a belt clip for my KeySmart, like those on knives. I don't want a dangler. Can't find any, so I tried making one out of 2 mm brass rod I had.

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-2_oZLKvIXDY/U5pc-73_n1I/AAAAAAABgcI/35i6nIrbHuY/s1000/IMG_6175.JPG)
First I bent it into a "safety pin"

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Yyra_cC0vpo/U5pc-yeeHHI/AAAAAAABgb8/ndAzUhoiYiQ/s1000/IMG_6176.JPG)
Final product. It's quite secure, but swings sideways sometimes and is quite hard to install. I used my Rebar and Style PS.

Rebar pliers are rock solid. No bending whatsoever. I thought the tips might break but they didn't.
Style PS pliers are... light duty. They can't bend the rod at all without twisting like a pair of scissors. I think they're too thin - they're only about half the thickness of the Style. Slightly useful for holding the rod, though.
Rebar hard wire cutters can cut through 2 mm brass!

The Supertool got some good work in today helping at our house.  I used the pliers for pulling nails out of some boards, which in some cases were larger nails that required some good torqueing.  The nails bent up considerably at times, but the Supertool did not show any signs of weakness.  My wife was using my BORebar for the same purpose, and she needed me to pull out the larger nails.  The Rebar was solid as well, and actually kind of felt slightly more so I think.  Oh, and the flathead drivers on both were used to remove some outlet covers as well.

Just got done helping someone do maintenance on our mower. Wave got used for several functions (removing air filter cover, pulling choke closed.)

The lady that fixed it, a high school automotive mechanics teacher, when she saw the Wave said "Oh, so you got one of them boyscout knives."  :D

I don't like correcting folks that help me fix things.

This is the first time I met this lady, so I told her about the problems with the pit bull next door, in case she had dog issues. She said if it attacker her, 'I'll just kill it," and picked up a piece of pipe. I doubted very much that if I'd flicked open the blade, she'd have batted an eye.

I kinda like her.  :D

I used the (flat) screwdriver on my Style PS to turn a smaller Philips screw than I thought possible:
(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3893/14477394984_a07057eb35_b.jpg)
I realized screwdrivers and screws aren't simply "fit" or "don't fit". It's just that the better the fit, the more torque you can apply.

The heat /cool knob in my bronco broke off a few weeks ago..... Left only a small metal spindle about 1/8" in diameter.   It was cool and rainy last time I drove it.   Today,  sport coat and tie,  I drove the twenty minutes or so to church with the outside temps pushing 90 and humid.   Used my rebar to grab the nub of the control and spin it to cool.   So I guess it saved my life.... Or at least a very sweaty collar.

Yes, the black oxide Rebar. Since losing my original PST, I've had a Wave and a Skeletool and now the Rebar. The Rebar is by far my favorite and I love the black oxide look.

Sorry; holiday weekend here...so - Gerber MP600 - it's the snub-nosed version with the TC replaceable wire cutters [yeah, at $20 a piece].  One 'survived'; the other shattered.  Btw, *nowhere* does it say that you can't use the Gerber wire cutters for [fill in the blank].  Aren't these geared for military?!

At ANY rate - used the replaceable wire cutters on the MUT.  Truly, they went through chain link fence with absolutely no problem.  I mean, that's awesome; that's why one purchases such tools, n'est-ce pas?  The 'hard' wire cutters, of course.

Gerber did send me a pair of TC cutters as replacements - no charge -- but made it clear I pay from here on out.  Do you see my eyebrows raised in unison??   :D  Yeah; cuz they are.  It won't be the last Gerber product I buy, but ABSOLUTELY the first & last multitool I buy from them.  I love the fact that EVERYONE who posted on their website listed the total FAIL of their TC wire cutters.  I'd say theyz got a problemo...

I really love my LM's - I'm also totally schizophrenic between the MUT's I've got and the Surge.  I take the Juice XE6 on dogwalks [and have used it on said dogwalks], but I love the two aforementioned LM's.  I feel naked without them!   :ahhh

Wire cutters are extremely important to me on a multitool. That's one reason the Wingman has become much lower on my list of used tools.

It's well known that the Gerber tungsten cutters will shatter when given too much to chew. I do use the TC ones but have several replacements on hand just in case. I use my Wave wire cutters for most cutting but for anything heavy-duty I use the Rebar.

Yeah; when you need them, wire cutters [IMO] are indispensable.  I had some idea going in on the MP600, but still.  'Night & Day' is an understatement to describe the difference between the Gerber and the LM MUT.  Unreal is more like it.

At any rate, probably the heaviest stuff I've cut with LM wire cutters [chain link fence]...and they did not let me down.

I cut open a couple of 50 pound bags of quick setting concrete mix with my Charge Ti while installing a flag pole.  This is the first time I have dumped the dry mix in the hole and then added water, rather than mixing it first.  The telescoping poles at www.uncommonusa.com (http://www.uncommonusa.com) are awesome, btw.

today was Leatherman use to the max for a desk pilot like myself.

we are moving offices (short notice, no time to prepare, furniture must go, etc, etc)

so I disassembled 5 interconnected cubicles, 3 storage racks, 2 network racks, with just what I had on me today (Wave, Bit extender, Full Bit kit, Croc, and Cyber-Yeoman)

I was very popular today!!   :tu:

The Rebar and my Solarforce T1 got a good workout the other day.

My reverse lights aren't very bright at night (especially on the farm) so I wanted to sort that out, and I also never have enough light to see in my toolbox when I'm in the back of the truck. So Rebar to the rescue.

I had to take out a bunch of the dash and center console so I could run some wiring down to the back of the truck under the carpet.

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/IMG_3171_zps05860436.jpg)

I drilled and tapped some holes in my tow bar frame and installed a small 2000 lumen LED bar on it

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/IMG_3207_zps7a2fb851.jpg)

So now I can see behind me

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/IMG_3209_zpsee47e5c5.jpg)

Then for the boot lighting I used the Rebar to wire up some LED running lights to my boot door circuit. Waaaay brighter now.

The Rebar is perfect for this kind of stuff. The electrical crimpers are VERY useful. They should be standard on all Leatherman models.

Here's a tip I learned during my stint in the building-supply business:  When anchoring a post in the ground, center the post in the hole; pour a bag of ready-mix in the bottom; tamp soil into the middle section, then pour another bag of ready mix at the top. Tamp firm.  Cover the last bit with soil or sod.  The next rain takes care of the rest.


I find that this method makes for a tighter fit, with less movement.  Adding water makes things mushy, and it's harder to keep things aligned.

Installed a backup camera in my '09 Toyota Corolla. I thought I might be able to do it in the parking lot of the store where I bought it, just in case I needed to buy any additional supplies or tools.


It took a total of 15-20 minutes, and the only tool I needed was my Leatherman Charge.  The wireless camera attached behind the license plate with some stickum. The power lead went through a notch I made with the file beside the license plate lamp, which I loosened with the Leatherman screwdriver.  It was easy to route the wires and tie-in power from the backup light wires using the included T-taps. The pliers on the Charge were ideal for crimping.  The other portion was the mirror/display, which fits over the existing mirror with spring-loaded clamps.  The power wire was easy to route around the headliner and into a 12V socket.


That's it, all done. It has been working perfectly for many months ever since.  I love the display built into the mirror, because it doesn't take up any extra space.  The image only appears in the mirror when you are reversing, and the rest of the time, it functions like an excellent rear-view mirror, with built-in dimming.

I've heard of that method, and its sounds cool.  Certainly reduces labor.  But I just like seeing the concrete firm up before my eyes and know for sure that the post (in my case flag pole) was dead plumb before I walked away.  With my luck, by the time the concrete set up, my base would be off a couple of degrees and that really gets magnified at the top of a 25' flag pole.  I would like to try it sometime, though.

In my experience if you tamp it firm, it stays put. I use rocks to wedge things tight if I can.  I don't like adding water because it seems to make things move.

My desk fan at work seized yesterday. The motor was still working, but the shaft had seized. So, Blast to the rescue. I stripped the motor down, cleaned everything and re-lubed it so the shaft could spin freely again. Works as good as ever now.

I'll probably have to take it apart and re-lube with grease at some stage as I'm just using oil as it's all I had on hand, but it works for now.

I used the file on my BORebar to cut a fork in half for some kind of craft project my wife was going to try.  I guess it was to make the handle end into a ring somehow.  I used the Supertool's file to smoothen the cut end of the handle as the Rebar's seemed to be too coarse for that task.

Used the Piranha II to pry up some nailed down wooden bits on a roll top desk I'm refinishing [worked great].  When a nail popped through the wooden piece, I tried the MUT foot [i.e. hammer, but in reverse - get it?  ;)] on the nail.  I don't know my nails that well technically, but a kind of finishing nail but with a flat head.  Anyway, MUT popped the head off.  When I couldn't pull the remnant out with MUT pliers [tough bugger], Surge came through with newww blade exchanger holding a hacksaw.

Aaand...used the MUT hammer to close the louvers on the attic fan.  They never close now, once the fan is turned off.  Probably because I haven't WD-40'd them.  But if I did - then I'd never use the MUT for that purpose again, would I??   :D

I'm growing to like the PST2 more and more.

One of the computers had work had the wireless card crap out on it so I've removed that and as a workaround made a network cable using the PST and cat5 crimpers.

The serrations on the blade were perfect for resting the cable on and turning to trim off the outer cover. The scissors trimmed the excess fibre stuff to get that out of the way, and the wire cutters trimmed everything to length.

Just got a Crunch and today I used it to repair my lawn sprnkler system. It was perfect for getting into the hole and gripping the irrigation pipe. I used the serrated knife blade to cut the risers. All in all, I was very happy with it's performance. I will use it as a supplement to my ST300 and I also carry a Kershaw Select Fire so with these 3 tools I can cover a lot of applications.

Not sure how a MT helps tie leaders.  :think: For me it would just get in the way and take up use of a hand, but if it works for you then all the better.  :tu:

EDIT: Actually pulling the hook (to tighten the knot) with the pliers might be much safer and work out well.

Ouch, whatever answer i will give, it will be a walk through a minefield, right?  :think:

Both tools were new/nearly unused, so both needed some breakin on all their joints/pivots. Cleaned them first, then after the some hours i gave them another cleaning to get rid of the black stuff they were oozing out, then re-oiling and so on and so on.

For the pure flik - the leatherman OHT wins with waving banners. It fliks out that smooth .... the 600 moves rougher and so it sounds, also.

Same goes for putting the pliers back in - OHT is way smoother than the MP (wich often needs to be pushed in by hand instead of slipping in by gravity), but the OHT has the habit to stuck on the 2 release pins, then it needs some wiggeling before it slides back in.

I used my Rebar's pliers to undo some bolts in our shop's air compressor housing in order to get more airflow to it.  It keeps overheating.  Tech should be here next week to actually fix the dang thing.

I also used the Rebar's awl to ream a hole in the wall to run some new ethernet cable to a new office.  That awl is so great to have on me, I use it quite a bit.

I used my rebar a few times today to trim wire from one of our Mig welders after I bumped the trigger(too many damn times to count, I'm not a great welder) and used the pliers to pry slag off the tip.  I was modifying a splash guard I designed for our horizontal band saw, it had one leak I missed in the design phase.

I have used that rebar's wire cutters to cut some really hard stuff, and they don't look like they've ever been touched.  I'm loving this tool for work.

The Robertson bit in my bit kit has seen some action as of late.  I got some flat pack furniture from a Canuck outfit called South Shore, and all the hardware for them are square drive with little flutes in the corners for a Phillips.  They're actually much easier to turn with the square bits.  I'd probably have cussed myself evicted if I had to use a Phillips bit on these.

Nurse Micra supplied the scalpel and tweezers to get rid of a nasty splinter on my finger. Surgery was a success.

done that before,  I like the micra's tweezers, but sometimes I wish they were removable like the SAK ones.

  Always thought that the unremoveability would be a problem. But so far I haven't really found any situation in which I would need them out of the tool.

My PST2 helped me finish my interior LED retrofit in my truck. In typical "Made in China" fashion the 31mm bulbs I bought were actually 35mm so I had to take out the light fittings and fiddle with them to get them to fit, but WOW. Sooo much brighter.

Of course thinking I knew more than I did ended up with me blowing a fuse, and I didn't have any spares so I pinched the fuse from my horn to test it out (going to have to go to the electronics store tomorrow).

My PS4 was used to help put my Rebar back together (mainly to get the washers in place).

I took the bit driver out of my TTi Re-Charge and swapped it for the phillips from the Rebar.

I have the bit adapter that goes onto the phillips,  so to me I loose no functionality,  however, I also do not have to worry about how I close the tool like I did before.  the plier head sometimes would wedge into the bit driver.

Used my Juice S2 to fix two Anderson screen doors. One needed the adjuatable sweep raised up as it was rubbing. Used the wire cutters to cut an over-swing chain that wasn't attached to anything. Then I ajusted the latch and gave it a few shots of WD-40. Other one just needed the latch adjusted.

Then I disabled the door bell (removed terminals from transformer) because people insist on riging the door bell multiple times waking up my 6 month old from his nap.

Last thing I did was replace a HVAC vent.

I used the Rebar to install some new HID spotlights on the Hilux over the weekend. I tapped into the high beam wiring so it triggers a relay and runs the spots direct from the battery.

I quickly found out they're FAR too bright to have on the road all the time (they're insanely bright) so today I installed an isolator switch so I can disable them from the high beams when I want.

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/Mobile%20Uploads/830BC1B9-4B33-4F97-9612-9EF7C16001FB_zpsgez88xuq.jpg)

The Charge (which I used today) let me down. I had to go get my screwdriver set and crimpers. Describing the screwdriver reach as "poor" is being kind (especially with the pocket clip... but it's too handy not to have), and I really miss not having the electrical crimpers on my other Leathermans. It's such a great idea to have.

My Hilux had a bad case of Diesel bug a couple of months ago. I've had the tank removed and blasted and I've replaced the fuel filter (and it gets some diesel treatment every tank), but it's started running like a dog again.

I stopped by the auto shop and grabbed a new filter. I had the Kick on me today so I used that to swap it out.

I've accidentally driven down the road with my rear spotlight on twice now, so I used my Blast to pull the switches for the light out, then install it in the dash (instead of by the hand brake) and installed an annoying buzzer so I know if it's on or not.

It's messy but I was using scraps of wire I had around as I didn't have my full electrical toolkit on me.

BO Surge had a field day today. Many uses pulling parts off decommissioned machines at work.

Used the awl for picking out screw caps

Phillips bit driver to remove said screws
(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/02/2bf190fa613308b5edf868a40eaa6b2e.jpg)

Used a 4mm allen key bit to remove mounting screws. No pic.

First use of my hack saw blade. Used it cut off a cable from an old vacuum. Couldn't get the surges pliers around the whole cable so this really worked a treat.
(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/02/0022508da37f594d2cef97981f20a2db.jpg)

Like that bottom pic. Nice looking Wave BTW. I love when the BO gets that worn in look.

Nate
Yeaaa me to that is why 90% of my LM's are BO. By the way this wave opens and closes at least 10 times/day at work..

I used my Rebar to cut tons of tape and zip ties on my sons birthday toys, and also to remove the 147,000 little phillips screws that hold every single toy to it's damn package.  I had to do some minor repair on the foot of his new RC t rex.  One of the rollers in the foot got jammed, so I used my phillips to open it up and reset the pin so it won't get stuck again.

I carried my Wave today and used the heck of it.  I hung a mirror and used the blade trim a wall anchor.  Used the flat driver to make adjustments on my Coleman stove fuel tank.  Used the pliers to tighten some screws and the saw to cut some bracing for a shelf.  The Wave is a terrific tool that came in handy throughout my day today.

Wow. Full disclosure here. I had some friends start carrying a leatherman in the late 80's and I thought it was a giant piece of trash. hard to work,good for nothing.
 Then less than a week ago i got my wave. In the last two days I used the scissors to trim my nails,the pliers and can opener to work on a couple flashlights, The wire cutters to work on electric fence and the knife to cut a bunch of stuff. I did all of this without carrying the whole pocketful of tools i would usually need for these jobs.
 I am so happy with my wave I bought a surge off of ebay. :D

Pleasantly surprised again today. I thought "when will I ever use a file". Tonight I needed to jump start my tractor. My jumper cables were rusted and I couldn't get a connection. In the past i would have tried to scratch them up with my knife. Tonight I filed them shiny and they worked great.

Yeah yeah I know double post. At least it is on topic for once.

So today I had my only Leatherman on me while we fixed a old tent floor that had caved in. My trusty Wave.

Here She is hard at work removing old screws.

(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/HarleyXJGuy/Knives/Wavework.jpg~original)

This is what the job looked like about half way through. You can see some of the floor we still had to fix at the back of the picture.

(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/HarleyXJGuy/Knives/job.jpg~original)

I am not going to lie I was a little nervous because the wood was very dried out and the screws were pretty big. The Wave did fine though.

I opted to not use my Leatherman today - specifically the Core.

Vic Yeoman phillips fit better in the screws I was trying to drive.
Tool was too cumbersome for driving some small flat head screws, so the Yeoman's combo tool got used instead. Leatherman's awl was way too fat for starting off holes for some screws, so I used my Evowood 14.
Yeoman's knife was easier to get at for opening a pack of carpet tiles.
Yeoman's knife was easier to get at for trimming some 6mm ply
Yeoman's knife was easier to get at for sharpening a pencil
Core has no scissors so couldnn't help with a hang nail - Yeoman saved the day
Evowood 14's awl was easier to get at and better shaped for prising the inner out of a still flush finial hinge

Got some good and some bad news.

Someone snapped one of the grease nipples off the hay rake.
Out comes my trusty blunt nose Surge.
Hammer awl into the broken threaded bit and twist it out.
Replace with new nipple and then grease the wheel.

Used my Rebar to open my mouse, to fix the erratic behavior of the scroll wheel.
The serrated blade worked nicely for peeling the teflon feet, and the Phillips screwdriver on the bigger screws.
Had to use a smaller screwdriver for the other screws though.
Mouse working fine so far.

Yesterday at work we received our new duty weapons - the FNH 40. It is replacing our tried and true Glock 22 (.40 cal) and surprisingly it feels a lot better in hand. Along with our new duty weapons we FINALLY received mounted flashlights and holsters to receive 'em. Since this occurred on most of our days off the guys weren't fully prepped with tools....but yours truly was

The mounted lights, TLR-1, require a flathead to get the first turn and the last going unless you happen to carry pocket change such as a dime or penny (but what fun would that be?). So out came my trusty Pioneer to assist everyone with their lights.

(http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk239/batosai117/Alox%20SAK%20Knives/E52F12FA-3ECE-4A03-B460-A7A9F5507371_1.jpg) (http://s281.photobucket.com/user/batosai117/media/Alox%20SAK%20Knives/E52F12FA-3ECE-4A03-B460-A7A9F5507371_1.jpg.html)

Photos were taken later on but that's what my pioneer got to do :D

In addition to this story my Leatherman Blast was put to use on the new duty weapon as well. The mini screwdriver bit was used to insert into a tiny hole in the rear grip of the handle in order to remove the stock grip for a smaller one. Worked perfectly not just for me but for 6 of my buddies that also swapped out their handles too.

Very nice tool that Crunch, I use it much more than I thought I would. A locking plier acts as a regular plier also when needed, It could be used as a minimalist tool in place of a Skeletool in my opinion, if only it had the bit holder.

Forgot about that, you are absolutely right. So I can use my Victorinox ratchet extender with it, that's awesome.
So, a Swisschamp XLT and a lightweight tool with locking strong pliers, a hex adapter and a serrated blade. I won't miss anything if I add the ratchet, the extender and the hex bit holder in a Skinth. I bet that the Shield 2XL will leave me space for even more. We'll see in a couple of years months when I'll receive my Skinths.

I've been using my Piranha every day for the last couple months to pry open the broken door on our 20 year old microwave. I'm hoping to get some gift cards for Christmas to help get a new one, then that'll be the wife's Christmas gift. :-) I never knew how useful those one piece tools could be!

I see you're still getting along with that Rebar. I keep switching MT's so I'm currently back to the Wave clipped in my left pocket. I've made the most use out of the replaceable bit tool.

We had a vote.

Everyone will carry a Rebar until further notice. Or the 1st of January whichever comes first.

It was try-to-be-a-plumber day today.  I had to repair the kitchen faucet, replace a bathroom faucet, fix a toilet flange and re-seal the toilet.  My Wave was called on for both blades, file, pliers, drivers, and scraping/prying with the large flat driver.

With the plumbing jobs done, time for some electrical work (switch replacement) and re-grout of some tile.

My wife and kids took a road trip this weekend, so I have an empty house with lots of broken things to fix.

We moved both tree stands.

Used the knife to cut all the straps, the stands have been up for 3 years and the combination of prescribed burns and the tree growing had tightened and melted them.

Also used the pliers to brake a wing nut loose.

Leatherman Wave was used to tear down a vintage Wahl Senior Aluminum body clipper.  It works great but when I took it apart a screw broke off so I'll need to order one hopefully from Wahl.

Looking at the patents it appears this clipper may be from 41' to 53'.  I saw one recently sold for $157 on the bay of fleas however that one didn't have the red ring like mine. 

I'm very stoked as mine was bought for $5  :D.    I gave it a quick clean but I'll shine it to it's original mirror finish soon enough.

I used the Rebar's file to blunt the end of a tiny cotter pin I installed on a jacket zipper which had broken into pieces.  (Photo below show cotter pin with sharp end before filing.)

Use my Surge so far to help cut some insulation of a DHW line to see where the leak was coming from.

Last night I used my ST300 to help remove the rear bumper cover on my parts Jeep.  I also used it to cut the fuel lines off of the tank as the clips were being stubborn on the feed and return lines, and the filler hose did not want to come off the filler neck either.

Very true.  I use Raw Honey on darn near everything.  If you get it local to your area, it has some great benefits like helping with allergies, etc. 
I use it on the grill with just about everything.  It goes in my coffee, tea, etc.  Anywhere you would use sugar, I try to use Raw Honey.

So my cordless drill/driver ran out of battery.  Put battery in charger but the charger seemed dead.

Happened to have my single arm Wingman in my pocket having just replaced the Schrade blade with the Wingman blade.  The Phillips had the reach and fit then, bum, the last screw was a security screw.  Not a problem as the bit kit fits my Phillips except I couldn't find the bit kit  :facepalm:  so it was Rebar (plus) to the rescue with its ex-Wingman "file" hex driver.

As it happens no obvious issue inside the charger so that's my weekend screwed.

I didn't do anything that cool ^^  Good work!

We're painting my kids' new bedroom and bathroom (making room for the soon-to-be new little one).  I used my Wave's fine screwdriver bit to loosen set screws on some fixtures, used the bigger phillips screwdriver bit to remove the wall brackets under those fixtures.  Pliers pulled nails out of the wall, and the flat driver took off outlet plates.  Tried to give it a well-rounded workout.

I used to use my Rebar for that task. I need to replace the cutters on it now because it can't even cut s zip tie. The juice was struggling but it did the job and did it well enough I have a new respect and love for it.

I used the saw on my Super Tool to cut some dead trees that I was clearing from a streambed.  That saw is every bit the equal of my SAK Huntsman!  I like it a bit more than the one on my Rebar, if only because you have more of a grip from its bigger size to work with.

A lot of people seem to prefer the larger ST300 to the Rebar. Years ago, when the ST300 first came out, it was my EDC and favorite MT. The main problem I had though was the weight of it. When the Rebar finally came out I was thrilled.

I'm with you Saw.  I've got one of the original Super Tools with the leather pouch.  I don't mind it on my belt, but it's a bit much for a pocket carry.  On a different note, I just used the Super Tool to fix a child's glow worm toy.  Almost seems like overkill!

I didn't mean to confuse anyone. I only threw that "v1" in there to specify its the original. Since I don't think they referred to it as the ST100.

Some interesting conversations happen while perusing MTs at local stores. When I got that Wave, young sales lady flipped out her CX Freestyle is it? Bigger one of them youthful MTs anyways, she loved it an was proud to point out how she started the craze of carrying MT amongst her buds.

Ha yeah, we're expecting a baby boy in a couple months.  So we're moving our girls into a new room (which needs painting/decorating) and making the nursery into a boy nursery (more painting/decorating).  So plenty more days like this ahead :)

Used my Surge, my OHT, and a Coworkers OHT to install hoses on 2 new slides. (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/03/2f57a1ba159119d79d47feecd2b12e68.jpg)

Used my Surge and OHT and Wingman to open electrical panels, turn on water, open fences, they saved this setup.

I used the scissors on my Surge to trim my thumb nail, I hit it with a hammer in February and it died, the new nails been growing through and I caught it and ripped the old nail off. I trimmed it up so that I won't catch it again because it was bloody painful!

I also cut a lot of rope into shorter pieces for a T-bar at work.

Not today, but over the weekend I built a kydex press using my Rebar and my CRKT minimalist. My brother laughed at me for not using power tools, but it didn't take much longer than using power tools would have. Not much of a press, just two planks, some foam padding, rubber bands and sit on the whole thing.

Ham pressed by an oversize lawn gnome. Not done yet, so no pictures yet.

How do I explain this?

My Chevrolet 2500HD Duramax has an air intake, and on that air intake there used to be a "silencer" chamber. Pretty much an air trap to hold in some whistle noises from the turbo.

Well I took it off and replaced it with a cap.

Yesterday I noticed some EXTREME power loss. Was taking 45 seconds to get up to 60mph.

Well I opened the hood today to pull a fuse and it was sitting on top of the engine!

So my Wave tightened her back up.

I used the serrated blade on my Rebar to slice off a length of hose for a project at work.  I also used it(pretty much daily now) to essentially break in to our pool area so I could do my rounds.  The Security department has insisted on locking out the keycard locks at closing time, to keep guests out.  But I work overnight and need in to the area all the time.  I figured out that if I stick my pliers in the closed position into the striker, I can force it open in about half a second.

Yesturday, BO Wave and I helped a friend take a part her hot tub to clean.  Unscrewed several screws and lightly pried some stuck parts.  Hose repair was handled by cutting a length off and attaching hose repair kit.  The serrated blade ate thru the hose like nothing. 

I also mended her fence with some wire hanger.  The top section came loose so I cut several length of wire hanger to twist around the top pipe and fencing.  I dont often cut anything with my wire cutters so I was very happy when they worked flawless.

Used my Sidekick to cut up some mackerel for fishing earlier today, it involuntarily became a beater this week :rant:. I had these things in my bag that you're supposed to toss into the fire to change color. And some of it got out of the package and onto my Sidekick which had previously been in like new shape. Well whatever was in the things was pretty damn corrosive and certainly left its mark :facepalm:

Oh well, now the Sidekick is going to be my salt water fishing tool I guess. Kept it in my pocket while we fished out of the kayaks, and I of course ended up in the water multiple times. Nice to have something I can use in less than ideal conditions, not the ideal way for that to happen though.

Used my Wave a lot yesterday while replacing a chandelier at my mom's place. It did great, as always - pliers, wire stripper, bit holder and driver/extender are priceless to me

It was my first chandelier ever btw

So the tornado sirens went off today and the rain started coming down, and I went to check the sump pump, and the switch had slipped off and wasn't working right.  Well luckily the tornadoes missed us by a few miles, but the rain kept coming so I had to fix the sump pump tonight.  Needed my Wave to reach down in the hole and grab the power cord.  Then I got a couple of zip ties down there and used the Wave to pull them tight.  Switch and pump working again, means I can sleep without worrying about a basement flood.

Also, I realize tornado sirens and sump pumps may be foreign to some folks, consider yourselves lucky :) Siren - warning that a tornado has been spotted in the area, head to the basement
Sump pump - pushes water out and away from the basement/foundation

I use my rebar pretty hard at work.  Tonight was no different.  I had to break into storage area that we couldn't find a key to; there was a leak through the ceiling into the area and they asked myself and my shift partner to get in there and fix it.  I used my rebar's medium flat head driver to wedge in between the striker and strike plate to pry the door open.  It worked well.

So... I take it the sump pump runs on electricity? And when it floods, is a power cut likely?   :think:

Used my Sidekick to cut up some mackerel for fishing earlier today, it involuntarily became a beater this week :rant:. I had these things in my bag that you're supposed to toss into the fire to change color. And some of it got out of the package and onto my Sidekick which had previously been in like new shape. Well whatever was in the things was pretty damn corrosive and certainly left its mark :facepalm:

Wow, so I was driving to the airport.  I was about 30 feet from my parking spot and heard a clank and then the Jeep  wouldn't move.  Turns out the yoke to the rear axle broke and the end of the drive shaft was on the ground.

My plane was boarding in 30 minutes and I didn't have really any good options.  So after staring in disbelief for a while, I decided I could put it in 4-wheel drive to get it into a parking spot and fix it when I got back. 

The part where the LM comes in...I had to get the drive shaft off the ground.  Took a metal hanger from my suitcase and used my ST300 to bend it and twist around the drive shaft and off the ground.  I limped the Jeep into the parking spot and got on my plane.

Thanks!  And you're right, I noticed some bad vibrations getting off the highway.  I was hoping I could get to the airport (and back) before something broke, but that was not the case...

The silver lining in all of this, when I got back, the company running the parking lot area said they could cover the tow back to my house, and I was greatly appreciative :)

Nothing so adventurous for me and my Rebar today, although it got me out of similar jams in the past.  I used mine to fix my fridge today, which we woke up to not working after going to the grocery store last night.  Isn't that the way it always works?!

I had an old Chevy truck I drove for over a year with a u joint vibration. It had a huge cross member brace under the driveshaft so other then a little damage to the bottom of the truck there was no worry about it hitting the ground. Finally gave up the goods but seeing how I bought the truck new in 92 and finally sold it before deployment last year I think I got my moneys worth.

Skeletool killed it today! Must be itching to prove itself on its first day back!
I work in the back of Homegoods, a store that sells, well, home goods (from furniture to kitchen to shower curtains to garden things), and the first use was opening boxes (when the mgr. wasn't  about sshh). The second, was the woman next to me needed a screwdriver for something (we unbox and occasionally assemble things) needed a Philips, whip out the skeletool (Philips already affixed of course), boom. Even elicited a "wow this really works well!" And third, I was able to tighten one of the screws up on my motorcycle helmet on the ride home.
Lovely day to be a Leatherman  :D

My Wave came was next to me of course and was used extensively to open my favorite Corona beer, cut limes and watermelons and even to tighten the screws on a quite a bit loosened bathroom shelf in my hotel room, which was not ok and could be easily reported+fixed, but why bother if I can just do it all myself? :) Bit driver/extender was real useful there :multi:

  Had an interview so had to leave the Charge & Climber at home, but wore the Tread. Later went to the store and bought a bottle of Jarritos Mandarin soda on the way out. Instinctively reached for the ReCharge. Gah!  :ahhh

  Unsnapped thew Tread and opened that cool, refreshing bottle of soda for the drive home. That bottle opener is slick!

Used the Super Tool's saw as to test it out the way home from the mailbox.  Cuts quicker than those on SAKs!

It was a busy day for my Wave. We were installing a new siphon in the kitchen + connecting a second room to a cable TV network, so the large screwdriver, wire stripper, but driver/extender and the pliers had lots of stuff to do

Btw today was the first time I have used a saw on my Wave to cut a plastic pipe. It rocks

Used my Wave a lot to cut and install two balcony shelves. What surprised me was that the saw on my LM did so much better than the old Soviet Union one, DeWalt and Craftsman. It just cuts through so fast and accurate! Those DeWalt and Craftsman blades were brand new, I just unpacked them, so I officially state that Wave's saw is remarkable to say the least. And of course bit extender and bit kit were my brilliant teammates on this mission:).

After everything was ready and I cleaned up the mess around I opened a nice bottle of ice cold fresh superb quality Ukrainian beer, so cheers everyone;)

P.S.: I don't have electricity at the balcony cause usually we don't need that, but I did all the job after work, so when it became dark Led Lenser P5 came in real handy

Sure,
There are of course only 3-planes to move in, and there are robots with only x-y-z (3 axis) movements, so called cartesian robots.
Six axis robots however have six axis that it can use to move it´s arm with extreme freedom within the 3-planes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom#/media/File:6DOF_en.jpg
Therefore, it is a challenge to distribute media like compressed air and current to the end of arm tool without compromising the movements or risk that a hose or cable is cut. There can be high risk if for example a vacuum hose brakes in a high acceleration movement and send a metal sheet like a frisbee.
That´s why all cable ties etc. have to be snug and the last preparation is what was in the picture before test run of the robot installation.
Here are the six axis explained:

And here is something fun you can do with it:

(I would never do that)

Sorry for the off topic.

I own a 2009 Chevy Suburban, and have had repeated problems with the rear window defroster wires disconnecting from the glass.  I've soldered them back on, taped them on and glued them on.  So I was working on them again today, and found myself in need of a file to smooth out the connector.  The Rebar on my belt handled the job with ease.  I don't always carry an MT, and have gone for months without one, but resumed carrying the Rebar a couple of days ago.

Its remarkable how much I use my Style PS at the school
pulling stales out of boards
yesterday I tightened two screws on a laptop cart, then used the pliers to straighten out the locking mechanism on the same said cart
pliers to pull a small splinter of metal from a girls birkenstock
scissors to cut loose threads off of clothing and ties

almost every dang day I use this tool.
I love it.

Used my Wave a lot to open and set three new flipcharts at work, so mainly blade and pliers to unscrew some tight binds recently.

Today I've replaced a handle on one of my grandpa's hammers that are now mine with a new one. It was too long for storing in my small instruments case, so I shortened it with a saw and filed it to smoothen the cut
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/03/74df05d3184543ba9b693564dda8849a.jpg)

I wanted to buy a new hammer btw, but the ones I've found at the biggest local hardware store were either too expensive or of questionable quality, or both, so I decided to give this trustworthy one a new life

Needlenose pliers and bit extender helped to assemble a cheap yet really good looking DIY clock and the transparent case it came with.

Upgraded my grandma's old-style radio with longer cable and proper plug, so she could use it with her old Soviet radio outlet. And the receiver itself is actually new, one factory here in Ukraine is still making those to my surprise. Wired radio in the age of 4G and wearable technology. Wow.
Wave helped me to disassemble it, successfully spoiling it's warranty, and to get it assembled again after I've finished soldering process. Also wire cutters and stripper were real handy.

My PST II got a good workout around the house today.  So far, I used the narrow straight edge screw driver to unplug a bottle of Gorilla Glue, and used the pliers to pull a nail out of my wife's nativity display.  I also used the scissors to cut a packet of instant coffee open.  Woohoo domestic life!!   :D

the BO wave has had a great time in the last few days tearing away bits of rubber, undoing hose clamps, and going where my fingers can't in the engine of the truck.

I've got the toolkit not 4 feet away, but when you're already twisted in the engine bay, it's easier to grab the LM out of the pocket than go back for another tool.

Plus it's black, so you can't see the grease, oil, and other crap all over it!

Wife asked me to throw out a 4 ft high fake plant
Tossed into the garbage can, but it took up the whole can
Grabbed a  LM nearby in the garage and proceeded to cut off the wire branches
Half way through the task, I realised I was using a Rev ( I thought it was the Sidekick )
It cut the wire branches easy enough, but it was bit uncomfortable  after about 20 cuts

So, the Rev was quite serviceable, but ergonomics possibly  an issue  with extended wire cutting duties
Picked it up at Home Depot recently, Holiday priced at  $19.88

I would keep reminding my daughter, "see it would've been nice to have your Leatherman right now, you wouldn't have to be waiting for me to do it for you". She has a Micra that she has been carrying but left without it today. Just trying to point out how often you need tools

Drove 7 hours home from Pittsburgh PA, unloaded a smurf load of luggage into my building's lobby, parked the truck and was walking home with my dog, thinking about beer, a shower, beer and sleep, when my wife calls and tells me the door knob came off the front door and she hopes I have pliers with me. We have one deadbolt lock, which we only use when we're away for awhile, that requires the door to be pulled tight against the jamb in order to lock and unlock it. I used my crunch to get a firm grip on the post, which had luckily not fallen out on the inside, and pulled the door hard and unlocked it. I probably could have done the same with non-locking pliers but the crunch just makes it easier :tu:

Actually, this was last night, but...

This weekend, I did the 12K major service on my Triumph Tiger 800.  Valve check, change plugs, change coolant, oil change and changed brake fluid.  I finished everything up and put all the bodywork back on before taking it on a test ride.

25 miles out, I stopped to check for leaks and whatnot and found one bodypanel bolt just barely hanging on.  I guess I forgot to tighten it.  It takes a 5 mm Allen--which I happen to always have in my Leatherman Charge ALX  :D

Problem solved.

I have looked a flat use and got one. I was intrested to test as had to round other side from flat to smooth close operation after blunt nose modding. Flat did perform very well with quite stuck screw on ratchet.

Old ratchet did not make ratching sound and did not function very well anymore. It is model you could open so did open and oil inside. Now it is working great again.

As luck would have it my work kit is at home upstairs and pliers were just what I needed. Happy wife happy life.

Was moving and remembered I needed to swap out my Honeywell WiFi thermostat for the regular unit. Had moved all my tools and only had my Skeletool with me...so, it got the call!

Also had to swap my dryer cord back to a 3 wire for this older rental. Grabbed my PST since it was close. No pic though, sorry!

When we move into the house we're having built, in about 7 months, I'll have to swap it back out!  Lol

We are in the process of repainting the walls and ceiling of the ground floor in my house, and today my new Skeletool saw a ton of use.  I pretty much used it to remove all the (painted over) outlet covers in the living room and hallway.  Some phillips screws, some flathead, all covers adhered to the wall with paint thanks to my former renter, so the knife blade was used to slice them away from the wall.  I even had to use the pliers to undo a really tight co-ax connection.  Pretty good break in for a new tool.

This one's a good one: On the way back from a friend's place last night at about 10pm, and we stop for a sheep on the road. After waiting around for a few minutes and watching the three other cars nearly swerve off the road because of it, we decided we had to stay around and get it at least over a fence. So we give the local cops a call, it is only a small town so they are the obvious choice for a runaway sheep. Half an hour later they rock up, and we spend another 20 min trying to corner the crazed sheep, before we can drag it through a nearby gate. The cops leave and we go to head home after nearly an hour of waiting around, but the battery had died from having the lights on all that time. By this point its past 11, so we wake up a friend in the nearest town to jump start the car. That takes another 15 minutes, and then it turns out the lever to open the bonnet has broken off again. Luckily I was able to dismantle it and pull the cable through with my wave, we got the bonnet open, the car going and finally went home.

One thing that was weird was how eerie it is to be by a country highway with no light late at night. With the stars and the silence, you could easily imagine you were in the outback, but every 5-10 minutes a car would come flying past inches from us at 100k

You had nothing to fear.  It's not as though you were going to get hacked up by a guy in a hockey mask with a machete.  Unless of course you or your mate happened to be a blond in a tight fitting, sky-blue, baby-doll nighty.  If you were I'd rather not hear about it.

My Camo Blast was tight on one handle, with the siscors, can opener, and Philiips screw driver impossible to be pulled out normally. A pair of Skeletool CX and Juice SC2 came to the rescue. I found the small, thin pliers on these two perfect to hold on to the knurled screws. Half a turn was enough to solve the problem.

You can only apply so much pressure on these pliers, so the knurled screws are safe.

I replaced the female end of the hose last week and today I replaced the male end.I used my ever trusty Leatherman Wave to accomplish this minor repair.The serrated blade worked well to cut the old hose in preparation for the installation of the of the male mender device.I then relied upon the flat blade screwdriver to attach the collar that holds the new part in place.

A job well done Leatherman.

The Wave came to use frequently today. I was at home with my 2 year old son and after lunch I decided to go to my parents for the afternoon. My wife went to work and would return in the evening. So I went to my ma and pa and drink a coffee, eat a cake and have beer.

But I was wrong. Both almost have some age. They were doing yard work and some gardening. So we (me & my son) were put to work as we arrived. LOL!

It was a great afternoon. The screwdriver came in handy as did the serrated edge and the pliers as well.

The caplifter finally opened a beer.  :cheers:

Didn't need any other tools.

Also I used it to adjust the chain tension on my little Kawasaki 100 - mainly to see if I could.

The Signal's blade and hammer were used a bit today, and the Supertool's phillips was used extensively in assembling a TV stand.  Also used its file to file down a section to allow another part to fit.

Almost, and I really mean almost used my ST300 straight blade draw and quarter a customer who provided me a test access card that was no longer active.
I wasted 2 hours Tuesday and almost that amount of time today verifying the repair work completed splicing cables.
After being allowed to review the access control computer did I find that the card was being read, but access denied because it was expired.   Oh so close...

Yes, at least 4 hours additional associated to wiring splice work.   The quote was not prepared to account for the issue that all cables for the location passed through the gate cabinet scheduled for replacement. Some satisfaction.

ST 300 saved the day yesterday at first hour, we used it to grab the door's key (maintenance and tool warehouse is hard to open sometimes) and twist it applying torque until it turned

Twisted the key, that needs to be replaced, but we were able to enter the warehouse and work all day long

Got my nephew a new pair of Nike basketball-style classic shoes for him to throw hoops at home, since the boy is destroying his running shoes on the driveway. The last metal lace rings on each shoe rattled, for they were not being used. The metal was quite soft. I used a Raptor to cut the rings open, then used the needle nose pliers on the Surge to straighten the rings and pulled them out.

Happy nephew. Hopefully the shoes will improve his games.  :tu:

So the god damned flipchart paper sets :)) they always have ALL their holes drilled in the wrong spots so they won't fit any flipchart I met so far. Always have to find a way to make proper holes. Tried to use Micra for that but it was kinda dangerous without blade locks, so I switched to Wave and I guess I will always use it for that matter since today

PST II:

Scissors, cutting a clam pack holding some air hose fittings.   Were also used to cut a plastic strap tie.   Beveling the scissor arm really makes it better.  In a way, with that fix, I can say they're about as good as Victorinox scissors.   

Pliers--attaching a quick connect fitting to a cheap tire inflator (both included in the same set), which did not work.   I finally found the 40 year old "good" tire inflator, and my grandfather and I fitted it with a Crescent wrench and a pair of Channellocks.

Handle, English ruler. To measure the width of a post, to drill holes with my Vic Soldier's awl in a 55 gallon barrel, as my grandfather wanted those holes be the width of the post apart.  It turned out to be the exact width of the PST II's handle.

I used my OG Supertool to fix a door at work that was stuck.  It's a crash bar style exterior door, and while locking up tonight I noticed that I couldn't turn the key to release the crash bar.  I used the phillips on my ST to open up the bar and see what was wrong.  Nothing out of sorts, but the hook that the key moves in and out of the lock loop on the bar was stuck fast.  I pulled out the medium flat head on the ST, and pried hard against the hook.  It popped free after some effort.  I don't think a smaller Leatherman would have worked, I was sure I was going to break the one I was using after trying a few times, but it worked out all right.

Used the original leatherman wave to use the metal saw. I did this original project like loooong ago but, I wanted to do some mods.. What you see are your typical bic pens three normal and one clicker, but what did I do? I took knitting needles and cut them to diff sizes, think of it, a typical bic but rather then plastic but in aluminum..  Not to much work, just cut to size, then sand the plastic ends to fit, not much..

  Used the small mini-flathead screwbit to replace the watchband & Casio adapters on the new Casio 3 Sensor watch. Didn't want to wait till I got home cause the new band is MUCH wider. :D

  Surprisingly the mini-screwdriver did GREAT! The watch pint tool that Lowtech send me went on walkabout. I must of put it someplace I wouldn't lose it, but I swore had used it a while back for the other watch. /shrug

  The fella on Etsy uses a small o-ring as a spacer. If I could only find another set to put on the other side of the watch pins I'd have the adapters more snug.

    Wonder if I accidentally left my Surge on the rail road tracks, and it got run over, if Leatherman would take pity on me and replace it with one of the newer ones? :rofl: Could say I was working on a rail car when it slipped out. Oh noes!  :P >:D

  Used Juice KF4's & Awl to install a stampede string into the new Akubra Plainsman. Pliers to push the cotter pins in through the sweatband, followed with the awl to open and spread apart the cotter pins so they could be bent across the seam.  :D
  Now new hat has a chin strap to combat the Idaho/Oregon winds!

  Also added a hat pin that's been on every hat I've worn since the late 80's. A silver Eagle that was handcrafted by a Native American, with etching on the inside: All Land, All Life. Used the KF4's pliers to align the pin in the back to the pre-punched hole, then the Awl to flip the clasp up and over the hat material to lock the hat pin in place.  :D

  Now to make an Emu feather hatband adornment.

  I like the Juice KF4 in that it's light enough to do most hobby & computer work, and the awl lies flat in an lazy L shape which worked great for flipping the hat pin clasp.  :D

  Will show the handcrafted hat pin even though it has nothing to do with Leatherman tools.  :P

I was looking through stuff to sell and found my Crater c33Tx, which I never much cared for and has therefore sat in a box for years. I thought it was a pity that the drivers are so ergonomic to use (being that the whole thing feels much more like a screwdriver than most MTs) but the knife is bad: the action is horrible, the centering is so off it rubs the carabiner, and the lock was over-traveling. I decided to sit down and take the thing apart to see if I could clean it up. The pivot spins, so a T6 bit is required to take off the clip first. Then two T8 bits to undo the pivot. I stopped there because I didn't want to deal with the backspring behind the drivers. I slid the top scale out of the way, and pushed the pivot pin down to liner lock. I cleaned and applied light Victorinox oil to the washers, blade, and launcher piece. Put it all back together, tightened everything appropriately, and the action was much improved. Some pivot adjustments later, and the centering was improved and the lockup was pushed back to about 80% with no play at all. This is the first time I've ever disassembled one of my knives, so I was very proud that it worked out! No longer is a flick required to get the blade out, the launcher thingy does the job easily. Suffice to say, this is going back in my pocket now, and not to auction.

I am a man down today so helped out in the workshop this morning. I had cut some double sided adhesive cushion strip tape to stick some panel labels onto a control panel in the workshop and got distracted while cleaning the sticky residue it left behind on the blade. Thankfully its not deep but it bled well. That'll look really good in the accident book today. Yes I am a numpty and everyone is making sure I know it.  I will now stay in my office the rest of the day so I can't hurt myself  >:(

I carried the new-style Surge today, to help my parents out with a cleaning the door awning. Ended up using the large flat head screw driver as a scrapper to get rid of some black sticky stuffs on the fabric (it has not gotten a proper cleaning for about 5 years!).

First time carrying the Surge on the belt though. Dang thing is uncomfortable on the side. How do you guys carry yours? I ended up having it on the back position, just to not feel unnatural. Bet I looked like a fat ninja with a little dagger  :D

My rear-view mirror has been wobbly for some time so I investigated with the Surge:
(http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd338/syncop8r/Multitools/Surge/Fixing%20rear-view%20mirror/20160702_144629.jpg) (http://s529.photobucket.com/user/syncop8r/media/Multitools/Surge/Fixing%20rear-view%20mirror/20160702_144629.jpg.html)

It's secured by a single screw:
(http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd338/syncop8r/Multitools/Surge/Fixing%20rear-view%20mirror/20160702_144849.jpg) (http://s529.photobucket.com/user/syncop8r/media/Multitools/Surge/Fixing%20rear-view%20mirror/20160702_144849.jpg.html)

Something inside had disintegrated:
(http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd338/syncop8r/Multitools/Surge/Fixing%20rear-view%20mirror/20160702_145047.jpg) (http://s529.photobucket.com/user/syncop8r/media/Multitools/Surge/Fixing%20rear-view%20mirror/20160702_145047.jpg.html)

I cleaned it out and reassembled. It doesn't tighten fully but it's a lot better than it was. I suspect the disintegrated thing may have been some sort of washer or gasket to help make it tight.  :think:

While busy working today a scumbag tried to break into our work van, sadly we were about a hundred meters away so he had a good head start when he saw me running towards him.
Sadly I didn't find him but I did find his expensive looking hoody, which I cut in half with my super tools Se blade then put it back where he had left it .oh and I watered it for him too! Haha so that might make him think twice in the future.

I used the ST300 for sewing heavy grade nylon to modify a machete scabbard to fit a different machete than it came with, and while I had the sewing kit out I also made a leather key fob. Even though I was mostly using the ST300 to push the needle through one side of these materials and pull it out the other, my fingers are still sore.  I was so engrossed in the task that I neglected to take pictures for the super tool challenge.

One of the suicide doors on my extended cab f150 would not open, bad cable was most likely culprit.

So out came the ST300 I'm carrying every day for this month's challenge. But with no bit driver, I couldn't do much.

So out came the Wave.  I had ground down an old bit driver to fit in the bit holder. It got lots of use. Only a pic or two as I was just too busy to take pics.

Several minutes and a few wire ties later, the door works again...

While not me exactly, my BO Wave did get used today... LOL

My 18yr old son's girlfriend decided his scraggly facial hair needed work. So she borrowed my Wave and used the scissors to do some trimming!  Hahahahaha!!!!

It'll need a good cleaning when she's done!!!!!  LOL

Got back from playing with the drone, was happily editing the footage and BOOM. Blue screen of death and messages about talking to dealers  >:(


Fortunately I have backups, but they are on a network device that my backup software's recovery disk can't access - grrr. So I've used my Charge to get into my PC to connect a disk with a backup image on it. I should really be sleeping!


Restore software is currently checking the backup image and taking a long time about it :

No pics, but used my ST300 to fix a toilet. The lever on the handle broke off. So I used the awl to bore a hole and run a screw thru the end of the lever and into the handle.

Then used pliers to remove the chain to the flapper and rework it. Now toilet flushes like a dream!!

Been pulling serious long days getting stuff and setting up for a very complicated wedding. My long time girlfriend's sister is getting married so guess who gets to do all the running around and heavy lifting. Used both my st300 and charge all day for all sorts of stuff! No time for pics though :( tonight was the rehearsal dinner at a brewery, which everyone was invited to so that was some work. Tomorrow is the wedding at a college campus chapel and a reception at the local art museum, all of which we have had to and still have to set up. Then the next day we give girlfriends extended family tours of the house that we have half moved. Sorry for the off topic post! Been away from the forum all day so I had to say something! Did use the LMs countless times today though (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160730/be38ed75e752007326a618dd5b09ab60.jpg)

I used the Philips head on my C33t on Friday to disassemble a co workers keyboard so he could clean it. I've never seen so many tiny screws in my life!

Yesterday a pipe outside of our house that empties out what the sump pump in the basement was out of line so I used the Crunch to pull some zipties tight through the broken strap that originally held it in place. I also used the blade to bore out one of the holes bigger so that the ziptie would go through it. Mrs. TJ was watching since she likes to see mcguyver in action. :D

The surge came out to play to remove the packaging on our new office water cooler, that is also a water boiler.  It was apparently ordered so the people at our end of the office block don't have to walk all the way to the other end where the kitchen is to make hot drinks.

Though there was a  :facepalm: moment when I asked where they would wash their mugs up if they now use this to save the long walk. It gave me a chuckle  :D

I had to scratch off Bluetak (the 3M version) that was holding a Porsche 356 miniature replica, drived by Scroodge McDuck (I'm nit kidding). It was installed under my car's windshield for 12-13 years, so part of the material was completely hardened and stuck as a white poweder. I didn't want to scratch the car's plastic. So, after removing the excess with PocketWrench II, the only plastic "scratcher" I found in my EDC was the bottom edge of a Leatherman bit kit holder! It worked perfectly. The car is as good as new. If you need to scratch something delicate and sensitive, I recommend it, over any steel tool you may have.

I had to track down why my dryer wasn't hearing up this morning. Turned out to be a thermal cutout fuse I had replaced some time ago.  I suspect it was an inferior (or defective) replacement and the dryer ran almost non stop yesterday getting laundry caught up...me and my 2 boys take at least 2 showers a day, plus whatever my wife wears...lots of laundry and I hadn't done any for a few days!

Anyhoo....I needed a few Leatherman boys to get the job done.  The medium flat blade on the 300 EOD was used to release the clips holding the front panel on the dryer...the Wave didn't have anything to reach that far!

After that the Wave and my homemade 1/4" bit holder was used to remove and replace all the screws.

To scare the crap out of Milo, my Yorkshire Terrier. I dropped my Surge (in it's leather sheath) on the hearth stone in front of my fire this morning and he was asleep in the chair next to it.   He wasn't impressed at all, but enjoyed the few treats I gave him for scaring him.

I was trying to pick up too many things at once and that one slipped. The irony is I'm not carry the surge so put it back anyway, I'm going with the rebar and pioneer to get used to not having the surge on me, ready for the September challenge.  I feel kind of naked without the surge on my belt.  Though it's nice knowing I have one in my car should I need it's awesomeness  :D

First use of rebar with bit extension today, to change the batteries in my wireless mouse at work. I don't like the retention of the bit adapter on the philips driver of the rebar.  I'm thinking a mod in the future and add the bit exchanger from a wave/surge.

I wonder if Loki has any in stock  :think:

If there is anything like here, they run them till they fail. Which I find surprising considering they are hauling a couple of hundred tons of slag or pig iron around at a time. Needless to say they get right of way everywhere

The adapter is one I bought for the Juice XE6 but I'm guessing they are the same ones for the rebar.

I've got the saw/file adapter off a surge coming from Loki to see if I can mod it to fit and lock in a rebar. If I can get it in I can bin the saw and make more room for other mods.

First use of rebar with bit extension today, to change the batteries in my wireless mouse at work. I don't like the retention of the bit adapter on the philips driver of the rebar.  I'm thinking a mod in the future and add the bit exchanger from a wave/surge.

I wonder if Loki has any in stock  :think:

Cutting an orange for lunch.

Is that a huge brake disc you're using as a table there?
Yes. It is.

It's looking a bit rough, it could do with a skim.

Or you could see if you can dress the surface with your wave file  :rofl:
Zoom in and look at the cracks. Need some body filler.

I noticed them, but thought there's life in it yet  :D

If there is anything like here, they run them till they fail. Which I find surprising considering they are hauling a couple of hundred tons of slag or pig iron around at a time. Needless to say they get right of way everywhere
Spot on. This mine site I work for now is 90% Autonomous. In other words All their haul-trucks has got NO drivers. (290t or 320 short ton.)
 Its very hard on the brakes. If there is a emergency or safety breach or any problem all trucks on site gets shut down by the main control point or the radars around the trucks. That is an immediate dead stop. The disks spin at plus minus 24000 rpm. Not good for disk and pad to stop that quick.
We do brakes every day. Did I mention that we do brakes everyday?
Yes that disk is still new. Will post a picture of a not so new one later if you guys want to see "hairline cracks". And lots of them. We change them normally when it gets too thin or a slit from top to bottom.

Yes it's quite big. And bloody heavy.

Our seedless eating grapes are now ripe so I used my poor abused Juice to cut some for eating:

The scissors are like a razor so cutting these from the vine is very easy.  A note aside, the grapes are about 2 weeks early this year.

Used the knifeless rebar (with a pioneer for the knife part) to fit a new plug onto our office henry the hoover.

The one fitted was damaged somehow  :whistle:

so I replaced it with a new one so I could vacuum my office floor now the cleaners don't do it (and seeing as made the mess)

As a side note, 800 hermesetas sweetners certainly spread out well when knocked over :facepalm:

Used the Mini Tool for a couple things today:

My old Wiss USA scissors that have been in my family since my great grandmother were a bit tight, so I used the big driver on the end of the file to adjust them.

My grandparents had propane delivered today, and I had to remove the tamperproofing we had to put on the fence (ever since the lunatic my father married's German Shepherd/hound cross pulled my Boston Terrier through a fence, we've had to tamperproof most of the gates to prevent anything from getting through gaps between the closed gates), which on that gate, is two crossed rubber tie-downs.  I'd got them off with no trouble to let the truck driver through with the hose, but I had to get a little more grip with the Mini's pliers to get them back on.

I have a strong attachment to my Leatherman tools even though they get little use.  One reason is that I am retired and have ready access to an abundance of tools.  Another reason is that my tool requirements have diminished significantly and the many Leatherman multi-tools that I own remind me of being all dressed up with no place to go.  :)

The frequent small daily tasks such as package opening is handled by my Victorinox Explorer.  Today, I received a Thunderbird butane insert for a Zippo lighter that I am planning to use to seal paracord (I'm a non-smoker).  I needed to adjust the flame but never got around to adding a small screw driver cork screw attachment.  Happily, the small screw driver on my LM Orange Juice S2 was perfect for this task.

Some of us may have experienced that people around us do not believe we acquire our MTs for useful purposes, perhaps due to the excessive dedication and care we gave to them -- many of us fail to dissimulate that a MT is indeed, our preferred toy as well -- until we do solve some basic task with one of these tools right in front of their eyes. Today, one of the most simple features demonstrated its capability and its usefulness, being far away from home and when no other dedicated tool was available.

To cut a stick. We were outdoors walking (untypical, but for job reasons)  someone wanted a stick, the surroundings were plenty of this species (Chusquea culeou) of bamboo.

Used my Skeletool to open a Mexican Coke I had with my lunch. That's all that it did today. Still impressed a co-worker with how fast I had it out and my Coke was open haha. Little did he know I had a Vic in my picket as well.

Bad drive I think, I have to adapt it SATA to USB via an adapter to test. They said it was making a noise, so probably non recoverable. Just going to replace the PC, about 5 + years old.

Nice to have my wave with me today, I was asked to look at the computer and asked if they had a screwdriver, NO, so I said wait a minute I think I have a multi tool in my jacket pocket from the weekend. 4 screws and the case side and drive was out, I was a hero!

Today my little girl wanted to drive her bike. I was wearing trousers and didn't want something bulky  on my pockets so I took the Juice S2. A few minutes later, I realized that she was ready to change her training wheels to a higher position.

Juices are great for those cases where you can't carry a large MT. We must apply criteria in order to know if this compact device will be adequate for the task but they are stronger than what their size seems to project.

I disassembled a Wave to help with disassembling a first production run Charge Ti, and another FPR Wave. Both of the FPR tools have problems: Charge with broken plier stopping tab, Wave with broken scissor tab. I did not want to send both in. Thinking that LM likely give me an AL to replace the Ti, I moved the broken scissors from the Wave to the Charge. I used the female screw from the first Wave to help with aligning the screw thru the handle and pliers. It worked like a charm. I may consider selling parts of the first Wave, and keep the screws as tools.

On another note, LM had tighter tolerance and better fit and finish on these FPR tools. It took me a good while to disassemble them. Also, paying a little more for quality bits paid off. I got the 5-star bits made by Wera from Micro-Tools. The fit was perfect. I did not heat up the locktite, just muscled it thru. The bits held up well, without rounding off, while the screws came off undamaged. Pretty good German quality stuffs.

Yesterday, my OG Surge assisted in changing the water pump in an old Jeep. Unscrewing worm-drive clamps, scraping stuff, sponsoring package of new parts, pinching and testing the thermostatic fan-clutch spring, popping the hood through the grill because the lever only works when it wants to...all in sunny, near 90 degree Fahrenheit.

Then it was "Miller Time."

Used my LM Crunch to tackle a rusted and broken bolt on the AC rooftop unit that caused a horrible rattling noise. The Crunch is my least used LM and still looks like new, but when you need locking pliers not much else will do.
In the spirit of "one hand for your tool, one hand for yourself" there was no more hand for the camera, so no picture of the action.

Made use of the old PST ll to replace my OG Surge bit retention spring. Yep. The old, dedicated little screwdriver on that so-called "outdated" tool  has not yet failed nor gotten lost, and guided and set the new spring into place so the newer fangled tool could be fully useful again.

Nothing like dedicated drivers. Still really like the Surge, though. The repair/replace seems very effective. Held the tool up by the bit alone when I was done.

Removed the CUP fan and heat sink assembly from a motherboard today, and swapped those known good units into a machine with bad ones. Well, the fan had gone bad, anyway...the heatsink is just what it is.

No pics as I was busy working but let's just say that the dedicated Philips had better reach around the casing than the wide-bit Surge.

However , I did cut some tape, cardboard, and cordage with the Surge today as well and it is also a great tool.

Last few days I've been using the players including those on PST ll, to indent the layer channels of my 30 year old Officier Suisse Super Tinker. It took a fall or two some years ago and chipped the scales off and dented the channels so some tools couldn't be opened.

I received a new one as a gift and this one went into a drawer. Figured I'd see what could be done.

My son's eyeglasses needed fixing so my wife asked for micro screwdriver. I initially gave her my SwissChamp's but it's corkscrew screwdriver is the flat type, not the star type. Fail. So I whipped out my Charge TTi and she was able to do the task effortlessly.

Charge - 1, SwissChamp - 0

Yesterday evening I used my PST to open a package from Amazon. As you can see, my trusty Beagle "Scout" (both the Thundah, and the Beagle, in ThundahBeagle) was on-hand to inspect the contents.

While I have purchased a number of new Leatherman tools, they were all gifts for others. Every one I have owned has been pre-owned. This is my first new Leatherman I have purchased for myself. The Rebar.

Um, that's eight.

Doing some debris removal from Hurricane Irma (finally removed the downed tree from my yard) and I used my Sidekick to remove a couple of dozen sticker burrs from my socks and shoe laces. It was a lot better than pricking my fingers on the damn things which are very sharp, and the spring assisted pliers made easy work of it.

Yes, it’s a led light kit, you can get them online or at a store, but that’s just the led's, I got mine at amazon, it has a little control box to control the brightness. As for that arch, it’s a cheap $2 curtain rod kit, that are like _|—-|_ but are adjustable, I calculated how long it would have to be in order to make the arch for what size table then took a couple small plastic pieces and riveted the two of them together then bent it, luckily there a piece playground equipment just the size I was looking for, so I bent it around that, put the lighting on, they have a sticky tape backside, they put it on my workstation, plugged it in and turned it on.
   The unique thing is how it works, I work on models, and need good light, and with a normal light kinda like the one you can see in the background, yeah it’s a mag light, but when you start moving your hands around they start to make shadows, so you end up having to move things around including your head to try to see, being an arch, it transmits light form every angle, no shadows even if you put your hand directly above the piece of work! When I made the light I put the project on here somewhere, look up like led arch light? If any other questions as away,

Used the file on my PS4 to clean up the threads on a sink drain fitting at my wife's office, to replace the P-trap. Old drain fitting had a slow leak, and rusted completed off the sink before they caught it. PS4 cleaned up the threads nicely!

Spent a vacation in Turkey last week and since I love coffee I brought a can of it with me home. When I attempted to open it the handle ring broke and I used pliers to open the can. Wave did great of course, yet the coffee might be way better . Sorry, forgot to take any pics

Needed to remove the bottom panel on my wife's laptop (internal battery wasn't working).    Most of the screws were torx 6, but one tiny one in the centre of the case was much smaller --- so to the rescue comes my modded Juice with the small bit cross-head driver.

Re-seated the connectors from the battery and it works again.  Job done.    :woohoo:

Fixed a hairdryer recently and used Wave a bit. Large flathead as a pry bar while opening it and then the pliers to... catch and remove the dust Could not use a bit kit since this hairdryer has one of those more rarely used screws with two dots on top. Anyhow, it works much better now.

P.S.: sorry, only have a picture of a fan without a cover so I’d remember what it should look like in the end if I forget (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171020/ca3761495c54798a3be8752b4cfca921.jpg)

And today I’ve disassembled my Raspberry Pi setup in order to replace a real-time clock battery. Used Wave’s standard bit with an extender to unscrew the extension board and then the smallest screwdriver on Micra to pull the battery because I forgot about an eyeglass screwdriver in Wave

Me again . Had some decent time outdoors and used my Wave of course.

First I used it to cut off a small piece of wood
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171022/02e948e7ea7f0be227d952f0f84aa74e.jpg)

Then engaged a knife to get some shavings
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171022/a55648fecb80d08368485837a5cb7c48.jpg)

And start a fire with that, but I had no luck - the wood was a bit wet, so I added some really dry oiled shavings from Light My Fire and used a lighter to have a fire started .
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171022/4dadb9d1c11408f3291b2de50691b57e.jpg)

And while my fire grew I decided to adjust a break handle on the bicycle I rented for today. It had a hex screw and I had a bit kit, so it was a pretty easy game.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171022/573c95bd66b3a4223eaad47e269eb0c0.jpg)
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171022/09614a5d426d3be8a635dd570af56951.jpg)

Being done with that I finally could just sit back and have a cup of hot herbal tea with honey

The only way when you need to find out what fuse that outlet is on, without being able to shut every fuse off one by one (like when there are servers in the building)
Did it myself, twice in 7 years... but with isolated pliers instead of a stainless tool...

Used the awl of my Rebar today to help replace a door latch assembly on my truck. Control rods that bridge the gap between interior door handle and the latch, or exterior door handle and the latch...these rods are held in place by thin clips that slide over the tab and ends of the rods. They had to be removed before the latch would come free.

In the pics, the clip in the palm of my hand slides over the tab that the awl is pointed to. Then the blue end of the rod is forced through the hole in the tab, also through the clip. Easy to assemble back up,  but it was the toughest, most fiddly part of the job to undo in the first place.

During the process I also used Rebar to remove/ replace the odd Philips screw, and to help pull the nylon tabs that held the electrical harness in place.

The door now closes as it should instead of leaving a quarter inch gap that rattled over every bump and allowed wind and rain in. Back to some semblance of normalcy, althoughthough a 24 year old K1500 Blazer Silverado always presents me with something else to work on.

The heat is not working. That may be the next project before this New England winter.

Knock on wood but although it needs some work, it starts right up and runs as well as my girl's Nissan Murano.

She may not look like much, but, she's got it where it counts.

Fixed my elderly neighbours tap this morning. She's Devonian and selectively deaf and i'm Jockanese (Scottish), so Mrs Fuzzbucket acted as interpreter.

Now, the PST can't take full credit for the work carried out, but it did take out the little fiddly screw at the top and did all the necessary poking about... with ease i might add!

Used Wave again today to cut a 2mm stranded wire and attach into a metal stick in the ground in order to get my electric outlet grounded again and get rid of hiss and noise while especially playing an electric guitar with single coils. Cut the wire really carefully at first,  but I quickly realized that Wave will accomplish that mission with pride . Then used bit driver to tighten a screw. Will add pics a bit later so you’d have a better idea.

P.S.: now my American Standard Tele sounds bloody amazing again being played through my Mesa/Boogie F30 amp

Busy day for my Wave - screwing, stripping, cutting and almost anything you can imagine while rewiring my Tele. Traditionally there is one volume and one tone control on a Telecaster. Kinda cool, but I never really use the tone, however I’d love to have two separate volume controls for each of the pickups. Now I have just that (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171030/aad5a55abfdeaf3f22e0b89e8f0aed17.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171030/7e7aebfdd6597ba0bf34a0c44b9e5e24.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171030/e54e265bcdd4ca9df52b2436759db13a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171030/bbe0f6b1a9ddc50aa6bfea4c3d85befe.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171030/c5933a8382e645baf18ca4fdf44ac029.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171030/b74f4d941ed6a57f89dadf439c564db8.jpg)

P.S.: I love my Wave and the bit kit + extender. A single tool allows me to do anything I want anywhere anytime. I also carry my Vic Forester, but honestly only use it to slice bread and fruits. It has no locking tools I need and I find it really dumb and that’s why I prefer Wave for any non-food related tasks.

long time not posting, i was quite busy, we move in a new house, and a lot of work was needed.

All my leatherman have been used during this summer, mostly my st 300 as it was the first tool i grab with me. mainly the blade (what a beast) and the flat screwdrivers see action.
The surge and the wave were mainly used during electrical work.
And i really beginning to love the wingman: the package opener is a beauty to remove silicon joint in bathroom, is save a lot of time!

Having a lot of multitool is usefull, i just let them on the floor and there was always a multi near me wherever i was in the house.
Even my style ps was used for beer openning (i was to lazy to grab the bottle opener as it is an inside tool on the other leatherman) and nail cleaning.

The only drawback is i don't find back my cs4...

Our cleaner is off this week and she has locked the plastic key thing to the hand wash soap dispensers in the toilet are away somewhere. It turns out the file on a ST300 is the perfect size to open it. It doesn't have the slight bend in it that the key has, so there is a slight abrasion mark in the slot now, but it works.

We must have quite a few walkers instead of washers in my building. As I was changing it someone came in and said 'oh good, thats been empty since yesterday afternoon'  :facepalm:

Our cleaner is off this week and she has locked the plastic key thing to the hand wash soap dispensers in the toilet are away somewhere. It turns out the file on a ST300 is the perfect size to open it. It doesn't have the slight bend in it that the key has, so there is a slight abrasion mark in the slot now, but it works.

We must have quite a few walkers instead of washers in my building. As I was changing it someone came in and said 'oh good, thats been empty since yesterday afternoon'  :facepalm:
Water removes 99.99% of germs anyway.

Took my wife out for coffee and some book store time last night.  She didn't have her Classic on her, but I had the handy PSTII with its scissors to cut out a couple coupons she had with her.

Later I used it to remove a deer tick that was just beginning to burrow its way into my leg.

My original version Surge was used in removing and replacing hose clamps while removing the intake manifold on my lady's Nissan Murano today. The idiocy of that is the fact that in order to simply change the spark plugs - the rear 3 anyhow - the intake manifold must first be removed. Nuts.

3 hour job on the Murano is about a half hour job on my big Blazer Silverado. I think they HAD to make spark plugs that last 100 thousand miles, because they knew they were going to be hiding them

I wouldn't advise you look at them while eating, drinking or standing. Not too close to bedtime either. Grab a six(ty) pack and some horse tranquilisers for when you're finished looking at them. And then never speak of this again.

Late entry for yesterday - couldn't find the correct topics so fast...

Following a minor washbasin drain plug lift (operation, reduction in ability of) alert in the bathroom, the picture below shows the Supertool 300 VX just after performing powerful, determined and decisive action on a stubborn drain plug lift control rod connector screw :D.

Not in the picture, the subsequent powerful twisting action on the washbasin drain clamping sleeve using the plier heads inside some available and handy orifice on said sleeve, following the discovery that said sleeve had in fact been loose enough to impair the sealing function of the drain gasket, resulting in minor flooding.

The Supertool was carried on the subsequent afternoon stroll by way of commendation and gratitude for services rendered..

Going on a business trip again and came to the office in order to pick some stuff and realized that the charger I usually carry on such trips makes weird noises. It turned out to be the cooling fan. Disassembled, sprayed with wd40 and left to get worked in for a while using a breadbord and a usb power bank as a power source.
Used Micra and Wave to accomplish this but at some point had to pick a long screwdriver since Micra couldn’t quite reach that deep.

OMG  :rant:
I hate when I see they've put the TV (with cable entry behind) so close to the wall. When a hotel, or any place whatsoever, has that kind of smurfed TV mounting they immediately lose a star on my list.  :twak:

Totally agree

Not today but yesterday. Used the (modded in) bit driver on the Rebar VX in the pic below to reinsert and tighten a screw which had fallen out of our bathroom towel holder. No pics of the action itself, alas, had no phone on me.

Helped a close friend of mine service a Zippo lighter I gave her a while ago. So she complained that it won’t light up the way it did and should and I told her to bring it the next time we’ll meet. She did today and in order to give a lighter a new life I bought a new wick and a small pack of cottonwool. She also brought a new flint, so we were all set and while drinking tea at the cafe I engaged my Wave, disassembled a lighter, replaced everything I wanted to and assembled it back. Should be just fine now.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171217/e4fd1c52036d2e3456fe994e7654f48f.jpg)

Used pliers to remove old wick and cottonwool and then used a large flathead to push in the new cottonwool, unscrew the flint tube and align the wick. Love the Wave, man, and now my friend does too .

P.S.: we had a bunch of remaining cottonwool and were about to throw it away, but then this guy sitting not far from us drops and breaks his glass and he cuts himself, so he asks the bartender if he has medical alcohol and cottonwool. Bartender has neither but he’s got spirits and we surprisingly come up with a cottonwool, so it has all turned out to be pretty good

Used Wave today to strip wires, hold things in place and screw the screws in order to install a lamp next to the front door of our house. Smurfy junkies always steal regular lamps but this time they stole a lamp slot as well. Why would you do that? No idea. And the house is serviced by the government of course, so not much to expect . So I decided to replace it with a lamp I had just laying around for years. It’s useless if stolen, so hopefully it’ll stay there longer . No pics of the process, sorry, maybe gonna add a pic of the lamp working a bit later when it’ll automagically turn on later today .

Missed me, my Tele and my Wave?
Finally made a perfect (well, almost ) telecaster. Got rid of that pesky switch that makes quick neck pickup engagement close to impossible, installed a proper one instead and got rid of the useless tone knob in favor of two independent volume controls. Had to drill three holes in that blank replacement control panel, but now this tele has the best of both fender and gibson worlds

Selling my garage in order to accumulate some $ and buy a new home, so used Pages app on iPad to make a good looking ad, printed it and then used my LMs to shape it right. They are cut to be a bit smaller than the standard A4 sheet so I could wrap them up in a plastic file to protect from moisture and the one that I’ll place on the metal garage door has 3 tiny magnets taped to it from behind
Tried to use Wave’s scissors at first, but it was really stupid not to switch to Micra

It’s actually in Russian, older people in here still mostly speak Russian due to Soviet Union influence and past. However youth tends to speak Ukrainian more and more which is kinda cool, but they are less likely to be able to buy the garage there yet. Marketing stuff you know

I guess now that I read your message it makes sense :) I speak russian and was born in Kharkov, sometimes my Russian grammer is not perfect.  I was wondering why you said Prodam instead of Prodau?  For example, in Englsih people normally say "For Sale" and not "Will Sell" on a sign. 

Oh and by the way nice Wave, its one of my favorite Multitools.

Coming down the hallway a coworker asked if I had a Philips in my handy tool belt (the only thing on my belt is my Surge, bit kit, and extender). I said sure! She needed a light taken down from a work center (I'm a Facility Manager). I take a look and its an Allen head bolt. Sure enough I had a bit in the kit to fit and off it came in a couple minutes. No running back to the tool box!  :D

So on a business trip again and you know those hotels... They’ll give you a key attached to the card that allows you to use electricity while you’re inside. You go out, lock the door with a key and have to take the attached card with you. But I had milk in the fridge that I didn’t want to get sour and I had an iPad that I wanted to get charged while I’m out. Wave to the rescue - unchained the key via a bottle opener and then assembled it back via pliers

Used signal to start a fire on the beach of a river because kids hands were cold from throwing in rocks and playing with the Ivey water.  The signal was the only thing I had on me. Just some dry grass and papery bark and boom. I didn’t even have my phone so unfortunately no pictures.

Come on, guys, make some noise, can’t believe you are using your LMs that rarely

Anyway, I rented a bike yesterday. Tried to ride it as it was for some time but it was well maladjusted. The seat was loose and going lower that I needed after each jump or whatever, the rear light gone loose since it turned out there was no nut on it. Even the kickstand was mounted with a wrong and unstable angle. Wave to the rescue

I was helping my GM move new couches into some of the suites in our Hotel yesterday, and we forgot to grab a doorstop from Housekeeping so I opened my Rebar and wedged the pliers under the door.  Worked perfectly!  I also had to use the phillips to remove the temporary feet from the new sofas so they'd fit through the doors. 

You wouldn't think I'd need a Leatherman as a Sales Director but I use mine all the time here.

I went around the house taking apart doorknobs and lubing them. Also made sure every last screw in my house was properly tightened.

Some knob ended up overtightening this dimmer, bending the tabs of the bracket. Had to take apart the switch, clean it and reassemble. Straightened everything and slapped a new plate on it. Now to address the knob shaft that got sheared off...

Nice, my pics are sideways  :P
Photos I take in portrait mode on my phone often turn sideways at some point, usually on the forum (even if I had rotated them in WIndows' photo viewer before uploading) so what I do now is quickly open them in Paint, rotate then save. A bit of extra faff but has worked so far.

Today was a fun day for the Wave

Pic #1: The drain pipe for the AC unit condensation pan was (once again) clogged. It overflowed into the garage, so I got to break out the ol’ shop vac. Took the AC panel off, drained the water, tried to clear the debris, and slapped it together. No bueno. Attempt 2: repeated the process, filled drain pipe with vinegar, flushed, slapped it together. Success :tu:

Pic #2: While I was waiting for the AC unit to drain, I realized that the water heater’s insulation was fastened with solid copper wire, and the excess wire was plentiful. Trimmed it up, of course.

Pic #3: I haven't really used the can opener wire stripper, so I figured that I would test it out. Not too bad :tu:

Sorry in advance if the pictures are sideways, trying to troubleshoot the problem...

 :think: So i tried correcting the pictures by rotating them to the right, and it posted like that. So then, I modified it to the original pictures, and now on the post they are rotated to the left....  :shrug:

Edit:

 :poh: So I’ve tried rotating the pictures every which way, and nothing’s working. Thinking I might have to post through Tapatalk?...

Needed to change the brake pads on my ‘02 Kawasaki ZRX1200 tonight. Getting the pins that hold the pads in the calipers was good case for my ST300 and Crunch.

You modded it with a paint scraper ?   :D  i really almost never use the big screwdriver on it, it is to fat for most of the screws here. Have already thought a few times to grind it down a bit.

WS, the YL is gonna become XYL... (ham radio language)  :whistle: and due to that, a few days of holliday in a Spa are might gonne be there at the end of october. Carrying a rebar and phone/camera in a sauna or pool wil be almost impossible, so for a day or 5 i have to be very creative to make it thru.

Waves large flathead is awesome size to screw old screws, also it has good to remove paint on corners where regular paint scrapers cant reach.
I havent found much use for elsewhere on that large flathead but using to restoration work its pretty darn good cause old furnitures has large flat head screws and my tools doesnt have so big flatheads besides my MTs

So far my Tests shows that between ST300 and Surge,  ST300 is taking win when using it heavily but when it comes to easiness to use Surge takes win easily. I tested also Wave vs ST300 and OG ST vs ST300. Wave takes win being lightweight and compact to use but when need raw power and toughess ST300 takes win by miles. Somehow between OG ST abd ST300 ST300 seems taking win everywhere except slimness

An acquaintance of mine is starting her senior year in college, and has to rent an apartment outside the dorms. I gift her a 2nd-gen Wave, 4 screw drivers, a set of Allen keys, and a tape measure as a small tool box  :facepalm:. I think that should cover 90% of any small fixing  she may need.

Used the PocketCrunch and the SOG PAD drivers
with the security driver bits to remove the lanyard
ring from the Surge with the security driver bits

This way I can use the pocket clip on both
sides or use the pocket clip and the lanyard ring

Yesterday i used my surge with a fine saw blade to remove a few clamps from an antenna wire to make it a little longer.

Never thought i would need to use my lm , but it was the only tool i had that could do the job without damging the wire too much.

Great job and pics, guys! Missed my Wave while it stayed at home lately. Recently found myself twice in a situation I wish I had it on me but I didn’t and had to deal with a SAK, which is a cool little knife, but it’s just not as comfortable for me. So expect some pics and stories from me and my trusty Wave soon :)

P.S.: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year . Best wishes from Ukraine

Finally bought myself a Lansky Professional Sharpening System, so used Wave to unbox it + the stand for it and then to tighten my Forester in it. Then those got swapped of course. And after being done with sharpening my main EDC I used Micra to put my hands to order. As years roll on I’m yet to find a better nail file than the one on Micra

A friend's rotary can-opener broke, so the Wave was available for duty.  So-to-speak.  Sometimes even the pull-top cans are stubborn, and I've used the pliers to finish pulling the top off.  Multi-tool to the rescue!

It was absolute pandemonium... Well... maybe a slight exaggeration, but I did have to take my shirt off. Anyway, used the Supertool to touch up the axe's bit.

Lots of outdoor work today, fixing the back porch, and opening fertilizer bags. I also used it to replace a missing bolt on my wheel barrow.

Just a quick, simple EDC job.  I replaced the lint-catcher on the washer outlet hose.  Used the Wave's pliers to cinch-up the tie-wrap, and cut-it-off.

I used my Wave Plus to help swap a set of revolver-grips from one-to-the other.  The Hogue grips slide through a screw-swivel  that's attached by bendable tabs, on the revolver-frame.  It's actually a lot easier, than the explanation.  But those Wave needle-nose pliers were just the ticket!  :tu:

Here is what the bottom of gun butt looks like with the swivel attached.  See the tabs, on-the-pins.

(https://i.imgur.com/Rq3tPb3.jpg)

Once the tab is removed from the cross-pin; the VZ grips just snap-on, and are secured by the cross-screw.  These are their 'black cherry' in G10.

The Hogues went back-on my Lew Horton 610.

I used my entire EDC today..surprisingly.

I used Tweezers from the Vic manager (to get out splinter), used my Surge multiple times: to help me pick cherries without damaging them, to undo some knots that were too tight to do with my hands. I used my Opinel #8 to cut up some fruit (damn this thing is razor sharp), used my BIC 4 in 1 to keep track of expenditures on receipts and take notes on future products.

All in all a great day.

Cheers,
H.G.

Silly Ford mondeo requires you to take two screws off and a push stud to get to the headlights bulbs. Pray that they don't blow when travelling far from the main roads.

I used my Wave Plus to help swap a set of revolver-grips from one-to-the other.  The Hogue grips slide through a screw-swivel  that's attached by bendable tabs, on the revolver-frame.  It's actually a lot easier, than the explanation.  But those Wave needle-nose pliers were just the ticket!  :tu:

Here is what the bottom of gun butt looks like with the swivel attached.  See the tabs, on-the-pins.

Once the tab is removed from the cross-pin; the VZ grips just snap-on, and are secured by the cross-screw.  These are their 'black cherry' in G10.

The Hogues went back-on my Lew Horton 610.

In Australia we are limited to 357 caliber (38, 9mm) and under

The neighbour's hedge is growing over into our backyard at a few spots, so dug out the 'ol pruning shears.
Stretched the handle spring, de-rusted, oiled, tightened, sharpened, it with the help of the Surge.
The blade was dull and had a few dents, so I gave it a new edge with the raw side of the file, then finished it off with the diamond side.
The result surprised me...   :ahhh

I needed the multimeter yet one cable broke and i had to resolder it, so here came the P2 for the rescue. Quite happy with the easy axx to the tools, at least for this low force, skilled craftsmanship that i'm doing :)
Kinda late for a reply but it looks like you are stripping the cable with the awl. Did you know that the P2 has a wire stripper build into the tool?

BO ST200 for the rescue! Tightened the nut holding the light, and then taking the plug connecting the light to my hub dynamo apart to find one cable loose. Put it all together and light was on again!

Already putting the Rebar I just got from Barry to work today. When I got it, I immediately swapped from a SOG Pocket Power Plier, and put the sheath on my belt.

Plain edged blade--opening another package that came in the mail with the Rebar.
Serrated blade; cutting the plastic off the package to a case of Gatorade so I could reuse the cardboard flat. Also tore into a new electric toothbrush. I swear, the use of clam pack needs to be added to the Seven Deadly Sins.

For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to carry the wingman rather than my usual blast or rebar. I was asked to remove some screws that were already stripped out. The Phillips portion of the head was entirely stripped, but there was a cutout for a flathead. The driver fit perfectly but I couldn't get enough torque until I flipped a handle to 90°.

I honestly thought I was going to break the tool, but the screws needed to go to fix the internet. Somehow nothing broke and the internet came back after parts were replaced. Very impressed with that thick flathead. I think the rebar would have broken. Needless to say, the wingman is staying around at least for another day.

Been selling all of my musical gear but a few months later decided to keep my American Standard Tele 60th anniversary model. Sometimes I miss the old days and play it, but today I decided to introduce it to my new Signal, that helped with setting up new strings and tightening the screws here and there

Oh, and I forgot to share some user experience. I did use a blade on my Wave to accomplish the same task, which had been upgraded to 154cm and now I was hugely surprised by how much better and more convenient the blade of a Signal creates wood shavings to start a fire. It just slices through with almost zero force added and is a really comfortable in terms of grip.

The toilet seat came loose again. Don't know why this one comes off so much. I'm about ready to break out the Loctite and/or safety wire. Used the medium driver on my Rebar to put it back. Also used the Phillips and the tool fully extended to help fish out the Victorinox Bantam that slipped out of my pocket last week; it had landed under the seat and gotten wedged.

Disassembled, cleaned and lubricated an old door lock at my mom's place today with a Signal. And Wave is so much better in terms of handling screws due to the way the bit holder can be used with a tool being nicely folded. I could have used a Wave, but decided to give Signal a shot. It's usable, yet not quite perfect if you have a choice  :multi:

P.S.: Oh, and I sure did assemble the lock back into place, though forgot to take any pictures of the process  :woohoo:

Used the diamond file on my Rebar (from a Wave) to file down the nub on the inside of the fine screwdriver on my XLT. While this nub is essential on other SAKs that have it, to keep a suitable standoff from the back spring, the XLT has a different back spring as it has 2 short blades on the main side (not the wood saw), and for whatever reason, Victorinox did not leave enough clearance so the tool does not lie completely flat. Quick job to do and it now tucks in nicely. Not quite as flush as my SC, but the hook shields it, so it no longer creates a hot spot. Pics post work. Bit of a waffle, but it needed a little explaining.  :salute:

Found out on Friday that a towel hanger in the bathroom of my cabinet at work has gone a bit wobbly. Couldn’t reach the screw with a standard LM flat-phillips bit, so brought a Micra today.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190805/0172305616104a59579532ce38fab08d.jpg)

Disassembled the hanger and found a larger screw on the inside has gone loose, so Signal was used to tighten it up.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190805/5ae48a534618615002918caaccad2e7f.jpg)

Could have used Micra on it as well, but was a bit afraid to break the driver and I had a Signal on me anyway. Or I could have brought a Wave and it would manage all of this on its own just fine, so I really believe Wave is a much better solution for the urban environment

Also tightened those screws holding the hanger in place just in case

So it all started yesterday with me wanting to unleash a mojo guitar stompbox I used to create a feeling of an overdriven cranked amp without deafening any neighbors or bandmates onstage back in a day

I even bought a 9V battery, took the pedal out of the pedalboard where it remained daisy-chained with others for years and was about to use the Signal just for unscrewing it and putting in a battery to play a little blues, but.... it won't turn on.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190806/8f72d007f427963088dad6c087d4b064.jpg)


It took me quite a while experimenting with it trying to find out if it was a battery's fault or some contacts or whatever... All of the wires were intact, the battery was fine... And it did work via a power supply. So after an hour of thinking it through I hard-wired the battery's contacts to those on the power supply input and it works like magic again.

Didn't take action pics of the soldering process, but used Signal pliers covered with a duct tape for scratch prevention to unscrew the pots, wire stripper to get some wires ready for soldering and even pliers again to hold a tiny piece of hot wire in place. Glad it worked and I sure did make my Telecaster scream again with it  :woohoo:

Micra, Wave, the bit kit and extender were all involved too, but that’s a story for another time

I had some students in this afternoon and evening and into the night to paint a couple of wall in my classroom.  I'm an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor, so the chapter officers wanted to add some blue and gold to the room, so we did.  My Wave spent time pulling staples out of the wall from posters being hung up over the years.

Of course, we had to eat, so some burgers and dogs were grilled and we had plenty of watermelon and cantelope and cucumbers as well. 

We finished the night around 1 a.m. after some planning.  Now the kids are sacked out all over the classroom.  They think it is fun!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190809/e2473eb49e8fba4d067adaf90b11a335.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190809/61eadf8f59a950759d337042910c7ac3.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190809/8205c63577f629ce7105124b92738c32.jpg)

Oh yeah, and the can opener was used to open some canned chicken and canned green chiles for some amazing queso!

EDITED BECAUSE I REMEMBERED THE CAN OPENER AND THE FACT THAT I HAVEN'T SLEPT ALL NIGHT!

This morning I began the restoration of a rusty frozen adjustable wrench. After soaking it in penetrating oil overnight I used my MAC and Snap On screwdrivers to try to remove a pin that had a #1 Phillips head to no avail. They just spun. Right when I was about to quit I remembered the special dual #1/#2 bit on the Wave. It bit right into the fastener and removed it with ease.

Been hiking with a Signal. Frankly speaking, didn’t use it nearly as often as expected, but it came in handy of course anyway for cutting cordage, taking pans off the fire, hammering tent poles (and it works surprisingly well) and even used pliers to grab a slippery wet tent fastener where my cold wet hands simply couldn’t reach. And, you guessed it, tightening trekking poles is nice and easy with it

Thanks, gents. One thing I’ve found useful for myself is adding a piece of a cord to a Signal as a lanyard loop while on a hike. That’s because of the trekking pants are made of a fairly thin material in comparison to jeans, so the clip will not be as reliable there and the Signal’s carabiner could just tear the belt loop apart in some situation

went to visit my mum last week and when I got out of my car I saw a few rusty nails scattered across the parking bays. I picked up more than twenty before checking my tyres where I found one sticking out of a rear wheel. I pulled that sucker out with my cs4.
 I went to see my mum again today and when I came out I saw another nail sticking out of one of my fronts this time. so pulled this one out with the ps4 on my keys as I had them in my hand.

Great work! On the tarmac at the county dump (which we go to weekly--no trash pickup in the sticks), I'm always finding nails, razor blades, and even broken glass. Lucky the tires haven't picked any up. Saw a guy break a mirror he was throwing out, pieces went all over the tarmac, and he din't even bother to pick them up.

No photo, but I used my Surge quite a bit today.  We (my FFA Chapter) host the Children's Barnyard at the Colorado State Fair and today was opening day.  I used the awl to drill holes in heavy plastic signs to hang on the pens to "encourage" people to wash their hands after touching the animals.  I also used the pliers to cut and tire wires to keep fence panels together. Students borrowed it to cut twine on bales of hay and straw.   All around good day to have a Leatherman in my pocket!

I cant believe this thing. It may not be the biggest, baddest or have the most tools. But I gotta say, my Rev is a heck of a fighter.

Due to the size area I was working in, my surge didnt fit or I would have used the saw. Rev played tug o war with strapping wrapped good around a roller. And won!

I really enjoy using my Rev, it works very well and was an excellent deal. Cheap enough for me to be semi-rough with it and not mind if I ding it; unlike some of my other more costly LMs such as the Charge.

Sadly it has been discontinued without a good alternative to the Sidekick or Wingman price range.

Max, at least for the northamerican web page it is no longer shown, and has not been added to the discontinued listing, so my guessing is that's a recent decission. There's talk at reddit from people calling sales reps and getting a reply of been discontinued. RIP my little one! :P

Yup, I called last week when I noticed it was gone and LM confirmed that it is no longer being produced and at this time had no planned alternates in mind for its price range other than the Sidekick and Wingman.  :cry:

You can still find it on the Canadian LM website but not on the US one. (Canadian version is now the first link when you google the Rev)

So I bought a near mint one off evilbay for $14 to keep as a back up to my beater. Hopefully I won't be needed for a few years (like I needed another excuse to buy more MTs or SAKs  :whistle: )

Worked pretty good, but it was to expect, as it’s a new Multitool and for about 200 € It would be pretty poor if it wouldn’t cut such a Roll ..

Used the Bottle Opener/Screwdriver Combo Tool from my Free P4 to open the Beer of my Dad, I didn’t drink Beer myself since some years, except it’s something Spezial like a good tasting „Weißbier“ or something,
So I’m not Anti Alcoholic  at all, but I didn’t want to trink..
Back to the Leatherman:
I was quite impressed how easy this Bottle Opener works, maybe it’s because it’s geometry and the placement on the Multitool that’s perfect for opening bottles, I can remember the Bottle Opener on the Skeletool and the Signal dit the job not that good as this new one

Took out about 1 dozen screws (and put em back in) using my Rev and my Surge. You can tell the difference between the 2 when you got a screw that needs a stern talking to. But my rev didnt give up.

2 thumbs up for the Surge though

Spilled Gatorade on my keyboard doing college work yesterday--by this morning, a lot of the keys got just plain squishy. Used the Rebar's smallest screwdriver to pry them off, and an alcohol-soaked Q-Tip (with one end cut off using the cutters of the Rebar). Thankfully, Asus had designed the keyboard well, and they were easy to pull off and snap back on.

Great use for the Squirt Raoul  :tu:

As an electrician I'd like to suggest though to please crimp wire terminations.

Stranded/flexible wire is not meant to be screwed directly. All the single threads squish/push all directions away from the screw. You end up with only a few threads really being securely screwed.

Lots of people use some soldering alternatively, but it's a soft material that loosens up over time.
I speak from experience as having seen some burned terminals due to that myself  :salute:

Here's some illustration of what I mean...

  One of the merchandising carts had a missing bolt, and had been this way for a while. Needed to stack some boxes on the tailgate to get the cart through the lower hanging doors, too many cases on top. So, grabbed the PST and the widest screwdriver was not wide enough to hold, yet the file was.  :)  Which also gave me a rough estimate of how long a bolt is needed and how wide too.

Used Wave a lot just now to rewire my Fender Telecaster again. I learned that actually twisting wires coming from pickups could dramatically decrease noise levels. I spent a few days thinking of it and finally decided to go for it today. Wave helped with cleaning a tip of a soldering iron using a file, stripping wires, adjusting bridge saddles with a tiny hex bit and of course the entire thing was disassembled and assembled back using a Phillips bit. Forgot to take any pics though, yet Wave did amazing job a once again.

P.S.: twisting wires works true magic with single coils

  Recumbent trike's headrest was out of kilter. Got one side of the double-hex bolt loosened, then adjusted the pad-rest part to the better position. When trying to tighten the bolt up the other side was slipping of course. Pulled out the Crunch and went to see if the Phillips driver would hold it enough to tighten the bolt. The driver went in further than I though the hexed hole was, then it clinched in. Tightened the bolt up, and checked the fitting.  :D

  Minus the stubborn pliers head, the Crunch comes in handy a lot.

I wanted to take a closer look at my Sidekick after all the downing on entry level LMs. I will always think the Rev is a solid entry level.

I had some toys to open (diecast dually trucks, my USPS TT and step van havent released yet) so I used my Sidekick. Ive used it a few times, carried it a handful of times. And now, after examining each tool closely, I only see one fault. Because it is spring actioned, the wireclippers cant fully touch. A non issue for me but others may disagree. However, they do work as needed, unless youre trying to cut something very thing such as floss or fishing lone.

Used the Pry Tool of my Free P4 to pry a bit some of the plastic latches of our green boxes to put a label in, (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191015/57745fb540332b3fca34e474db37309b.jpg)

Seems like this Prying Tool/Package Opener/Screwdriver could be my second favorite Tool of the P4 behind the One Hand Open Scissors

Forgot to post those. Been a busy night for a Signal.
At first I found a Boss stompbox that had a malfunctioning battery connector. Used Signal to cut, strip, pull and hold wires while soldering.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/c614eaf666c2a07e1fe71b69b82bdd6f.jpeg)

Of course a screwdriver was used to disassemble and then put together a fixed unit

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/3e55e7a16aa60f6dedee2fd3daf59e79.jpeg)
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/fce9468b3e890d5c099a855f203a724b.jpeg)

Later I started tinkering with treble bleed addition to my Fender Telecaster, so in order to make testing of different cap+resistor combinations I created a short cable with alligators on both sides. Cutting, stripping with a Signal again, but also crimping this time

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/539f4dacada0eee2814531b912429c7e.jpeg)

P.S.: tried all of the treble bleed variants and didn’t like any. Left the signal path as is right now and the way I like it best - two volumes, no tone. Do any of you guitar players out there use treble bleed?

  Was working on the car to find a rattling noise. After getting that taken care of, used the Crunch to cut the cold of a severely beat up oil pan heater. Closed the hood and noticed it was not closed properly. Used the hood release inside the car, and it was fully disengaged, yet I could not open the hood nor close it it down.

  Used the Crunch and its file to reset the hood latch. Went to close the tools up and the file fell off. :ahhh  Crystallized metal. /sigh

  So, off to the fatherland for it (Leatherman HQ) to get repaired, and maybe they can look at those blasted pliers that won't stay shot. /grr

Had some spare time at work today - decided to clean up around a little. Among many other improvements disassembled and cleaned my tiny Bialetti espresso maker. Used a can opener to lift and remove a rubber part.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191022/2e833c6278263ca95f0f5738e033ffd8.jpg)

Next I found out that filtering part needs a bit of special attention. Since I don’t have a Swiss Champ or any other SAK with a pin - had to improvise
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191022/1c886a93f41d7f508c89351a2f869ee6.jpeg)

Anyways moments later the unit was again refreshed, proud and ready

Attempted to use my ST300 phillips head on a screw but all it did was strip it (old and not great quality screws). Then I attempted to use my 1/4" drive on my LM carabiner...it ended up being a 9/32nd

So close. Based on position of the screws (up inside a machine with minimal room) i was forced to get a socket. Was nice to get some time with the ST300 though.

Super glue... Always the same story - was unable to undo the tube by hand. Could have used the pliers, but then something I was yet to try caught my eye - a carabiner can actually be a perfect wrench for the job

Put the battery in the house and wanted to keep the cord for the trickle charger up off the ground. Random screw that was laying around and the Free. Problem sorted.

leatherman saves the day...again

you know those pull tabs for half and half or other carton containers? The loop you pull broke off and what was left was hard to get with your fingers. My wife asked me for help...used the PS4 Squirt to pull it open.

She took this squirt from me last week and is loving it.

Windy day today - a bamboo stalk fell down onto a car in the work parking lot.

Turns out it was pretty dead but I cut the remaining part of the stalk with the Sidekick saw. First time actually using the saw, worked better than I thought it would!  :multi:

One of the common uses I have for my Leatherman ST200 is cutting off the steel banding around raw materials--in this case, a chunk of 8" diameter steel bar.  What I do is snip each side of the 3/4" wide steel banding with the cutters and then grab the band with the pliers and break the weakened band free.  Works great.

last night, I gave my Surge a work out...well I got the workout but surge was holding up good.

A shaft for a chain curve was tangled up with plastic strapping...so I pull out the BO Surge. first used the serrated blade. Did pretty well. It was 2-3in thick of it so it was no picnic. Tried the saw. Also did decent. got tired of sawing away, so pulled out the pliers. I put all my weight into pulling the cutting up pieces (250+lbs) and the Surge held on tight!

Needless to say, I didnt get it all cleared out (limited access, barely enough for the pliers) but had a good time.  :rofl:

My work week has started!

On the label printer stacker (horizontal) the chute going up and placing the label was stuttering a bit. Took sides off, one which has belts, pulleys and electrical parts in the way.

Used my Rev to take out about 15 screws. Phillips was perfectly length and head size.

Actually I am already thinking of getting a surge to do all the nasty stuff at work and keep the charge plus tti for everyday carry.

The miniature size of pliers is the biggest factor to replace it, no need to mention the crimper part of the pliers which make it even more weak

This evening I went around my mums house as she had a few odd jobs needed doing. A light fitting needed putting up, a couple of light switches were not working and two light fittings had the metal remnants of the previous bulbs wedged in them.

So I went around with a small electrical screwdriver, my olight h1 nova head torch and leatherman cs4.
Got it all done, so she was happy and I got my dinner made for me. :tu:

TO make my partners very good friends husband happy.  Did that make sense  :think:.  We went over this weekend to help with a few things and I had asked if he had a MT.  The wife said yes, so I enquired which one.  She said the one that was on sale  :dunno:.  I took picture of a Wave in sheath and she said, OH NO those are too expensive so he gets the ones on sale.  He's got a young family and while money is not tight per se he takes care of other things first. 

It was a very slightly used Wave but it was in near perfect condition.  He was so happy to have it.  We talked about accessories and I shared with him an "easy" mod to make it accept standard 1/4 inch bits.  We left and she messaged my partner to say he was still opening and closing it.  I gave the blade a really nice edge and a dribble of 3in1.

Straight blade on my BO Surge to cut cardboard for my kitty box. Cut the flap in half so they still got a little covering but dont catch it and it close on them. (Opened box laying on its side)

Thing cut it like butter.

So, last Saturday my home heater decided to go kaput. In order to reach the pcb i had to dismantle a lot of things, so i used the T2. Unfortunattely i neened torx screws for the pcb so i brought the screwdriver kit.
I do wish they had some sort of bit adapter.
Just glad you got heat back in your home! Personally I can live without A/C as I have gotten used to heat into 90’s. But I need my heat for winter!  :cheers:

Mailhandlers let a 12+ foot long piece of saran wrap material (secures load to pallet for transport) up into the loose mail system. climbed up on top (10ft high) and had to cut it out. used my BO Surge and the serrated blade. It was around 2" thick and in one swipe it was cut. These things still amaze me  :facepalm:

A new use after a long time for me - had to open a shipping carton of heavy-duty cardboard that was glued shut (no tape).  I don't know how one is meant to open these things, but after much poking and prying,  I literally cut it away with the serrated sheepfoot blade, avoiding any stray scratches or nicks to the contents. The proverbial box cutter would have gone too deep.

I like this idea.  There are a few "stories" threads that are started and fall off pretty quickly, but I always enjoy reading those.  Maybe the main General Tool Discussion needs a tread entitled:
"My Multitool Saved my Skin" or something to that effect.  Being in the general section, it would be for any tool, and would be for clever, alternative uses, or uses worth re-telling. 

I think the Leatherman and Victorinox sites used to have a story page, with stories such as - "I helped the train conductor in Austria repair a steam engine that was broken down in the mountains"

It would be nice to keep the daily use threads that we have but add one to chronicle special uses.

The Fiskars X5 sheath has a ridge on the underside of the handle. The opening is already a little narrow, why is that ridge there?
It bothered me, so I carved it out with a Wingman package opener. Outstanding implement.
Also smoothed it out with the Charge diamond file.

Completely removed, and rounded off. Much more comfortable grip.

Now I’m curious, great reuse of the bottles, but what do you use the tape for?  :like:

...and how does the wooden tool work?  :dunno:
Title: Re: What did you use your Leatherman for today?
Post by: ReamerPunch on February 05, 2020, 10:23:09 AM
The tape is infinitely more useful than having thrown the bottles away. It is really strong (those are 6mm or about 1/4" wide) and those are high vis too.

The wooden block has a slit for the bottle, and a perpendicular slit for the blade (cheap sanrenmu). You fit the bottle in its slot, and twist it to get the tape going, and then just pull the tape until there is no more to be made.

CrazyRussianHacker shows the two notches and the process in this short video
He put a razor blade. I used a knife that I just wedged in the slot.

I also found this wonderful video where plastic tape is being used for a ton of stuff.
Aluminium jig, sturdier, smaller, and with multiple slits for different tape widths. Gonna make one to replace my block of wood.

Although I didn’t technically use it, I loaned my Sidekick to a friend to repair his music stand when we were playing today. He used the pliers to remove the rivet on one of the leg supports and then the Phillips head driver to tighten a screw and nut. Didn’t miss a beat.

Weekend - a great time to fix something around the house

We recently have issues with the smoke exhaust or whatever you call that thing in the kitchen that sucks out all the smoke in English correctly

It for some reason started to either turn it or off randomly.

Decided to disassemble it and sadly found out that the logic board is not isolated from steam and moisture in any way... poor design decision really

Anyway still thinking about any possible diy solutions to the problem and having fun with tools.

Started with a Signal cause it’s always beside me
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/fca833cb9336b3a8e3adba3a440be373.jpg)


But quickly switched to the Wave with a bit extender- haven’t used it for a while really - waaay more comfortable if you have a choice
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/dc65a157adf925df694e9674dd1b8de9.jpg)


Being done with those screws switched to Signal pliers this time and Wave won again - needlenose pliers suit much better for the limited space I had to deal with and the grip is much narrower with Wave:
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/f0c0a27b87cbd46ec964e1bd90826029.jpg)

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/0a9b727ac1e4ba548d3753edd769f859.jpg)



Those pliers on the Signal are surely stronger, yet in the wild I would probably only lift some pots off the fire from time to time


Overall Signal is a great outdoor tool for me, but for household queries Wave seems to just be better.

My lady asked to make an old pvc pipe waste of friendly so I gave all my tools another test:
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/9ed2f6a47b5117824541556cadf9f64e.jpg)


In this round we have a clear tie - the saw is basically the same.
The coolest thing about it for me is that despite years of service the saw on a Wave is still sharp and amazingly capable, just as a pretty much mint Signal saw
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/380fa4a2c1b75a4e7fca5aabfd4d0957.jpg)
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/f4de26370a5796b8f07000b899d59dca.jpg)

One more thing: I added a Vic Forester to the test as well. Despite the fact I totally prefer LM saws for wood cutting - safely locking, more controlled and less force involving if you will - it actually won the round against LMs this time probably due to less resistance from the soft plastic

So I fixed it. Seems like steam has been engaging those touch sensors randomly.
After thinking through the issue for a considerably serious amount of time I decided to somehow isolate the logic board from moisture and today decided to give it a try.

Bought this cool Dremel glue gun and poured hot glue all over the contacts on the logic board. After the first test is still switched the lights on randomly but way less, so disassembled again, fixed those spots I missed and after the second test things seem to be pretty smooth

Here are the tools I used for this task greeting the new member

I've been busy working on the new home. Last night the Surge pliers pulled up a few sections of old carpet and the serrated blade cut about 6' of carpet. Sorry, no pics  :cry:

All of the screw drivers have been used many times taking apart and putting back together cabinets, light fixtures, etc. The Surge has had a workout the past few weeks.

Just a bit of a tip - antibiotics made to be swallowed don't necessarily work when crushed and applied to the skin.  Also, infections within the body aren't usually from the same bacteria as the ones on the skin - so the antibiotics are different.

Thanks for an advice, bud, appreciate it. It’s not really an antibiotic at all though, just kinda bactericide pills, I don’t know if you guys have it - it’s called Streptocide

Used the Surge to file the scalpel holder where it locks up
And the PocketCrunch to remove and fit the pivot screw
I had to spend some time on the grooves were the
blade slides on as the blade didn’t want to fit properly
Need to work on the grooves a bit more but it is working
Overall a nice bit of kit and I like that you easily can remove
the blade when I go outside and make the Wave UK knife legal
just need to think of what I can replace the serrated blade with

I feel the same. Before obtaining the Surge a few months ago, I carried a Sidekick for several years and really enjoyed the spring loaded pliers. For this reason, i had a difficult time deciding between the Surge and the OHT.

The last few days, I've had an idea of an OHT with only four outside tools, but they would be full-size and Surge quality.

+Surge scissors
+Surge T-Shank blade adapter
+Full length screw driver bit adapter
+And a new full length prybar/scraper with wire and cable strippers.

It would be blade less, but I figure if you want a blade, one could modify a saw blade into knife.

I changed the akku for a PSP, used the old pcb and soldered another akku from something else. Used the scissor to cut cables and other electronic related stuff so i can charge and use the new akku.
It works by the way.

It's better in low light conditions, you can see the screen better. Need to do a bivertmod also, i just need to receive it. Though, it is a risky job to remove the reflector and polarizer film. I found out there are ips lcd screens with pcb, easy to install, just a litthe more expensive. 55usd for ips lcd vs 5usd led panel.

I know it is easy to get your leatherman and cut wires with it. And I do this myself too. But I have to warn everyone that once your cutting wires with a non insulated cutter you have got to be 200% sure the lamp (or any other item) is off/disconnected from the power supply. Otherwise you will short circuit and this can be dangerous. Just a little warning. Be safe everyone.

Ok, in an attempt to bond with my OHT (I've been struggling since day 1) I used it to help remove a strainer screw in the kitchen sink, so that I could attempt to unblock the drain using a snake.

It didn't work and now I remember why I went in after the U-Bend last time  ::)

The OHT performed its duties well (basically the flat head screwdriver) and the pliers to remove the strainer, after said screw was extracted.

I still find the blades too short (although not used here) I would prefer them to be the same size as my Surge even if it makes the tool the same size (or larger  :dunno: )

I'm also not sure I need outside drivers that I find, quite frankly, difficult to find (and open) when needed  :think:

Also, I find that the plier lock mechanism rotates itself meaning that, when I actually want to deploy the pliers (big fan of these spring loaded ones) I have to look away from what I'm doing and put them back in place (unlike my MP600 which just works, although it is compromised with the lack of O/S & OHO tools)

I'll attempt the unblocking again tomorrow and, if the OHT is free (and not sulking) I'll use it again.

I am trying..promise  :whistle:

Going to have a kayak trip on weekend, so I decided it’s time to finally use a Black Diamond lantern I’ve bought a few years ago in Chanonix, France, during Mont Blanc ascent trip.

To my surprise I discovered the top screws went rusty so a Work Champ can opener helped taking them out
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200710/895fa902b3d66ca444f5ea0df9ee3711.jpg)

Then pliers to pull them away and to hold while rubbing with a WD-40 soaked cotton bud
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200710/191f8f5714e0b482ba0b1a9b3ae32c9c.jpg)

It didn’t actually help to remove all the rust, so here I’ve decided to use a diamond file on a Wave
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200710/a0c6cb5238a06e2d6dd94c6ed9f8ada6.jpg)

Together those tools can do anything, so here’s the final team and results(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200710/7403db31d4dcad483acfe7bc0371d834.jpg)

:hatsoff: Ws. I should use my Skeletool more often. A very underrated tool  :dunno:

I bought one new from Tractor Supply with birthday money many years ago. I've carried it maybe ten? times. It's a pretty good tool, given what it offers in tool selection, weight and carry options. I am, however, upgrading it with the hammer/bit driver/pry tool that screws onto the carabiner our own Metropolicty designed. That way, it gives me most of the functionality that I want in the MUT/Signal, and more of a reason to carry it.

Used my sidekick for something more than using pliers or turning a philips head.

Our automatic tray sleever wouldn't take trays in. A sensor for 1 of 3 that are required to work was out of wack. Had this issue many times. So many times the screw head is stripped and we cant find a replacement. Therefore, my philipshead was no match. I didnt feel like walking 1/4 mile to get my micro screwdrivers.

I used the tiny flathead at the end of the ruler/file. Fit perfectly. The main issue was getting the honking multitool in there. Had to move a bunch of air hoses and wires to get to it.

In a sentence, used tiny flathead on end of file to loosen, adjust and tighten a sensor to put machine back in operation.

Squirt P4: Large slotted SD removed metal switch plate cover so that it could be repaired. Pliers unscrewed window breaker from cheap folder; since they tend to poke, cut and scratch stuff; and the folder wasn't going to be carried for emergency use; and for an around the farm work beater, it would likely never be used to break a window. Awl poked holes in boxed apple pie before microwaving.

Mini Tool (changed clothes, happened to be in pants). Fixed gate latch with pliers.

Been a busy one yesterday.

Some time ago I posted a few pics of fixing a kitchen heating water tap. It still misbehaved once in a while so we finally decided to replace it. Down under the sink I went with a Signal in my hand attempting to undo a nut holding the water pipe in place
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200930/43b3e184fe7b02d71f6946f25e6e72a8.jpg)

But the handle splay is so wide on Signal that I had to switch to the Wave
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200930/65dc2c8905b413f8bf97efbac7496a10.jpg)

Next I used Work Champ long Phillips to install a wall plug to a new heater - they do provide it but since there are options to either plug it above or below the sink you have to install it yourself
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200930/87b5d87825c574987da86c363c2d81a1.jpg)


Being done with a water heater I went further to replacing water filter cartridges. Work Champ main blade was used to unpack all the parts and cut thing plastic water pipes, though I didn’t take any pictures of that.

However in order to install a new membrane I needed to first remove the old one, so Work Champ pliers were used
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200930/03e7bdfd4c455a2392ffaf9a1130daa6.jpg)

After quite some time fiddling with the reverse osmosis system and putting it all back to work providing us with fresh water I decided to have a look what might possibly be wrong with the old heating water tap, so Phillips on a Work Champ was used again. Can’t stress enough how much I love that long one and the reach it provides - impossible to do with anything else like LMs, CyberTools etc.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200930/62e6620ae36fdfa9474a62cc6ed6fc0a.jpg)

As you can see it’s all wrong and I could possibly clean it and make it work for some more time, but at the price of 30-50$ replacement I just don’t see the point....

Anyways, I had my fun doing it all, hope you did too reading through all of the above

I've used the old giftcard trick for ductape for years but always liked the idea of making a more compact roll, so I took my Rebar to a nail: sawing off the point, filing the tip flat and any burrs off, then came the frustrating part. Trying to roll duct tape neatly is an exercise in self torture  :twak:

After cutting a few shrooms the blade on a Work Champ stopped being shaving sharp - fixed really quick today, but to me shrooms are a pretty soft substance that shouldn’t affect sharpness that fast

It was a rainy day, so i just wiped both blades with my sweatshirt and put back in their sheaths.

Today I’ve also discovered some rust stains on a Signal blade

Cleaned easily with Ballistol and a piece of cloth, still I find it pretty disappointing

Used my freshly out of warranty (they sent me a new one because they don't do repairs in my country) wave plus to temporarily fix its sheat.
Had it for a year and a half and the velcro from the lid was damaging the part under the tape, which I think would've lead to a hole.

So I burnt the fiber that was going wild, cut up the burnt bundles and then applied some electrical tape to prevent it from happening again.
I know this isn't going to last but I've been playing with it a lot since I got it back so I didn't want to tear a hole in it until I find a more permanent solution, or until I can justify the money for a new sheat.

Squirt was used to cut and hold in place a small wire to solder a broken connection.

For you welders out there.

I clipped .045 100s-1 hard wire today while welding a UT joint. Supertool 300 owned it. Not a single clipping that didn't cut all the way through.
Tool didnt bind up at all. I used all three wire cutting surfaces.

Well here%u2019s  a weird one - Killing a tic

My wife found one wandering around our bathroom
We caught it in a tissue and I squeezed it as hard as I could in the tissue
I opened up the tissue and there he was wandering around as happy as Larry Tried again more targeted on the squeeze But no effect
So out came the Juice from my pocket ....... he did not survive that squeeze  :(

Normally I won%u2019t  kill any animals even our poisonous spiders They are caught and returned to the wild!
But tics are nasty It could kill our cat and I%u2019ve had itchy sore legs for ages after an encounter

Used mine to help take apart my newest knife. The action on it was gritty and just oil and movement didn't help. Hopefully taking apart, cleaning and oiling again made the situation a lot better. Used the Rebar to hold the bushing because when you take out the screw on one side and try to undo the other - the bushing just turns around with it.

Used the Rebar to tighten the bolts on a LED panel I use to light the path around the house. Since those were loose it didn't want to stay in the correct angle so it didn't illuminate the whole path. To be honest, if I didn't have a MT in my pocket, I was just going to leave it for... sometime later  :multi:

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210206/63759329e877c8999298edf5edabe41d.jpg)

Than a knife and a cap lifter for stripping those wires
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210206/ebb58cd03a49c49288c318f0c37bd101.jpg)

Then pliers for crimping
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210206/df740be2be5864480a4f87e14616f613.jpg)

Phillips again to put those wires in place
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210206/3efa30eddcb457b65c054273eeba05b7.jpg)

I needed to cut the wire, so Signal wire cutters came in handy. Did the job, but the wire slipped out of them due to it’s thickness

Just be careful where you empty the ash.  A few years back my missus managed to set a compost bin on fire, and the first we knew was when a fire truck rolled up (there was lots of smoke, not so much in the way of flames).  Nowadays the ash gets thoroughly soaked with cold water before it is placed in the compost.

Putting in a new mother-f**king lock! I say that, in a screaming fashion, as some dimwit put in a custom door a long time ago, and made a lot of “custom mistakes” when making it I had to work around a few of them. Thank GOD for rotary tools!

Oh, I almost exclusively used my Surge to do the job, too. It’s easier for hurting arthritic (osteo and rheumatoid) hands to grip.

About two days ago I used my Micra to repair a tough laptop docking station in a police car. Had to reseat the power and peripherals couplings. Then closed it us. They report it's been working fine since then.

Someone must have been in there on a repair before me, because  two of the countersunk Philips screw heads were rounded out. Used the tiny screwdriver on the Micra.

 I had modified a 1/4" Driver to fit my Skele but a ratcheting one would be fantastic! I can’t wait
to get my own ratchet driver too! It looks like they’ve got it sized right and hoping it’s up to
Leatherman’s quality standards.

 With the onset of the Covid, There has been a huge increase in RV and E-Bike sales in the states
mainly because folks could no longer vacation by airplane, train or enjoy ocean cruises. I retired at
that onset and came out an E-Bike riding senior citizen!
 My E-bike has kept me from going stir crazy and very busy customizing it as well as my Skeletool

Used my P4 Squirt to fix the toilet paper dispenser. One side fell off as the set screw was loose. Placed back on and tightened the screw. Awkward angle and a bit too short but made it work. That’s the one thing I like about the LMs without the removable bits. You just pull out the bit you need rather hunting down the right size and installing it in the bit driver.

Old helping new. I had slightly dinged the P4's main blade due to a longer than I thought metal insert in a plastic bushing I needed to trim in length. PSTII diamond file to the rescue to touch it up again. The P4's blade dings easily - hollow grind? It's straighter now :D

Not today, but Monday I used my TTi to get my Jeep back home.  So I've done a bunch of work, and made a bunch of changes to my Jeep.  Monday I took it out for a nice easy shakedown run, and about halfway through the run, the Jeep died.  Well smurf.  Tried to start it, nothing.  I turn the key to see if I can hear the fuel pump, and I could. But I could also hear fuel spraying, and when I looked out my window I could see fuel spraying out.  Well double smurf!  Under the Jeep (on a wet and muddy trail) I go.  Yep, broken fuel line right at the quick connector.  Triple smurf!  :rant:  So I start trying to figure out what I had and what I could use to get out of the woods and back home.  Luckily I have an onboard air system that just happens to have 3/8" airline.  So I cut a piece off, crawl back under the Jeep, strip the rubber coating off of the plastic line, cross my fingers that the airline is the right size, and go to slip it over both fuel lines.  Sure enough, it was the right size!  :woohoo:  I put a couple of zip ties on it, tightened them up and I was back on my way.  I was filthy, wet, and soaked in gas, but I was back on my way.  I have knives and pliers that stay in the Jeep, but no pliers that would have been small enough to fit where I needed them to tighten the zip ties.

We were out with the stroller this afternoon in the city park. It was a bit windy and the sun was beating so I needed a makeshift wind/sun screen. Placed a piece of white cloth on the hood of the stroller and it worked perfect but the wind kept blowing it down. So I thought I need something to hold it, like a cloth pin. Then I remembered the old wooden ones, before they started making it with springs. So I'm in the park, in need of wooden pin and have a leatherman in the pocket.  :multi:

Used my Bond quite a bit. I cut 2-3 things with the blade (mostly packaging), and then used the file to notch a mark in the top of a key. We have several different Kwikset locks around here. Every darn one of them is marked "5"; whether it's a new lock, or 25 years old.  I lost my keys recently, and I usually don't have to worry, as my key is marked "LOWES", not Kwikset.  To make sure, I put a notch in the key.

I have to admit, the Bond is shaping up to be a quite nice tool. It's also pretty much one of the few knives/tools I own bought day of release.

My Bond just got used harder than I have used pretty much every Leatherman. Normally I have a pair of 160mm Knipex combination (linesman's type with bolt gripping channel) in there along with a 8" pair because the smaller pair fits between staves; and the 8" gives me good leverage, but fits in tighter spaces than my full-on fence pliers.  Well, today, Granddad and I were checking fences in the UTV, and noticed that a corner of the lower line fence had been pushed from underneath. The people that own that property bordering us are downright horrible when it comes to maintaining their fence lines. So, I had to push the fence in and affix two clips. I had the clips. But, somehow, I'd misplaced the smaller pair of Knipex pliers. The specialty tool I bought for post clips got one side of the first clip I used in, and then the other side would not go. Finally, I just had to bend that end with my Bond. Not my ST300; not my Surge (or even my better-for-fencing multitool the Swisstool). Took it surprisingly well. For jobs like these, I try to avoid using PST/Rebar/Bond sized tools. Rebar has done it before, however. I Just wish LM would go back to finer teeth on the pliers. These newer style teeth don't grip well; but they do wear better.

I'm going to find a bolt and drill a small hole in it; or perhaps find a hitch pin that will work (which I had). While the speciality tool works, it really only works about half the time. A lot of times, it either doesn't fit, or the clip is at an odd angle.

I used my Surge several times this weekend. Today I opened a couple packages of Spax screws with the serrated blade. I used the pliers to get out a few wood screws that did not properly seat into some  plywood I am laying down to build up a subfloor. I used the saw to cut a small piece of ply to fit an area in a closet to help level before installing luxury vinyl planks. I used the bit exchanger and ratchet adaptor to dismantle an old office chair to fit in the trash.

So, what did you do today with the assistance if your LM?

No pics because...well, I was working on something.  I had a couple of big drywall patches to make and my Wave did a fantastic job with the serrated blade of making guided cuts to trim to size.  I've used the serrated blade more in the past month than I have in the previous 15 or more years.  And...I've learned how to sharpen that blade on my Spyderco sharpmaker deal.   The more I use the Wave, the less I think of the Bond.  I knew there was a reason I bought that first gen Wave 20 years ago.

Yesterday evening I went to the nearby river for a little "me time". The river has been high and muddy for quite long, which isn't good for fly fishing. But now it has lowered and cleared a bit so I managed to catch few chubs. The Wave rode with me and the scissors helped with cutting the excess line. What I found out is that I can take the scissors out, cut what I wanted, but instead of folding them back in the handle I just opened them so the tip would be covered (don't underestimate the tips on those small scissors, a Gerber Splice got me really good !). So next time I needed them they were one hand accessible and pretty much safe to carry. Knife cut some small branches from a willow tree to free my fly few times. The pliers helped get the hook out and safe the life of one especially greedy, finger sized, baby chub. A great way to end the week  :)

Pulse used to prize out the tools on the Pradel. Rust and dirt removed, blade sharpened, joints oiled. If not quite good as new, not at all bad

Today I traveled a bit to take a look at an used vehicle for my father. Everything was looking right to me but the knob that was controlling how hard the air conditioner blows air. It was standing funny and the air flow didn't seem to change when you turn it. The seller was trying to convince me it's all fine but I told him that I am concerned because this could be an easy and cheap fix if it's just the knob or could be an expensive thing to fix with parts hard to find. So I offered him to take the panel off and see what's behind. Sure enough the knob was snapped off the thing it was supposed to turn. There was a small piece of plastic left on the thingy but it was pretty recessed in. We needed something narrow but sturdy to grab and turn it and see what happens. I had my ST300 on me so ... :multi:
We managed to turn the thingy and the air conditioner started blowing harder. Meaning it only needed a new knob. So we shook hands and beginning of next week we'll go to get it. Leathermans rule  :hatsoff:

Exactly the type of situation MTs are for - random unforeseen uses.
The car is an 2004 Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon, 1.9 jtd 115 hp. Completely random purchase for us. We were looking for something on a budget, in decent shape, working AC and over 100hp. Needed mainly for short trips, 5-15 km and few times per year ~ 300km. This one seemed to be in the best shape in the given parameters. Time will tell how good I judged, but I guess everything in life is like that  :dunno:

We got it. It made about a 2 hour ride to my place and on the next day 4 hour drive to my hometown where my parents live. So far so good. As for the mileage - the engine still has most of it's power so it runs pretty good. And given it's twice the power of his previous one he seems to enjoy a flooring of the gas pedal here and there so I doubt it will get perfect mileage in the first few months  :D.
As mentioned the AC control unit had a knob broken. I bought the whole unit from a website that specializes in used original parts for about 25 usd. Initially I thought just to swap the whole thing but it turned out I need to take the CD off to get to 2 screws so I just swapped few parts on it as it was on the dashboard. Used the small flathead on the Rebar for gently prying some plastics out and the philips to do the actual job. It worked like a charm. Then used the serrated edge to take an Osram lightbulb out of the plastic casing as we had a headlight go out. The car (with that engine and all the extras) has no space behind the headlight fixture so changing a bulb is a challenge. A quick online search showed that Fiat does it by taking off the bumper and charges about 100 $. But owners that are handy enough and not willing to pay that take the plastic arch cover that is over the wheel off and do the job from there. It worked but it's not fun at all, it takes time and for sure isn't something I'd like to do in the night on the side of the road. So from now, when picking a new car, user friendly headlights will be added to the checklist.

The first loaded AAA was getting stuck in this torch, the positive contact was getting wedged in the end of the spring. So cracked it open and the Squirt PS crimped the end of the spring to stop it happening again.

Today me and a friend went to the river to have some fun with the local bleak fish, a small creature that isn't really cautious therefore quite fun to catch. Forgot my good hook remover and those little buggers are greedy. So I used the pliers on the Wave few times to get hooks out. Then I decided I don't want to mess it with fish slime because I'd have to clean and oil it later. So I carved a piece of willow tree into a hook remover and went on. It worked decently.

Yup. Bulb change on a Stilo is a nightmare.
Multijet is good diesel engine and does shift the relatively light body nicely!
Great use of the multitool also!

I always keep atleast one leatherman on my work desk so I am using them daily. Cutting fingernails, opening letters etc.
Wave's diamond file is just superb for small adjustmens. Last fix was to grind a counter part of the door lock little bit bigger to make it work proper. It is difficult to find as good size diamond file as Wave has anywhere. Normal hand tool files are way more thicker and bigger or then they have way too small.

Had to clear the grown up weeds and little tree sprouts from in front of the gas meter, so the serrated blade on the Wave+ came to the rescue.  Too small of stuff for the saw.

Breaking in a new BO supertool 300.   Used it for for putting up some outside lights today and very happy with it.

Awl was great for making some holes in plastic, small flat head great for terminal blocks, philips for screws, pliers for cutting and stripping wires and handle crimper. Also used the body for banging in some Rawl plugs🤔 excellent tool. Alway stayed away from total inside tools but very happy with the supertool

 :D Never heard it being called that way, had a good laugh. Love the serrated blade on my Leathermans, but prefer using the saw when it's a sawing job - it's just easier to sharpen in my opinion.

I've made my own by feeding a paperclip through gutted paracord, sealing the ends, and bending into clip shape. The paracord helps to keep it from scratching surfaces (car doors, etc.) and makes it less noticable to other people.

Today I was tracking oilfield pipe at my company's fabrication shop. Each piece of pipe has a stainless steel tag identifying it, but the painters cover the tags with Gorilla tape before the pipes go through the paint shop (they can't use masking tape, which would be easier to peel off, because it wouldn't survive the sandblasting process). I had to peel the tape off so I could read and record the tag numbers.

Gorilla tape is serious stuff to try to peel off of a flat, smooth metal surface. The adhesive seems to be stronger than the tape itself, because the tape often rips before the adhesive gives way. Pliers are essential for getting a good grip on the tape.

I started out using my Curl, since I had it with me (on my belt). After peeling about 40 tags, thought, it was getting uncomfortable from the squeezing force required, so I went and got my Wave+ from my car to finish the job.

Would a SOG MT with compound leverage from the gears for the pliers be even better ?

They do, but at the cost of increased handle splay which could be an issue if gripping larger diameter objects (which shouldn't be a problem if you are only gripping thin labels).

But when I picked it up the spare key was offered as the main and I soon discovered why, the flick out mechanism didn't work, when I opened it up with the Bond I found no spring in there at all!

No problem... Took the spring out of a pen, then used the Bond to cut it down to size and bend out the pieces that would hold it in place to be wound. 15 minutes of faffing and once accident of winding it the wrong way (so it flipped closed...) and it works!

Congrats on your car! Used a Bond and pulled a MacGyver   :hatsoff:

I was just reading this thread and thought no one has posted in a long time. To me threads like this are my favorite because it show people using their Leatherman to get stuff done!    Glad to see this thread back on the front page.

Well, this wasn't today...but on Friday, I had to cobble up a couple of short jumper wires. They were so short that it would have a real smurf to hold them while stripping the ends. The Signal's pliers saved the day!

Lots of MT use lately so I thought of this tread.

The other day I went on a hunt near the city. The prey was some wild green edibles - dock and nettle. When I was a kid and lived in rural environment I used to go foraging frequently. I just enjoyed the process so much  :dd: So I got a trip back to memory lane. Used the serrated on the Surge. Not that those can't be picked with fingers but using the blade as a reaping hook made it faster and easier on the root system of the plants (if you leave them in great shape you can harvest again soon).

Grab a handful of leaves with the left, reap with the right. Repeat.

Here is the harvest. The nettle stung me several times even through the gloves.

(https://i.postimg.cc/ryj9tMPd/C5291-FB1-500-C-4531-825-E-2-BF14-AC95260.jpg)

Here is part of the nettle cooked the same night with some eggs. It might not look delicious but it is. And I am steaks and roasts kind of guy so  :2tu:

Yesterday I used the Crunch to change a head light bulb on the van, in a big box store parking lot. I have to do it there because I always forget what kind of bulbs it uses. This time I was almost sure they were h7 and when I took it out it was h4 so doing it right before you go in to buy one is the right call. The bulb is held in place by a weird springy bracket that is usually pretty easy to work with - grab both sides, squeeze them together and pull out. But one side has broken off, leaving the undoing of  the other pretty hard job for such a tight spot. Managed to do it with the right tool by my side. I might change the bracket but it seems that involves taking the headlight out so I might just stick to always having a Leatherman on me to deal with the broken one. Seems like the better option  :D No pics as it was so tight the camera could not focus.

Also yesterday at home got a good workout for the Rebar. I had to tear apart our bedroom, which was completely renovated about 18 months ago (and I mean completely - floor, windows, electrical, new furniture..) We've been having a lot of condensation on the outer walls, which led to forming mold... So everything to pieces and bring the chemicals  :poh: Rebar helped taking out few outlets that were in the way and disassembly of a wardrobe. Mainly the Philips driver was used. Also no pictures, in my frustration I did not think about that.

And at the evening used the Wave to open few pear cider bottles.

Thanks Poncho ! The dock is kind of like wild spinach. Where I grew up (farther north and lower attitude) there was a different kind of dock that looked a bit different and tasted a bit different.
The nettle, according to Wikipedia, do grow in North America but probably not everywhere, my guess would be the states in roughly the same distance from the Equator as Bulgaria. If you've ever encountered that plant you'd never forget it - it doesn't leave permanent damage but it stings like hell and the stung can be felt for few days after that.

I can't speak for how effective it is, but I remember it helping take the worst off  :think:

Lightly crush in the hand and then rub into the sting enough that the leaf begins to break down and leave a bit of residue, it doesn't get rid of it completely, but it takes the edge off!

Do you ever feel like there is a Leatherman for every occasion? Of all my multitools, the Free P4 was the only one with a flathead small enough to reach the adjustment screws for my new reflex sight. I'll admit I wasn't overly exited about the combined awl and flat head, but look at that! :D

Indeed I do. It's awlways nice to find that just perfect tool!

The lady of the house asked me if I had a supply of replacement tweezers for her Victorinox Classic SD. (Of course I do.) I gave her a new pair and attempted to turn the old ones into "bushcraft tweezers." The Juice Pro's file helped in that endeavor. Now I just need to come up with something better to hold the tweezers while filing them...

At work, I carry around a small assortment of tools. I figured  Id add one of my many leathermans to reduce the tool size and amounts. So I put in the sidekick.

I was changing a diverter gate for the letter sorting machine. There's  2 plugs that are usually hard to come apart (since they arent changed too often). Used diagonal cutters  to grip one side and sidekick other. Popped right off! Including the connector. Paid by the hour not the job :)

Yep, for the crimper. At the time of taking the photos there were already eggs cracked - you can see it in the last picture. First chicken got out few hours later. They are out now, running around their temporary home in my workshop. First time ever I am doing such things on my own. I find myself thinking about and calling memories of my grandmother a lot during this process.

Yep, the dark ones are black australorp. The two yellow ones are a mix from my Lohman brown hens and a big white rooster (don't think he belongs to any breed). I did a lot of reading about breeds before getting those australorp eggs. Main reason for choosing them is that among the mid size birds they are supposedly quite heat tolerant, being bred in Australia. And summers around here get pretty hot in the recent years. But when I went to pick the eggs I ordered the breeder also had Orpingtons (which I did not choose because they would not take heat as well) and after seeing that breed in person - now I want them too. Trouble is I am limited in the number of birds I can have since I live in a city...
When I was a kid in the village of my grandmother I used to breed pigeons. A lot of them and a lot of breeds. Now this passion has reignited, though being a bit more utilitarian with the chickens  :D

I had to cut some OSB boards on the floor that had already been fastened because of a mistake. I could cut them up until the wall where the circular saw could not reach the last 12 centimeters so I put a long t shank blade in my Surge and easily finished the last part. It saved me half an hour of tough work.  :woohoo:

I received a pallet of equipment and used my Leatherman Wave serrated blade to remove plastic wrap and wire cutters to remove the metal banding.  I also used the Wave as a door stop to hold a door open so I could move the pallet through it and lastly noticed some loose screws on the door and tightened them with the Phillips drivers.  I am constantly amazed at how much can be accomplished with this one tool.   :multi:

While I was making dinner today, I accidentally ran out of fish sauce. So I came back to my storage for some more. Pulled out my Wave and used the pliers to open tight knots of a plastic bag wrapping as I cut my nails short the other day, used the knife to open a package and used the scissors to cut the seal of a fish sauce bottle inside.  :multi:

Gettin' home from work and having a craving ...

The Signal got in charge of opening the fillet packages, and scoring/peeling/cutting the plaintains. Too hungry for action pictures, here it is posing with the result, the puertorrican version of fish-n'-chips: fried red snapper nuggets with "tostones" (smashed green plaintain fries)! :like:  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]

Drilled a hole in a belt today, could have been better if my Wave+ had an awl, however, using the tip of the blade got the job done as well. Evened out the edge of the hole with the screwdriver :p
I guess if I need to drill small holes for wrist watches, the glass screwdriver would help too.

I just learned to craft a hook from a can tab today. All I need is the wire cutter and the pliers to bend the ring over
Haven't tried it but people said it can be used for fishing in case of emergency, looks a bit flimsy so maybe it's ok if you just want to catch small fishes. In case I don't actually use it for fishing I will just use it to hook mosquito net lol. :D

A Crunch and a Dual Force to put the legs onto a second hand table to be used as a garden workbench.

The Crunch was much better for the job, gripping well both locked and unlocked. Shorter handles were a bonus too.

Used the Skeletool to open and repair an old laptop. The wi-fi card was'n working on it and had to replace it. I've tried reinstaling the drivers, a fresh windows installation and drivers and it wasn't working.  So I put another one in from my collection of broken laptops, it showed up in device manager but refused to work too. It just said failed to start and that was it. Different windows versions, different drivers, nothing worked. Plugged the old one back in and - Oh, a miracle - it started working  :o :rofl:
Used the occasion to clean the ventilator and radiator and to put a new thermal paste on the processor and video card. Skeletool was used for everything besides 3 tiny screws on the ventilator housing.

Had an issue at work where other mechanics work. They asked for my assistance. Its a labeler that applies big labels to USPS tubs. After trying to make adjustments, still wasnt rolling the labels properly.

I switch gears, feel the top of the applying pusher (known as a tamp pad). Its a little bit rough,  maybe labels are catching it. Grab the Sidekick, pull out the mini file and make it smooth. Start it up and works. Leatherman to the rescue.

Wednesday will be our late-Thanksgiving-early-Christmas-Lunch at work, and I will be bringing "Guineitos en Escabeche" (pickled/marinated green bananas). The Signal's in charge of cutting off, peeling and cleaning the bananas...(quasi outoor-sy, eh!?!?). The need for gloves (and a deep clean afterwards of the tool) is due to the gummy/sticky "resin", as seen on the blade!!! (If it were on a garment it will be forever on it!)

Today had the opportunity to use the Wave+ 1/16 hex bit, scissors, pliers, and file on various things in the lab. No action shots.
   [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Had the most “fun” building some impromptu “compass” out of binder clips for my class. Our box of calipers and compasses, which of course are bought for this course, are missing.  :rant: I suspect they are in storage and not properly labeled. Of course I didn’t properly plan ahead and look for them  :facepalm: Anyways bent the clips with the Wave pliers.  These were used to approximate distance on a brain atlas between clusters of cells. Used the ruler on the scales to make a rudimentary legend. Worked out well enough. These are some examples I made in my office after class when I had time to take pictures.

There’s many days I don’t get around to taking a picture of something, but today felt like a day to do it.

Grabbed a hot steamer basket (reenactment here, not going to burn myself trying to get a photo!)

Still waiting for my sidekick knife to dull. I cut anywhere from 2 to 20 belts a night to replace. Still holding pretty sharp after a few months.

Since the Signal is riding along, I figured it only made sense to test out its awl. It took a while, but it did go through the leather. The Signal's awl was used to make the lower hole.

Too much time has passed, so I can't edit my previous post. But I put the wine cabinet together today. The screwdrivers were used quite a bit. Some of the holes in the wood pieces were not drilled out very well, so I used the Signal's awl to fix them. Of course, I needed the drill near the end of the project. :twak:

Had an interesting call to one of our machines. This machine sorts (and refaces envelopes) all while putting barcode on front, ID tag on back (the orange one). So they say theres a plastic bag wrapped around a roller. Now, this one zigs and zags 100 times and made it 75% of the way through.

Anyway.  Sidekick came to the rescue with the blade and cut it off. Job well done.

Yesterday I posted in the SAK use thread about using my Explorer to fix a bracket on a chair seat. Today I sat down and it wobbled and another screw fell out.  After cursing myself for not just checking all the dining room chairs last night, the kiddo and I got to work.  All 6 chairs he helped flip over and check screws/bolts. He “helped” drive screws and bolts and is getting pretty good getting purchase on the head, nothing stripped at least.

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Used my Electrician to bore a new starter hole to move the bracket for all stripped seat screws.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Then ratchet action. Tightened a few not yet stripped. 4 per chair.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

More ratchet action to tighten all hex bolts.  12 per chair

My Wave+ did a fantastic job of trimming the ends of my new guitar strings.  In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever used anything other than a Leatherman to cut the dangly ends off of new guitar strings.

Wishing you all a happy weekend   :hatsoff:


I've repaired a door bolt latch thingy today with the ST300 doing most of it. Looks like it wasn't installed very well in the first place. And while the door warped over time the stress on it grew. So it moved and bend out of position and the slim sheet of wood cracked. Maybe something else happened too here  :think:

Pliers were used to bend it into form again and to assure all is back in place...

(https://i.imgur.com/RkBW4xR.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/xdacuEv.jpg)

Some wood had to be removed to make it sit flush in...

(https://i.imgur.com/9CQU18U.jpg)

Now I needed an idea how to improve the stability of it because gluing the wood back on and using new screws would not be enough I thought. Luckily I found a spot at the latch where I could pass a screw through without blocking the mechanism. Holes were drilled and a suitable screw found...

(https://i.imgur.com/uLhTDWa.jpg)

Glued the wood back together...

(https://i.imgur.com/mxzNPT2.jpg)

Screwed it all in...

And it works....   :woohoo:

Moving time! I wasn’t a member here, nor did I really ever think about documenting my uses, when we moved into this condo (or when I split time and moved between here and my work apartment). Now that we’re moving out, I’m reminded of all the things I used my Wave kit to setup as I’m using it to tear down. 

Full setup while we move, but only used the Wave so far today on the furniture.

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

We put together a number of pieces from IKEA, and most had to have a tip kit installed. An example here is this 7ft tall book shelf I dismantled.

Tools used: pliers to pull the pins on 2 kits as well as some stubborn pegs and throughout, LM and 711L ratchet drivers with P2 and 4mm bits on the tip kit and bookshelf screws, LM PZ1 and 4mm slotted on book shelf screws, serrated blade to cut the bubble wrap.

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Bonus holster shot. Best LM sheath in my opinion for the pliers-thru slot.

I needed a "third hand tool" to steady my lighted magnifer, to perform a nib inspection and tune up. Its 2100 hrs here and no shops are open or noises allowed that might bother neighbors so, what to do?; get the Surge, ratcheting driver, small holesaw, and a scrap piece of PVC board and... presto!

Switched some screws for longer ones to secure the bathroom door hinge at my Mum’s house.

This should keep it in place until I can get up again and do a proper job.

Found some suitable replacements in one of the jars of odds and ends in the garage, souvenirs from my Dad’s forty years of never throwing away anything that might come in handy.

I’m going to mix things up here… did not use my Leatherman today, except the bottle opener. 

This is important because we went to a Labor Day party. Usually there’s a kids toy that needs fixing, or some other random thing like a can opened or loose cabinet screw, maybe even just cutting some skewers for marshmallows.  Not today, zilch.  We all know had I not brought it, the world would’ve ended.

Slicing up a memory foam dog bed to fit into the wheelie bin this morning.

He’s an old boy now and has the occasional “accident “, and there’s no easy way to wash these foam pads.

The Free P2 blade cut through it effortlessly to the depth of the blade, of course.

Changed tires for my car yesterday. I had a 2 ton jack to lift the car. There is a small knob that you are supposed to twist with the end of the lever arm to descent the car. With the lever arm it's at least challenging to control the descent and I've had previosly one close call with the car dropping too fast. As I remembered the incident I also remembered the pliers on my Curl on my belt and used them instead. I got great and slow control this way and changed the tires safely!

The best use!

Used my Crunch to open the box of a new Leatherman.

I think they’re going to be friends.

Quick update on my ARC - I tried it out on a strand of coated chain link fencing wire this morning, as I do with all my new tools.

It cut it easily enough, but didn’t seem to enjoy the experience…

Disappointing, at least you can fit some decent cutters to it. A chap on reddit hardness tested these cutters at mid fifties rc iirc. The previous cpm ones were low 60s.

Myself and mini-me undertook a build your own robot toy affair that required judicious use of both a pst and sideclip (which he prefers) . The finished bot looks and walks like the robots from Silent Running if your old enough to remember that flick.

Used my Juice XE6 saw to cut a stick to hold the sheep feed box lid up.

Window broken by falling branch during yesterday’s wind. Well replace the window once it’s warmer outside. For now it’s board up with some insulation.

Used modded Wave to cut the board and hold nails.

Now for a beer. It’s a great can opener but terrible cap lifter

Today i used Rebar for fixing my car (again) noticed also that Wingman flathead can be used on sockets,  offcourse i dont recommend using it for too tight screws.

I have been using my Rebar at work constantly lately.  Demoing a construction site I used the Rebar to cut wire, remove wall plates, cut ceiling ties.  I have been really impressed with how tough the Rebar is.   :multi:

January has been all about unpacking and installing shiny new screens, projectors and such. It's not exactly what they pay me for but I don't mind! Skeletool, bitkit and headlamp see a lot of use.
