Today I used my Evo16 to open several paint tint cans that had old-fashioned lids.  I also used the scissors to cut coupons for customers, the awl to drill a small hole in some wood to demonstrate a touch up product, and the large screwdriver/bottle opener as a light prybar and to open cans with pop-off lids.  Same thing my SAK gets used for every day at the store.  A lot of times my multi is in my bag as back up, and I'm glad it's there.  But the SAK sees more use than anything.  :tu:

I use them every day. Today I had to sew my iPhone leather case (the strap teared off). I used a curved needle and thread I keep in my auxiliary Victorinox seath, the scissors and pruner to cut and trim the thread and the pliers to push the needle through the leather many times. For the time being I didn't have to use the magnifying lens in order to put the thread in the needle hole. Yet!

May I suggest the fish scaler tip for scratching also? It is long, double ended and safe for the skin. One can use the scaler edge for the limbs, as it covers a large area, it is ergonomic anatomically for arms and legs, has many tips providing sensory input and remains very safe.

Celebrated Christmas with my side of the family today. The pioneer got a workout: the blade was used to open many packages, the can opener tip to open battery compartments on my neice and nephew's toys and the awl was used to cut through the zip-ties holding the toys captive in their boxes.

I expect more of the same with my wife's family tomorrow

Merry Christmas! :cheers:

Awl for zip ties? I didn't thought of that. I'll try it.
This thread will be a good reference for use of the various tools.
Today I used my XLTs pliers to straighten the springs (scissors and pliers) of my wife's Cybertool 34. Then I used the sharpening stone to fix the scissors. Apparently she cuts wire with it and she made dents everywhere. I must instruct her for using the plier's wire cutter.
The corkscrew is going to be used shortly. Merry Christmas everybody!

Used my Electrician and Compact SAKs for opening gifts on Christmas.  Also used the small sheepsfoot blade on the Electrician to open a makeup container for my wife.  That blade is great for precision cutting, and it's very useful in general I've found.  Also used the bottle opener on the Compact to pop the tops off a couple Sam Adam's Boston Lagers last night :D

No, they can't be fixed easily, those are rectangular drains, they are a little bit longer than they are wide, so the grates can't be rotated into a safe position.  I do regularly rotate the square ones though.

Hope you weren't hurt too badly when you crashed.

Over the last week or so, I used my "cranberry scaled" Huntsman to open many bottles of beer and a bottle of wine or two.  :drink:

My Classic came in handy for opening the battery compartments on a couple of the wee feller's new toys.  :D

Last Sunday the saw on my Swiss Tool deftly cut a stubborn tree root that got in the way while I was digging a grave for my aunt's dog. RIP Tim.  :(

Today my Hunstman was used to fix a zip on my wife's suit case and take apart one of the babby's toys for cleaning.

KTesh, when I said rotate round I meant during the actual design/production phase, not when they are installed. As you said their shape stops them from being rotated once made.

I used the saw on my OH Forester to score a section of stucco so I could demo it without taking the rest of the wall with it. It wasn't ideal, but I didn't have access to power for the sawzall yet, and it made just enough of a groove that a hammer and flat bar could break cleanly the rest of the way through.

I also used the Forester's big beefy bottle opener/screwdriver to pull out a bunch of staples that the hammer and flat bar just couldn't deal with. The stronger prybar-style screwdriver was worth the price of admission all on its own.

That poor Forester sure takes a beating, but that's what it's for.

Oh I understand guys, I was just breathing life back into this thread :D  I use mine at least a few times a day, and sometimes just pull one out to fiddle with for a bit, just for the fun of it.  And yes, that pruner blade is awesome.  It's one of my favorite SAK implements :tu:

This thread is only a couple weeks old at six pages :think: Not exactly dead :think: Oh well :salute:

Used the scissors on my Climber today to cut paracord. I made my own zipper pull strings for my Camelbak BFM pack. The pack had black strings with the black plastic ends. I changed the cord to yellow and kept the plastic end :tu: I like the black and yellow, of course, plus I can see the pulls in low light conditions as well :tu: So, it's a win-win deal that's multi-functional :tu: I'll post image(s) from my phone in a bit :think: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I used the electrician's blade to remove my Minichamp's Cellidor scales (worked perfectly) and installed the Transluscent light blue ones lowtech was kind to donate me. Then I used the smaller Hex Cybertool bits to disassemble the emergency knife I bought. And the usual stuff (cut my nails, some cords I used as lanyards etc).

Used the large screwdriver on my Pioneer Rancher to take out the large screw holding the drain cover in my bathtub so that I could pour some Liquid Plumbr in. 

I also use the end of the corkscrew to clean under my nails as I never use it for wine bottles.  I figured I could find some kind of use for it:)

Try some tight knots, especially on nylon bags.
And keep your fine screwdriver there!  :)

I've seen some of you mention the knot thing, but I've yet to have the chance to try that.  I do keep the fine screwdriver in there as well.  It looks better with the screwdriver in there, so it looks like it has more purpose :)

You kinda whittle them away. Using the edge, start a split on a long nail, and either whittle up, or push cut as far as you need. I've done this on my toenails in the past, when I didn't have clippers. Also, nose hair trimming with my Classic's scissors, and cuticle maintenance with a SAK's small blade.

getahl explained it well, I just push cut from the outer edge in towards the centre "with the grain", then repeat from the other side. I don't whittle them as such. It's only unsafe if you have a dull knife, and then you deserve whatever you get. :D

I actually think it's safer than scissors, as you do a controlled cut all the way. If you have a nice and really sharp blade, it isn't even necessary to cut from each edge, then it's just a single, smooth cut from the first edge.

I didn't use it today as such (we have heavy rain these days) but I have used my Swisschamp's lens (old type) as an eyepiece with my 12" f/5 telescope. It had neither the apparent field of view nor the correction or coatings of my Naglers, Delos or ES100s but it is an excellent planetary option. After all I know people that use ball BaK7 lenses for planets. It is also MUCH cheaper and lighter and readily available.

Used the file to grind down my toenails (Damn Onychomycosis) (I'm now on Terbinafine, so hopefully this use will end).  To add insult to injury, I decided to sanitize my knife by giving it a quick dip in 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol...  It attacked my brand new scales.  I've now got a set that looks years old, and has some nasty looking scratches on it.

To neutralize the effect of the alcohol, I'm now soaking it in hot water with dish soap.

I installed a new door lock in my office. The problem is that the 30 years old one and the new one weren't compatible. So I had to use many tools of my XLT; straight driver, Philips driver, chisel (a lot, to carve wood), blade, metal file (to widen the metal hole), awl (to clean old paint and note where the screws would go), pliers, scissors (to put a temporary paper and mark the placement of parts) etc. The only other tool I used was a hammer.
The job is amateurish and needs a professional worker but for now it works. It was a SAK party!

I almost forgot! I also used my Minichamp's cuticle pusher as a scraper to remove the black paint from my electronic cigarette's battery. It is over a year old and full of scratches. Now it has a nice genuine chrome metal color. I did the same two months ago to another battery with the bottle opener's screwdriver but I felt using that tool that us still questing the reason of its very existence. It worked perfectly, removing the paint without scratching the surface of the metal and now it is promoted to "Gentle Scraper with Oak Leaves".

Cut off the ends of a severed plastic tie-down (about 4"/side) that someone had wrapped a young tree with (to support it after being freshly planted).  The tie-down was overgrown, and is permanently incorporated into the branch of a tree.  With the extra removed, it should be able to heal over the tie-down in a few years.

I fixed the fax (and faxed). I used Posidrive 1 with my XLTs Cybertool after I found my Spartan's can opener's driver incapable to unscrew some screws. The space was cramped for the short plain Philips and I couldn't rotate the huge XLT inside, but the long Cybertool stem was perfect for the job. A screw fell inside a tight space and I fished it with my magnetised fish scaler. Then I bragged about my XLT to my colleagues, once more!
I magnetised the fishscaler on Saturday with a powerfull pair of magnets I use as a counterweight for my 12" Dobsonian telescope. I got the idea from the SAK Handbook by Mr Young. I couldn't imagine I was going to use it so soon!
I also put 2 long needles (one sharp, one fat) under the Saw and Fishscaler space. I aslo magnetised them to stay in place. I intend to use them as needles (regular and sacking), as cleaning aids for the SAK itself and as a "marlinspike" (I allready used one to untie a stuborn knot).
One can put a regular needle under the hook also. I decided that the long and thin needle will do for me, but you can do it for SAKs without Saw and/or Fishscaler tools.

Now I see where the big cats hang out at.  :D

Yesterday:
  Opened a can of stir fry veggies for dinner. Debated on the can openers to use, but decided to use the Charge TTi's as was missing the American version of can openers. The can must of been some cheap smurfin' metal as the Leatherman can opener left spurs of metal all around the outer edge. So as I was rotating the can I ended up being pierced with three pieces of metal.

  Found two, pulled them out with the tweezers from my Climber. The third was too small to see, so needed a magnifying class to find the bugger. Got it out. Never underestimate a great pair of Swiss tweezers.

  Got to play with an official Vic pin, and the pen too. They came in the mail.

  Am finding myself grabbing my Climber more and more. Next time a can needs opened am grabbing the Climber for its Swiss'pawed can opener.


Today:
  Aunt brings over a couple of bags of apples & oranges to share with us. BIG delicious smelling oranges, and they were like super cold too. As am carrying them in I swiped one.  :angel:

  Thanks to the Vic SAK tool springs I barely have any thumb nails left to use. Rather than cut the orange up and make a bigger mess, decided to instead peel its cold hard skin .... with .... the Bottle Popper!

(http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Swiss%20Army/DSC02062_zpse5cdc622.jpg)

  That odd looking orange peeler on some former SAK gave me that idea - initially. And... it works great!
  Now if I can get my thumb nails to grow back and become stronger, thicker, better...  :D

Used my Climber to open a package from Lowtech of Germany. Which contained some much needed watch parts, and used Spartan.  :D

And used the Spartan's small blade to help scrape some of the red substance off of a tough tagua nut piece. Not sure how to get that red material off. Trying white vinegar but doesn't seem to be working.

I used the Cybertool for the first time on the D- Subminiature connector of a video projector. It works as a charm and both ways! A screw was stuck on the male cable and it's male threaded part fits inside the Cybertool's stem. So I unscrewed it and screwed it back in place where there wasn't much space left for fingers. Although we had such a tool for 10 years now it is the first time I used it as such and not struggle foolishly with my big and clumsy hands.

Haven't had the need for any of them yet today though.

  Using the Climber's main blade I cut up some fresh yellow onions, peeled and sliced some small potatoes, and opened a can of Glory Olde Fashioned Blackeyed Peas. Fried the taters and onions with some light canola oil, and heated up the blackeyed peas. Grabbed some bread, and walla! Dinner is served.

  Stared at my transparent blue scales and wondering if my wood scale project is going to be overly complicated.

  Also wondered why there was never a multitool with an angle/inclination meter on them. Even the clear scales could have a simple metal needle hanging inside from a pivot point, with the common degree markings on the scale.
  Victorinox Swiss Developers aren't that imaginative I guess.  :rant:

  Early this morning used the can opener screwdriver end to push & guide a coil spring back into the end of its handle of an older caliper. Also cleaned the caliper of old grease, followed by oiling the moving areas. The back L part of the can opener I pressed down and into crevices. Pulling it backwards removed some old grease around the knurled & threaded areas.

  After taking a shower was time to trim the big toe nails. One nail side broke off in the process of pulling it out. :ahhh Wenger SI's awl helped me lift up the stubby nail trimming just enough to grab it with the Leatherman PST. Toes sure feel better. Always use the PST for nail trimming duty as they get into tight areas and have great gripping ridges.

  Mouse wheel was misbehaving. Took it apart, and just realizing when typing this out that had forgotten having a Phillips driver on the S557. (http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Xemoticon/hitsself_zps7b6899b3.gif) Anyhow some hair & dust somehow got inside over the past 5+ years.
  Cleaned that mess out and adjusted the wire clip the mouse nubs roll over on. So used the pliers for something real finally. Wished the pliers met with more precision, as the heel-end of the plier jaws make contact first. Could not use the pliers for pulling the hairy rat's nest out.

  Did use the awl to poke another hole in my belt. Took a lot of pressure and ended up breaking the leather on the other side. So used the Climber to clean the hole up, much better. Not sure what the purpose of a dull square nail does for an awl ... so took the Spyderco TASM out and used the square grooves to sharpen the four corner edges. Should work a lot better now.

Used the Pioneer's knife to cut a couple threads off my daughter's coat.  The one thing I feel that's really missing from my Pioneer (and Alox models in general) is scissors.  However, I'm finding that a knife blade does a lot of what I actually use SAK scissors for.  The only thing I could see needing scissors for is cutting paper, and I will have my new Micra to handle that task (once it arrives).  I have found the scissors to be one of the tools I use the most, but I really wonder just how much I need them, or if a knife blade is really all I need.

Tried out the 84mm combo tool on can opener duties whilst making chili yesterday. Opened seven cans pretty darn easily - was quite surprised!

I like the combo tool much better than the dual openers. Saves a layer, and works better than the dedicated bottle opener for beer opening (it's primary usage for me  :D ). Only thing I miss is the phillips-ability of the can opener.

Kind of thinking about getting a Lumberjack. Are the 84mm saws useful at all, or too short to be of real use?

I haven't been carrying a SAK with scissors or my Micra at all in the past few weeks.

I have to say, I don't really miss them at all. A properly sharpened blade does almost everything that scissors do.

  Lubricating the Rockhopper & chain, flipped it over and decided the brake levers engaged at an uncomfortable grip. So back the tension knob out got a nice grip on both, then notice the right level was a bit loose.
  Sure enough! Good thing I found this when I did, the nut was holding on by a few threads. Pulled out the Wenger S557 and the universal wrench was just big enough for that nut. Tightened the allan bolt in with the S557 holding the nut.


  Oh, if you are wondering how I take self shots, use a 10 second timer on my Sony Cyber-Shot along with a Gorillapod (http://joby.com/gorillapod). That tripod is probably used as much as any of my multitools.

  Took my bicycle in to Eastern Oregon Cycles (http://www.eocycles.com/) to get the new curved handlebars installed. Joe seen some minor maintenance fixes and took care of them, and loaned me a Bontrager Gel+ saddle to try out. Not overly fond of borrowing things from other people, but $200 for a Brooks is out of my affordability.

  Got home, swapped saddles, adjusted my levers & shifters. As I was tightening other bolts just happened to notice the saddle spring was loose. I do not really think it is a spring, but more of a bushing. So was sliding my tri-allan up the bushing hole and wasn't getting any bites. Looked up the hole with the Third Eye mirror, Phillips driver!
  Whipped out my Leatherman Charge TTi phillips driver and for some reason it was not connecting inside. Not sure what the deal was, so pulled out the S557's phillips and it slid right on in. Was short enough to work around the luggage rack, and it had good bite. Nice square shape helped me tighten them phillps down - no more loose saddle.

  The S557 does come in handy at times. Do wished the universal wrench opened at 3/8" though, instead of 5/16". Second time I had used the S557 phillips driver in the last couple of days.

I use my SAKs everyday but today my XLT was used many times. After the weekly manicure I fixed the audio system in my car. I used it to strip cables and cut duct tape with the Electrician's blade. The second time I did major work with it (after installing 5.1 speakers at work) and it is a perfect tool.
Earlier I cut a stick from a bougainvillea pot in two, in order to fit in the car.
For some clamshell packs I used my Minichamp's cut n' picker blade, because it is the best for that purpose, although the pruner can do the same job with ease.

I dont know if you can see it in the pic but it was a big thick roll of a couple of meters.

Now can anyone tell me why i stoped in an emergency to take a pic to upload it here afterwards  :think:  :rofl:

Remembered that i had a big roll of window wire screen (i dont know how to say this properly) and used the metal saw on my ranger 90 to cut a smaller piece, it made short work of it and managed to cover the drain in time  :tu:

I dont know if you can see it in the pic but it was a big thick roll of a couple of meters.

Now can anyone tell me why i stoped in an emergency to take a pic to upload it here afterwards  :think:  :rofl:

The Champ, obviously, because it is beefier.

Last night I used the backside Phillips on my s18 to take all the screws out of a wireless optical mouse, and the file to pry it open and take out the smaler screws holding the insides...in. Then I removed the worn-down on/off slider switch. bored a small hole in it, then used the Phillips to thread a small screw into the button to give it a more 3-D profile. Finally, I put it all back together. Now the mouse's owner can reach the on/off button again.

I admit I needed my Wave to shorten the screw so it wouldn't clear the button and bore right into the circuit board on the other side.

The troughs and planters I bought recently for my garden often didn't have drainage holes in them, so I've been drilling holes in the bottom as I go, usually with my Spirit X (excellent awl). Today I had to drill another, but didn't have the Spirit to hand so I reached in my pocket and pulled out my Swissbuck Sidekick (Wenger Traveller variant). I didn't bother trying to use the punch as they're no good for drilling, but the can opener worked a treat  :tu:

So i needed to change my curtain strap roller (dont know how to say this properly). Bought a new one, grabed my ranger from the sheath, took the two phillips out using the bit screwdriver and ready to replace... except the new one has a shorter distance between screws  :doh:

(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/disployer/SAM_0296_zps150f990f.jpg) (http://s22.photobucket.com/user/disployer/media/SAM_0296_zps150f990f.jpg.html)

So i could just put one screw but thats not a good idea on the long run, my power drill is currently lost under a pile of a lot of things while im remodelling my patio, so i was ready to postpone the job when i remembered how nice the new awl was for drilling a piece of wood a while ago. But can it handle a wall?  :think: lets give it a try at least

So first try on puncturing the wall, success

(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/disployer/SAM_0297_zps57ed2538.jpg) (http://s22.photobucket.com/user/disployer/media/SAM_0297_zps57ed2538.jpg.html)

Now lets try and rotate it and see what happens (the actual twisting motion required a firmer grip than what the photo shows)

(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/disployer/SAM_0299_zps3529fe82.jpg) (http://s22.photobucket.com/user/disployer/media/SAM_0299_zps3529fe82.jpg.html)

After twisting till the whole awl entered the wall took it out and found out why it drills so easily, the hollow part on the side is great for accumulating material preventing jamming-tearing

(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/disployer/SAM_0300_zps9691467c.jpg) (http://s22.photobucket.com/user/disployer/media/SAM_0300_zps9691467c.jpg.html)

Now thats a nice hole for the screw

(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/disployer/SAM_0301_zps70b356d5.jpg) (http://s22.photobucket.com/user/disployer/media/SAM_0301_zps70b356d5.jpg.html)

Finished using just the ranger

(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/disployer/SAM_0303_zps26f0fe7e.jpg) (http://s22.photobucket.com/user/disployer/media/SAM_0303_zps26f0fe7e.jpg.html)

Things got a bit messy in the process but it was worth it  :D it wasnt the awls fault though..

My new small Tinker did all of the usual things my SAKs do at work-open packages, open cans, a bit of prying... Today though I got a call from a friend of mine.  Two weeks ago he'd gotten his first SAK, a 91mm Tinker.  He called me all excited that he was at a friends' apartment and a Phillips driver was needed for something.  His buddy couldn't find one, but there was the Tinker in Jim's pocket!  :)  Now he wants me to teach him how to open cans with it.....

Used the Phillips driver on the Tinker to tighten a drawer handle. I don't think an in line driver would have worked on this one, so the back tool was perfect.

Kind of at the edge of SAK plier usefulness since there is not much leverage with them. Worked though.

Broke down about a dozen cardboard boxes, taking them to the dump soon. Vic Deluxe Tinker has a mean edge to it.
Also sat with it a while and played with it like a large worry bead. Something very soothing to turning it over and over. Can't get the same feeling from a Leatherman or other multi, no matter how much I appreciate them in other ways.

Used the flat head to unscrew a zippo lighter to pop some new cotton wool in it.

Indeed! Opening a coconut with a Swiss Army Knife is one of life's great joys. Or at least it should be.

Today my s18s saw ripped a 2' piece of 3/4" plywood in half when the skill saw gave up on life. Good thing that was the only cut I had left,  because it was sloooooow going.

Oh I could ship one overseas to you, and all I'd ask in return is just a Spirit RT :pok:

Yesterday I used my Climber for some light duty carving to creating a dowel end in the correct size.

A couple of days I wanted to use my Classic to cut off one of those plastic pieces that is used to bunch up computer cables. The small scissors is just the right size for doing this. Of course, my employer forbids me from carrying a knife or using any tool that they do not provide.

Yes I am lame.

I christened the saw on my new 2013 Soldier with G10 kit in a flower bed. It worked great to get low like I needed.  I could not bring myself to close the shiny knife with the dirty saw. so I clipped it on the outside of my pocket until I could bring it inside and clean the saw.  Then took this quick, somewhat crappy, picture.

I'm liking the G10 conversion kit, I plan to convert another couple of knives when I have some time (BO Trailmaster for sure).  It's a little weird having the clip on the top scale, but it seems to work OK.

I supect that these scales can't be reused as easy without glue because of the properties of the G10 being harder and more britle I think it is best to leave these attached once placed into position, but this is just speculation at this point.  Definetly need a vice or a hammer to set these ones on.

The G10 is nice and grippy.  It's not quite as grippy as my G10 Leek (which I love), but it seems to have a similar feel just more subtle.

This one is a new addition to my carry/work knives so I really wanted a good clip as it makes it easier for me to carry the 111mm in my pockets or packs. The shield on the clip is a really nice touch.  The clip is not as strong as I thought it would be, but with the weight of the knife it seems to work very well and should not damage any material it is clipped to.  The clip is screwed into threded metal inserts (like small t-nuts) embedded in the scales so it should be pretty secure.

Now i need to cut/grind the attachment point off.  If I was smart I would have done this before I attached the scales, but I was not thinking ahead far enough.

Here is a pic of me finishing the job a few minutes ago when I realized the 4 extra screws weren't actually spares :facepalm: :whistle:

I have two girls as well, but my first is 13 and the baby is almost 5 months now.  It's funny you should mention getting SAKs for when she's older as I got her the My First Victorinox toy for when she's a few years older ;)  My older daughter likes the little 58mm ones and I got her a Signature Lite, but she never uses it.  She just likes to collect little things I guess.  Who knows, she may find use for it when she's older.

I completely disassembled an old PC tower with my Cybertool 50. Mostly used the PH1/2 (most screws), an Allen (some screws) and a Torx bit (all HDD screws), the bottle opener for prying, the 5mm socket for the according screws, the pliers as a forceps (to fish some screws I dropped).
I realized the qualities of a good IT tool. It should be slim to turn in tight places, have the proper double bits and a LED light. So, Cybertool Lite is ideal (even the lens might be useful to examine something).
The XLT was somewhat fat but did the job.
The (aluminium?) rings from the hard disk are nice and luxurious keyrings.

Nothing special today, just used the small blade on the Sempach Climber to trim a plastic lid, it didn't close properly because there was extra material at the injection point.  I probably should have filed it, but it was a small enough piece that slicing it worked without cracking it.

I took apart a tape-gun (two Phillips) with the inline Phillips on an old modeler that just happened to be on the desk.  It worked OK but the driver is a little warn, and didn't seem to be the right fit.  Was going to try a newer wenger or Vic, but went for a regular screwdriver instead to reassemble, since they wer handy and I've been organizing a new toolbox/bag deciding what should be in or out, so need to spend time with those tools also.

Maybe you put them in the toaster a bit too long?  I find that it doesn't take more than a minute or so before they're heated enough.  Although I actually eat them untoasted for the most part, unless at home.  I agree that they are very hot though, even after a short time in the toaster.  Wow, talk about derailing a thread huh?  From SAKs to poptarts :rofl:

I just used the toothpick from my Yeochamp to fish a poptart crumb out of my keyboard here at work.  Perhaps that's why we're not supposed to eat/drink near them ::), but that's just about impossible imo.
What kind of poptart? :pok:

Brown sugar and cinnamon :tu:

I like those but they make me thirsty.

Yeah, they're one of my faves.  I have a package of poptarts and a cup of coffee here every morning just about.  Not the healthiest breakfast I suppose, but tasty :D

Jailbird,
I don't think I've ever heard of or remember watermelon poptarts :think:  I don't see them in my area, but that means nothing as there are probably a few varieties availabe in more populated areas than mine.  Walmart has more than my local store, so I bet there's more in city areas.

Poptarts are a bloody menace!  Even after standing for half an hour the damned things are hotter than the insides of a fusion reactor!

It's no fun, peeling bits of the roof of your mouth for a week ...  :-/

Maybe you put them in the toaster a bit too long?  I find that it doesn't take more than a minute or so before they're heated enough.  Although I actually eat them untoasted for the most part, unless at home.  I agree that they are very hot though, even after a short time in the toaster.  Wow, talk about derailing a thread huh?  From SAKs to poptarts :rofl:
Naw... that's just the MTO way  :rofl:

That is true...I love this place :D

Today I used my huntsman to cut up chicken and used the spirit x to crimp sinkers and get a hook out of the mouth of a bass.

Got a steel sliver in my finger yesteday, couldn't get it out until in popped to the surface today.  I was standing, talking to my wife and put my hand on the door frame and felt a stab of pain on my finger and felt the steel sliver popped out.  Grabbed my Vic Spartan, took out the tweezers and pulled out the sliver.  Popped the Spartan back in my pocket and continued to talk to my wife. 

My wife looks at me and says, "That just makes you so happy doesn't it?  Using your SAK that you always carry."

Maybe should could tell by the smug look on my face.

Used the Mechaneer to fix the latch for our outside door.  The casing where the two screws were has become a bit weak and the screws had come loose, causing the latch to fall off.

Awl to start a new hole under each old one:

Phillips driver to screw the screws into the new holes:

Well, I used a SAK saw for the first time today with my Ranger at work, and not as the typical saw use.  There was a semi-heavy box towards the back of a bottom shelf in my supply room that I couldn't quite reach.  I could have reached it and pulled it towards me if I wanted to be boring about it, but I figured I'd try to use my new toy ;)  Then it popped into my head to use the saw as a sort of gripper.  So I struck the saw onto the back top edge of the box and pulled in, and to my amazement, it worked like a charm :tu:  Sorry no pic though.  I have to get better at having my cell on me whenever I leave my office just in case something comes up :twak:

Yeah, I handed it to the mrs to open a box or cut packing tape and i thought she was opening the main blade and she opened the saw instead. I about came out of my skin when I saw it and looked over at where it usually stays on the end table next to my chair. I thought I handed her the Swiss Champ or a Charge Ti.

Well it's definitely a great SAK, but if you have a Huntsman, there isn't a huge difference other than the metal file/chisel backtool layer and the small flathead backtool on the saw layer (I don't think the Huntsman has that :think:).  Not that something as trivial as that stops some of us ;)

I used a Climber to help open tools on my new Wenger Giant.  The Giant is not designed to have all its implements closed, so you can't always use your fingers to get them open if you do.  I think there is one blade that is designed not to be opened, but I have to look into that some more.

Yesterday I used my Minichamp to save the afternoon for a fellow who is a french horn player. He had loose a little piece of rubber in his instrument and had just a few minutes before he would need to play again. I had a few pieces of cork in my trombone case, so I used the blade to cut a small bit and used the small Phillips screwdriver to take two screws out and put the cork in place.

Then, a couple of hours later, a trombone player used the bigger Phillips screwdriver in my Vic Explorer to fix his trombone. Meanwhile, I also used the can opener to... Open a can of food for lunch :-) oh, and the main blade for fruit as always.

I've been using the Ranger's small blade for opening boxes here at work.  I originally thought the small blade was a redundant tool, but I've changed my mind.  I find it very handy to have a small blade like that for opening packages and anything like that.  It's nice to keep the main blade away from tasks like that in case I want to use it for food, which I've found myself doing more lately (probably as an excuse to use it ;)).

This was actually last night, but I forgot to post it.  I used the bottle opener on my Ranger to bend the hanging piece out more on the back of a picture frame so that it would better hang on the nail.

Today I used the measuring ruler on my Victorinox Minichamp to correctly identify a lot of small screws by their size. I was following a guide for laptop disassembling, and those little screws kept appearing. It was a lot easier by measuring them, as the guide specified the correct screw size at each step.

Actually, the ruler was one of the Minichamp's tools that thought I would rarely use, because it can only measure up to 3,5cm. But then there comes a moment where you need the tool and it's right there :-)

The Minichamp was indeed very used today. I used the ruler to push a little thing in a small space, and the cuticle pusher to spread glue in a laptop component (I cleaned it rapidly). Meanwhile, the tweezers of my Explorer Plus were used to collect some garbage from the inside of the computer (I could have used the Minichamp's tweezers, but I have replaced them with a toothpick).

The day ended with an orange being peeled with that odd blade of the Minichamp - is it a true orange peeler? What do you think? I guess the Executive orange peeler is more efficient at that task. Do you agree?

I would rate the minichamp as being the better orange peeler (even though it wasn't originally designed for this purpose). I worry about cutting too deep into the orange with the executive, so I have to cut slowly and carefully. With the minichamp, I think it's easier to just zip around the orange at full speed.

Well, the Minichamp blade slides very well through the orange skin, but then I think it fails a little but not having that head in the end to help lift the skin.

Wenger Ranger 14 to decapitate my sunflower for drying out, hack off the leaves and cut down the stem so it would go in the garden waste bin. Then same tool for removing the mangetout plants and hacking back tomato plants so they focus on the few remaining trusses.

Today I used the Phillips (combo tool) in my Minichamp to open a lamp glass cover. A fly was stuck between the lamp and the cover and there was a strange burning smell in the air. We discovered that it was the dead roasted fly...

I gave my Ranger's saw a try for the fun of it.  Worked great, but I can't say it was any better than the saws on my MTs.  Also used the toothpick today.  Corn on the cob can make those a handy tool;)

Remember your comments on the sharpness of the can opener when you got your first Wenger? Well it turns out the can opener -designed to cut metal- cuts very well and very deep into flesh. Now my Wenger catch and release is scaring me because its can opener is even sharper.

Well, while out today going around the neighborhood for garage sales, my wife was pulling her caboose wagon with her chair, as we turned the corner and started down another street she yelled up to me and I looked back there she was in the middle of the sidewalk with her wagon about ten feet behind her, oh great! Come to find out the little keychain hitch I made snapped, great now what? So I had to use my farmer to unscrew the hitch, used the kids carabiner to set something up and got the duct tape keychain roll and taped the carabiner so it wouldn't come undone, worked! Made it home while still towing! JR

It was the type of privacy lock that has a small hole in the center of the doorknob with the lock release button deeply recessed inside.  So, one needs something sufficiently narrow, long, and stiff to insert (gee, this is starting to sound dirty  :-[ ) into the doorknob to press the lock release button.  The tweezers fit the bill.

Used my Victorinox Minichamp to remove some Phillips screws from an unused toaster accessory. I had my kitchen sink flooded and I thought I needed some wire in order to fix it. I took the wire and bent it slightly. Then I inserted it though the pipe and tried to remove some junk.

I used the wire and that rubber thing (how is it called in English?), together with some solvent. It helped and now it's ok. I had no need to take the pipes apart, as I had last time :-)

Victordomingos, the rubber thing you are referring to is called a plunger.

Sounds like the minichamp saved the day for you. A minichamp was my first ever genuine SAK. I lost it unfortunately. That small Phillips was wonderfully useful, especially for computer work.

Haha, yeah, he should have had at least a knife on him considering what he has to deal with every day I would imagine.  I'm sure he has to do a lot of cutting tasks like that, so why not be prepared?  Luckily for him, I was kind enough to share ;)

I used the Philips on my Syph custom to swap my Kershaw Camp 10 scabbard to lefty carry. I haven't belt mounted it yet, but it could use a good sharpening. It had some back luck chopping some firewood.

Then I used the blade to cut things. There were strawberries, bananas, and they fell into some oatmeal.

What is a paring knife?

What happens in my kitchen is that most knives aren't very sharp, and I really like to have a knive than cut the tomato instead of smashing it :-) I sharp those knives all the time but then my wife tends to use them to cut bones, frozen food and all sort of hard things, and they get totally screwed again and again.

So, the only blades that never get spoiled are the ones i carry in my pocket...

I used the Ranger Plus's saw to cut down one of two young trees that was too close to the back side of our place.  They scrape against the window when it's windy, and make an annoying sound.  Here is a pic, though not that great quality due to the semi darkness at the time and whatnot.

Our toaster was short-circuiting, not working at all and the electricity would go down every time we tried to turn it on. So I was intending to use one of my SAKs to disassemble it and to fix it. however, it turn out that the solution was simpler than that and did not require a SAK: the metal thing that takes bread in and out was a little bent and was touching the resistance in one side, and you could easily bring it back with your hand, through the top of the toaster.

Actually I would have preferred to disassemble it and so on, but it wasn't necessary. And besides, even if I had to do it, I think none of my SAKs would be able to open it with good manners, because Kunft decided to lock it with triwing screws or something like that... :-(

By the way, are there any triwing bits for Cybertool?

It's actually a custom Alox, made from a Pioneer as the base, adding the Electrician's blade in place of the can opener, and adding a phillips driver and pliers.  I can't post a pic right now of all the tools opened, but will try to remember later if you would like.  It is a tough call on the can opener vs small blade though.  At the time I didn't view the can opener as all that useful, but I have more appreciation for it now.  However, I still am glad I went with that blade as it's very useful to me for a variety of tasks, and allows me to keep the main blade clean and sharp for food or just as needed for larger tasks.  There is also the pruner blade, which is nice as well, but I think the utility blade of the Electrician is slightly better (imo of course ;)).

It's a bit chunky, but I'd say that depends on your tolerance for SAK bulk.  It's just under 3/4" thick if I remember correctly, which sounds like a lot, but it's actually thinner than my other SAKs, the Ranger Plus and Yeochamp (another custom).  I will try to remember to post a couple pics of it from different angles to give you an idea what it looks like.  It fits nicely in my hand though.  I wish I had had scissors put in as well though, and I may have that done as soon as I can afford it.  That will add another layer of bulk, but it will be fine for me.  I hope you enjoy your Harvester :tu:  Let us know your thoughts once you have had some playtime with it.

I can tolerate a good bit of 'bulk' in a SAK. I've been known to throw my Swiss Champ in my RF pocket and take off with it. And besides, isn't it worth a little extra chunkiness to have pliers and all the other tools you're gonna need?

+1--I don't mind the extra bulk, to a degree, and I don't mind the redundancy either.  Much of the stuff on my SAKs is also covered by the MT I'm carrying as well, but I think it's a good thing to have extra options and backup just in case.  This is coming from someone who doesn't use his MT/SAK much each day, but this would apply even moreso to someone who would use their MT/SAK frequently in a day.  What's funny is I started off as more of a minimalist with SAKs, thinking I didn't need much more than a Compact to compliment my MTs.

I don't carry any actual flashlights like many here do (not sure if that's what you carry, or just the single LED keychain lights).  There is a single LED on the cap of my tac-pen, and my Yeochamp and Ranger Plus have Photon attached.  So at work I usually have two single LED lights on me, but my Mechaneer currently has the monkey fist attached, so only one light this week.  Despite the fact that I don't use all of this stuff every day, I like knowing I have options when a need arises :tu:

Supercool knife! Thanks for the pictures. It looks like it's a handy size - not too big not too small. And really useful tools.

Thanks :salute:  Yeah, it's really not bad, imo.  I know many prefer the slimness of the Pioneer/Electrician or Farmer even.  But as you can see from the pics, it's not too bad.  It's the same thickness as the EvoGrip 16, which isn't a big SAK really.  The Mechaneer's just solid is all.  It weighs 4.1oz (5.2oz with that monkey fist attached), while the Ranger Plus weighs just 4.2oz, even though it looks a fair amount larger. 

I look forward to your thoughts/impressions of the Harvester :tu:

My wife needed a knife to cut out a section of one of the ornaments she's been making recently.  I figured the utility blade on my Mechaneer would work well for what she said she needed to do, and it did :D

Works well.

If they get blunt, can the hacksaw part be sharpened?

Today, I used the small flat head driver on the end of the can opener to tighten up a set screw on a toilet paper holder in the bathroom. 

The day before yesterday, while conducting a counter-prostitution operation at work I used my Tinker extensively.  To provide additional safety to the UC Officer playing the role of an escort, all chain type locks on the interior doors of the hotel room needed to be removed.  The dead bolt also had to be disassembled and disabled on the adjoining room door.  I used the large flat head, small flat head and the Phillips drivers to do so.  The Tinker performed flawlessly.
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: afi1 on October 31, 2013, 07:20:00 PM
Oh, almost forgot...  Last week I used the Tinker to skin and clean two deer.  The main blade handled everything with ease, except for splitting the breast plate-  A Gerber Gator was used for that.

The work truck had a mirror that was loose so I used the combo tool on my Bantam to tighten up the Phillips screw - it worked really well.  The combo tool has a flat screwdriver but that fit neatly into the Phillips screw head.

I bought a new iPhone case and then I notice that I had a Griffin cable with a thick 30 pin connector that didn't fit through the small opening in the case. So, I used the small blade of my Explorer to trim the cable head a bit and the tip of the orange peeler of my Minichamp to scratch those cuts and make them smoother. I nearly destroyed the cable, but I think I stopped at the right time. It still does not fit, but know it charges ;-)

I used my OHMRT to cut some rope for my dad tonight as his knife was too dull.  It cut through it like a hot knife through butter, and he was rather impressed.  He said it looked like a nice knife, so perhaps that's a future gift idea.  I think he'd prefer a saw over the metal file though :think:

Had to improvise today! The lamp from Ikea that my gf had bought needed to be drilled into the ceiling, and that was too much of a hassle. So I used the metal saw and file on my CyberTool 41 to saw a hollow metal tea stirrer that we never use. It fit perfectly into the lamp, and I could hook it up to the ceiling with it. My gf was happy and I felt like Macgyver - win-win situation :D

Went to make dinner, needed a hamburger patty but 2 were partially frozen together and I just needed a little prying action to separate them. I had my Victorinox Ranger on my belt so I grabbed that and opened out the pry tool (the one that can be used as a cap lifter) - easily separated the 2 meat patties and used one to make my burger, mmmm burger!

I was just vacuuming, and part of the carpet that was coming apart got sucked up into it.  It wouldn't work after that, so I checked it and saw some carpet in the roller.  I used my Yeochamp's blade to cut it up and pull it out.  Still won't work, so something else must be wrong with it.

It does doesn't it?  I cut one the other day with my OHMRT.  I normally use the Rebar's serrated blade, and had been for a bunch of other boxes, and decided to give the OHMRT a try at it.  It easily and quickly sliced right through.  It was also one of those diaper boxes, so a bit more tough than normal cardboard.

But for me I probably used the tool as a cap lifter less than 10 times over the last decade, on the other hand as a screwdriver or a pry tool I've used it plenty of times.

Actually I believe it works better as a lightweight flat screwdriver and pry tool than as a cap lifter. As a cap lifter it sometimes takes a little trial and error to lift the cap out of the bottle, it seems to slip easily.

It was not today, but in the last few days. I have been using my Explorer and my Minichamp to open and regulate an 20 or 30 years old Lanco automatic watch. It was loosing a minute a day, so I thought maybe it was an easy task to make it move a little faster.

At first I was using the orange peeler to side pull the case back of the watch. That was a big mistake: it seemed to work, but I made some deep scratches in the surface. Lately, I have been using the Phillips screwdriver in the Minichamp to push and unscrew the case back. I works ok and there are less scratches.

I used both toothpicks, and also tried some of the pointy metal tools, to move the small levers in the watch movement. I must say, I nearly ruined that nice watch. I had no background knowledge in this whole watch thing, and none of the specialized tools that watchmakers use. For instance, I had nothing keeping the watch still and both hands free to work on it. So it was very difficult to move the little levers without touching the balance wheel or the hairspring. Then, right in the first time I moved one of the levers (I knew I should only touch one of them, as the other is related to isochronism and very difficult to regulate without a timing machine), both levers moved simultaneously. I tryied to correct it, but the result after a fee tries was a watch out of beat. It started loosing 2 minutes a day and, worse than that, it became prone to stop suddenly several times a day. I had messed up the whole thing and I just hoped that I had not broken the hairspring or bent the balance wheel.

Finally, yesterday, after spending the whole day thinking about paying a professional watchmaker to fix the sh*t I made, I decided to give it one more shot. I didn't have a timing machine, but I had my ears and a computer. So I got a microphone and started amplifying the sound of the watch movement. I used an audio editing software to make it slower, in order to make the time lapses a little more noticeable and tried to make the intervals more regular.

I managed to make it at least a bit more regular, as much as I could notice the difference by just hearing the tictac sound. I closed the watch one more time, and it has been running smoothly for a full night and a full day. It has lost about 20 seconds in a day. If it remains stable, I will consider that a success. and I promise I won't be touching again the guts of a wrissmurfch anytime soon :-)

Last weekend:

I used my Climber to fix my son's toy rocket.  It only required the strategic removal of a small amount of plastic to take the toy from total dud to fully functioning.

I also used my Cigar Cutter to punch cut several cigars.  It worked like a charm.

 :tu: Is that the Vic cutter, the one with the 3 different punches? If so, how do you like it? I'm very curious about that one. Though I don't punch cut my cigars too often, the Mrs likes the punch cut for hers so I may get this one for her Xmas stocking.

Yes, it is the Vic cigar cutter with the three different punches.  I've only used it a couple of times, but I really like it thus far.

Pros
+ Leaves a nice clean hole that isn't too deep
+ Requires minimal time and effort to use, and operation is almost foolproof (especially when compared with my previous usual method of using a knife blade to remove the cigar cap, which took more time and care to avoid buggering up the cigar)
+ In spite of being a bit thicker and heavier than its cousin the Vic Money Clip, the Cigar Cutter is still very pocketable
+ In addition to the unique cigar-cutting implement, it has the same main blade, nail file, and scissors as the Money Clip, so it also serves ably as a gent's knife or small companion to a larger SAK/MT
+ Three different size punches provide flexibility to accommodate various cigar sizes and or personal preferences
+ Unlike some other punches, there is no removable cap to come off or lose
+ Open-on-both-ends design makes it easy to remove the cut out from the punch
+ Typical Vic quality, F&F, W&T, etc.

Cons
- Price - I paid just under $50 for mine earlier this year, and think I got a pretty good deal considering Amazon now has them around $65.  This puts them on the expensive side for current production factory SAKs, but isn't bad when you consider that (1) it really replaces both a small SAK and a dedicated cigar cutter/punch, and (2) Vic has to recoup the cost of the unique cigar-cutting implement found only on this model.
- Not sure how well this (or any punch, for that matter) would work on a torpedo or similar-shaped cigar.  Of course, you could always use the main blade if you came across a cigar that wasn't amenable to punching for whatever reason and you didn't have a different style cutter handy.
- Sharpening the punches - Vic says they are "laser-sharpened".  I'm certain I don't have a laser-sharpener, and I'm not certain how much luck I would have trying to sharpen them with something else, e.g. ceramic rod.  If they do get dull, I think my only real option will probably be to send the knife to Vic, but I'm hoping it will be a long time before this becomes an issue.

In summary, if you think someone in your house will use it, I highly recommend picking one up.  It may even make a punch cutting convert out of you.

Thanks for the review Nate :tu: I don't know anyone that uses a punch on a torpedo or belicoso type cigar. I sharpen my punch cutters using a Smith's diamond rod or I'll send them to the manufacturer depending on the brand, like Xikar.

As much as I like the Hunter, I think the Rucksack is a better choice. However a non threatening serrated hawkbill like blade in a convenient EDC option was just what was needed at the time of the purchase, and it was up until a few months back. Still has a chance to recover though and I just need to add a P-51 can opener to it

Tonight me and my girlfriend had dinner at a "dining in the dark" style restaurant. You enter a pitch black room, where you literally can't see anything at all, and have a dinner served to you by blind waiters. You don't see the other guests, and you obviously don't see the food. It was a great experience, especially since the blind owner of the place (who was also one of the two waiters) held a small concert during the dinner. He had a great voice, and it ended up with everyone singing along together, and even some guests bursting into their own songs.

I used my Explorer to open up two bottles of water - there was a cap lifter somewhere on the table, but I chose to search in my pocket instead :whistle:

Went to a college (American) football game today, with tailgating both before and after.  As it turned out, the only bottle opener among ~10 people in our group was the one on my alox Soldier.  It got to the point that I was just dropping the knife back in my pocket with the bottle opener still open, in order to save the time that would have been required to open and close it each time it was needed.  It got quite a workout.

I used the Climber a bit ago during my lunchtime walk. We had storms and 35 mph winds this weekend. There were some yellow plastic police-line-style banners between some barricades in the parking lot here at work, and some of those were blown all over the place.

One of them was blown off of the barricades, and was half in a tree and half in the weeds, right across the walking trail.

Out came the Climber, and I cut that "police line" with the large blade. No need to pick it up, as it was still held fast by the tree and weeds. One of our facilities guys will clean it up when he cleans up the rest of the carnage, I'm sure. :)

Haha, what's so weird about trimming whiskers with the SAK scissors? :pok:  I think they are perfect for that, although the 91mm ones can be a bit big for some whisker trimming angles.  The Executive's scissors are great for this, and I would imagine the 58mm ones would be great as well :tu:  Trim away ;)

@kung, That's a very expensive Spartan...I Frankenstein'd one.

A tale worthy of being archived...

Car trouble, today my Master Craftsman helped replace my distributor cap, but wasn't the right tool for the rotor. Needed a 8mm ratchet.

Well it seems the task was greater then the tale...It was a pain in the butt.

Pretty much what I was getting at...

As a display piece, cool. But if you actually assemble it...you assemble it and it'll loose all it's value to the point where you might as well of just bought a regular Spartan.
But I can't knock another collector... just wont.

My son had a pumpkin, and he wanted the seeds out of it, well the wife grabbed a kitchen knife and it only scratched it, so I grabbed a bigger knife and it pretty much did nothing! So I went and got my farmer, poked it through and sawed it all the way around it! Hey it worked! So now the wife's got the seeds cooking in the oven, I'm not a seeds fan nor pumpkin, but it smells pretty good around the house! Oh and the saks clean, cause it got dirty, but it sparkles now! :D JR

This didn't happen today, but anywho, about a week ago, a girl at school asked for a knife so that she could cut some fruit. I was the only one around with a knife, a Vic. Camper.  :D

After I handed her the knife, she cut what she needed to cut, and cleaned the blade and handed it back to me, and we chatted a bit. It turns out she also sorta likes SAKs, and actually bought a Classic in Switzerland.  :)

Used the nail file in the Signature to "repair" a nail that got seriously split in half (all the way into the fingertip) and the Sportsman to make a sandwich for breakfast.

I had to do the same with the file (not really a nailfile though, it's a metal/wood file) on my OHMasterRT a couple weeks back.  I don't think I mentioned it here :think:  While I didn't split mine, I hit it off something on a table while reaching for something and it gouged a piece back.  I had to file it down a ways to smoothen/even it out.  The metal file doesn't make the best nailfile, but it does work in a pinch, and it chews the nail right down fairly quickly.  It did the job for me, and I'm glad as the nail would have driven me nuts if I hadn't been able to fix it.

Got my first SAK (Tinker) on this past Wednesday and have found it to be a superb apple cutter these past couple of days during lunch.   :)  This morning, while waiting for my car to warm up, I used the flat screwdriver to pry off a radio button that was sticking due to mysterious gunk that had somehow gotten behind it.  Cleaned it up and works like new! 

Here's the scary thing...it's been only 3 days since buying the first SAK, and I already own three!   >:D The Tinker, a Classic (given to my wife to replace the one confiscated by TSA a couple of years ago), and now a Super Tinker as well which will reside in my glovebox.  Let the addiction begin...

I had previously been carrying a LM Juice S2 as my EDC, but I think I'm going to move to my LM Micra on my keychain, and the Tinker in my pocket.  This will cover pretty much all my needs, as I rarely need pliers, and when I do I have a LM Wave in my car and a LM Pulse at my desk in the office.  Good to go!

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.

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

Took all of 4 days of being a SAK owner, but I finally managed to accidentally close the large blade on my finger.  Got hit by the last 1/4" of the blade tip, my left index finger preventing it from closing as I went into a mini-panic.  Opened the blade, extracted finger, only to find I didn't even draw blood.  I thought the Tinker blade was supposed to be sharp?!   :P

I had to set the calendar on my Swatch but its crown has grown very stiff for some reason that eludes me. It would have been a royal pain in the finger tips but the pliers made a quick job out of it, only adding a bit of character, read light scratches, on the plastic case.  8)

Built some giant Ikea closets today using the brilliant CyberTool 41.

And the saw came in handy to make perfectly straight cuts, and in the end I used the Soldier and it's main blade to fine cut a wood piece in the wall to fit the closet. The light came from the Huntsman Lite...

Parcel hook to the rescue! It was the perfect tool for the job. Later I used it to open some burning river ipas. Sorry no pics.

That stitching beneath the pressure button serves some purpose or is just for effect?

The serrated tip of the Soldier's combo edge makes light work of tape, brown paper and corrugated cardboard packaging.  Perhaps the majority prefer a straight edge tip with serrations nearer the handle, but the Vic configuration works very efficiently for this task.

Yes, that is 2.2 and 2.5mm brass rod.

Used the main blade of my Tinker today to cut open some fishfood packaging, the bottle opener for what it's meant, the toothpick for what it's meant and the big screwdriver to resize my ski-bindings.

Yesterday I used the Tinker's screwdriver as a prybar to dismantle a metal rack and the awe as a prybar to open the car's dashboard and reset the radio. Also used the Classic's main blade as a letter opener.

Well, I've been lazy and haven't posted in this thread in a while, so here are some of the more interesting things I've used my SAKs for lately (not all today):
- did a pretty good imitation of a church key opener on a can of tomato juice with the can opener on my Climber
- used the Climber's main blade to help my kids open the ridiculous number of presents they got for their birthdays
- used the Climber's corkscrew to loosen and ultimately untie a very tight knot my son put in his cape
- used the large flat screw driver and back side Phillips driver on my work Centurion to access and test a number of fire alarms
- used the can opener on my alox Soldier to open a particularly stubborn pistachio

Oh, olives.... Hmm yummy!
But why no toothpicks anymore? It's not like they are expensive or so..  Crazy what companies stop doing so suddenly, just because.

I think the knife could be too big for my fingernails. Does the executive still fit in my spectacles case, with my glasses IN?
Sometimes, when my fingernails have grown long, some part at the side of the nail splits off and I need to remove it. So I use the knife (not the scissors!) to cut it off like a surgeon. The scissors are already to bulky for that.
Before I got the classic, I used the small box cutter I have at work for that.

Today at the store, we needed to cut the lid off of a plastic paint can in order to draw a sample for a color match.  A breakaway utility knife did absolutely nothing to the lid, and my Needs Work was sitting on my bed where I'd forgotten it this morning.  :facepalm:  The awl on my SI, however, punched holes in it like nothing, enabling me to use the main blade to cut it away.  :tu:

I'll be using my Watchman's watch (stopwatch kind of sucks, no fractions of  a second and you have to hold it to start and stop it, kind of defeats the purpose) to see how long I jog my 2.5 mile hike in a nature preserve.

Just started jogging the whole thing a few days ago and I know I normally could walk it under 40 minutes, 35 with jogging some of it. So I'm guessing 30 flat or close with the full jog.

Oh it is :D  Taking a bunch of pics of it was fun too.  It's rather photogenic, and the lighting here at work is so much better for taking pics than at home.

Well, technically this wasn't today... it was  few days back.  But I had to replace a board in a piece of equipment. 

I used the scissors to snip out some wires that were being replaced with the new board.  I also used the scissors to cut some zip ties to remove the old wiring and get it read for the new. 

I used the various screwdrivers to remove parts (and of course replace them later).

I used the main blade to gently pry back some tape over a connector.  I then used the magnifying glass to get a good look at the connector to see if it was just slide in or if there are a minute latch of some sort.

I used the pliers to gently pull out the ribbon cable from the old board and then press it back into the new one.

I used the fish de-hooker to help slide some of cables through some narrow areas. 

And I used the flat head screwdriver in the bitdriver to 'push home' some of the connectors that were being a touch stubborn.

Ah, I see now.  I originally was going to have the can opener, then decided I'd rather have a secondary small blade as I find it quite useful.  However, I would rather had had the utility blade from the Alox Electrician, but decided not to spring for one as I already owned a Pioneer Rancher, which has the pruner blade.  I probably should have just sprung for the utility blade and it would have been that much more perfect to me :tu:

 :D  A happy coincidence that those were the labels that needed to be removed.  I figured you guys would catch that instantly.  A 3" 4-way scraper would have been a bit of overkill for the job, plus why open perfectly good merchandise when I already had a tool handy?

Yeah it's hard to decide.  I do the same, and end up with more layers than originally planned.  The Rogue is basically my perfect custom Alox.  I do wish I'd just gone ahead and paid the few extra bucks to have the Electrician's utility blade (which I do have on my Mechaneer, and possibly could have sent in with the other parts to have him put that blade on the Rogue and the pruner blade on the Mechaneer...hindsight's 20/20 as they say).  Honestly, the pruner blade is sufficient, and at one point I actually preferred it to the Electrician's utility blade, but I just like the shape and how it cut tape to open boxes at work.  It was better for making precise cuts too.  Anyway, I love The Rogue, and am super pleased to have gotten it made. 

As for how it ranks among my main SAKs, the Yeochamp, Explorer and Mechaneer...that's tough.  I could easily say it is and likely will be my favorite, but that could be the newness factor.  I am sure that the Mechaneer has been replaced as my favorite Alox though.  I may actually not even end up carrying it much anymore as I'm trying to limit my EDC lineups.  I actually think I may prefer my new Explorer Plus to my Yeochamp as well, but that could be because I got my initials engraved on the main blade.  Another factor in favor of the cellidor models is, as you mentioned, the scale and back tools.  I love the sort of total package of the cellidor models I have, but I can honestly say I rarely use the back or scale tools.  This makes my Rogue that much more likely to be my favorite due to it's smooth, sleek design.  It has all the tools I really want/need in a SAK, and it looks awesome in my favorite color scheme of black/red :tu:

Ha, easier said than done ;)  I could maybe do one a year during tax refund season, but I honestly don't need another one.  If I were to do anything, I would just swap that utility blade from my Mechaneer with the pruner blade from the Rogue.  That may be a cheaper job actually :think:

I won't let you kill my Rogue buzz 8)  Didn't know about that one though.  I actually would have gotten that if it was still in stock possibly.  I like the Rambler (don't own one though), and the Classic (do own one), but I would rather have the nail cleaner tip instead of the SD version.  I'm really not going to use a tiny Classic as a screwdriver, and the nail cleaner tip probably could have been used that way anyway :think:

SwissChamp had a busy morning at the club.

Scissors got used to cut targets,then the cap lifter got used to prise open 'scope mountings( why do BSA put sticky tape inside Thier scope mounts :rant:) then the whole knife got used as the weight on the end of a jerry built plumb line to line up a scope.

Back at the club house it got out on a play date with a Huntsman and a ruby Climber with Swiss scenic print.

Problem: i wanted to fit that key into de clip but the hole is to small

Solution: drill it with the ranger 90 awl, it took about 5 or 6 turns and the awl is capable of grinding very nice

Success! and the awl still (after some heavy use on my part) without a scratch

I found a new use for the cuticle pusher this week, on my MiniChamp!

Plucking staples out from paper sheets, envelopes etc.....

I'm very glad for this finding and would love to share with you guys, since here in the office it's common to "loose" the proper appliance for that for other people; and some of you might find yourselves in the same need.

I have tried several tools in both the Vic Explorer and the Minichamp for that purpose. For most staples I am sticking with that Minichamp's nail cleaner. The pointy tip helps a bit, especially with the smaller ones. I use it almost everyday at office.

I've found the can opener/small screwdriver tool on 84/91/93/111 mm Vics to be great for staple removal.  I think the best approach with this tool is to go at the staple from the back, inserting the flat Phillips driver into one side of the staple (with the back of the can opener facing out), and then rotating the tool to bend that side of the staple to perpendicular with the paper.  Repeat for the other side, then pop the staple out.  Hopefully this makes sense; it takes a lot longer to explain than it does to do.

My MiniChamp helped put a battery in my roomies key.  That philips is a great size for this type of task.  I carried my Tradesman and wow what a day.  I used the main blade to cut weather stripping from a door and cut some carpet that was just a bit too long.  Philips tightened several screws and the awl was used to bore a hole for a screen lock to fit.  Scissors was used to trim tubing for a water dispenser on a fridge.  Pliers was used for same tubing to pinch the collar to lock it in place.  I was busy today and the Tradesman never let me down.   I really need to stop and take pictures but I leave my phone in my truck so I dont have to answer it every darn moment.

I used the pruner blade on the Rogue to cut the thick plastic on a few 24 packs of water bottles for a bank sponsored event today.  I'm on the committee that puts this job fair on, so I had to be there most of the day to help.  Hence why I was absent from the site for the first few hours of my workday, in case anyone noticed ;) :rofl:
Thanks God ... (http://www.financeglobe.com/FN/images/smilies/smiley-smile.gif) We almost thought the worst ... :facepalm:

btw, Rogue Rocks :D

I'm glad someone noticed ;)  And yes it does rock, and rock hard :D

I used my Trekker's saw on Sunday. We were in a park with friends, making a camp fire.

I have to say, the saw cuts like a beast. Until then I only cut branches up to ~5cm thick. On this day, the biggest was a maybe 25cm log I notched from all sides an then kicked off the pieces. Worked better than the axe a friend brought!
I had a Fiskars collapsible saw with me. It had longer reach, but I found working with the SAK's saw more ergonomic and it made up for the shorter reach with sharper teeth.
 :sak:

I also got to use the Trekker's blade to cut some chicken breast and sausages for the BBQ and later carve a stick for my fire fork.  :cheers:

That was lots of fun :D

I also used my Champion to open some packages and my mail.  I modified mine with a serrated blade and bright yellow plus scales.

A bit of the leather (or fake leather or whatever) at the hing had loosened up and wrinkled up. I used the screw driver to push the leather back under the plastic part of the caseing. Now it closes again ^^*

"Angry Orchard hard cider" I tried that recently and it was very good! Can't drink beer because of the gluten :-(

I used a Vic plier on my custom 4 layer "Librarian" to tighten the nuts on the tuning pegs of my Ibanez Acoustic during a string change. Perfect size!

I used my custom serrated champion to slice some fruit at the local farmer's market.

What was cooler, however, is the farmer I bought some oranges from.  I wanted to sample an orange and he pulled an ancient Opinel out of his pocket with a super heavy patina on the blade.  I found myself longing for that old classic.

Not exactly today, meant to post this yesterday but didn't have the time to do it.

Most of the tubes in Taipei have escalators leading to and from the surface to the platform stations. Here we have a habit of standing on the right side of the escalator and leave the left side vacant so people that are in a hurry can walk through.

Yesterday during the evening rush hour a female passenger was wearing a long floral skirt, and it had caught in the corner at the end of the escalator and was pulling it in slowly while she was struggling to keep her skirt on. Her companion, a young male, who was covered in tats and a bright patchy green hair just stood there panicking. As I went by I looked back, the line behind them is building up, commuters carrying orchestral instruments were coming down, it's rush hour, nobody wants to press the button to stop the whole escalator let alone help a stranger covered in tats.
As I went by, I pulled out my Pioneers and asked the man. Sir, do you need a knife? Without hesitation he replied: Yes.
So I hand him my Pioneer at the same time telling him to mind the blade, it's quite sharp. With a clean slice the crisis had been averted, the lady get to keep her skirt on, and there's no need to stop the whole escalator.

TL;DR
Woman's skirt got caught in the escalator, cut it free with my SAK.

This weekend I replaced a ceiling fan for my in-laws. I used the small blade on my Vic Ranger to open the new fan's box. I used the 90 degree half-stop on the bottle opener's screwdriver to break loose a tight screw holding in the old fan (some WD-40 helped here too). The scissors trimmed a zip tie to secure the fan's add-on remote control box next to the motor. Then I used the small blade again to strip some wire to prepare the connections for the new fan.

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.

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.

This was actually yesterday, but I forgot to post it.  I had a milkshake, and the baby girl saw it and of course, she wanted some.  So we put some in her little sippy cup (cheaper plastic one), but the holes weren't big enough to allow the shake to flow through.  I mentioned we could make a bigger hole as I had my Mechaneer on me, which has that awesome 93mm awl.  My wife used that to create a bigger hole, and problem solved with a happy baby girl :tu:

Used the scissors to open a couple packs of ribs. Used the large blade to trim off a little bit of extra fat. Noticed that the kids batting T was broke on the bottom and would no longer fit in the stand. So I used the saw to remove the busted piece and now it fits back down into the stand like new. I also used the saw to cut a piece of lump charcoal to throw in the smoker.

Love the Huntsman.

oh yeah, I have used the bottle opener a few times already today to open up a Boulevard Wheat! :drink:

Last weekend, I removed a small, crappy drip system from one of the planters in the front yard. Instead of the drip line, I installed a sprinkler line that points toward the front lawn, rather than use the existing one that points toward the house, which was present when we moved in. I must say, the saw on my Camper makes for a GREAT root saw.

I've actually taken to pocketing my Camper whenever my three year old son is awake. He has a penchant for closing the door of whatever room he is in, and locking it. Fortunately, every interior door in our house can be unlocked with a slotted screwdriver. Until we can convince Ryan to not do this, or until he grows out of it, my wife has tasked me with carry a SAK of some kind just for this purpose.

The hatchback lock on our Honda Fit kept jamming due to salt corrosion, and I was tired of lubing it only to have it jam again a week later.......always when the back is full of groceries on a hot day, it seemed. I also didn't want to invest in expensive new Honda parts, that probably have to be specially ordered.

Decided to take the insides apart and attached and ran a length of bicycle derailleur cable from the lock, out the rear covers, and to a split ring attached to a small clip screwed to the inside of the hatchback. At least now I can reach in from the back seat when it jams, and a quick tug releases the lock.

All accomplished with a Pioneer with added scissors and file, and a pair of pliers to crimp the cable. Sorry, no pics though  :(

May I suggest the fish scaler tip for scratching also? It is long, double ended and safe for the skin. One can use the scaler edge for the limbs, as it covers a large area, it is ergonomic anatomically for arms and legs, has many tips providing sensory input and remains very safe.
I am serious.
my favorite use of my Swisschamp.

my wives too :)

Needless to say she said "ok, just checking" and drove off, then sat at the end of the street, I think she was keeping an eye on us, making sure I wasn't trying to rob her! Lol JR

- Used the can opener screwdriver to replace a light globe in a spotlight
- Used the blade to cut all sorts of things(cardboard, packaging, paracord)
- Used the awl to undo my paracord bracelet
- Bottle opener for a drink at the end of the day

I opened a package and snipped some plastic ties, then used the small screwdriver on my Climber's can opener to tighten a loose strike plate. I also used the hook to pick apart some knots in my niece's jump rope.

I can give you a negative use, if that evens out your record ;)

Bought a potato bag, attached hook, hook rips clean through the bag and the bag drops to the floor.  :ahhh
Carry the bag in hand and as I reach home (maybe 300m from the store) I could see the deformations in the bag's material from my hand.  :wait:

Damn cheap material, too cheap for a 7,5kg bag  :viking:

Alox is easy. Just wash with dishsoap and dry it with a air compressor. If no air compressor dry it as good as you can and air dry. If air dry isn't good enough put it in the over for a little while to get the water out of the pivot areas.

Used the tothpick of my rambler to re-iontroduce the elastic band to the hem of my daughters bathing suit.

If at home I would have used a safety-pin, but this was on the beach. Worked like a charm, pushed the toothpick through the rubberband and then it was easy to pull it trough the hem.

Damn, I feel like MacGyver when improvising the tools use even if it´s not exactly saving the world.

-John

Just wipe it with a wet wipe at the park (if you have them - if you have kids you probably do!  ;) )
Then just the same as the alox when you get home.
Nice hot water, and maybe a bit of detergent, I have all the blades open, which can be a bit dangerous!!  :o I have nipped myself more times cleaning SAKS than at any other time  :o
Dry it off - I just let it air dry usually balanced on a blade tip to let the water drain - Sometimes carry it in my pocket (tools in again  :salute:) to make the last little bit of dampness evaporate -

Then a must , of course, a light oil on the joints

Currently on vacation in far north Michigan, and am using: my heirloom Laguiole for cooking/eating, my Spartan for whittling/wine, and my Minichamp for everything else, including mainly seeing in the dark (I have the Midnite Minichamp and find its light more than adequate for my purposes). Highlight: using the Minichamp's Phillips screwdriver to tighten the tuning pegs on my Ukulele, as always :)

I'm up here with my wife's family and they all have one-handed openers clipped to their pockets (which I have the utmost respect for - I used to carry a Kershaw Leek that way), but guess who's got the right tool for the job ten times out of ten: the guy with the SAK, as always.

I was packing a Wenger SI for the mail into a tube I made by rolling up a piece of cardboard. I made the tube, put some tape around it then shoved in some scrunched up receipts I had nearby to act as extra protection.

I put in one too many receipt and it got stuck. My finger didn't reach, the blade on my Farmer didn't grab but then I tried the saw. Guess what? It worked perfectly!

I'm finding unforeseen uses for my SAK and I think I'm reaching the point where I can't go anywhere without it...

For the curious, it was my Yeoman.

Last few days summary....
-Played with the magnifying glass as a macro lens for the iPhone- makes a huge difference
-Alpineer big blade to slice and eat cake :D (too lazy to get a fork)
-Tried the corkscrew as a back scratcher...a bit poky. Fish scaler does a better job
-Big scissors for mail and food packaging
-Small scissors and file for nails
-Toothpick*
-Scissors and metal file to smooth off a cut zip tie end

*Reminds me. when I was a kid, I read somewhere that you can burn the end of a toothpick to make it stronger. which I tried on the plastic SAK toothpick. I was not a smart kid.

Put a new battery into my Casio last night,used the can opener to remove the plastic support,small blade to loosen the retaining screw,the tweezers to replace the screw,and the mini driver to tighten the screw.

Funny enough,I cursed less doing this than sending a text from my 'smart' phone :facepalm:


Used the can opener tonight to help place nuts on the tactical rail for my new air pistol

Carrying my Red Pioneer this afternoon and I forgot something out on the porch...that old screen door slammed shut behind me and I was locked out with just my Pioneer on a kydex necker.  Jimmied the latch with the screwdriver/caplifter blade and I was back in, out of the 101F heat.

Bit of a weird one: I was cleaning all the muck out of the spouting at my Mum's house. There was a particularly stubborn clump of grass up there that just would not budge. Out came the big Wenger Ranger blade to cut up the massive rootball that was growing in and around a bracket. Went through it like a scythe. :)

In other strange use news, the slider on a bathroom stall door got stuck and I had to use the bottle opener on my Climber to pry it loose. When I informed the manager, he borrowed my Climber to unscrew it completely, so double duty, I guess?

If anyone wonders, those tiny scissors on the Classic SD take off the insulation and/or perfectly cut the complete single wires in Ethernet cables. The cut was so tidy, my face was like this:  :D

I thought about getting one of those see through or cutout locks to practice on. I ended up not getting on or any picking tools, but maybe in the future. It interest me quite a bit. I guess until then I can just study up on the most important part. Understanding how the locks work. Pretty basic if you really think about it, but I saw a anti (bump key) lock that looks pretty secure and would make picking much more difficult. I swear their was a thread about this somewhere.  :think:

Locks were designed to keep the honest people out.....

Most common ones are pretty easy to pick. I bought a pick years ago to open up stuff for my father in law's construction co....he was spending a lot of money on forgotten/lost tool box keys and such. Paid for itself the first month.

In the lobby of a posh hotel on a conference call to colleagues and using my laptop.
Battery on phone and laptop about to expire - No plug sockets near me.
I spy a brass panel on the marble floor and suspect it may contain a plug 
There's some sort of sliding switch above the panel - But I cannot open it  :(

SAK to the rescue - It opens the panel and indeed there is a plug underneath  :o

SAK saves the day yet again  :D 8)

I used mine to convince my wife she needs her first SAK.   :D

She asked to use "whichever knife you have today" for scissors to fix a hang nail (which we're both pretty used to by now).  It's been a slow process, but I've finally convinced her how useful it is that I always have one on me.  This time, she says "Ya know, it'd be nice if they had one of these with nail clippers, I'd keep one of those in my bag.  Yeah...nail clippers, nail file, scissors, even a little knife blade."

Imagine her surprise when I told her the name of her existing dream SAK.  Ordered it last night (in purple), already being shipped.  I told her we didn't want to wait because Wenger no longer makes these :)

^^^ Love it - Great story ^^^

As I keep saying no-one should be without a Classic/Keychain SAK.

I am not a big fan of clippers myself - Although I do have a Wenger 580 in my United Woods set and used it a couple of times - What a neat design !!  :D

That's the beauty of the SAK - It's not "One size fits all' it's "One of the different sizes of SAK fits all'

Used my old cross Pioneer to unbox a computer.  Later, I used the awl to retrieve a spring from a string trimmer I was repairing.  I had the trimmer apart, and a small spring dislodged and rolled underneath a switch.  I couldn't get ahold of it with my fingers.  I stuck the awl in the end of the spring and was able to fish it out. 

Half the time I don't even use the tools for their intended purposes.  I find that I just need some pieces of metal in various shapes to poke, prod, dig, scrape, etc.

My old cross red Pioneer got quite the workout today stripping 8 and 1 gauge wire for my install in the Jeep. 

It worked absolutely brilliantly too!  I found if you open the awl the wire sits nice and flush on the scales and against the bottle opener, and with the blade resting on it, all it would take was a couple of turns around it, pull, and the wire is stripped.

Well not today - But over the weekend - I was stripping and restoring an old wardrobe.

It's an Edwardian pine wardrobe with an inset mirror and some nice inlaid patterns
At some stage it had been given a horrible paint job and this needed stripping off.

The screwdriver on my Tinker turned out to be a brilliant scraper for the fine detailed panel - It could get in all those tiny little holes and the lovely SAK smooth corners meant the wood was not damaged, unlike the sharp corners on my regular paint scraper.

However it was not just the screwdriver that was used.

That's the beauty of the SAK - So many tools in one.
Even though this was my official beater SAK - It still hurt me a bit to abuse it so (as you can see)
But it cleaned up pretty well - see last photo
BTW - Love that term 'beater SAK' - Learnt it on this forum here:
http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,50642.0.html

A few pictures attached for your amusement.....
In the first one you can see the original painted wood; the varnish layer after the paint had been removed; then the near final wood when the varnish had been stripped and sanded.

Alox is easy. Just wash with dishsoap and dry it with a air compressor. If no air compressor dry it as good as you can and air dry. If air dry isn't good enough put it in the over for a little while to get the water out of the pivot areas.
A hair dryer works well if one does not have an air compressor.

Just used the Can Opener from my Wenger Evogrip to open a Can in our Kitchen,
Its the original Wenger Can Opener, now Delemont Kolektion EVO

It was the First Time i used a Swiss Army Knife  Can Opener, so i ditnt know how this works whit a Victorinox SOK  Can Opener
It works whit the Wenger, so i think i would Survive Outdoor if i find a Can..
But mybe in the Kitchen, i would prefer a normal Can Opener..

But for a Wenger Opener, and my first time i used this tool, i think the Open isnt bad..

Teaching a course this week.
There was a flip chart in the room where the flip chart paper had been badly torn off and I could not flip the paper properly!

So out popped my trusty SAK (Vic Compact -for work suit pocket) to trim off the paper neatly. It worked beautifully of course.  :climber:

It got quite a reaction from my  students (- It's an adult class) - Not quite sure if they were impressed or shocked ('Aarrgh? he has a knife!!') or a mixture of both. I think mainly impressed  :)

Someone possibly spotted the corkscrew or maybe just the red SAK - as he called out - 'Is that corkscrew for your bottle of wine this evening?'. ..'Of course'  :) I replied - even though I was not drinking that night!!

So you see everyone expects a CS on a SAK.

I usually have a Leatherman Freestyle and a Victorinox Silver Tech Climber on me.

For kayaking I wear a Boker canoe/kayak knife.

One of my favourites it my CRKT NIRK knife. It is a lot stronger than it looks. I think it's really quite elegant.

And I am thinking about buying the Gerber Myth for archery- although I am not sold on it yet.

Used the re-profiled Evo 18 nail file tip to transfer batteries from Photon II Pro to an older Photon light because I no longer trusted the latching action of the II Pro. The older model is momentary operation with the option of operating the latching tab.

The nail file did it all, removed the tiny Phillips, removed the II Pro battery flap, prised out the batteries and separated the split ring.

As an aside anybody know if the II Pro can be made momentary?

Took a day hike with the wife and my Farmer today.  Carved up a hand drill set using the saw, blade, and awl.  The wood was not seasoned properly, or was the wrong type and polished instead of building dust, but was fun to try.  With some more time I think I could have found some better/different wood and got it going. 

The awl on the Farmer never ceases to amaze me.  It bores through wood very quickly and very neatly.  Its also sharp enough to scrape and cut out a v notch in the fire board.  Its nothing new, I am just always impressed by it. 

Only problem today was after a while of cutting some hardwood my hand started hurting pretty badly.  Main reason I am considering picking up a Trekker, thinking the grip may be more comfortable for extended use.

I did get two knives from it too.   :tu:  The were attached to the raft, and are used to cut the mooring lines if needed.  They are kind of crude looking, but they do cut line pretty easily.

Covered most of this in a different thread, but wanted to share it here as well.  I went to a wedding last weekend, and my Climber got a workout.  Main blade was used to cut zip ties and ribbons, scissors to trim strings, awl to disengage zip ties, toothpick to make sure I had no food in my teeth for the pictures, and perhaps most importantly, the corkscrew and mini-screwdriver were used to untangle the bride's necklace before the ceremony.

Kinda of a boring day today when is comes to sak use but I did use my Manager to open up a package that had a crank emergency radio in it.  We decided to pick one up cause my wife seen somewhere that the Farmer's almanac is predicting a ton of snow/bad winter this year which could mean power outages for extended times but I wouldnt bet on it as others think it might be a warmer than normal winter so who's right, only time will tell.  :D

My brother's wedding was today.  For carry while wearing a suit I went with just my Minichamp, and boy did it get a workout.  FIrst the scissors cut a small plactic cable holding a pair of socks together.  Then after we'd taken pictures of the wedding party my other brother went to put a pack of cigarettes in his in his jacket pocket, and realized that the tailor hadn't opened the pockets on his new suit.  The pen blade and scissors took care of that very well.  After the actual ceremony was finished, we in the bridal party were waiting outside the venue for a couple of minutes before coming back in to introductions.  Someone went inside and grabbed several beers, Stellas.  Who was the only one who had a bottle opener.  The recovering alcoholic, of course.  :facepalm:  The combo tool works pretty well actually.  It also opened a Coke in a glass bottle for me.  :)  I realized I hadn't signed my card-pen took care of that quickly.  And when my cousin broke a nail, who came to the rescue with a file?  :D  I'm loving this little knife.  It's amazing just how much you can actually accomplish with a 58mm.  Call me a new fan of the size.  :tu:

My brother's wedding was today.  For carry while wearing a suit I went with just my Minichamp, and boy did it get a workout.  FIrst the scissors cut a small plactic cable holding a pair of socks together.  Then after we'd taken pictures of the wedding party my other brother went to put a pack of cigarettes in his in his jacket pocket, and realized that the tailor hadn't opened the pockets on his new suit.  The pen blade and scissors took care of that very well.  After the actual ceremony was finished, we in the bridal party were waiting outside the venue for a couple of minutes before coming back in to introductions.  Someone went inside and grabbed several beers, Stellas.  Who was the only one who had a bottle opener.  The recovering alcoholic, of course.  :facepalm:  The combo tool works pretty well actually.  It also opened a Coke in a glass bottle for me.  :)  I realized I hadn't signed my card-pen took care of that quickly.  And when my cousin broke a nail, who came to the rescue with a file?  :D  I'm loving this little knife.  It's amazing just how much you can actually accomplish with a 58mm.  Call me a new fan of the size.  :tu:

You legend!  :tu:  :tu:  :tu:

Use a very fine blade for the liners.  I made a bunch from 0.4mm brass sheet with snips then finished them on my belt sander and by hand but that was a real faff and they were very fiddly.  I had better luck when I roughed them out of 0.8mm sheet with a 59 TPI blade then went on to the sander.

I have one of those like six inch padded carabiners which works great, but we go shopping with others and by putting a knot on the bags we easly know which ones are ours rather then looking through each bag to sort everything out. JR

You know what else would work, know those dog collars the chokers which is just a rope with the two rings at the ends? That would work!  Just loop it threw the bags handles and either pull the rope or paracord threw the one of the rings or just hook both rings? And when not in use just hook both rings on the keychain?  :think: hmm this sounds kinda interesting! JR

They'll still push your fingers toghether. With the hook, you just get the downward pull and you can hold your fingers apart.

That is true. Hook will be more comfortable than flexible lanyard. But then lanyard might be more versatile and easier to carry and store.

At work tonight:

Used the phillips on my Wenger Highlander to remove the grate from a stand up cooler so I could use compressed CO2 to clean the baffles on the compressor.  Used the blade to open boxes of corned and roast beef and broke down some boxes before my utility guy took them to the recycling bin.

At home after:

Used the cap lifter on some craft brews.

So I'm a girl, and not a very handy one. SAKs to me are mostly for grooming and food. Today I actually used em to fix stuff!

Just got a faux-Telecaster guitar, only a week old. The output jack was a bit loose, a common problem with these suckers. Youtubed how to fix it. You have to unscrew the knobs and unveil the innards of the guitar, something I've never done before. Trusty Explorer and Manager came to the rescue (ended up unscrewing things that didn't need to be unscrewed, oops). Used the Gerber Dime's pliers on the nut. Rescrewed it all. Plug the lead back in....uh oh, no sound. Repeat the process. Turns out during my fiddling I'd accidentally loosened one of the wires connecting to the jack. Panic. Consider taking it to the shop for a dude to fix. Deep breaths. Figured out which bit was meant to connect to which, screwed the right screws into the right holes eventually, and lo, music!

One small step for mankind!

That's how I've always felt. Whatever I carry is for "just in case" and I'm sure that applies to 99% of everyone on this forum.

Up until recently when I "rediscovered" SAK's I felt that my One Knife to Rule them All was the flavor of the month single blade folder that was clipped to my pocket. Now that I've seen the light I realized that the almighty tool is a SAK :cool: (and sometimes Leatherman)

Also to add I used the pen in my Compact last night to sign for my chinese delivery since the pen the driver had went dry. Needless to say i more than excited to use it and the delivery driver said it was an awesome Swiss Army knife. Maybe that moment will persuade 'em to also pick up a SAK.

I actually had to use the pen in my Rogueneer yesterday as well.  I was gathering meter reads from some of our photocopiers here at work.  I have a tacpen on me normally at work as my normal pen for these types of tasks.  I finished on the first floor, and then had a package to open, so I set the pen down on a stand and opened the package.  I forgot the pen there, and went upstairs to continue the meter reading.  I reached for my pen and realized I didn't have it, then thought of the SAK pen and took that out to write down the info.  Yet another reason I like the plus scales, even if it is a rare occurrence when I use the pen.

Of course it is sliced after it is dried and has way different spices but still.  :drool:

I'm at my parent's house today for a family dinner.  My mother called me into the kitchen, pointed to some cans, and said, "Have at it".  She was using the can opener, and knows I've always got a SAK on me.  Pioneer for the win!  :)

Excellent.  :climber:

For me, I ended up with the Super Tinker replacing that modded Compact that you're talking about.  Turned the Compact into a Yeoman and tried that for a while, but again the Super Tinker won out for me.  I just like the dedicated openers better than the combo tool.

But you really have to get both so you can decide for yourself ;)

Somebody broke my right external mirror a couple of days ago. I tried to put it back and the broken metal part had to be put under a hard plastic part that needed a great deal of force to bend temporarily. I tried screwdrivers from Charge and Spirit. I  tried Pocketwrench II. I tried the Crunch. Nothing. There wasn't enough space or I couldn't apply enough force.
Today I was angry by my mirror moving like a Parkinsonic  old man. I tried the  hook from my XLT. It was a matter of 2 seconds, a piece of cake! Why didn;t I think it earlier?

A combo from the last few days:

-Used the pen from the Manager to write my friend's wedding card. Saved the day. It was on my keys though, which didn't help with the terrible handwriting.
-Further guitar tinkering. Using a combo of the Manager's screwdriver (amazing, love the magnetised tip), LM Squirt (wire cutters pliers on Gerber Dime crapped out) and LM Wave (for cutting guitar strings).
-Compact scissors and knife to hack into the first of my Xmas online shopping deliveries. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'll be gifting a Climber to my stepbrother!

My Victorinox Cadet saved me today: I have been borrowing a friend's scooter this week. I left work for a few minutes to go deposit my check in the bank and needed to get back. I somehow managed to bend the scooter key pretty badly while taking it out of the ignition. With the Cadet's flathead screwdriver, I was able to apply some force and flatten out the key enough to get back to work. I'm so glad I remembered to bring my SAK today!

I used my Rogueneer to reach a shirt my toddler girl dropped behind the head board of our bed.  Here is a pic of how I did it:

My other half needed some small sharp scissors  to remove her sisters hair extensions,and who had the perfect tool for the job?the(strange little man)as she calls me for always having one of my saks on me where ever I go. So one up to me again  and today it was the climber that proved her wrong.

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.

Tonight at a meeting someone needed a pair of scissors.  I went to get my Rambler out of my pocket and but a lady says, "Here you go" and hands over a Classic to the person in need.  This lady who had the Classic was the same one who two weeks ago commented how useful my Rambler looked, and that she needed to get one!  :D  So what did I use my SAK on today?  Nothing, because my enabling ways bore fruit.  :tu:

The can opener opened some pasta sauce to accompany the aforementioned pasta (the work can opener has gone on the lam) and did double duty by removing the screws that separated me from the batteries in that damn infernal toy!

Yes, they are slightly bigger & beefier on the 93 mm knives than the 91 mm knives, but it is difficult to tell unless you've either held them in your hands or looked at some good comparison pics.

Been doing some thinking on the T&T situation and think I will go with the Rambler on the keyring answer.

That way I can do wood or Alox and not have to worry about no toothpick which is my fave of the T&T combo.

Yeah, I've thought about carrying my Classic with my alox SAKs.  Only issue there is that the straight pin is only available in the 91mm size, and that's something that has proven useful (more for my wife than me though).  It's a never ending conundrum for me, but that's partially due to my analytical and indecisive natures, which is a bad combo for this ;)

I agree that it's fun to think about these things, and I do it a lot.  As for the pin, I myself haven't had much need for it, but it has come in handy once in a while, and my wife has had more use for it than I.  I just like having these things on me in case me or someone else needs them.  My wife has come to rely on me having them as she uses them more than I (the scale tools).  That's my main issue with alox, other than not coming stock with scissors.

I agree that it's fun to think about these things, and I do it a lot.  As for the pin, I myself haven't had much need for it, but it has come in handy once in a while, and my wife has had more use for it than I.  I just like having these things on me in case me or someone else needs them.  My wife has come to rely on me having them as she uses them more than I (the scale tools).  That's my main issue with alox, other than not coming stock with scissors.

Scale tools I get, thats why I will carry the Rambler but what do you guys use the pin for?

My wife has used it a few times for various tasks, and I can't really say what exactly because I usually just give her the pin and go about my business.  I'm trying to think what I've used it for, but I can't really think of anything.  I know it would be good for cleaning out spray nozzles though, and things of that nature.  I just like having these types of items in my SAK, just in case...which is pretty much the point :think:

On Christmas eve, we were at our son's place, when the smoke detector went off.  That triggered the ADT central alarm, that no one, not even the landlord thought worked.  No one knew the code and the thing would not stop re-alarming.  It is hard wired to the house and shutting it off meant shutting off the power to the kitchen outlets.

After 10 minutes of holding my hand over the alarm, I decided something had to be done.  Using my Wenger S557, I opened the front cover of the ADT alarm, I pulled the power lead off of the speaker.  The unit lights stayed on but no sound.  :D

Just bought a dinner suit (tuxedo) this weekend. Director was tool of choice for unpicking the various bit of stitching that tailors add unnecesarily. Why do they do that? There was a label on the sleeve (OK, I can kind of understand that one), the pockets were stitched closed, and so were the jacket vents. Everytime I buy a suit, the pockets are stiched closed (why?), but this was the first time I've ever known the jacket vents stitched shut ... a large white cross on a black jacket ...  :think:

Do they get bored because not enough people buy suits these days?  :P

Everytime I buy a suit, the pockets are stiched closed (why?), but this was the first time I've ever known the jacket vents stitched shut
I understand that it's so the suit holds its shape on the hangar and when being tried on.
If this were not done the pockets could sag and it would not look so neat.  :tu:

And just thought of ano reason - So triers on do not leave stuff in the pockets ??

It wasn't the sheath, they put the drink on the table on front of me, but by the time I even reached for the sak the older (big) kid just grabbed the drink and twisted it off.. I looked at him with a crooked eyebrow like :think: !! So it wasn't the sheath..

We bought a used Honda car for my son to drive to school his senior year. I had to get him to drop me off at work yesterday, and while riding in the passenger seat, I realized the glovebox latch was loose. One screw had gone missing and the other was almost completely out. I used the small screwdriver head on my silver alox Cadet to tighten the one screw so it would hold for now :)

Used the Chisel on my Swisschamp XLT to Chisel out (dos this named like this??)
a Bee Wachs Candel from a Candel Holder..
Was a good idea to put the Candelholder on the radiator, so it was much easer..

Only problem was then to clean up the chisel..

for this thask, the Swisschamp was preaty usefull, good that i got it last week :)
Also its great that the monster SAK gives the Chisel some extra push..

Ditnd had a Chisel on a SAK bevore, but this works realy well..

Also used the Magnifing Glas on this Thing to Magnifing something, and the Skaler on the Fishscaler to figure out, how big the new Beewachs Candle should be to put in this Candleholder :)

And i used the big Blade to open up a Bagel but this was on Saturday..

Now i have to seach for Tasks, to use the other 550034504334034 tools on this awesome Knife :)

Oh dear :facepalm:, Nickelodeon is a kid's TV network, also the one I grew up watching :rofl:

Just proves my point. We all know Higgs is a freak.

I too enjoyed Nickelodeon growing up, but I figure Higgs and I are of two different Nick generations.  He probably grew up on SpongeBob....not that there's anything wrong with that.  Probably explains his freakiness....and possibly mine because my oldest daughter loved SpongeBob and I've seen more than my fair share of it ;)

More my sister's show than mine :rofl:, I watched more Full House and Home Improvement before bed. The latter is still one of my favorite shows.

Yeah definitely, Home Improvement is one of my favorites from the past.  I did like Full House as a kid, but it didn't carry over well into adulthood for me.

Happened to me yesterday...

Was looking around the house for a scraper to remove some of the excess cement that was on my living room tiles, but couldn't find anything that's blunt and flat and hard enough. In the end I used my boring spartan's bottle opener. Worked like magic.

Later in the evening, I was queuing up in a sporting goods store. A mother in front of me was buying a pair of socks for her son so that he could wear them immediately to try out a pair of shoes. The counter lady was too busy with the cash register to notice that the mother was trying to BITE the stitching that held the 2 socks together. Instinctively, I whipped out my rambler and snipped it off for him. The bewildered look on the boy's face and his mother's smile made it all worth it.

Used the farmer today for a very unique use, I went to put my boots on and they had pebbles on the bottom. So, as I sat I pulled the trash can over and went to use the can opener to pop them out, but then I figured maybe the awl? Well, it worked perfect, just ran it down the grooves and popped them out, piece of cake! Which I could go for right now, hmm

Yes, calculated indeed ;)  I was thankful for the SAK pliers, as the Swisstool's would have been too fat for such fine work.  That's why I prefer needlenose more than the bluntish Swisstool/Spirit pliers, but the MTs themselves are so nice that I can forgive that.  Plus it's so occasional that I need them for such tasks that it's not that big a deal.  The MechaRogue's pliers are a good backup for this type of use anyway, so that helps.

@JR:  For some reason I thought you were a year or two younger...

@Sawman: So buy them both. Always the best way to go imo.

@JR and Monrogue: No need to argue, you are both old and grey.
Good advice to Sawman, as that's the MTO way ;)

For some reason, I think you're older than both of us....

My wife asked for tweezers to remove a small piece of charred food from a stovetop burner.  She is used to me carrying the Rogueneer, but now I carry the alox MechaRogue, which lacks scale tools.  I deployed the pliers for her, which worked even better.  That's why I wanted them on the custom as they at least make up for the lack of the cellidor tools.  Well, not the toothpick or pin though.

It is a feather clamp. Used something like, feather into clamp, tape onto feather, feather onto arrow, release the clamp.

Used the cap lifter on my Climber to loosen a little stone from my shoe some days ago. Do you know how iretating this stone-on-stone 'click' sound every second step can be?  :rant:

Used the awl on my Harvester to puncture a microwavable dish packet. It said "puncture with fork" but the fork just bounced off. So I got the job done effortlessly instead of spraying cale all over the kitchen (Which would have happened, had I pressed down harder with the fork - I know my luck!).

I had to go to a junkyard yesterday to find a door handle for our old Chrysler car. It's the kind of junkyard where you go find and pull the parts off yourself. I'm really glad I brought my Super Tinker with me, because I had to cut this door handle out of the thick plastic door panel. I miss the days when cars were made of sturdy metal and everything was put together with real hardware.

Had to tune up my dad's Schwinn Homegrown so I decided to use the Tinker for anything I could. A few screw turns and such, but the real work was for the blade and awl. My dad had the frame painted Dodge Charger red the first year they reintroduced them, so he's a bit more protective of the paint than a normal mountain biker... So he wanted me to make him a downtube protector like I put on my rig.

Tinker did a lot of rubber slicing, and the awl was put to work making the holes to feed zip ties through to keep everything in place.

Amici,
Whenever I carry an MT that does NOT have scissors, I ALWAYS carry an Alox scaled Victorinox Executive in one of my pockets..

I used mine today to cut sensitive material into a distinct shape on a product I was working on.. Worked flawlessly..

When it comes to scissors, the Executive packs one heck of a bite despite its small stature..

Cheers,
Serge

Last saturday I used my Climber to fix a TV remote, cut my T-bone at lunch, open some walnuts, fix an electric lamp and tighten the hinges in a cupboard.

The best part, it was at the house of one of my friends who's always nagging me about being "always full of knives and pliers and strange gadgets..."

I used my Monspirit and Monwoody (and drill) to cut a hole in an aluminium push plate to fit over a barrel lock on the outside gate at work. I used the metal file on the Monspirit, and then the awl to pilot some screws, and the in-line philips on the Monwoody to drive them home. All before 0845 this morning.

I am extremely impressed withh the Vic metal saw.

Great success!

We were moving our living room around at home last night. My daughter asked for my phone and disappeared into her bedroom (she's 17). Half an hour later she returned, handing me the phone and said 'Pictures! For your forum!'

She had been adjusting her bed using the small SD from her Climber. I feel V proud!

As long as she's not in that paddling pool from your last avatar - knives n pools don't mix well. Maybe just get her to check the Spyderco in before entering the pool.

Back when I was working for the University, I attended a faculty/donor function at a local Museum. The caterers arrived and soon panicked because they hadn't packed a corkscrew....I stepped up and offered my Champion....they were overjoyed and used it to open about 30 bottles of wine...

After the party, the owner of the catering company returned my knife along with a nice bottle of Pinot Noir for helping him save face.

Used the Bit Driver from my Swisschamp XLT whit the Torx Bit, to unscrew some Wood Edges from a "Bee Wax Palette": A Suplier send us 2 Euro Paletts whit Bee Wax Plates, which were secured whit 4 Wood Edges (the Company who make our Bee Wax Plates also makes Bee Hives, so i asume they had this Wood Edges over..)

But because a Europalette whit 4 Wood Edges needs to many space , so i unscrewd the Edges whit my Swisschamp..
Workd great, but i was everytime a bit affraid about the force it needet and i was a bit worryd about the fakt, the Chassis of the SAK wasnt that Stable at the TASK, but seems like the SAK had survived the Work, its tools still fold out that perfekt as new, and the Bit only lost some painting....
, and i used my Griplog today to cut the band from a Palette of Beehives, but as it isnt a SAK, mybe whe need also a Thread: "What dit your Folding Knife today"..

Took the wire cutters out of my Rebar with the bit driver on my XLT - needed to tidy up some burrs on the edges after cutting some stainless wire.

Man that XLT is fat.
using the driver must be a great workout for the grip and forearms. Kind of like using fat bars for training in the gym.

The MechaRogue came in very handy for troubleshooting/fixing a desk calculator for someone at work.

Nice to see. I thought I was the last dinosaur still using a desk calculator.
That MechaRouge has a great tool-set.
Thanks, it's a good load out, and I think it will be my main SAK.  As for the calculator, we all still use them here.  This is a bank though, so most need this type.  I actually don't have one as the one on the computer is sufficient for me.

I also used my EDC Cybertool to replace all my cable internet connectors, splitters and wires hoping that would fix the problems I've had for months of years. It also helped me open up the package my ISP sent me.

Is there an olive eating merit badge?

Nice pic Kirk - Where do you get your lanyard beads from?

The GITD skulls you can get off eBay,though your local bead shop will probably be cheaper. I got those ones in a bead shop in Soho. The metal barrel one I picked up in a bead shop in Kingston.

Let me know if you'd like some of the skulls :pok:

Cheers Kirky, I'd love a couple if you have any spare?

We were out again today putting up signs for the election. My wife used her Farmer, my daughter used her new Explorer I just gave her, and I used my Monwoody and Spirit. We put up a ton of signs working together.

I need one of those, but I was thinking a budK wax wood staff(if they ever get any) with just a rubber foot and paracord grip.. Just something simple and didn't care if got scratched, heck I'd be happy with a simple light weight wooden broom stick but everywhere we go is all aluminum ones.. Knowing my luck it would get one little dent and I'd fall flat on my face!

We went to shoot some pool, and on the way home we stopped at DQ for a little something, well the lady hands me my blizzard with the spoon in it and I asked for a lid, so she tries to put it on and well, it don't fit, the spoon was to long.. So I took the farmer out and cut a little hole in the lid so the spoon would fit through the lid! Piece of cake, needless to say I heard all of the giggling when I walked away like I was nuts, lol.. But hey, it worked!

Last night at church the 3 and 4 year olds were playing on the playground and congregated around a slide looking at a "spider".  Hmmm, better investigate this.  Well it was an arachnid, just not a spider.  Out comes my Pioneer to vanquish this enemy.  One less tick in the world.

Then later in the evening, still at church, a plastic rocking horse has somehow managed to get water trapped inside it.  Hmmm, Pioneer awl neatly drills hole in the plastic and water drains.

Pioneer got a workout for the evening.

Yeah he was, we we're using a silky hand saw to remove epicormic growth on lime trees for a change from the chainsaws and I said I bet my Sak saw could do the job as fast as the silky and it wasn't far off, so yeah he was quite Impressed  but he usually is with what I can do with a sak

By the time someone found a screw gun to help, the GAK and I had this crate opened and unpacked. :)

Right on JD!  Where did you get your GAK at?  I need some new knives to liven up the stable.  I used the leather punch on my Huntsman to drive out a pin on an M-1, and my son used the philips head on his Swisschamp to drive in screws for picture frames.

Thanks sir!  The follower arm pin.  I've been a Garand fan for alot of years, and have owned my 5.8 Springfield for almost 6 years.  That leather punch has come in handy for alot of things over the years!  I'm going to keep my eye out for a GAK as I don't have anything larger than 91mm and that knife sure would be a great conversation starter!

I cut that way so I can take off little pieces without biting it. There's also another way I like to use on ripe mangoes. You try to cut as close to the seed as you can on both sides.
Then cut in diagonal squares leaving the skin uncut. Then you push it up. You get little square pieces.

I also collect older diecast toys/models and purchased a Dinky Supertoys 661 Scammell Explorer Recovery Tractor off of Ebay, which arrived yesterday.  .   


First of all, I had to remove the foot diameter shroud of Saran wrap the seller used instead of a box.  The scissors and blade on my Craftsman made (relatively) quick work of that.   

Then I had to cut the bubble wrap the seller wrapped the truck in.   Same tools were used for that job.   

Then I had to replace the string and hook.    The string, which had to be so thin I had to borrow some of my grandmother's quilting thread to replace it with, was cut with my blade (for some reason, the scissors on both of my 91mm SAK's don't cut thread, only Wenger scissors do that job well, perhaps due to wear, as my Fieldmaster is ten years old, and my Craftsman's at least 25) then subsequently cut with my Wenger MicroLight Esquire's scissors.   

The area where the winch drum was on the little wrecker was so cramped, I wouldn't have been able to do it without the Craftsman's tweezers (which was the smallest pair I had) which I used to thread the leangth of quilting thread through the pinhole sized securing eye on the winch drum.  After tying the hook and thread on, I removed the excess string with the scissors.

The cam (translation right?) was on the wrong side. After a lot of confusion and a bit of chatting with RT, he said that there would be a splint that needed to be pushed down and could then be pushed around.
After some searching I found it:

I then used the corkscrew to push it down, because it was a bad angle and then the tiny screwdriver that's screwed in the corkscrew for the rest.

I just used the pliers on my MechaRogue to remove a shampoo bottle cap from some cover that didn't belong over it.  My baby girl is having a bath and wanted them separated to play with the cap for some reason.  The SAK pliers were perfect for the job as I couldn't have done it with my fingers.

I sharpened a pencil with the main blade on my Harvester, and used the awl to make some holes for wood screws. I may not have cared for it at first, but that that sak is starting to grow on me.

More harvester usage. Today I attacked the backyard with a weed wacker with my Harvester in my back pocket. The saw blade made short work of any weeds that were too thick to cut with the wacker. And when it needed more cord, the hawckbill blade was perfect for cutting a new length of cord off of the spool. This harvester is the perfect companion for fixing things up around the house.

Needed to rip down a piece of 2X4 to about 2 5/8" and cut it to size to support a window A/C.  Farmer worked great as a scribe, to trim/whittle flat the ripped side and the saw off the block. Took about 20 min.

So I up on an extension ladder removing oak tree "beards" and maple seeds which were matted on the screen over my rain gutter located above my deck. The gutter screen is screwed into the gutter in the front of the gutter and on the back side is held in place by friction. I found a photo online which shows the type of screen.


A poor design in my opinion.


I noticed the screen had dropped down in the gutter a couple of inches in several places on the back side. So I'm up in the air on a ladder trying to figure out what I could use to pull the screen back to where it should be. I pulled out my SAK Climber and found the hook would fit between the diamond shaped mesh and it worked perfectly to pull the mesh back into place.


I don't have any pictures of the hook in action, but I hope the powers that be will have sympathy on an older guy not wanting to get a camera and climb the ladder again to get a picture for a merit badge.

I have used the hook for very similar purposes, hardware cloth, expanded metal, woven materials and the like. A very handy tool with much merit.  :salute:

One of my other hobbies is RC trucks.

The body clips on the 1/8 scale ones can be pretty thick. Usually, I end up either bending them up to make them easier to grab ahold of, or put a twist tie or zip tie on them.

But I hadn't done it yet and one time last week, my fingers were sweaty and I couldn't get the !@#$% things out to change batteries. It was then that I remembered the Super Tinker in my pocket, whose hook saved the day!

Now that is a good idea for use of the hook! I always bent the clip a little, I used to sooo be into r/c, but then things came up and I just never had time, then I got back into it again, and now just can't afford it, I got three sitting in the basement, two battery ones, one is an antique I just never got into play, but it's 4wd, 4ws, and chain drive. The third is 1/8th scale 4wd and nitro! You got a nice truck!

Citrus aurantifolia according to the Mexican Agriculture Bureau:

http://www.siap.gob.mx/limon-agrio/

I think its very similar to a key lime. It is readily available in Mexico and is what should be used when drinking a low to mid grade Tequila. Should never be mixed with beer, that's just stupid Corona advertizing. If the beer is good enough it should be drank stone cold and straight. If not, drink something else, IMHO.

I just used my Spartan Lite to fix my sandal. It had these plastic things to tie the ends together, but I couldn't get one of them off, and the paracord laces were way too long.

The other day, I did a poor job of fixing one end. The sheath of the paracord was much longer than the inside. If I'm honest, that paracord is plumb worn out. But it matches so well, I hate to replace it with something I have on hand that doesn't match properly.


So Step 1 was to cut that excess sheath off:

Step 2 was to use the corkscrew to help untie the old knot:

Step 3 was to even out the lace length from right to left and tie a new knot. I forget what this knot is called, but it is pretty simple, and is my FAVORITE for joining two lengths of cord together:

Hello Guys.Im new to this amazing forum so hi to everyone.This is my first post , i use my Camper Ecoline to get this wires out from the cable.Im a huge fan of knives but till couple of weeks i never have a SAK one.But i start a work in one factory that is very dirty with alot of metal around me ,so i dont want to screw my good folders so i decied to get a SAK one just for work.... I dont know what to say guys i get this Camper Ecoline second hand from one Bulgarian knive forum and im just amazed how good is theese knives.I used it for alot of things and its just amazing i think that im kinda inlove in it.Now i can go outside without getting the SAK with me.I will buy one soon , i think i will buy a Helmsman because of the marlyn spike.This little fellas are just amazing.Love it even more then some of my big folders.Cheers guys
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: Smaug on July 05, 2015, 10:51:22 AM
Welcome Petar! Let me welcome you with this mini-history of my beginnings in SAK-dom.

I went through a similar progression, though not quite in the same order.

1) At first, as a kid of maybe 9, I had just a small 2-bladed folder. (gift from my grandpa)

2) Later, as maybe an 11 year old, I got my first Swiss army knife, an Victorinox Ecoline Recruit. (also from my grandpa, who brought it back from Switzerland) At that time, I considered it too nice to actually use, and I saved it back. Is this where my obsession started?

3) A couple years later again, a family friend gave me a Small Tinker with black scales as a Christmas gift. Woo, I felt like I was in heaven. That one was the same size as the Ecoline Recruit, but had SO much more! That was the one with the Phillips contoured to fit the handles (good) but was split in the middle to use as a can key. (bad) It had toothpick, tweezers, keyring, Phillips, and awl, which I didn't have before. Best of all, now that I had two, I felt like I could carry one all the time. So I carried that Small Tinker for about 6 years before I finally lost it. :(

4) I immediately replaced it with another Tinker, this one a full size one. But it was not the same. Not quite such a "handy" size, and not really any more useful for the extra size it added. (several years later, they brought back the Small Tinker again, and I got one, but I don't think they make black scales in that size...)

5) A few years later, my mom's boyfriend got me an Explorer. It had (and still does!) the perfect tool set. But sadly, it was too big for my kid-sized pockets, and I didn't want to be nerdy with a belt pouch, (fashion was important in those years, hehehe) so I hardly carried it at all.

6) At about the same time, I discovered tactical folders. Started carrying a Spyderco Delica. It felt much stronger, and certainly faster to get open and closed. A bit more handy too, with its thinness and pocket clip. But you know, I immediately missed the tools of the SAK!

7) Bought a few more tactlcal folders anyway.  ::)

8) Tried a Leatherman original; reasoning that the plier-based multi-tools should be more useful. I found that I hardly ever used the pliers, and the extra weight wasn't warranted. Also, the knife was not comfortable to use. Bought a few plier-based MTs anyway, thinking I could find the right one, maybe it would stick.

9) Tried classical American-style pocket knives. Why all these blades, and no tools?  ???

10) Realized SAKs are my favorites. Bought too many of them. In my work life as an electrical technician, I used a Tinker, Soldier, and Super Tinker. The Super Tinker was my favorite; the scissors just added SO much functionality. The Tinker got the most years of service. The Soldier had the best flat head screwdriver; I used that even more than the knife blade, I think. I eventually missed a Phillips, so got the Super Tinker. Then, missed having the Phillips in-line, and went back to my old Explorer.

****

Depending on the kind of work you do, you might find a plier-based multi-tool to be more useful in the end, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that you may just find a good old Victorinox Swiss army knife to be the best daily companion you could possibly wish for. If you decide to "upgrade" later, do yourself a favor and keep that original one too. It will hold a special place in your heart, I think.

Again, welcome to MTo.  :cheers:

(Sorry for the wall of text, I hope you see it, buried in this thread!)

I'll tell you what: If you send me that paracord scorpion (or a similar one) I'll send you a SAK and also a bonus gift worth about about 10X as much as the SAK as a warm welcome gift to the forum. I will have a hand-made souvenir from my friend in Bulgaria, and you will have another nice SAK and a cool thing from your friend from Chicago.

Also, please don't be self-conscious about your English. To many of us, English is our mother language. We are lucky enough that this forum is also in English. But at the same time, we really like the variety that comes from having members from all over the world. Your English is good enough that we get your meaning easily, and that is good enough.

Some people grew UP speaking English, and cannot be bothered to speak it correctly. By comparison, you are trying hard.

PS - the edge of the Victorinox reamers are a little sharp; careful you don't nick the sheath of the paracord! Now, I can see why you want the sailing SAK with the marlin spike, hehehe.

Yeah, that little 58mm bottle opener/Philips tool is spectacular. When I saw it in pictures, it looked too small to be effective at popping tops, I thought it would take multiple tries to get it off. When my manager arrived in the mail, I tried it out, and to my delight, it could pop caps in a single go, every time!

Not only opening bottles and #1 Phillips', but if you try it on a #2 Phillips that isn't super-tight, you'll be blown away by how well it works.

The combo tool in the 58mm Vics is a masterpiece.

The one in the small Wengers was good too. The tip isn't a proper Phillips, but is just the right size to fit into a #2, and works on smallish flat heads too.

That Philips rocks out on #0 and I think #00 heads as well. And the magnetized tip is doubly helpful on those tiny screws. Truly a masterpiece of engineering.

I had to use two SAKs today.   

First of all, using my Craftsman  I had to use the scissors to cut weed eater string to the right size, and then the saw to cut down some saplings.
I
I changed into my shorts later while relaxing afterwards, and a large bulky model like the Craftsman can be uncomfortable.   I left the Craftsman in the belt pouch on my jeans.    I put my little Wenger MicroLight Esquire in my shorts pocket.   I used the blade  to open freezer pops.   It might have a puny blade, but the blade is sharp!

I've been using the bottle opener this morning to open up a few thousand partially sealed envelopes.  They were put through a printer to get addresses printed on them, and the heat apparently caused the glue to stick a bit.  They need to be opened to have a notice inserted by running through our folding/inserting machine.

Also, please don't be self-conscious about your English. To many of us, English is our mother language. We are lucky enough that this forum is also in English. But at the same time, we really like the variety that comes from having members from all over the world. Your English is good enough that we get your meaning easily, and that is good enough.

Some people grew UP speaking English, and cannot be bothered to speak it correctly. By comparison, you are trying hard.

PS - the edge of the Victorinox reamers are a little sharp; careful you don't nick the sheath of the paracord! Now, I can see why you want the sailing SAK with the marlin spike, hehehe.


Hi i love your idea . give me on a personal message your info and i will do my best to send it to you :)

Interesting sounding method of holding shopping bags. But I can't quite picture how it works. Can you or anyone else post a picture of this method?

I was trying to strip the jacketing off of a cable of signal level wiring. The jacket material was designed to be abrasive-resistant, but I could NOT strip it with a proper dedicated wire stripper.

Out came the razor sharp blade of my Wenger Pocket Toolchest. I lightly cut a ring around the cable and it pulled right off. Thankfully, the tiny (24 AWG?) wires inside the cable had regular thermoplastic insulation instead of that exotic stuff.

Ever tried one? Just go forward instead of backwards.

When Vic designed and patented their new can opener, that was one coffin nail for Wenger.
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: NetsNJ on July 10, 2015, 10:21:12 PM
I've used both, and just like Wenger better. I am not saying the Vic design is bad, I just never got the hang of it. I always go to far and get stuck, which I admit is probably just bad technique.  But, it isn't something I am going to practice when the Wenger design works fine for me.

I agree, the Wenger can opener just works better for me as well.  As one of those strange lefties, my odd opener technique adapts better to the Wenger.  Now that I'm in a new line of work where the opener isn't needed on a constant basis, the Wenger claw gets used as a scraper and pick a lot. :tu:

...the Wenger claw gets used as a scraper and pick a lot. :tu:

It IS good for that, I think we all can agree on that. I sharpened mine, so it is sharper than stock, but not as sharp as a blade. Works well for those things you want to cut, but don't want to sacrifice a blade edge for. ;)

Then we played checkers and used our fishscalers to push the pieces around the board (he was in charge of removing the pieces that had been taken and for this he used the pliers on a swisschamp).

In his defence he is 8.

Okay, to start, it wasn't actually today.  I traveled to up to Oregon this weekend for my daughters B-day.  We had a big BBQ party and a lot of people brought bottled beer.

I had checked a bag for the flight, so was able to take my silver Alox Cadet.  Since none of the younger people at the party carried anything but OH pocket-clip blades, they were fumbling trying to open beers all night.  The Cadet saw tremendous action, received a lot of compliments, and I was able to recapture it before it went home with somebody else!

Let there be no doubt...SAKs Rule!

I also used it to cut some pizza. (no pic of that, I'm afraid) The razor sharp serrated edge was SO much better than the dull butter knives they were all using. Since it is serrated, there was no fear of dulling against the plate. I'm convinced this was a large part of the reason Victorinox puts the serrations toward the tip, instead of the base of the blades.

I cleaned the grease off of it with a bit of red wine (13% alcohol) afterwards, then rinsed the wine off with some water. :)

Oh, I almost forgot two other things:

1) I opened a package of ham, along the cut lined marked for scissors. Yeah, scissors would've been a better tool for the job, but the plain edge part of the Skipper's blade did the job just fine, with a little care.

2) I also used the tweezers to pick up this used band-aid off the basement floor, which someone in my building dropped there. Yuck. I'm going to wash them in alcohol now.

Used my 91mm Golfer (w/out the stinking hook) to open a bottle of wine...corkscrews work great!

I feel with the addition of three older 91mm Golfers to my rotation over the last month, that the two Compacts (with the stinking hooks) I have will now be put out to pasture for good!

(I wound up throwing that one away after finding a fork that was thinner but much less decayed)


I also used the blade to cut some thorn bushes back away from the hiking trail:

Before:

I cut some branches back too. I was a little tired after this particular one:

 :D


Back to reality, After cutting the first few branches back with the blade, I trimmed a "whackin' stick" with the OH Trekker NS, and did a public service by whacking/cutting all the thorn bushes back away from the trail. (no pix of that)

I also used the toothpick to pick some blackberry seeds out from between my teeth from the blackberries we found along the trail.

Came home and washed off the lemon eucalyptus oil* bug repellant and possible poison ivy from my skin with a nice shower.

After that 2 hour hike, I've downshifted to a Sportsman for the rest of the day. I may uncork a wine bottle with it later. I'm going to start making some tortilla soup today in the blender.


* This stuff works pretty well. Not quite as well as DEET, but I feel as though it is less likely to give me cancer down the road.

Drilled two more (tighter) holes in a belt today with the Sportsman's reamer.

Yesterday, I used the Manager's scissors to open a vacuum-pack of cheddarwurst, and the screwdriver tip on the nail file to tighten a loose screw on the chain guard of my bike, which was causing the crank to rub on it:

(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsto4b7j9n.jpg) (http://s134.photobucket.com/user/jzorns/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsto4b7j9n.jpg.html)

It is not tight enough; I need to hit it with some blue thread-locker,  then crank down on it with a big flat head screwdriver, but it got me home without that god-forsaken rubbing sound every rotation of my legs!

Yesterday night, I used the Manager to change batteries in my bike lights. The headlight has a tiny #1 Phillips, and the Manager's combo tool was just the thing. The taillight just needed a coin or something to pry the side open with, so I used the side of the nail file.

(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps0mdeuxxg.jpg) (http://s134.photobucket.com/user/jzorns/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps0mdeuxxg.jpg.html)

There's something special about the 58mm Vics that makes them really easy to sharpen. I think it is a combination of the soft steel and the fact that the blade is so short; when it's running down the ceramic rods, I don't have to pull it back as fast, so it can linger longer as it's sliding down, so fewer strokes = razor sharp edge.
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: Smaug on July 30, 2015, 04:54:10 PM
These were a couple days ago, but I just got them uploaded.

I used the awl on the Sportsman to open a bottle of windshield washer fluid for the Accord. The foil seals have no tab to make them easy to pull off; it's easier to punch a hole in it with something sharp, then just mash it around the inside of the neck with my thumb:
(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsub0hlfar.jpg) (http://s134.photobucket.com/user/jzorns/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsub0hlfar.jpg.html)


I used the can opener on the Sportsman to help peel a sticker off of a plum. I've found that my blades are too sharp for this; they just tend to slice right into the skin of the fruit. The can opener is just sharp enough, but not TOO sharp. It gets under that and peels it off without breaking the skin of the fruit:

The Skipper lives in my courier bag now.

At lunch today, I used the blade to butterfly-cut some cheddarwurst that I grilled the other night to make simple open-faced sandwiches:

I was out and about and had need of a Phillips screwdriver today! My girlfriend and I were at Walmart looking for an office chair. They had chairs out for you to see, but they were attached to the shelf with screws so you couldn't take them down and sit on them. That wouldn't do! How are you supposed to buy a chair if you can't sit in it first‽

Fortunately, I had my trusty manager on my keyring! I busted that baby out and removed the screws, so we could take the chair down and try it out properly. The chair was comfortable, but we never would have known if I didn't have my SAK!

And yes, we screwed it back in place after.  :salute:

Not weird. The cutting surface is two knife edges slicing past each other, just one continually moving point. On a classical nail clipper, you're cutting that whole big arc at one time, and by pinching through, instead of slicing.

The advantages of a dedicated nail clipper is that nail clippers don't have to be sharp to work well, and they can cut a consistent curve easier. (not as much filing afterwards to get the round shape we like)

I think this is a huge reason the Classic is popular with both genders: good scissors + nail file is useful for personal grooming, no matter who you are.

The old sliding bolt in the door slip-lock wouldn't slide when the handle turned so couldn't get the door open. Took out the hinge-pins to remove the door but the pin-barrels were in the way and the door couldn't be removed.  With the sharp tip of the reamer on my Huntsman was able to work the bolt sideways enough to open the door to replace the bolt.
Used this EDC SAK many times recently remodeling:  sawing the square corners out where the circular saw stopped, sawing in tight quarters against a wall, sawing a notch in a concrete form for the rebar to protrude to its weld, trimming frazzles from the edges of new carpet with the scissors...

A concrete form is the wood structure used to contain and shape poured concrete. There would be no reason the SAK saw couldn't handle that kind of wood. The notch was cut into the wood to allow for pieces of rebar to have clearance. This would have been done prior to any concrete being poured.

I used my Victorinox Manager's scissors to unlock the door of the ATM after the bank manager broke the key inside the lock...
How exactly do 58mm sake scissors open an ATM?
I think the important part is, that there was a broken off key inside the lock!

The key broke and stayed inside the lock, with only a millimeter of the broken part protruding from the lock. Pliers couldn't reach it to grab it, so only scissors could grab it and very gently twist it to open the lock, and so the outer door.

It's a small lock, nothing fancy. It's the inner door with combinations and sensors that provides security.

So the Spirit came in handy this afternoon. Doing some maintenance and restoration on an old truck, specifically the front drive axle. Used the smurf out of the scraper/chisel for decades old grease and gunk buildup, the pliers for straightening and removing cotter pins from castle nuts, and the scraper/chisel again for the gasket surfaces. Also used the pliers for brake springs and the small SD for clearing out tight spaces that had filled up with debris, then used the file to clean up some threads and file down some jagged edges on different surfaces. Also used the wire cutters for cutting lengths of baling wire to hang the driveline and brake backing plates while I work on other stuff (namely the ring and pinion gears). The locking scraper/chisel is a little easier to use and more effective than the 91/93 caplifter/SD that I usually use.

The Spirit is a really useful tool, but what's nice is not having to make multiple trips to the toolbox for dedicated tools, so it really earned it's keep today.  :tu:

Then I used the caplifter to open some refreshments!  :D

Went out to take some photos of my recent acquisitions on the rock wall. Some spines on a yucca plant (bayonet bush) were uncomfortably close to my face. Instead of getting a pruner out of the shed I used the scissors on my Traveler to trim them back. Worked well.

Apologies if this is a bit gross, medical-ish use!

I am in the unfortunate position of having human papiloma virus - aka warts on my fingers.  My doctor has given me saycitic acid and emery boards to kill the virus and file off rough/dead skin.  Beleive it or not the metal/nail file on my XLT does a far more efficient job  :)

Sorry... lol.

PS if anybody has any remedies to suggest, I am all ears, as my fingers are in a hell of a mess :(  I know it is viral so there's not much that can be done and I have to wait it out.... :twak:

Switched from Manager to Soldier for yesterday evening's walk through the field and woods. Used the Soldier's T-Phillips to remove an old, cheap headlight from my bike:

Had my son carry my Hiker; in case we saw a good tree fork for making a slingshot. The slingshot bands from Hong Kong came in the mail the other day, so now he needs to get serious, hehehe.  But that trail is too well-maintained. He fiddled with it the entire walk and car ride to and from, and he and I talked about what tools he thinks would be most useful on a SAK. He decided:

I told him about the flashlight on SAKs, how it's handy, but weak and makes the SAK thick. Wouldn't he rather have a separate flashlight? Yes. So it sounds like a Woodsman is his perfect model. For now, Explorer and Hiker will fit the bill.

The small flatheads on the back of some Vic models are perfectly sized for the torx screws on my LM Sidekick.  Not ideal, but I don't have those drivers and it doesn't seem to be stripping the screw or damaging the SAK. 

I couldn't demonstrate and take the picture, but using my Swiss Champ and my Champion in tandem worked to adjust these screws. 

I know you animals love seeing multi-tool on multi-tool action.

I've used those backside fine drivers on small allen set screws before. :tu: Specifically the kind they use to attach towel racks to the wall mount bracket in most residential bathrooms these days. Had the holder come off in my hand once and only had a Ranger in the pocket, no allen bits. Backside fine driver was spot on and the towel rack is attached firmly.

I helped some friends from church with some landscaping last night. Took along my $8 Champion. Used the small blade to cut some small leaves/branches from a tree and used the saw for the ones that were too big. Everything else required larger tools and some elbow grease. :) 

The Champion is the largest SAK I've had, I really like it but it's too big for regular pocket carry for me. When I'm working I don't mind it in a back pocket though.

My car's opening handle (driver's door) broke after 12 years of abuse. I opened 2 holes on the remaining piece of the handle with my Spirit's awl and passed a long cable tie as a substitute. Someone broke my right mirror and I fixed un place with 4 more zip ties. Both broke months ago but I just realized I might never fix them the way I should and proceeded in this temporary (4ever) solution.

I used my champion to open two cordless telephone handsets at work so that I could clean the circuit boards with spirits. With the humidity here condensation seems to form on the board and it starts to interfere with the functioning of the buttons.

The can openers curved edge is an excellent pry tool for parting plastic cases.

Ohhh more importantly I used the main blade to cut up a sausage roll!

Used the saw on my camper to saw through some very thick/tough weeds growing on the side of my house.  (An assist from my LM Sidekick, which I used to hold the stems as I sawed.)

I'm just back from vacation. Here are a couple  shots of my son "exploring" with his Explorer. You may recall it's my old one, from the 80s.  Here, he's closely examining small piles of salt and sugar to see if he can see a difference. He found that sugar looks more crystalline and salt is more rounded. (Probably due to being shook/smashed against its fellow crystals in the shaker)

Yesterday, while travelling in the car to town, I was able to use my Explorer's corkscrew to loosen my double-knotted shoe lace that would not come loose so I could re-tie it properly. I loosed all the knots in the lace, and was able to re-tie it properly.   Having a corkscrew instead of the Phillips on the backside is much better.  The corkscrew has plenty of uses, while the Phillips only has one or two (if it's the old can key model).   I think I may end up getting a SwissChamp or Champion soon as a result so I can have everything I need.   I also used the scissors and tweezers on other assorted stuff.

Yeah, but it's a BIG one use. There are Phillips' everywhere. #2 Phillips is the #1 fastener I encounter in everyday life, followed distantly by #1 Phillips. (battery doors on kids' toys) Not an issue on the Explorer, since it has the superior inline #2.

Consider the Workchamp (http://www.victorinox.com/ch/app/product/Swiss-Army-Knives/Category/Pocket-knives-with-lock-blade/Pocket-knives-with-lock-blade-111-mm/WorkChamp/0.9064) instead. You'll add the excellent inline #1 Phillips, a longer file, longer saw, and locking blade. You'd lose the fish scaler, small blade, chisel, mini screwdriver on the back, and Plus tools though. I guess it comes down to whether you want more tools, or a more useful saw and file. The larger blade is also much better for food prep than the large blade on a 91mm model.

The Explorer is not really comparable to the 'champ' models. It has fewer tools, but is much easier to carry.

I think that one is subjective. I prefer to carry a SwissChamp or CT41 over the Explorer. I find the Explorer is too square in the pocket and doesn't ride as well on a pocket hanger.

YMMV of course. :)

Manager's scissors to trim down a straw for my daughter while eating out tonight. Actually, SHE did it! (she's 3)

We stopped by Bass Pro to look at fishing gear and pick her up that pink camouflage Classic, but they're out of them. It's apparently the most popular color. (They also have red and black )

I also cleaned and filed my nails with it, and picked my teeth with it.

Probably depends on how you carry it.

I use a homemade pocket dangler that lets the SAK ride vertically along the outer seam of the pocket (typically worn in jeans or cargo type pants). SAKs that are larger or slimmer than an Explorer will stay in the position I put them in (corkscrew to the seam) and don't want to move. The Explorer likes to rotate and get twisted in the pocket.

Nothing! Nor for the rest of the month, as I'm in the Leatherman Juice challenge this month.

The only problem with this is that I'm traveling twice this month. Can't take the Juice with me, as it would mean checking a bag for $25 (twice each trip) or mailing it ahead to myself. Not worth the trouble, so I'll probably cop out and take a bladeless Wenger Esquire or Gerber Dime Travel.

A tip for the Rebar: Use a Dremel and grinding wheel or sanding drum to break the corner off the back of the file and saw, and it becomes much more comfortable to use as a pliers.

Fear not, I meant the small fruity kind. ;) I actually typed it 'Kiwis' at first, then I realized that means a PERSON from New Zealand. Corrected it to 'kiwis.' Buy my buddy zoidberg missed the distinction, it seems.  :pok:


In other news, my Explorer Plus made the ultimate Day-Save today:

Went to my son's first Boy Scout meeting. After all the formalities, their project was to build a fire in the church courtyard. There were 4 teams of scouts. The first one whose fire could burn the twin at a certain height (maybe 18"?) won. My son's group won.

The problem was that afterwards, the marshmellows and graham crackers came out. Some kids were lucky enough to find long, thin sticks. Not my boy. The only stick left was about 3/4" square. Way too blunt.  I asked him: "Where's your stick, LiFu?" > "I can't find one." > "What about THAT one?" > "It's not sharp enough." > "Why don't you sharpen it with your Swiss army knife?" >  " :cry:  I don't have it." > "Wanna borrow mine?" >  :D

Even my wife had to smile to herself.

I wonder if it will ever sink into his thick head that it is a good idea to carry a SAK whenever he's not in school or on a plane...

I took a boot lace and some duct tape and made my own....now the trick is to get the hang of using it without injuring myself or anything/one around me! I used the leather punch on my Huntsman to put the holes in the sling, and am trying to get the tape pliable enough to hold the stone in the pocket.

loosened some screws on the motor wiring compartment. I quite like these screws that some European companies are using lately: they have Torx, and a slot for a flat head screwdriver. So if one has the right tool, (Torx) it's very easy. If not, everyone has a large flat head, right? Except me. I had my Compact, so only had a medium flat head. But one end of it gripped a Torx lobe OK, and the other end was in the slot. I managed to do this without slipping or busting my knuckles, which I consider a minor miracle with the junky combo tool flat head:

Removed some Phillips' to take off the back cover:

...and punched an extra hole in a belt with the reamer:

MT was a modded Vic Compact; hook and corkscrew were replaced with Phillips and the reamer.

Used my Spirit to assemble a shoe rack for one of my residents - mainly used the in line philips, but also the awl to pilot some holes and the pliers to straighten some bent pins.

Took my youngest son (4 years old) for a hike this morning and used my Farmer's saw to cut down this small tree to make him a walking stick. After I finish picking out the bark, sand it and put on an oil finish I think it will look pretty cool.  He loves it already. :)

I used these two yesterday. The scissors in the Lessard Mod for cutting thread needed to fix some window shades and the CS in the Hardwood Cheese to open a bottle of wine. This helped explain my wife why I need several SAKs. I could have completed both chores with only one of these SAKs  :D (good thing she doesn't know what a Compact, Climber, Explorer... are).

Use the Ruby Swisschamp saw to trim a 2x4 for an outside shed project.  Just had to cut off about a half inch and the saw worked pretty good since I had to cut it from an ackward angle and somewhat tight area!  Worked fine but probably just took a minute longer than it should have!  LOL

Small blade to open a box and cut a box down.

Used my Evo14 to drain a coconut.

1st, I used the corkscrew to pull the "cork" out of it: (one of the three dots in the end is soft)

Next, I used the reamer to drill out one of the hard ones, to use as a vent:
(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps1iqjdnpf.jpg) (http://s134.photobucket.com/user/jzorns/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps1iqjdnpf.jpg.html)


Success!

(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q112/jzorns/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsv3kkyt4m.jpg) (http://s134.photobucket.com/user/jzorns/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsv3kkyt4m.jpg.html)


After that, I put it in a plastic bag and smashed it on the concrete outside, to crack it into some reasonably-sized pieces. Then, came inside and used a paring knife to cut out the meat of the pieces.

Lastly, I looked up some YouTube videos on how to do it properly. 'seems there's a more efficient want to do that last part.

Last time I did one, I just chucked a 3/8" drill bit in my cordless drill and drilled a couple holes in it. It went faster, but was not as thrilling. I didn't eat the meat that time, just threw out the shell/meat.

I used my pioneer while BBQ'ing the other day. I was able to start the pit and re-light it using the awl and my LMF ferro rod. Afterwards the awl came in handy attacking some corn on the cob.

Still preparing stuff for tonight's halloween thing with the kids!



Found these "reusable" glow sticks (actually LED lights powered by LR batteries) and would have the kids use them instead of the usual "break and shake" ones.

A Talisman? I gather it's not a specific model but instead what the word actually means?

Prising off the scales from a Climber that my friend's father uses. They were heavily damaged so I replaced them with some plus scales with all the trimmings, and sharpened the blades up for him. He hasn't even owned the knife that long but he beats the hell out of it daily. I reckon another couple of years and it'll be totally worn out (the small blade particularly)

Well, my wife borrowed my black Pioneer on its first day of carry to trim some flower stems she bought for my mom's birthday. We were in a parking lot and she went in front of our Jeep to trim. When she came back, I learned she used the concrete curb as a chopping block. Now I'll be spending the evening taking the sawtooth edge off of my main blade. I have serious trouble understanding that woman's logic sometimes.

I've heard that story before, in various iterations. Must be the main reason for broken/unusable/abused blades. Lesson: do not let ANYONE touch your knife.

Yea, I was considering getting her one with scissors or keeping a large multitool in the vehicles. I'm not a fan of scissors but they would have saved me quite a bit of sharpening last night!  Friends and family don't always understand proper use and care of one's tools. Hmmm . . . maybe that is how my dad felt when me and my brother would "borrow" his wrenches and sockets when we were younger and not always put them back.

Had a nice one today.

Was visiting my old mum when she showed me a new doorbell a neighbour had given her to replace hers (stopped working last week). Because I've only recently started carrying a sak I was just about to make my excuses to do it next time when I had my tools with me when I remembered about the Explorer in my pocket.

Anyway, the wiring in my mum's house is mostly ancient and the doorbell attachment was original too. Took a fair bit of prying to get the cover off (awl managed it in the end) then I was dealing with two types of screws (flat-head and tin-opener tip). Was very tricky to get the available wire round the terminals in the new unit and I was just about to start cursing myself for not getting a sak with pliers when I noticed the keyring/lanyard hole....absolutely perfect for putting the right bend in the wires. So satisfying to spot this 'hidden' use.  :) I realized later that the eye of the awl would have done it but it would have been much trickier with the available space.

Anyways, doing the screws back up I used first the can opener and then the in-line philips. I know there's a lot of debate about philips tools on saks (in-line v backtool, is the can-opener enough, etc), and my observations were that the can opener tip gave the feeling that I could damage it if I overdid it, I got no such feeling from the in-line. I would not have been able to use a back-tool philips because of the space available. So, a win for the in-line in my book, but early days as I've only been carrying a sak for a month.

Only tools I've not used so far are the magnifier and mini driver. I'd love to be convinced about the magnifier but at the moment it appears to be a slot-stealer. Time will tell.

Had a nice one today.

Was visiting my old mum when she showed me a new doorbell a neighbour had given her to replace hers (stopped working last week). Because I've only recently started carrying a sak I was just about to make my excuses to do it next time when I had my tools with me when I remembered about the Explorer in my pocket.

Anyway, the wiring in my mum's house is mostly ancient and the doorbell attachment was original too. Took a fair bit of prying to get the cover off (awl managed it in the end) then I was dealing with two types of screws (flat-head and tin-opener tip). Was very tricky to get the available wire round the terminals in the new unit and I was just about to start cursing myself for not getting a sak with pliers when I noticed the keyring/lanyard hole....absolutely perfect for putting the right bend in the wires. So satisfying to spot this 'hidden' use.  :) I realized later that the eye of the awl would have done it but it would have been much trickier with the available space.

Anyways, doing the screws back up I used first the can opener and then the in-line philips. I know there's a lot of debate about philips tools on saks (in-line v backtool, is the can-opener enough, etc), and my observations were that the can opener tip gave the feeling that I could damage it if I overdid it, I got no such feeling from the in-line. I would not have been able to use a back-tool philips because of the space available. So, a win for the in-line in my book, but early days as I've only been carrying a sak for a month.

Only tools I've not used so far are the magnifier and mini driver. I'd love to be convinced about the magnifier but at the moment it appears to be a slot-stealer. Time will tell.

Nice work  :tu:

BTW, the notch on the underside of the bottle opener which some people call the wire stripper, was originally called a wire bender - and sounds like it may have been ideal for the job  :tu:

Yeah, I see that now. Would be handy if there were a blade that closed next to it for enhanced stripping abilities, I guess there is on some models.

Anyhoo....the pen saw some serious action last night as I couldn't be arsed hunting one down. My Mrs is the kind who shakes her head any time she sees me reach for my EDC sak but I could tell even she was surprised to see a pen emerge.  :climber:

The hook trick works great by the way. Takes 20 seconds or so to adjust (your hand just isn't used to holding a pen that shape!) but then I was all ready to write a novella.

Speaking of Mrs Dunkeld....despite her bemusement at all things sak-related, I've got her to the point of officially requesting a rambler/vagabond as a Christmas present.  ;) Can't decide between a Midnite Manager or a nice alox vagabond, though I'm probably thinking more about what I want.  :)

Nice work, Dunkeld. I converted my grandmother from not seeing the need for a pocket knife to EDCing a Vic Classic, and got my mother carrying a Tinker, then upgraded to a Climber  :climber:

PS. Nobody expects the pen!

I was finally able to use the in-line Philips on my new-to-me "Ti Toolbox."  I lucked out recently on this one. I've been waiting for a response from Syph for an almost identical model but with pliers in the center (this one has a file) and boom! This turned up for sale on another forum. I couldn't resist.

Today at work I was able to fix the computer stand. The set of Philips screws in the background hold a piston that keeps my laptop from swiveling around. Since it was out of alignment my computer stand would swing around my patrol unit wildly every time I drove around. Now it's solid as a rock.

I used the backstrap Philips to install a pencil sharpener for my son.  It's a great tool...it took a little maneuvering to get into the screw but once it hit it was easy.  It's surprising how much torque you can apply with that screwdriver.

The 84mm Golfer got quite a workout today.  Early this morning I had to open close to a dozen different electrical boxes and NEMA cans.  Some of the NEMA cans were a challenge for the combo tool, but it opened everything and is still in great condition.

At a Thanksgiving pot luck lunch that I was invited to, of course a few brought bottles of wine, but no corkscrew...so the SAK showed itself well!

The Spirit is just an amazing tool....  Set aside how pretty it is, it's incredibly durable and punches way over its weight limit in the hard use category.  I also really like the scissors that seem to get so much derision here.  They can easily be modded to open wider, but I've never had a reason to need that.  They are very tough, sharp, and absolutely eat things like zip ties and electrical wire.

Yes, I do agree that the form and appearance looks too sweet, I thought so when I first saw it. But after a few times of use, I never hesitate to use the Spirit.
I rarely used the scissors, because I always pair the Spirit with Compact or Manager. Indeed they are perfect couple of MT for me.

Did a slight mod to my Spirit this afternoon, very slight though... :ahhh

The butter blade serrated razor is fine for most things, but I wanted the tip to be more plain edge for drag cutting. I only took off the first tooth of the serrations, but it made a big difference on a cutting surface! No more hanging up or veering. Started with 2000 grit sandpaper and finished with 6000. That's it on the left compared to my spare (factory edge) on the right. Now if I could figure out a way to have a small utility blade... >:D

After a soapy scrub, used the Spirit's blade for food prep (for the first time), yay!  :)

Thanks to the Spirit modders here for the inspiration (and courage) to alter this tool.  :ahhh

It has been a whole year of Spirit EDC, since hiraethus sent me an alox mod with scissors to pair with it, because my Spirit is the two bladed model. I can say that I used it a lot and in a very few occasions I felt the need for something else or something more. But what I missed was the playability of a multilayered SAK, such as the Swisschamp regular, XLT and XAVT. When I'm home I drag them out (mostly the XLT I EDC'd before) and play with them. Cling! Glong! Click!

Bash a hole in the shell; lever out the shell with hands support to minimise side force on the sak; and we have the oyster. Also dig out the oyster with the awl.

Here's a strange one. My neighbor was complaining about a tooth he chiped that was cutting the inside of his mouth. I joked and pulled out my SC and jokingly opened the file. He grabbed my SC and headed for the bathroom and filed his tooth (good thing I just washed it).  It worked .

I have also used the caplifter on several occasions to do this, the Spicer Hub Loks while very heavy duty tend to corrode enough with moisture to get sticky. WD40 doesn't last long in this environment.  :salute:

Last night I was able to put my SAK to use. I noticed that no one had installed the toilet paper holder for my wife's grandmother. Her restroom has raised railing to push off of to stand up and thus the older toilet paper holder was removed since it was in the way. So I got to use the blade to cut open the package, the awl to drill for the sheet rock anchors, and the in line Philips to put in the four screws.

I used the pruner blade on my Rogue as a sort of toothpick, and it worked well enough.  I just have to be careful ;)  I guess that helps with the lack of scale tools, but no alternative for tweezers on the Rogue.  If it had the pliers, that would help.  That's part of why I want to combine my Mechaneer and Rogue.

Here's an option

First time for me to assemble a Bandai model kit using SAK scissors and blade.  So much more that it's a 58mm.  My only comment is that there are plastic numbs which feel a little too thick for 58mm scissors.  It can still cut through it, just with more effort and sore fingers.  No sign of damage on the scissor blades even if I was using it to cut plastic all morning.

Used my Compact to cut a seatbelt in order to extract the driver from a car that was crashed on its side.  Driving home from Christmas at my inlaws when an older red car blew past us (snowy conditions on a mountain highway).  A couple of minutes later and I see the same car on its side with a couple of other cars stopped to help.  So I stopped and got out.  By the time I got across to the car there were about five other guys already there.  The driver was OK but having a bit of a panic attack.  No one else had a knife so I cut the seatbelt and we lifted her out. It cut really easily.  Good thing I sharpened it on the bottom of a coffee mug a couple of days ago.

I've always believed that an unused SAK is a wasted SAK so I buy 'em to use 'em (aside from the novelty of collecting them).

I want to bring a newly bought Evolution 28 to its paces by having it cut more than just paper.  Here's a little project I'll be doing using the Evolution 28.  If things don't work as well as planned, then it'll be back to the Minichamp in building a kit.

Basically, I want to see how fun this knife can be.

Finished the kit. I have to admit that I eventually ended up using Bandai cutters since the parts were getting too small for the scissors. I did use the blade to smoothen the point where the part was cut off the tree. Darn good knife and I like the way the scissors work.

Temo, is that a Wenger Ueli Steck knife I see?  How do you like it?
Yes. I like it a lot. Small and compact, still feels bigger in use then actually is. Blade feels stronger then other same size tools. Only thing I would change are fixed size wrench holes in blade to some multisize wrench. Well 10mm is quite common, like to have that. There is also rotation marked in blade so it is not recommended to use force against lock even that feels reliable. Again blade is so sharp I avoid possibilities to get that on my fingers :) But yes, mostly use features like blade, openers and file. Bit hole (adapter) and wrench holes are bonuses, would do without but ok to have (holes do not add extra weight or anything). And anyway wrench hole used also to open a blade one handed.

I could think many have missed to think tool as branded to so narrow area. But on my opinion a good concept to multipurpose pocket knife. I like a bit heavier blade and don't mind if shape is not general knife standard. I see blade quite usable in many tasks.

Well.. several things I have done today... Redneck Tinker for food prep at lunch.

I got a new carabine key for my keyring. But at the lock it had some very sharp edges/burrs. So I broke these edges/burrs with the file on that key. Great little tool! :)

Company sat in my chair and broke the backrest, so I glued it. Then about four months later they came over again and broke it again, so this time I went to glue it and screw it! Only thing is it didn't work so I said screw it and used the farmer to cut off the backrest and keep the bottom half for when they come over again, this way they can have there "designated" seat! So one side is flat and straight, I'm trying to reglue the other side so maybe when it takes I can cut it to match?? Guess we'll see.. Here the wife snapped a pic..

Soldier 1961--used the caplifter to open  and close the battery compartment of my old Philco Mini Radio Phono (bought it for $5 from a family friend back in the summer who'd bought it mistakenly at auction thinking it was the charger to a mining cap light) combination AM radio/record player.  Used screwdriver tip of can opener to tighten the door knob of the cabinet when I got the Gorilla Tape.  Reamer was used to open a fussy CapriSun straw wrapper.

SwissCard--scissors to cut the tape to size to mend the Philco's battery holder (which had been broken and repaired, the repair fell apart after probably 40 years).

Some of the twine used to tie down some round hay bales had broken in high winds (the paracord I suggested to use for the most of it when the bales were covered up a while back held, luckily), so I had to install some rubber straps to replace the broken twine.

I was carrying my Soldier today.  Used the blade to open the package of rubber tie-down straps and the bag inside that held the S-hooks, and the reamer to remove the over-mold closing up the holes on the tarp straps.  It was a success.  I did have to re-position the straps later on today, however.

I've always believed that an unused SAK is a wasted SAK so I buy 'em to use 'em (aside from the novelty of collecting them).

I want to bring a newly bought Evolution 28 to its paces by having it cut more than just paper.  Here's a little project I'll be doing using the Evolution 28.  If things don't work as well as planned, then it'll be back to the Minichamp in building a kit.

Basically, I want to see how fun this knife can be.

Finished the kit. I have to admit that I eventually ended up using Bandai cutters since the parts were getting too small for the scissors. I did use the blade to smoothen the point where the part was cut off the tree. Darn good knife and I like the way the scissors work.

Didn't directly use the SAK on this but rather on the tools I used to color up the kit.  Used the scissors to trim the q-tips I used on this and to trim the tips of the felt-tipped marker.

Yes they're like double their USD cost -- using a USD1:Php50 exchange rate to make it simple, a USD10 set costs USD18 here.  The new Millennium Falcon which is supposed to retail for USD150 goes for USD300 on retail (online sellers offer it at USD200). 

In SAK terms at retail cost: a Swisstool Spirit costs USD120, a CT41 at USD103 and a Swisschamp at USD74.

This alox pen knife is one of my whittlers, I use the small pen blade
Someone please remind of the name for this model, Secretary???
It is a very worn advertisement knife I have had for at least 25 years, found at Flea market
Not very pretty, but it pulls it's weight

Earlier today I was able to put my Deluxe Tinker to use around the house. My son and I put together a train table for he and his sister. The provided screws were either Philips head or required an Allen wrench which came with the package.

Everything turned out nice and both little ones (ages 5 and 3) were quiet as ever for once as they played for two straight hours before bed time.

Just be warned that it will require periodic re-tightening depending on how much it gets pushed around and leaned on by your kids.

I have been on a diet since the new year in an attempt to drop ten pounds.

Here's a diet tip for you: check out http://perfecthealthdiet.com/. It's not as fast for weight loss as Paleo, but it is sustainable without health issues.

Basically:

- No bread or oil from most grains or seed, so beer, wheat, rye, etc. products are a no-go. (I eat Udi's gluten-free bread; it is good, but expensive, at $8/loaf)
- White rice, taro, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are OK. Eat these with fat and vinegar whenever possible to lower their glycemic index. (which spikes insulin and causes weight gain)
- No dairy or soy milk (substitute almond, cononut, or rice milk)
- No legumes (ex. peas, peans)
- Fish, duck, and ruminant (beef, lamb, etc.) meat is the most beneficial.
- Pork and chicken are not bad, but not beneficial either
- Eat fist-sized portions
- No sugar
- Fruits are OK, but especially berries.

This diet has helped me keep a stable weight without needing much extra exercise. Just brisk walking 30-60 minutes per day is enough.

I found that it's tough to eat like that at first, but it is more sustainable, since I can still have certain carbs. I DO cheat sometimes too, and one bad day doesn't seem to throw me off.

Used the sd on my Classic´s file to remove staples from papers at work. I love to use the sd there. Much better than those spring driven jaws that are also used to this. The paper does not get damaged - with those removers I just rip the paper apart.

Oh... the mainblade on the Explorer did some kitchen duty for lunch.

... and will opene one or another beverage this evening.

Thanks sir....and the family continues to expand!  I cleaned her up and actually put her to use repairing my sofa tonight.  That Philips head works well, and those wonderful scissors work like magic!  My son told me not to take my eyes off of it or it might disappear into his collection!!   :D

My wife and son are not at home today. I´m not that chef per se. And I like the meals we sometimes got while I was in the Army. So I decided to make a gulasch soup today for lunch. Traditinally this stuff is canned. So I used the can opener to open the can.

It was a wonderful feast with - with some toast bread - it made me feel like I was 20 years old and in the army-camp in the alps. Wonderful feast  :D :D

I'm a European Mutt (parts German, Polish, Ukraine and British) so goulash is in my vocabulary. I might have to make some in the near future. My mom used to make really good goulash!


Humpaa----> Is there a certain goulash recipe you use more often than not?
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: Humppa on February 09, 2016, 06:09:04 PM
Well, actually not. I´m not that cooker ... being more an eater. :D
So I don´t have a reciepe for this. But my mum also made goulash when I was younger and lived in my parents´ house. She used only beef, no pork - it can also be made with deer. Roasted it with onions. Added paprika powder and several other ingredients I can´t remember. Then poured it up with water and let it all cook for several hours. Then let it cool down and stand over night. The next day it got warmed and served. IIRC she always said it, it has relax one night and then it is done for eating. Per taste she added some chilis or not.
But that´s just my mom´s interpretion. If you ask an hungarian guy, you well propably get a completely different recipe.

@harley: You could ask... maybe the swiss need an experienced infantery man. I was a Mountain Man and it was a nice time in Bad Reichenhall.

Late in the season, but finally replaced the screen panel in the screen door on the front door with the glass window panel. Been an unsually warm winter. Makes a noticeable difference in heat retention around the front door! It's a PITA because of how heavy the glass panel is (nearly the size of the door). Requires removing a hard vinyl retention strip on each side of the panel. The large screwdriver blade on the Woodsman was made for the task. Once it's started at the top, pulling the strip out down to the bottom is easy. If it looks like this has been done before, yes, it's the 20th year, and the Woodsman has been used for nearly all of them!

Just remembered, also used the file on the blue Classic I keep on my keyring to clean up a thumbnail that was starting to split. One of the handiest uses for the Classic.

The Woodsman once again comes through with removing the ancient, battered, chipped and cracked scales on this old Classic SD. The edge of the can opener is thin enough to wedge under the ends of the scales and pop them off. Photo shows the knife after I cleaned it up some . . . it was gross beyond belief . . . the knife sides under the scales had thick crudmium plating. I had found this black one years ago in a parking lot and it had been obviously driven over a couple times when I picked it up, but it still worked and I kept it on my keyring for some years until its scales got one too many cracks and wouldn't hold a toothpick securely. It was replaced with a blue one sitting in a drawer. Now I'm awaiting the new scales for it, and a replacement toothpick (need to clean up the tweezers too).

Got several scales yesterday in the mail. So I decided to change at least two of my tools. A Recruit and an Explorer were the way to go. All still in boring red.

I used the blunt tip on the file on the Cadet and the file itself to reach the red scales and slightly pry them out

Today several SAK were used  . . .


Breakfast, and needed to cut open the package of lox. What better to use than the Woodsman's scissors?


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Opening%20Lox.jpg)




Mid-afternoon, my mailbox hit the USPS lottery with 5 packages, so the Woodsman is called into service again to see what arrived in package #1:


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Opening%20Pioneer.jpg)


Oooh . . . it's a nifty Alox Pioneer!


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Pioneer%20Opened.jpg)


On to package #2, with what else than the new Pioneer!


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Opening%20Classics%20EvoWood%2081%20and%20Tools.jpg)


Wow! A couple Classic SD, a really NICE EvoWood 81 and a ratchet set with bits!!


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Classcs%20EvoWood%2081%20and%20Tools%20Opened.jpg)


On to package #3, another padded envelope, still using the Pioneer


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Opening%20GAK.jpg)


Aha, an OH GAK Trekker!!! Been waiting for this one . . .


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/GAK%20Opened.jpg)


Now for package #4 using the OH GAK . . .


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Opening%20Wenger%20Pouch.jpg)


Inside is a nice medium size Wenger pouch . . . and it will be a hammer seeking a nail, but that won't last long


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Wenger%20Pouch%20Opened.jpg)


Now for the last package, #5, still using the OH GAK Trekker (oops, a little blurry on this one)


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Opening%20Trekker%20Pouch.jpg)


It's the tall pouch for the 111mm Trekkers . . .


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Trekker%20Pouch%20Opened.jpg)


And just in time for the OH GAK Trekker too!

Lunch time and going for the chicken and dumplings fortified with small ham cubes. Need to get the chicken and dumplings out of the can using, of course, a SAK. The Pioneer gets the call for this one, making short work of the can lid in about 30 seconds (from lotsa practice opening thousands of C-rations using my Woodsman  :) ). Now to find a Hummer, deuce and a half, or power generator exhaust manifold to heat it . . . oh, wait, I'm home. I can use a stove!

Not anything that dramatic, but I did have a thumbnail starting to split, and it was snagging on everything. The Nail Clip 580 received the emergency call!


The first step was trimming the nail back slightly to get rid of as much of the split as possible . . .

Then the file was used to smooth things out and finish the job. No more snagging!

'Tis the season for a little Eiswein after dinner. The new 2014 130th Victorinox Anniversary Woodsman gets its first task opening the wine bottle! (I also have a 35 year old Woodsman with a few slight differences due to 3-1/2 decades separating them with minor revisions to some of the tools.) If you're wondering what Eiswein is, Wikipedia has a marvelous article on it. I discovered Eiswein when I was living in Germany quite a few years ago. Seemed appropriate in more ways than one  :)

Most kitchen sink cabinets have a couple of panels just under the edge of the counter above the doors to the cabinets below the sink. These panels can be hinged to hold a small tray with scrubbers, scratch pads, cleaning brushes, etc. Provides just a little more convenient storage right at the sink, but keeps it out of sight, and you don't have to rummage around in the cabinet below for these things. Found the knob one of them loose this evening!

Oops . . . the screws holding the tray are also loose for some reason. We'll just tighten them a little . . .

The Workchamp comes through and prevents me from having an OCD fit over a loose pull knob (which drives me crazy). I'm impressed with it and will have to write up a review on it after I get to use it a little more. A couple things I would modify a little, but they're nits. Glad I didn't get the "XL" version as the handle on this one is nearly perfect in width, and its got a very good tool set.

A tip for next time this happens: have a little tube of blue thread locker handy, so you don't have to redo it every 6 months.

This switch on the left is one of two switches controlling the main hallway lights in a "two-way" circuit, which means you can turn the lights on at one end and turn them off at the other. If wired correctly, when one is up and the other is down the lights will be on. When both are up or both are down, the lights should be off. For the past 20 years, it's been wrong and it's been like a tiny piece of gravel in my shoe (I have Princess and the Pea feet in spite of 20 years of being a ground pounder). So, tonight I decided it was time to fix it. Doesn't need to be rewired, just flip the switch over, and Bob's your Uncle.

Some like it hot, but I don't. Got blown across a room one time when a knuckle on a finger brushed across the plate cap on one of the final tubes in a 500 watt HF transmitter while I was neutralizing it (a task that requires power on and key down). It was about 750 volts with about 700 milliamp capacity and it wasn't just DC, it was RF too, which caused one hell of an RF burn. Increased my respect for electricity that day. So, a trip to the breaker box ensures two breakers are pulled (each switch in this box is on a different breaker circuit).

I'm wearing the new Delemont Evo 23 today, so it gets its maiden voyage with this task. The problem here is the cover screws are set down deep into the cover plate. The normal flat-tip on the bottle opener it too big to fit all the way into the hole. No problem, the Evo 23 magnifier has a long narrow flat-tip that can loosen the screws enough that the larger flat-tip can finish removing them.


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/Light%20Switch%2003.jpg)

Pull the switch out just far enough to flip it over and put it back without kinking or nicking the wiring inside the box . . .


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/Light%20Switch%2005.jpg)


For those in the U.S. and presumably Canada, the "red" wire is used on a two-way circuit as the 2nd "traveler" wire between the two switches, which is why it's red, and not black or white. It's considered potentially just as hot as the black wire if the power is on. Now that the switch has been inverted, it's time to put it back together, turn the breakers back on and perform the "Smoke Test." Other switch down at the far end of the hallway, this one up, we have light, and no smoke is leaking out of the wiring.

Put the cover plate back on using the driver tip on the magnifier and we're done!

Went to get some burger patties out of a tube of them in the freezer, and as is typical when they get down to the last half-dozen or so in a tube of 16, they're quite solidly frozen together.


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/Burger%20Batoning%2001.jpg)


 Splitting them apart is a PITA, and many do it with varying results using a table knife. Time for another round of burger batoning. This time, though, it's a task for the Hunter Pro, with its wedge shape blade edge and thick back.


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/Burger%20Batoning%2002.jpg)


The blade is a good length for this and it gets in between the patties nicely

Very quickly we're down to the very last one and as usual it's the most solidly frozen requiring some effort on the blade back . . . some real burger batoning!

It finally gives way and the two split apart . . . we're done . . . and it was much easier than using a weak-kneed table knife!

The newly modifed MiniChamp made short work of a Mandarin orange peel. I made short work of the orange. This MiniChamp has Classic sapphire scales on it now with T&T making it much thinner than a Midnite MiniChamp and not much thicker than a Rambler. Had some pulp in my teeth and used the toothpick afterward.

This kitchen cabinet door with Euro style hinges would not close all the way.

 Efforts to tweak the springs and other adjustments were for naught. Time to replace the hinges. This is a job for the 111mm Work Champ (this one in sterile OD livery)


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Miscellaneous/WorkChamp.jpg)


Upon removing the door and old hinges we find under the lower hinge . . . the installer had broken off a screw head attaching it to the cabinet frame, just left it in place, and drove another at an angle below it.
 :facepalm:


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-22%20Cabinet%20Door%20Hinges%2003.jpg)


Good thing the Work Champ has pliers, so we can do what the cabinet installer should have done nearly 20 years ago


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-22%20Cabinet%20Door%20Hinges%2004.jpg)


We also do with the screws going into the solid oak cabinet frame what the original installer should have done to prevent torquing a screw head off. Just a little bit of bar soap on the screw threads will prevent them from binding in the wood. Acts as a lubricant and as friction heats up the screw, the soap becomes fluid. Amazing how this works!


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-22%20Cabinet%20Door%20Hinges%2006.jpg)


New hinges were attached to the door, and then the door was mounted to the cabinet frame. It now closes completely as it should.


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-22%20Cabinet%20Door%20Hinges%2009.jpg)


Some failure analysis on the old hinges to determine why they failed. Turns out the bushing on the lower one that is needed for the spring to keep the door closed had cracked and broken. The piece fell out as I was removing the door, and the analysis showed where it had come from. The screw with missing head may have contributed as it kept the hinge mount from being flush with the door frame, allowing it to rock, but that's a stretch with no real evidence to back it.

This was yesterday, but it was late in the day. Not quite as big a job as the cabinet door hinges, but there was a surprise waiting that increased the amount of time consumed by what should have been a simple task . . .


There was, until late last night, a small flip-up flat screen TV mount under a kitchen corner cabinet. The TV hasn't been there for several years, but the mount remained, flipped up under the cabinet. It would start drooping about every year or so and I would have to tighten the hinge on its friction bushings to make it stay up (gravity is relentless) . . .


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-23-02%20Monitor%20Mount.jpg)


Not only that, the installer (not me) had driven one of its mounting screws through the bottom of the cabinet and although it wasn't in a location where it was likely anything would get set on it, this was very sloppy work, and every time I saw it was like having a stone in my shoe.


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-23-03%20Monitor%20Mount.jpg)


Time for it to come down, permanently, and I set about removing it using the Delemont EvoGrip S557, which is more compact and better for working in tighter or more difficult to access spaces. In addition, its in-line Phillips locks up when pushed against a screw head to keep it from folding up, just like the bottle opener does with its flat-tip.


(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Miscellaneous/Delemont%20EvoGrip%20S557.jpg)


First thing I noticed when looking for the mounting screws was the right one not fully seated. This explained why only one of them protruded into the cabinet. Only one screw was holding most of the weight. Even more sloppy work!

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-23-01%20Monitor%20Mount.jpg)

The first screw came out OK.

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-23-04%20Monitor%20Mount.jpg)

Then I discovered why the second one had never been driven in completely. The Phillips head was stripped out. Fortunately, the pliers were thin enough to get under the round head (which defied gripping) and get some purchase on the threads to back the screw out

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-23-05%20Monitor%20Mount.jpg)

What a perfectly nice cone inside the screw head! The installer had used a power driver and when the screw bound up, she kept on churning and chattering away hoping it would magically motivate the screw to start turning again. A drill with a drill bit couldn't have done much better!!

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-23-06%20Monitor%20Mount.jpg)

The protruding screw in the cabinet is gone, as is the droopy flat screen TV mount, and yet another burr under my saddle eliminated . . .

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-23-07%20Monitor%20Mount.jpg)

The mount is now in storage alongside some other currently unused TV and computer monitor hardware.

February 24th . . .

It was not quite as involved as the past couple of days . . . in fact pretty simple. Used the Wenger Evolution Nail Clip AT to trim my fingernails. It is marvelously sharp, better than most of the "standard" nail clippers, and the nail file is excellent. The "AT" means it's an "Air Travel" model without a pen blade. Instead, it's a tiny screwdriver about the size you'd use to tighten screws on your glasses. Kind of a shame that Victorinox only continued the Nail Clip 580 which has a pen blade and will get confiscated at an airport, or any other screening point like most courthouses.

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/Miscellaneous/Wenger%20Swiss%20Clipper%20AT.jpg)


Then . . . in what is perhaps one of the most common office uses of a SAK's bottle opener, and it's not for getting that brewski opened a beer-thirty, it's for using the flat-tip driver as a staple puller, several of which were in this envelope that arrived today. The knife on my belt just happened to be the Delemont Evolution S16, but for this task any of the 85mm or 91mm, or even the Alox Pioneer would have worked just fine.

Already posted earlier in the SAK and coffee . . . the coffee grinder would not start this morning at zero-dark-thirty. Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Delemont Evolution S557 was the first one I laid hands on with pliers to use as a sub-miniature jaw crusher. It worked well enough to get the go-juice made, much better than a mallet with a Ziploc! Tomorrow will probably be use of a SAK to fix the grinder.

My first post here.
I used my old Camper as a companion in the woods today. I went for a stroll looking for the spring, and I belive I found it on top of this very rock.

Early on the 28th, just after taking a shower, I put on my reading glasses for shaving, and something crumbled off in my hand. Not thinking much of it I put them on to see what had fallen to the floor, and they didn't fit nor feel right. These are my favorite pair of reading glasses. Had to find a spare pair to examine the damage. Once I did that, and it took a while to remember where the spares had been safely stored, I could see well eough to quickly determined the problem. A piece of the temple at the hinge that comes into contact with the rims and keeps the temple from opening up further, had broken off, undoubtedly from the stress of repeated impact with the rims when opening the glasses.

Used the modified MiniMiniChamp (Classic SD scales with T&T) and its #0 Phillips on the end of the cap lifter to remove the screw and disassemble the temple from the rims for potential repair.

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-28-01.jpg)

Used some "Welder" adhesive to reattach the broken chunk of temple. It doesn't become brittle like some other adhesives, but not certain if it will be sufficiently rigid. Time will tell if it holds up under some use.

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-28-02.jpg)

Let it set for a while and then reattached the temple to the rims to briefly test the fit using the miniMiniChamp's #0 Phillips, and then put it aside to set overnight and I'll try wearing them Sunday.

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-28-03.jpg)

Later in the day I used the same modified minMiniChamp to peel a Mandarin orange. Note that no apples were harmed in the peeling and consumption of the Mandarin.

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/What%20I%20used%20one%20for%20today/2016-02-28-04.jpg)

The in-line #0 Phillips on the end of the cap lifter found on not only the MiniChamp, but the Rambler and Rally as well, is a marvelous little tool. I also went on-line using a spare pair, and ordered more reading glasses from Peepers. I've done enough serious photography that I can tell lens aberrations immediately. Most drugstore reading glasses have significant aberrations in the lenses that cause distortion, in many cases pincushion, and their construction isn't the best either. Peepers have some of the best lenses I've used, and the frames are good for the price which isn't much more than you'd pay at Walgreen's, CVS, etc. The two spare pair I've got were from a Walgreen's and their lens aberrations are already bothering me.

Don't forget about the wire stripper and bender. It works well for that just like the larger one, albeit on smaller gauge wire, if you lightly score the insulation first. No need to cut through the insulation to the wire which risks nicking it (bad for solid wire), just partway, and it's enough to provide a point for the insulation to break away. The wire stripper is probably among the most misunderstood and least used tools.

You're right John.  In fact, I didn't even know it existed prior to about a year ago on the Vic's.  30 plus years of carrying a Vic and I did it the hard way!  Now that I know about it, I'm itching to try the MiniChamp's on some wire.

Well . . . actually . . . yesterday but just did the photo post-processing . . .


The green Rambler opened some mail and then the Executive had its maiden voyage peeling a Mandarin orange. Works much like the MiniChamp peeler except a bit longer with the scraper bit which I didn't need to use at all.

I needed to remove an eraser from a mechanical pencil; normally I'd use my finger to yank it out, but it had worn down to the point where there was nothing onto which to grab.  I grabbed a Silvertech Climber and used its corkscrew to drive into the eraser and extract it so it could be replaced with another one that had more body left to it.  Yes, it's been a slow day of homework.

I used my super tinker to make a primitive rock throwing sling.
Very simple to make and loads of fun to play with.
Just follow these simple steps.
1) cut an elongated hexagon into some tough fabric or leather with you knife blade.
2) use your reamer to cut a hole at each end.
3) attach some cord to each hole using either jute or 550 cord, even a shoe lace can work.
4) tie a loop at the end of one cord and knot at the end of the other.
              a) length is not so important, a little shorter than your leg is good.
              b) knot on one cord should be roughly even with the loop on the other.
Now you just slip you ring finger through the loop and pinch the knot between your thumb and index finger, sling sling in an over hand rotation, kinda like throwing a baseball and release the knot end.

Please give this a try and have fun.

Video showing the distance that can be achieved with a sing.

Used the small screwdriver / can opener on my Super Tinker to reinstall the license plates on our pickup, so we could drive it home from the garage.  It had previously gotten a lift to the shop since it had a broken front wheel bearing/knuckle. (F-i-L drove thru a stop sign and got hit hard on the front passenger quarter.  Now to take it to a body shop, to look pretty again.)

Here's my original I made a few months back.  It's amazing how much zing you can get out of a rock.  I was inspired by a MacGyver Season 1 episode, To be a Man, which showed him using one to knock a rider off of a horse in 1980s Afghanistan.  My son has one too, and they are a blast!  Now if I could just hit something with it..... :rant: ::)

Can you do dual precision calculations using a slide rule to get twice the number of significant digits as its tick mark precision allows? IOW, can you get six significant digits in the computation if the slide rule marks are only good to three significant digits. It does require a scratch pad and pen or pencil for intermediate results. Clue: the algorithm in a programming language math library (i.e. Fortran, C, Pascal, etc.) for dual precision calculations is exactly the same as was used with a slide rule!

Actually one just like this one John...it was my Dad's and I still love how it works!  I learned off of one of these when digitals were just coming into their own, and I still look at them as upstarts.  BTW nice knife Robert!  Love the character of those scales!!

Posted this in my STACK thread but thought I would also put it here too . . . with a fun little quiz at the end.

Adjusted the mechanical zero on this mirrored scale multimeter using the small flat tip on the end of the can opener blade (Cyber Tool 34, but very nearly any SAK would work). It was a bit off.

(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/j_a_lind/Other/Knives/SAK/STACK%20Challenge/STACK%202016-03-15-01.jpg)

OK . . . show of hands now . . . how many:
  • Have used an analog multimeter?
  • Have used an analog FET VOM (FET volt-ohm-meter, or even older, a VTVM)?
  • Know the difference between a multimeter and a FET VOM (or VTVM), and why a FET VOM might sometimes be preferred?
  • Have used an analog meter with a mirrored scale?
  • Know what a mirrored scale is for and how to use it?
Just thought I'd ask some questions to take a trip down memory lane, and yes, I still have an analog VOM too! This is the cheapie multimeter I keep in a kitchen drawer.

John
Edit to clarify VOM

My old Sperry from the 70's, mostly used to check continuity, still works fine.  :salute:

Used the in-line awl on the Pikachu to make some drainage holes in some plant pots for a resident, used the in-line philips to remove and replace a plug on a fridge, cut a banana into porridge for breakfast and opened the post with the main blade.

Used the butter blade on my Spirit to trim some tickets and notices to size for work.

We have six Grandkids two girls and four boys. What I did was buy good used two layer SAK's when I found them cheap usually about $3 to $5 each. When Mom and Dad say they're old enough they get their SAK. Till then they get to practice with Grandpa with their SAK. A used Spartan is so cheep it's no major loss if they brake it.

Here are the kids knifes pluse my Spartan on the bottom.

Technically it was Saturday but the swisschamp came in handy.  Dad needed to swap out the screen door so the hinge is on the left instead of the right.  I used the phillips for some of the smaller screws, the small blade to cut trim and sharpen a pencil, the fish scaler to make a measurement and the hook to pull on the closer to open it up for test fitting.  Used both of the much maligned tools!

I was adjusting the scope on my Anschütz .22lr repeating gun with the can opener screwdriver blade on my Small Redneck Tinker.
It was raining today - but I think I got the holes where I wanted to have them :D

My MechaRogue's scissors to trim some stray beard hairs, and the fish scaler as a back scratcher.  It's really good for that :tu:

Had my secretary open the mail. :) Used the small blade to open my new old (from 2011) Windmills CD — "As Above, So Below." Windmills are an indie rap / hip-hop duo from Los Angeles. Framework does the vocals, Rex Rey does the instruments. It's amazing music, in my opinion; the lyrics and rhymes are really creative, and the beats will get stuck in your head. They have a new album coming out soon, so I'm really looking forward to that. If it sounds like your thing, you can listen to their music free on Bandcamp (http://windmills.bandcamp.com/music). They're on Spotify too.

Anyway, the Secretary is a weird knife. It always feels like a relic of the past to me, with the unusual shape and the slimmed down toolset. It's a sometimes food, not nearly as useful as a Sportsman (which is pretty darn useful), but still cool in its own right.

Those scissors are one of my most often used tools, so handy! Today I used the can opener quite a lot rearranging shop things, it seems to fit whatever I need it for. I had my drill with a phillips bit on hand, but also used the Pioneer's opener for different odd screws, both square and star drives in various sizes. Probably why I have never been able to keep an Electrician or Harvester in my pocket for long, as much as I like those models...  :salute:

I've been sitting here absentmindedly snipping bits of beard as I read the forum for about the last hour.  You know, just running my fingers over my beard and when some fur feels out of place I bunch it between my thumb and forefinger and give it a snip with the scissors from the red huntsman.  It's just occurred to me that perhaps trimming my beard by feel is not the best way to do that and I'd better stop and have a look in a mirror.

Craftsman--the wood saw to cut an empty  large plastic bucket (used to hold about 100 pounds of mineral) in half in order to use the bottom half to hold some livestock mineral in a 55 gallon barrel. .   Really a job that the Soldier '08 would have been quicker, but it did the job great, surprisingly, even though it took awhile and quite a bit of effort.  The Vic saw is a mark above many others when it comes to cutting.

I mostly used the Craftsman's saw for pruning, and I used the Bear MGC Super Bear Jaws Gardener (since, technically, at the time the tool was made, it was a Victorinox-owned company) and it's beefy shear head to cut back a large thorny vine.

I also built this a couple hours ago using the Craftsman's scissors. I'd found this Y-shaped stick would be perfect for a slingshot, so I picked it up a couple months ago.  I had the ruptured bike inner-tube (came from a cheap bike my grandfather purchased, which I accidentally overinflated, and thus, it ruptured!) since last summer. I just gathered the materials and built it.  Used the scissors to cut just the right width of inner tube.  I'd say the range is about 50-75 feet, depending on the shape and size of the gravel I shot out of it.

got to use the inline phillips to fix the mail box. replaced a rusted out rivet with a stainless steel bolt. the bolt will last longer than the box. have to keep that in shape for at least a couple weeks as some SAKs are still in the deliver pipeline.

When I finally stopped carrying a SwissChamp I switched to an Explorer Plus, because I wanted to keep the excellent inline Phillips. Nowadays carrying mostly 2-3 layers I use the 2D can opener driver a lot, but it's not the same. The nice thing about the Explorer is that it has both! :salute:

Use the Deluxe Tinker to open my wall drill. Don't know why it's suddenly jammed. I think something was misplaced inside.

And now it works fine but I still didn't find the cause.

I've actually been using my SAK a bit more for food prep lately when I'm out and about. Never really done this with a knife too often, more work utility (dirty). But the big blade on the SAK is perfect and having a little baby I'm cutting up lots of fruit now.

How can I keep the knife well maintained? I want to use it for food prep, but I don't want to ruin it and gunk it up. Just a wipe down and oiling every so often?

Thanks

Carrying extra large cardboard boxes for longer distances is an annoying thing -
even if it is a Victorinox-box that contained a new trolley-suitcase.

Once unpacked we filled that box with all the paper for recycling and I did my usual thing,
cutting some carrying-holes into the box with my trusty nomad.

Only then did I notice the slightly ironic character of my deed ;-)

Currently we are swapping hardware in our company, mainly our laptops, for newer models. These newer models have rubber caps over the screw ports, which tend to fall out. No big deal, but it seems one colleague found this little rubber tube and looked for the place where it was missing. Unfortunately, he didn't put it back to he place where it was missing, but in one of the two openings where the prongs of the docking station go in. As a result, he was not able anymore to put it in there.

I solved this with the corkscrew. Again my decision not to part with a corkskrew at any given time paid off ;)

Saw, cutting tree limbs for whittling. 

Large flat driver/caplifter--removing a hose clamp to remove the small piece of air hose that was still attached to an old air fitting.   Also, to pry the lid of a tub of cattle mineral. 

Blade--cutting the rope barely holding a 55 gallon barrel used to hold cattle salt to a post.

Awl, drilling holes to thread strap ties through to better secure that same barrel to the post.

2013 Soldier '08, blade and saw.  Blade was used to cut weeds around a post hole digger auger (that, after having had a new auger put on the digger, really should go to the scrap heap), as it just destroys weed eater string. 

Saw was used to prune dead limbs off a tree, both thick, one thicker than anything I'd ever cut with an SAK saw before.  I thought about getting my antique Orsa lineman/pruning saw with a curved blade out, but decided to see if the Soldier's saw was up to the task--which it was.  Took a few minutes, but cut through it well.

Pretty sweet. Inspired by the Deluxe Angler I guess?
Thanks!  Actually I'd never heard of that model.  I've had my customs tweaked a couple times, and they change based on my mind :ahhh

I could probably remove a couple items, but I like options.

I used the saw on the Handyman to cut S'more sticks for the boys, then we used our knives (My Handyman, Zach's Fieldmaster, and Noah's Forester) to whittle points on the sticks to roast marshmallows.  Finally, we had a saw contest between the 3 knives.  I won, but not sure if it's because the Wenger's saw was the best so much as I've been using SAK saws longer than my sons have!

I was in the disaster area of my hometown that got destroyed last week by flood.

I used the SwissTool today to cut some wire of fences that made it easier to remove the mud from the ground. Also so the philipshead screwdriver got some use. Later the day the caplifter came to use for some beer.

My alox Rambler saved the day twice in less than two minutes yesterday.

First, I used it to fashion a drinking vessel out of a 1/2L plastic water bottle for my 17-month old son. I had to use the scissors to bore the initial hole. Right after I'd finished making the drinking vessel, I noticed the woman sitting next to us on the bench was trying to undo a screw with her house keys. I asked if I could her, she handed me her kid's toy, I replaced the batteries using the mini Phillips SD and gave it back to her.

The tool is a minimum on any SAK I consider for EDC unaccompanied, my first SAK, the Fieldmaster had one.   It does perform great--for years, it was the only wood cutting tool I owned. Even now, I use it as my primary wood cutting tool for small branches.

Nice Huntsman!   I like the Economy scales.  I need to get a few sets of those scales.

Another vote for the woodsaw. My first SAK was a Rucksack, then a Huntsman and then an Explorer. I loved the mag and philips but had to have a woodsaw. That led to modding the hard to find Woodsman which I still carry today, even though I mostly use my smaller Pikachu.

Always nice to see some love for the Vic saw. The OHTrekker is my yard work knife. I've used the saw to remove trees and such growing between the fences where most tools can't really reach.

Using my Craftsman to fix a cabinet door that had its knobs replaced, and one of the screws was too long, making the knob loose:

Used the flat head screwdriver on the end of the bottle opener to remove the screw.  Then, I used the pliers to remove the screw, as it was tight in there.  Then, I took the screw downstairs to my workshop, got my hacksaw out, and cut it.  Darn it! Wish I hadn't eyeballed how much I'd need to cut off!   It then barely stuck out the door, not enough thread to get the knob on.  Then, I went to my grandfather's workshop on the other end of the basement, and found a screw that fit perfectly.  Used the Craftsman's bottle opener screwdriver to put it back together.  Problem fixed! 

Earlier, I used the blade to cut some twine to attach a flag to a 2x6 at Lowe's.  They stopped leaving scissors out to cut the string, so I've had to use my knife every time to cut it. I just noticed they provide a hacksaw blade bolted to the cart today, but that wouldn't work well enough for my tastes.

This seems to be a problem on that type of flashlight--and even after stretching the spring out a bit, it still died. I've been through six (at  least)of them.  Today, I have a Mini Maglite, but still keep one of those as a backup.   

I think it has something to do with the push-button on the bottom.

Great job by your son!

Thanks Cody!  I've noticed that too.  My guess is that the springs get weak on them.  My primary lights are all Maglites, including a couple MiniMags.  I like the way they carry and are handy to use when your other hand is tied up.

Scissors--trimming my fingernails and opening a new TV remote.


Pliers were used to tighten a coaxial connector on an antenna I was installing in an outside apartment we use for storage that I had an old TV of mine set up in.  It was a digital antenna, but never worked on either of the TVs, the old Sylvania or the nearly 10 year old Polaroid in my room that replaced it.  I know its not either of the TVs--I have a Play Station 2 hooked up to the Sylvania, and I have cable on the Polaroid.

With no clean kitchen knives around, used my Wenger Ranger (single-bladed model) to chop vegetables for a salad. Here's how it fared:

Carrots: C (difficult to make thin cuts, angle keeps slipping out and giving you wedges)
Celery: B (sticks during some cuts, but overall good)
Tomatoes: A (thinner slices than most of my kitchen knives are possible, no squishing)

Just based on the ability to get a very keen edge with SAK steel, they're very useful for preparing fleshy foods like tomatoes, strawberries, etc. The problem with the carrots was mostly due to the blade geometry I think, which you'd think would be fine because it is relatively flat, but carrots seem particularly unforgiving.

I was able to use my Swiss Champ at work today (back on duty) to open the cover where our video cards go for the arbitrator camera system. As the supervisor I have to make sure all the guys patrol units have nice and empty video cards. This one was full hence the need to swap it out.

Needed to sew up a little pouch that I keep my PK Knight flashlight in. My sewing ain't pretty but it's hell for stout. :tu: The back side actually looks pretty good.  :facepalm:

I used my Swiss Champ's pliers as a needle driver and the scissors to cut the thread after I tied it off way down inside the pouch.

So many things.

Tighten screws and bolts, cut zip ties with the plied head cutters, cutting cardboard boxes and tape with the butter blade.

Easier to say what didn't I use my SAK on today.

Resting after a hard day's work.

Today, I used my Swiss Champ to install a new switch. I had all of my tools at my feet in my tool bag, but I would have had to keep bending down to get them and put them away. Other than the Swiss Champ (stored in a belt sheath), the only other tool I used was my voltage meter to make sure I didn't electrocute myself.

Open some anodised aluminium profiles wrapped in thick plastic.
It is easy to control the depth of a long cut with wharncliffe tip short electrician blade to avoid scratching the wrapped contents holding the blade like this.
Same thing with boxes that I needed to open easy to make precise cuts.

  S557 EvoWood popping the top of a soda. Decided to use other side of cap since that side had the Wenger and symbol. Which makes me think the Wenger SAKs were intended for lefties..  :think:

Bought an old wood fishing tackle box in an antique store and used the Workchamp to take apart an old Zebco 202 reel that I found in the bottom of the box.  Wouldn't even turn it was so gunked up with grease and dirt.  The Craftsman 1/4" square to 1/4" hex finger drive fits right on the screwdriver and gives you a hex driver for the SAK.   :cheers:  The reel is made in the USA so must be fairly old.  Runs nice and smooth now.

They are a great knife for the cigar lover.  I have an original Wenger and this Delemont I bought so I could put the Wenger back. That one in my kit is a simple Delemont 36 but the orig Wenger has an opener layer.

A very crummy pic

 :tu: :tu: I like that 79 too Robert, but have to work my way thru a 36 first buddy! :D

I did the same thing yesterday afternoon Robert, and was thinking about picking up a Delemont Cigar Cutter too!  So much so, I even brought it up with my wife, so I'm looking.

They are a great knife for the cigar lover.  I have an original Wenger and this Delemont I bought so I could put the Wenger back. That one in my kit is a simple Delemont 36 but the orig Wenger has an opener layer.

A very crummy pic

A big Delemont 79 is on my list....  :facepalm:

If you like spice it's legit. But this ones über spiced. I dig... It says on the back that basically they didn't need to make it that hot, but did it anyway. Made with ghost chiles.

I got clued into spicy chocolate once while wine tasting. They paired all types of chocolates with wines and it was great.

I used the Pioneer X to open a package containing a new plastic connector for my hosepipe reel, to replace one that the bloody dog chewed. I estimate that they had used about 1Km of tape on the package. Why oh why do they do that?  :facepalm:

I then used the same Pioneer to cut the hose so I got a nice neat edge to which I could attach the liberated fitting. I got soaked during the process.

Hey, that's how I roll :D

Probably looked a bit weird from a distance.

I was on the shooting range this morning.

Had my Redneck Small Tinker with me. I was shooting my lever action rifle Marlin 39AS in .22lr.
I disassembled the gun some weeks ago, cleaned it properly and I put it together. I wanted to try it out today.
I did some shots with it and a round got stuck inside the system. Very very annoying.

The caplifter / flat head screwdriver helped me disassemble the rifle, removed the catridge and put it together again.

Using the Spartan, I used the tweezers and the pin to remove a sliver that was pretty deep in the wifey's finger!   Unfortunately I needed a mag lens but since I swapped out the Spartan in place of the Explorer for August I didn't have one on me so had to go get one! 

That is what I get for taking the Explorer out as my EDC and trying something different!  :)

RE: minichamp screwdriver...this is exactly why I bought that Outrider to get the small phillips. But I still haven't devised the best way to install it in a 91mm chassis. 2 days ago I tried using it as a loose implement (I took the knife apart a while ago), but had to get a "real" small phillips driver since I couldn't really torque the loose tool without a handle attached to it.

I think the 111mm small Phillips has the best chance of getting down into holes vs. 58mm combo tool or Cybertool bit.  But still figuring out how to mount it without resorting to welding.

I even considered Hercules as EDC since it has both phillips. (Still hunting for a deal on one of those.)

In the meantime I'm shopping for Alox minichamps! win-win.

During vacations, I used my EDC many times. Today I cut branches from my orange tree (they were scratching my car) with Hunter's 57 saw. I cut car mats with Spirit's serrated knife (like butter they went off). I used the drivers many times, for example to remove red filter from car salon lights. I used them for astronomy but my son don't needs them. I whittled, groomed, fixed, played. I love vacations.

If you've ever been attacked by a horse-fly you'll know those creatures are a) persistent and b) bullet-proof.
Yesterday one of them was giving my dog hell during our forest walk. No amount of his nibbling, rolling, scratching or shaking could discourage the little monster. My swats and curses were equally useless.
Suddenly I remembered the Swisstool Spirit in my pocket. I managed to catch the horse-fly with the pliers and one squish later the dog tormentor was no more...
(I am generally very sympathetic to small creatures, and go to ridiculous lengths to save spiders etc. But mosquitos, ticks and horse-flies are not my friends.)
So anyway. That's what I did with my SAK yesterday! Murdered a horse-fly.

Love the survival kit! That Workchamp XL looks completely ridiculous stuck in that tree and I LOVE IT.

Today the lock on the sliding door was acting up again, I didn't "fix" it permanently, but was able to use the can opener into the side slot as shown to move something inside there around until I could get the key all the way into the lock and open it.
It reminded me of how easy they make it seem to pick locks on TV shows.

The lock has been removed and is getting repaired "for real" now that I've got the door open.

Survival situation.

Trapped at my desk on a work conference call when an enormous house fly entered the room and began menacing me.

I thought quickly, crafted a weapon with the materials available to me.

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/IMG_0806_zps7vkvrcv4.jpg) (http://s36.photobucket.com/user/DaveK-ToolPics/media/IMG_0806_zps7vkvrcv4.jpg.html)

The fly just left. I think it knew it could end only one way - death!

I'm not sure I contributed a whole lot to the call mind....

Used the Workchamp to remove and take apart the carburetor on my generator.  Inline Phillips to remove the air cleaner housing, hex bit driver and socket to remove the nuts that hold the air cleaner plate and carburetor to engine, pliers to remove the squeeze type hose clamp for the fuel line and also the linkage.  Another hex socket to remove the fuel bowl bolt.  Really very nice to just open another tool instead of going to look for one.  Here's the hex driver kit.  It also works with the LM Charge with the other adapter.      :cheers:

What about "My first Victorinox"? Or if She's older get her a nice climber or a fancy Cybertool 34 for her to show it off!

My recently finished custom 91mm (I'm calling it The Modder for lack of a better name) assisted on another build by removing scales, pulling out bushings and filing flat pins pre-peening and filing out excess pins before putting on new scales.

Used my Executive to make a small repair to my LF&C Whittler. The metal had been deformed when whoever owned it originally dropped it, keeping the pen blade from opening right.  So, I took the Executive's nailfile and removed the metal in the way.  Now the pen blade opens and shuts as it should.  The Executive file is best for making liner repairs on knives.

Sheila Sexsmith (Compact +) still goin strong on hospital duty. So far used for:

Cutting a bandage for my friend's head (they gave him a roll of tubular bandage to make into kind of a "hat" to cover his head, but they failed to provide any means to cut it.) His wife asked me if I had scissors...do I have scissors? Of COURSE.

Cutting a peach into small pieces for him to eat.

Used the pen to draw shapes and letters for him to practice recognition (he needs cognitive rehab)

Used pen to circle his choices on the menu (I can't  believe pizza and coconut cream pie are on a hospital menu)

Also had him try to read "Sheila Sexsmith" but he's not quite there yet.

We also talked about hobbies since he's going to be discharged and staying at home for several months, told him about my SAK refurbishing and collecting, so I "used" it in conversation.

+1, I also use it to cut an orange peel before peeling, using the rounded underside of the hooky part (the part that hooks under the rim of the can) as kind of a "guide skid" to keep the blade part from cutting into the juicy orange innards So many uses for it.

Hey guys and gals! It's been a while since I've been on here. We moved to a new state, into a brand new, never lived in home, getting the boys in school and my wife and I both started new jobs. Needless to say, we're busy!

This wasn't all today more like over the past month or so but I thought I'd share anyway. I've used my Spirit for so many things, it is such a fantastic tool! Also used my Champion, Super Tinker and Explorer some. Used them to open cans in the kitchen for a couple weeks until we found our regular can opener, opened countless boxes, put some things together (phillips and flat head), etc, etc.

New house required 4 prong for the dryer, ours had 3. Had to wire in a new plug.

Putting up towel rods in the bathrooms.

Our house had no window coverings, so I tacked up some sheets over the bedroom windows so we could sleep. Guy came today and installed our blinds, so I used the Spirit pliers to pull the nails and take the sheets down.

My SwissTool helped me MacGyver my way out of being stuck up smurf creek with only a paddle on an incoming tide.
Sheared the drive pin on my 3.3hp Mercury and didn't have a spare with me.
I used the SwissTool to remove the prop and fashion a replacement pin from a piece of fencing wire I "found" on the river bank.

I assembled a wood bed and headboard for a friend, and the two holes that attach the bed to the headboard were not fully drilled threw, she was like oh oh, I got a drill, I said don't worrie, so I whipped out the farmer, snapped open the awl, and blasted right threw! And then she was like ohhhh.. :D
I must say ever since I got that sak, that awl has come in more handy and works sooo unbelievable well!

Had to carry a 8kg metal safe box around town, and the plastic bag was badly hurting my hand

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-09/CAM04786_zpsxnt8idn0.jpg)

I took out the SAK and used the so underapreciated hook to carry it.

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-09/CAM04789_zpsuyjnagun.jpg)

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-09/CAM04788_zpss76lunzf.jpg)

Being a thick, plastic-sided horizontal "bar" or "rod" the pressure was greatly distributed and reduced, making a much more comfortable carry

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-09/CAM04784_zpsddexc6rl.jpg)

I spent two hours with this heavy box walking around, so I ended up with a sore hand anyway but it would have been way worse, and I had no bandana to wrap around the plastic or to protect the palm (as I usually do)

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-09/CAM04782_zpsqkxqnejf.jpg)

Don't laugh at the hook!  :salute:

Still on caregiver duty with my friend. Sheila Sexsmith's (Compact) scissors have been working overtime. His gauze "beanie" keeps getting caught on his staples (he's still got the staples on the side of his head, which, if I were an MD, I could easily remove with the 91mm or 111mm pliers). I've been cutting the snagged gauze free each time he removes it with the Compact's scissors.

Today just before taking him to his first appontment, he came out of his room saying, "James I did something stupid". And showed me his eyeglasses that were bent and wrapped around all crazy. I used the mini screwdriver from Sheila to take off the "earpiece" whatever you call it. This was a tiny phillips glasses screw but the mini driver still worked by holding it at an angle. Then I used the pliers on my Hercules to straighten everything back up and the bottle cap lifter screwdriver to spread the thingamabobs open a bit. Had him sorted in about 8 minutes.

Also been using the scissors to cut out labels for his medications. (He was accidentally taking the wrong medicines so we simplified things).

I have 2 Spartans and a Tinker but never carry them since I'm using scissors pretty much every day. Compact is still proving to be a formidable EDC. I generally back up with a SwissChamp but have been taking the Hercules over the last week.

Yikes, excuse my guitar playing callouses in that last pic!

Flashaholics will surely scream at me... Managed to forget taking out batteries on my (retired edc light and kept in drawer for some time) Solitaire LED... caused both the end cap and alkaline to get stuck...

Used a mini bench vice and a vice grip to open undo the end cap... sprayed a little wd40 on the leaked alkaline... drilled an entry hole on the battery and used the cork screw of thebYeoman Wood Saw to yank it out...

Cleaned the battery compartment, stuck in a fresh Alkaline... (I know... learn from my mistake and use rechargeables)... tested the Solitaire LED and walaaa... it is still alive...

A good wake-up call to start buying eneloops...

We went to my girlfriends sisters place earlier today and her hamster had escaped at some point and chewed the water pipe and the flex for the dishwasher ending in water everywhere and the electrics tripped. Used my pioneer to repair the cable with some electrical tape I had in the car all my tools were at work. Just have to buy a new water pipe and probably new flex too.

This kitchen cabinet door with Euro style hinges would not close all the way.

Efforts to tweak the springs and other adjustments were for naught. Time to replace the hinges. This is a job for the 111mm Work Champ (this one in sterile OD livery)

Upon removing the door and old hinges we find under the lower hinge . . . the installer had broken off a screw head attaching it to the cabinet frame, just left it in place, and drove another at an angle below it.

Good thing the Work Champ has pliers, so we can do what the cabinet installer should have done nearly 20 years ago

We also do with the screws going into the solid oak cabinet frame what the original installer should have done to prevent torquing a screw head off. Just a little bit of bar soap on the screw threads will prevent them from binding in the wood. Acts as a lubricant and as friction heats up the screw, the soap becomes fluid. Amazing how this works!

New hinges were attached to the door, and then the door was mounted to the cabinet frame. It now closes completely as it should.

Some failure analysis on the old hinges to determine why they failed. Turns out the bushing on the lower one that is needed for the spring to keep the door closed had cracked and broken. The piece fell out as I was removing the door, and the analysis showed where it had come from. The screw with missing head may have contributed as it kept the hinge mount from being flush with the door frame, allowing it to rock, but that's a stretch with no real evidence to back it.


John

Great post, John! I learned a little about cabinet hinges! Thanks for taking the time to photograph the process; I know from experience it takes longer when one does that.

One more tip for you: make sure the holes drilled for the hinge screws are the right size. They should be the size of the screw shank, not including the threads. Sometimes, folks drill them smaller, thinking it'll make them hold tighter. Hardwood just doesn't have that much give to it, so it's not a good idea.

Today was a good day for two reasons. First I saved money and second I recycled. The flusher on our toilet wasn't working properly and I put it down to just old age with wear and tear so I decided to just buy a new one which was around the 20-30 euro mark but before splashing out the cash I decided to give it a shot at fixing it.

Little did I know that it was just the plastic diaphragm that was rip so I found an old plastic envelope to use as a replacement, I used the scissors on my Handyman to cut it piece out and it worked a treat it flushes just like a new toilet.

Flashaholics will surely scream at me... Managed to forget taking out batteries on my (retired edc light and kept in drawer for some time) Solitaire LED... caused both the end cap and alkaline to get stuck...

Used a mini bench vice and a vice grip to open undo the end cap... sprayed a little wd40 on the leaked alkaline... drilled an entry hole on the battery and used the cork screw of thebYeoman Wood Saw to yank it out...

Cleaned the battery compartment, stuck in a fresh Alkaline... (I know... learn from my mistake and use rechargeables)... tested the Solitaire LED and walaaa... it is still alive...

A good wake-up call to start buying eneloops...

Today I had to repair an electronic magnifier intended for vision impaired people. Basically a camera connected to a view screen with various controls for zooming and colors.

The issue was simple. A pair of junctions between 2 PCBs, pins that go into sockets on both circuit boards to act as jumpers between them, was filthy all over. I cleaned it up and use the metal file to file the pins slightly and to bend them open a little.

The fine phillips on the Hercules allowed to me to get the plate off the bottom of the unit. I suppose a cybertool would have worked here...don't have one.

Everything went fine and didnt have to solder anything.

I awlso used the awl to slightly bend the pin in the power socket (for a tighter connection to the plug) the notch running awl awlong the awl acted as a "rest" for the pin so it didn't slide off either side of the awl while I was applying subtle force. Very very gentle with this kind of thing.

The SwissChamp suffered its first injury. It was a new-in-package one from 2007 I got aeveral months ago and was still very new.

I wasn't careful to get all the alcohol off my finger when I was cleaning a part, and it melted my fingerprint into the scale. I could buff that out but at least now I can prove it's mine.

One day earlier this week, I used the can opener on my OH Soldier to open a can of tuna for lunch and then later in the day, I used the saw to cut some branches while mowing the lawn. I used the blade on my bike to cut some zip ties and then the awl to open up a burrito for dinner last night.

Unfortunately, I couldn't take a picture because I was in a location where cameras are not allowed, but one of the ladies I was working with today had a very nice black scarf with a large, and visually unappealing, white label sewn on one end.

She mentioned that she wished she had a scissors so she could just cut it off. (You all know where this story is going already don't you?)

I pulled the black Classic out of my pocket and handed it to her with the scissors open and she was amazed at how sharp they were and how well they worked for being so small.  Of course this is not anything new for anyone reading this post. :salute: :cheers:

Ok so I use my beloved SAK (Tinker with black scales courtesy of a forum member) constantly, but I thought I might share a story from the other day which illustrates why I carry one.

The other day I needed to shift my computer at work, and while there are about four different network ports near my workspace, only one of them will allow my computer to properly connect to the network; if I want to use one of the others I'd have to call IT. Now, I was in there on a Sunday, and I hate unnecessary mucking about, especially with simple things; I suppose in a way that illustrates why I carry a SAK in the first place.

All I wanted was to move my computer a few metres, and I wasn't about to wait until Monday to call IT and have them switch me to a new network port etc etc. for something so simple. So I scouted around to see if I could grab a longer network cable on "permanent loan" from one of my colleagues.

Well, it turned out that my boss' computer was the only one with a network cable long enough (with things like this, it's always the boss' equipment, isn't it? :P). Unfortunately when I went to unplug it from the wall, the plug came loose from the face plate and pushed into the wall cavity... whoops!  :oops:

Thankfully I was able to whip out the can opener and use the small nib on the end of it to undo the screws on the face plate to rescue and reseat the actual socket from the wall cavity, and then screw the whole thing back on the wall... meaning that my boss would have no idea that anything at all had happened! Despite the fact that it was a Sunday, I must be honest and say that I did feel a touch of panic at the idea that my boss would walk into her room to see me messing with a wall socket, but the whole thing was done and dusted within about 30 seconds.

The whole thing made me VERY glad that I carry my Tinker on me at all times :P That, and the time I was able to unlock myself from a busted toilet stall door :P

Note: The moral of the story is that the phillips head screwdriver on these things is absolute rubbish. The pivot point being in the middle of the knife means that if you're even 1 or 2 degrees off dead centre, the screwdriver will fold back up or slip in the screw as soon as you put pressure on it. The nib on the end of the can opener is far more effective in almost every situation. Victorinox, if you're reading this, the screwdriver on the Tinker model needs to go.

Used the SwissTool to yank LED modules out of some fancy pants Christmas lights that went on the fritz. Changing them out for the included spare units worked on a string last year, but not today. The expensive multi-pattern lights are cool, but they don't seem to last long. On the plus side, the SwissTool's jaws grabbed on tight but didn't mar the plastic housing on the LED.

I used the combo opener with wire stripper on an Alox Bantam as a torque amplifier to open a tube of heavy duty adhesive (that had dutifully adhered its cap to the tube). Slip-joint pliers would have destroyed the cap. This method slightly deformed the cap's top temporarily.

A wooden shopping bag holder my son made fell and broke.  I couldn't think of a better combo to fix it than my Craftsman.  I used the pliers to pull the old nails, the bottle opener to pry the back off, the small straight edge on the backstrap to re-screw the hinge screws in, and the backstrap Philips to put screws in place of the tiny nails on the back.

Good save!

Once again I reached for the Hercules (since I don't have a cybertool or 58mm w/can opener...yet) to repair and tune-up this ebay sale. 
(which if anyone is interested is a Super Dimension Fortress 1 Macross, aka Robotech SDF 1 from the 80s)
It's funny that my biggest SAK always gets used for the smallest screws.

No problem James!  It's the smaller regular head screwdriver on the backside of the Craftsman near the awl and the chisel.I think its designed for smaller screws like you'd find in electronics.  It worked great for the smaller screws my son used on the hinge of this box.

Yes, as in tree bark. The new ent is placed in an eye (oculus, hence oculating knife) under the bark and will grow there. The tip of the oculating blade has the same function as the brass blade.

I love mine. Just got it a few days ago, sharpened it and swapped to sapphire scales. Having a cap lifter and small phillips makes it a lot more useful to me than a Classic SD. It's a good size as a screwdriver too, and the phillips tip is almost in the middle (in line with toothpick or tweezers) when it's opened so it spins smoothly.

Today I used mine to cut up this Droncit pill for one of my cats. This particular cat was a feral and doesn't allow anyone to hold her yet. Force feeding a pill would be hard so first I'm trying to put it in her food.

I guess the emergency blade and "coke spoon" on a MiniChamp would be good tools for this but the Rambler got it done...now I wait to see if she'll eat the food.

Good to hear about your rambler impressions,  its lovely with those blue scales.   :cheers:
I hope your cat gets better soon.  :)

My impression is that it could take care of most of my edc needs, so I will try carrying it solely.   
The philips works a treat on electronics screws that are also slightly recessed, and opening packets with the pen blade is neat.   :tu:

I'd like an Alox minichamp just for bling and the sheer number of tools,  but my rambler has all the essentials, and its lovely in its own way.

May I suggest the fish scaler tip for scratching also? It is long, double ended and safe for the skin. One can use the scaler edge for the limbs, as it covers a large area, it is ergonomic anatomically for arms and legs, has many tips providing sensory input and remains very safe.
I am serious.
ABSOLUTELY...if I scratch some things by hand I have neuropathy, and it can cause inflammation, burning and itching to be worse. Using an item like that can stop the cycle.

Amici,
Although I'm 24 hours late, I used the Champion for a host of tasks. From cutting chord which secured a Christmas tree to the roof of a car, to opening up boxes that contained those skeletal reindeer that are wired with all the lights on. Plus cutting all the zip ties that held the reindeer together.

Earlier, I used it to slice a big chunk of turkey breast from the remains of the holiday bird when I was feeling a bit peckish (no pun intended) in between meals, and used the flat head driver to a loosen a pair of flat head screws from the rear of a Dell Optiplex as so to throw in another stick of 4 gig of replacement memory to enhance the desktop computers performance. 

Later, I used the Phillips in line driver to remove the screws from the base plate of a Thomas the talking tank engine to replace a set of dead batteries.

Cheers,
Serge

Just opened a can of beans with my 84mm, but earlier today I fixed this noise maker gadget using my cybertool phillips.

Corrosion from the battery compartment leaked through to where the wire was soldered on to the battery terminal and the wire became disconnected.

It was made by Cobra, known for their CB radios and radar detectors. This noise maker was made in the 80s when radar detectors were a popular auto accessory, and looks like it was made to resemble one.

I used Swiss Army Knives as a topic of discussion sitting across the table from my sister and brother-in-law during an otherwise dreadfully awkward and uncomfortable family gathering at my mother's house.

Was biting my tongue most of the time but when SAKs came up I had something I was comfortable talking about as I clandestinely felt the one I was carrying in my pocket, not dissimilar to a lucky coin or pendant one holds when nervous.

They're useful even when you aren't using them.

Though I don't have a picture, I was cutting open the pages on some old publications.

Those of you who may have used some publications from the 1800's or early 1900's, may have found the pages uncut. When they were printed, the large sheet was folded and the edges and tops of some of the pages were not sliced open. I used my SAK to open such pages on two publications from 1904.

Those who want more info on this can go to this website <http://www.themillions.com/2010/02/deckle-edge-in-the-age-of-mechanical-reproduction.html>

Yes, I need a new one.  This one is quite tall, so it was awkward to position, especially with how heavy it is.

I used the can opener on my OH Soldier to open a can of tuna for a sandwich at lunch time. Then I used the screwdriver tip to unscrew a front license plate from a newly traded in vehicle (I work at an auto dealer).

Amici,
Today was quite busy in the SAK department. Before I left the house, I used the Champion for opening and prepping tubes of dog food for my pack.

Once arriving to work, the Champion was used to open up and break down several boxes of recently arrived laptops for inventory. The inline driver was utilized to disassemble a few desktop towers, followed by the scissors to trim down some strands of Ethernet cabling before crimping with a new RJ45 cap. I'm sure I will be calling on her several times more before the end of the day.

Cheers,
Serge

We had a bit of a traffic jam in the kitchen since my wife had baked bread and was finishing slicing & packaging for storage in the freezer (3 bread machines & two batches). I was warming up dinner and wanted to get the vegetables in the microwave but the scissors were in a drawer blocked by a bread board that she had pulled out to accommodate sheets of foil.  When she looked up, she was amused to see me use the scissors in my Explorer to open the vegetable bag.

She recognized the knife I was using since I got her her own Explorer and storage pouch, which she frequently uses and keeps in the kitchen.

Today, I received an armful of packages (one box and the rest were various sized mailing envelopes).  I used my SAK explorer's knife to open the box and its scissors to open the mailing envelopes--no small feat layers of packing tape, plastic no-tear mailing envelopes and cardboard mailers.  The Victorinox scissors made short work of this task.  By contrast, one of my Juice MT's could hardly make any progress when I tried it on a previous mail call on a no-tear mail heavily wrapped in packing tape for security and reinforcement (the SAK scissors had no trouble).

Sorry no pictures as the mailing materials are already in the recycle bin.

No pics (kinda hard to do when you're using both hands ;) ), but my 111mm GAK was a beast today at work. It opened pallets, bags of silica and limestone powder for mixing batches of epoxy, and some zip ties. It also tightened several screws on a wobbly table, and the flat driver opened three dozen gallon paint cans that had been weighed out wrong (not by me!). The flat driver also forced open a simple door lock to get into the maintainance office, where the keys were inside on a desk...... ;)

Used the awl on my Spartan  to start two pilot  holes in my vehicle's console near the driver side ( leg well)
Needed to drill two holes for a mounting bracket for a two way radio installation

It was in an awkward location near the floor , and the console is hard plastic

In hindsight , the awl on the Pioneer would been easier and safer for this  particular task

The inline awl would have been more  stable

But, of course, I used the SAK at hand,  ever mindful of the awl's tendency to want to close on me


Note: No injuries

I have been getting a higher volume of packages (paper & plastic mailers and some boxes). 

Today, I used my Explorer's scissors to open all of the envelop mailers and small blade to slit box tape seals. 

My trusty Explorer freed a couple of SAK relatives from their packaged prison.  :)

After almost a week of not needing the magnifier, the need to read small print has spiked in the last day or so.

I didn't recognize the knife so it was helpful to read that it is a custom Yeoman.  I have to admit being very curious about the back story.  I keep running across examples of custom SAKs and am curious as to how they are acquired.  I know that several folks on this site modify SAKs and have seen various photos, videos and text that summarize the process.  Outside of commissioning someone to create a custom SAK, I wonder if there is a place to look for custom SAKs for sale (just my over-active curiosity).

By the way, is that custom a 3 layer?

Thanks for sharing!

Well it would have been 3 layers except I wanted the wood saw  :ahhh and that makes it 4.  A 3 layer SAK will always feel like my first knife, the Camper, but I wanted the scissors and magnifying glass which brought this out to 4.

Used my Pruner (new to me) main blade to cut and remove the masses of fat (about 1/3 weight) off two large briskets I've been brining for about 10 days. I then used the pruner blade to open a bag of coal. Then the main blade to cut down a 6X1" stick of fatwood into slivers as fire starter for the smoker. After that peeled and cut up some raw carrots to snack on. It was still shaving arm hair after that. Colour me impressed.

It takes patience on the vice to get the new scales flush with the outer liners, to give it a factory look. And when you tighten, you have to let it sit for a bit before you relief pressure on it. It turned out ok i guess  :tu:

I was heading out the door to run some errands when I saw that my wife had finished the contents of a container of dried fruit.  I used the razor-sharp safety blade of my Minichamp II to score around the top of the container so as not to remove the colorful wrap of the container before removing the plastic top seal.  The Minichamp made short work of the internal seal as well.  All of this took a fraction of the time it took me to type this description.  All three of my Minichamps were acquired less than a month ago to replace my 36 year old Classic SD (still in fantastic shape). 

I had removed my Classic SD from the keychain prior to purchasing the Minichamps in order to give the Leatherman PS4 a chance.  I liked the idea of having the pliers but never used them.  Interestingly, I needed the file multiple times.  Once the first Minichamp arrived, it replaced the PS4 immediately.  Despite the PS4 pliers and superior file, the Minichamp will remain my go-to keychain multi-tool.  I may decide to bring the PS4 on future errands but it will be as a supplement to the Minichamp.

I used a vintage SwissMemory (64 MB) to carry a few documents to a printing service. Current models have 16 GB. It's not enough to re-enact WikiLeaks but you could carry hundreds or even thousands of books effortlessly.

Amici,
So far today I've used my Craftsman to cut open as well as break down several cardboard toner boxes, removed a cover from a desktop computer, tightened the screws on a plasma screen wall mount, used the scissors to assist me trimming the wires contained within a CAT 5 network cable before crimping, the pliers to remove a jammed object from a printer, and the main blade to slice a bagel to go along with my coffee. So far so good! ..

Cheers,
Serge

Cybertool 34 Sewing machine servicing

Took apart my girlfriends sewing machine with a CyberTool moments ago.
I'm in the process of making sheaths and handkerchiefs but am kinda tired of hand sewing.
But when I dusted of the machine I found that it didn't work properly, it made a really raw noise.
It took me a couple of days to track down a manual for the thing. Now it's cleaned, oiled and sounds way better.
(I also found out how to use the second set of sewing patterns. Which was pretty damn obvious as they are colour coded.  :facepalm:)

What's interesting is that while both soldiers are from 1971, the WK stamps are different. See how one is horizontal while the other is vertical:

I read on the SOSAK site (http://www.swissarmyknights.com/articles/2011/january-2011/300-pre-shield-years) that the stamp was rotated 90 degrees in 1972. Turns out I now have the proof that the rotation actually happened in 1971 instead of 1972 :salute:

One of the reasons I majored in History in college was because of my fascination with details like this. I look at those things and my mind takes me on a mental journey trying to unravel the stories behind them. Especially the more trivial details. When you consider the watches, clocks and knives that the Swiss invented, and their precision, you know that these things weren't accidentally done. Everything from the design to the placement of the stamps was intentional, but to what end, and how were those decisions arrived at? One man? A committee? Another interesting thing is that it seems that for all of their precision, they didn't really keep records of these things. We have to guess. Anyway, so much for my quirky nature. Thanks for sharing.

I look at those things and my mind takes me on a mental journey trying to unravel the stories behind them. Especially the more trivial details. When you consider the watches, clocks and knives that the Swiss invented, and their precision, you know that these things weren't accidentally done. Everything from the design to the placement of the stamps was intentional, but to what end, and how were those decisions arrived at? One man? A committee? Another interesting thing is that it seems that for all of their precision, they didn't really keep records of these things. We have to guess. Anyway, so much for my quirky nature. Thanks for sharing.

I share your fascination for detail! :salute:

I don't know why the stamp was rotated in the first place. Stamping was probably done with some kind of presser. Maybe after some time the W-K cartridge needed to be replaced and they simply inserted it without thinking about it, and it got 90 degrees rotated, the explanation could be that simple. Otherwise I can't see any reason for rotating it.

Used the tip on the can opener tool to pop the clips on the 2 struts holding the rear hatch door up on my son's Santa Fe, so he could R&R them...

I was initially skeptical of Victorinox oil before I learned that it was "Food friendly".  I picked up two of them in December and now I am a believer.  I even use it to clean my blades when they get gummed up after using them to open packages.

Like the photo!

True, and it's pricey as well. However, I picked one up at a sale and I like the oil. Plus it's easy to apply with the tip on the bottle.
As an alternative I like Ballistol oil. Just like Vic-oil it's food safe, but it has a particular smell. So I'm back to using Vic-oil.

For cleaning gummed up blades I like white-spirit best. Or acetone. With the latter you have to be real careful not to get it on your scales. It will ruin them in an instant.
Also very good for cleaning is a sonic cleaner. Just fill it up with luke warm or warm-hot water and a dash of dishsoap.

And thanks for the compliment on the photo ^_~

Hi FB
This is one of the best Lego kits ever.
My other half got it for her birthday a couple of years ago (from me of course!!)

It's on permanent display in our house on top of a bookcase - We point it out occasionally to visitors - No-one believes it is even Lego till they get close.
Lots of really fun features in the set eg "Make Lego - Not war", the lava lamp etc etc and incredibly true to life - pop up roof, fold away bed, sink etc -  the driver's cab is amazing.

Here is the designer talking about why and how they conceived and made this set!!

Thanks!

What's interesting is that while both soldiers are from 1971, the WK stamps are different. See how one is horizontal while the other is vertical:

One of the endearing quirks about SAKs are those strange little oddities. I mean, someone had to decide to add those differences, but who? And how were those decisions made? Fascinating.

Yeah, fascinating indeed!

Installed a "peep hole" in our front door today.
Don't know the actual translation, but over here it's called litteraly "door spy"

The Swisschamp came in handy.

Used the small blade to cut away some remaining material.

Afterworths it seemed that the inside needs to be screwed in by using the small cutouts, which are apart way to far to use a screwdriver.
Luckely, the spine of the caplifter worked flawlessly!

Fixed a central heating system with my Handyman.
The pressure was low so it didn't work. I had to refill the system, but the hose connecting it to the waterline was busted.
The o-ring was worn down and it sprayed water everywhere.
I made a new hose out of two older ones and connected the central heating to the water line. Used my pliers to turn the valve which was missing the key.

No pics, but my Pioneer helped to cut up some roast beef and potatoes at dinner tonight.  My 15 year old looked over at me using the SAK to cut my dinner and laughed and said, "Really?"

They get a kick out of me using my various knives at dinner and in the kitchen.

What timing ! Over a long period of time I read every page of this thread. And just as I started reading the last page I hear my teenage son complaining to my wife that he has a double knot in his jogging pants. The Tinker is with me. I hollered for my better half to grab the Huntsman in our room and try the corkscrew. She gave up too quick. Handed it to me. That was one small/tight knot, but it's all good now.  :woohoo:
My first corkscrew un-knotting.
Any day now, an Explorer is arriving. Philips and corkscrew harmony !  :D

Got back home in KY from my trip up to IN (where I'm from...) and decided to do some hose work.

We have an old hose reel I decided to use on lower back patio for now.  We don't have grass yet here at the new house and the patio had mud all over it. Will eventually get a new hose and reel, but this worked for now!

Had to use the ol' SI to cut and R&R some hose clamps.

Not my SAK, but I cleaned it for my brother.
The day I got my first SAK he got his first.

I think it's a Spartan Cellidor Economy. It's seen heavy use. It was all crusty from sand and salt. None of the tools snapped anymore. The can and bottle opener had to be forced closed  :(
Gave it a 'bacta treatment' (ultrasonic cleaner) and I sharpened the blades. The small blade couldn't cut a pudding if I wanted to.
Afterwards a few drops of Vic oil and the Spartan was ready for it's next adventure.

That is a thing of beauty!  A SAK actually used as was meant, not a shelf or drawer queen.

I'm only a month into it, but that is my intention for my SI...I hope it holds up as well!

I hope so!  I used to carry a Leatherman every where I went. For many years it was a PST, then later a Gen 1 Wave.

When I first stumbled across MT.O I had the PST, the Wave and a Super Tool 200.

Didn't take long and I had acquired a loooong list of Leatherman tools and a few SAKs.

Then one day I realized I had been carrying one of my many Leatherman tools on my belt for many months, and in my newer job, I really had no use for one. Use of the knife and occasionally a screwdriver blade. It seemed alot of work for the return, so I stopped carrying the multitools and began carrying one of my 2 Kershaw knives (Clash and Whirlwind).

I was good with those but did miss the screwdriver blades at times.  Then an incident occurred at work that had me worried about carrying such an "aggressive" looking knife, and I was loving the look of ALOX Saks so I ordered up the SI and retired the knives.

Since getting the Wenger at start of February, it has happily been in my pocket all but 2 days.  I picked up a black Pioneer because I do like black better, but the bail on the SI just looks so much better (to me...) that the Pioneer was retired back to the drawer (soon to go on my wife's keyring...) and the SI and I have been inseparable ever since.

It is not threatening to others if I whip it out at work and it has been able to help me accomplish every task I have asked of it.  I see a long life together...

That is a thing for beauty!  A SAK actually used as was meant, not a shelf or drawer queen.

I'm only a month into it, but that is my intention for my SI...I hope it holds up as well!

Thanks!
And I have no doubts your SI will serve you well.
I hope so!  I used to carry a Leatherman every where I went. For many years it was a PST, then later a Gen 1 Wave.

When I first stumbled across MT.O I had the PST, the Wave and a Super Tool 200.

Didn't take long and I had acquired a loooong list of Leatherman tools and a few SAKs.

Then one day I realized I had been carrying one of my many Leatherman tools on my belt for many months, and in my newer job, I really had no use for one. Use of the knife and occasionally a screwdriver blade. It seemed alot of work for the return, so I stopped carrying the multitools and began carrying one of my 2 Kershaw knives (Clash and Whirlwind).

I was good with those but did miss the screwdriver blades at times.  Then an incident occurred at work that had me worried about carrying such an "aggressive" looking knife, and I was loving the look of ALOX Saks so I ordered up the SI and retired the knives.

Since getting the Wenger at start of February, it has happily been in my pocket all but 2 days.  I picked up a black Pioneer because I do like black better, but the bail on the SI just looks so much better (to me...) that the Pioneer was retired back to the drawer (soon to go on my wife's keyring...) and the SI and I have been inseparable ever since.

It is not threatening to others if I whip it out at work and it has been able to help me accomplish every task I have asked of it.  I see a long life together...

Nice story mate  :tu:

And i totally agree with the non threatening look of a sak, especially up to 91mm ones.
I personally never actually been "into" knives (especially tactical stuff with a weapon kind of look) or probably even proper multitools for that matter (even though they can me very handy too).

I am and always will be a Sak lover. I'll carry a knife or multi tool if i need it for a specific job that requires one but only for that peruse, not because i'm actually into owning or carrying those as an enjoyment.

On the other hand i've always enjoyed carrying and using sak's because me and everybody else see's it as a usefull tool and not as a possible weapon  ;)

I am new to joining forums but have been reading them and various reviews online for a number of years.
and the most berated implement on an SAK has been the fish scaler hook remover. But I have found that if
you need a flat sided coffee stirring, scalloped edged wire stripping bread slicing pointed dig in the dirt save
your blade seed starting screw measuring straight edge unplug the end of a pipe bbq grill scaping stick
that double as a fish scaler it works pretty well.

However uncomfortable the pen is, it's always there when I need it.
It's been used to write in all orientations, in bad weather and has been used to tighten screws.
It manages to make my bad handwriting even worse, but I wouldn't want to miss it for a thing.

Someone told the conductor there was someone with a knife.
*YAY* I clearly wasn't thinking pulling out a blade on a train.
Got a lecture about knives on trains, and had to surrender the Solo.
I mentioned that it was a 'collectors item' and that I carry a pocket knife since early childhood. We got talking, I showed him mine, he showed me his (111mm Spartan like model) we had a good laugh.
I got another firm warning and that was it.

Better think twice on a train next time.

Glad you did not lose it. Society has gotten silly stupid about knives and tools. I was not allowed into court (jury duty) because I had a wallet nija in my wallet found by the xray. I was given a choice to give it to them and not get it back or take it to my car.

Yeah, that was funny. He only showed it when I told him I carried a SAK since childhood and that it's nothing more than a tool to me.
He said he understands and has a lot of use out of his too.
So I got a warning.
I'm not sure what the regulation is for railway personel. But seeing the use I get out of mine I can see the usefulness of a SAK to someone working on a train.

The conductor shows up with two muscled guys.
Someone told the conductor there was someone with a knife.
*YAY* I clearly wasn't thinking pulling out a blade on a train.
Got a lecture about knives on trains, and had to surrender the Solo.
I mentioned that it was a 'collectors item' and that I carry a pocket knife since early childhood. We got talking, I showed him mine, he showed me his (111mm Spartan like model) we had a good laugh.
I got another firm warning and that was it.

Better think twice on a train next time.

Wait, what, he was carrying a knife while telling you off for carrying a knife?

Yeah, that was funny. He only showed it when I told him I carried a SAK since childhood and that it's nothing more than a tool to me.
He said he understands and has a lot of use out of his too.
So I got a warning.
I'm not sure what the regulation is for railway personel. But seeing the use I get out of mine I can see the usefulness of a SAK to someone working on a train.


Wonder what the person who complained felt about it? We see the problem halved. But to them maybe it just doubled.

That's a cool task. Every time I see that model I start to miss carrying my US pocket knife.

Well the Pharmber got pocket time, yet also saved the party! Who brings things to a party and doesn't bring anything to open the them, like :doh: , this is why you need to be "PREPARED!" So not only pocket time but usage!

I'm not sure. as far as I knew the cart was empty apart form me. The train was due to leave in 15 minutes, so it's possible someone walked by on the platform and saw the blade. I'm just glad it all turned out well. I'd hate to loose a Solo over such a triviality (at least to me it's a triviality, haha)

Today I had to disassemble my girlfriends Fitmeter, a WiiU accessory, again. She left it in her skirt when she put it in the laundry. AGAIN. This is the fourth time. It's drying now, hope it still works.

 l thought the cart had some other passengers in it in the middle of the trip, and that some whiny scaredy wimp that thinks anyone using a blade for something is a criminal had promptly went on and complained about it to someone.
But someone walking in the platform seeing someone peeling an apple with a pocket knife (that is more than legal to carry and use in public), on an empty stoped train, and go and complain, for me is not a scaredy whiner, it's simply an idiot!!!
Probably a foot kick in his butt would successfuly cure him of that!

I agree, but rules are rules. No knives on the train is no knives on the train. I'm an idiot for pulling it out and peel an apple. But as I said, I wasn't thinking.

The knifeophobic attitude here is driving me nuts. A knife is nothing more than a tool to me. And let's be honest it's nothing more than a tool to anyone. Every kitchen drawer is filled with knives. Every toolbox has a Stanly knife of some sort in it. The funny thing is as soon as you leave home with one it's presumed to be a weapon.
And a SAK is hardly a weapon. It does not deploy quickly enough and using a non locking blade as a weapon is asking to getting your fingers cut.

On the other hand, you don't need to deploy any tool to punch someone in the face with a SAK.  :rofl:

Well, i don't know the legal issues of using a legal pocket knife for cutting food on a train over here, but while i personally would's use it (at least the big blade) to avoid misunderstandings by some whiners passing by, i would most certainly not report a passenger with one, while pealing his fruit to eat.

A lot of people see a blade (any blade) and associate it with a weapon, forgetting that virtually anything can be used as a weapon (even a lethal one) by one who knows how to use it and/or has that intent.
It's not the (any) object that is the threat, it's the person using it that can eventually be a threat... One just has to have good sense in discerning the difference in a given situation.

If someone tried to stab someone with a small folding slip joint blade on a sak the only thing he would successfully cut was his fingers as the blade would close on him...  :whistle:

Wouldn't it be funny if one of those "scaredy cats" invited someone to dinner at his house and the person saw him grab a kitchen knife to cut some vegetables and i immediately called the police on him...
Like: "...Oh officer, he suddenly picked up a knife and i felt threatened..."   :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Haha, and imagine removing all knives from the table and kitchen when those knifeophobes come over. Good luck cutting your meat!

I'm currently looking into the legal issues. In theory, you can legally carry a 29cm folding knife in Holland. However, local regulations may dictate that you can't carry a knife at all. Transportation of knives through those areas may be possible if the items are well packaged and not within reach.
Train stations usually forbid carrying knives. However, I;m now reading through the Train Regulations and nowhere is stated that you can't carry or transport knives.
If you to the extreme you can carry a knife, and only pull it out of your pocket when the train is moving and not at a train station  :rofl:

So, next time I'm on a train and it has left the station  :climber:

Legal carry 29cm folding knife? Man, they are very benevolent over there...  :cheers:
Over here, the max folding non-locking blade one can carry over here is 10cm. 

While there aren't (and can't be) any restrictions to pocket carrying a regular small pocket knife on public transportation's here (airplanes excluded of course), there probably will be some to actually take out and deploy the pocket knife for use in a transport, i really don't know...
In any case is best to avoid using it in there (especially the blade of course).

My wife has an Executive and she uses the nail file and scissor's on the train to work all the time, and no one has even blinked an eye because of it.  ::)

We Dutchies have a very tolerable law concerning knives.Our weapons law can be a little confusing, as it's perfectly legal to have a bow and arrow, yet a slingshot is illegal  ???

Anyway, the Executive has a far less intimidating appearance than the blade of a 108mm Solo. I guess.  :o
I've used scissors and similar tools like pliers on my Handyman on numerous occasions in filled carts without a problem.
Its a funny world we live in.

My pharmacy has managed to misplace what I refer to as our "topless strippers," i.e. our "popper toppers," or childproof lid-destroyers; they're levers that allow for us to remove the safety component to lids in order to make them easily removable for those who have difficulty with safety lids.  I had a bottle I didn't wish to puncture, so I attempted to use my Recruit to pry the top of the lid off, to no avail.  I managed to locate another already-popped lid that we switched out, but we're quickly running out of those lids; we've been missing our popper topper for almost a week now. :/

Still, I'm a big fan of the Recruit, so it gets a C for effort, an F for execution. :D

There are times when an sak or plier based tool will leave you red faced. They can fill in for stand alone tools but will never replace them. I have been let down by the pliers many times for just not being the right shape, length etc. Anyone who thinks your are covered by any type of multitool while going on a road trip instead of having basic tools with you is going to have a long wait even if its just a battery issue.

Cleaning Solo with Toothpick

Wanted tp peel an apple with my Solo but noticed some resistance on the joint.
Odd. Turned out to be some lint buildup. The Toothpick from my Handyman made short work of that.

Used my Spirit yesterday to saw some timber to fix the shed roof, the awl poked some pilot holes so I could screw the timber on with my Yankee SD and the serrated blade cut the roofing felt to size. Didn't take pics but I appreciate this is a cardinal sin so here's some from when I used the Spirit to assemble my new allotment incinerator. I've incinerated 4 allotments with it so far........

Well, not today but yesterday.
I used my 108mm Solo as a steak knife.
Not that special you may think, but the waiter thought so. She was kind of offended I pulled out my own knife to cut my steak.
The knives in the restaurant were mere plates of metal with a handle on it.
I think it's a waste to order a fine piece of meat (which was really nice indeed) and then tear it apart with a rubbish knife.
When I cut into it with the restaurant's knife I thought it was very tough, but it wasn't.

So, the 108mm Solo is also a very good steak knife for classy dinners!

Used the Spirit to swap out a standard light switch with a timer unit - someone keeps leaving the light on in the bin room  :facepalm: Also used the Spirit and SI to fit new door handles to bin room. No pics as my residents would want to know why I'm photographing myself working, so you'll have to imagine it.  :D

I'm very curious how you use that rattling wrench. Do you remove the paracord by untieing the knot?

Current ideas that interest me are: 
Alox vs Cellidor.   

Dating SAKs

My FAVORITE FAVORITE

Urban EDC vs Suburban EDC   :D  jk on that one

Today I carried the Climber as secondary knife, used it to cook.

I always ridicule my girlfriend because she does all her cutting in the kitchen with one of those generic kitchen knives.
And if I say everything, I mean everything. I've seen her murder a crop of lettuce more than once . Or tear a steak apart, or squish a tomato.

But today she handed it back to me, because I did everything with an even smaller blade. :rofl:
(I have to admit, the generic kitchen knife has one advantage, the spine is just as sharp as the edge  :rofl: :rofl:)

Not really. I like to bend paperclips when I'm bored or concentrated on something. Most of the time the result is a messy ball of wire.
This time I bend one out and rolled the tip along a Bic pen. It reminded me of a coathanger and I made a coathanger out of it. It's not difficult.

Since the workstation got updated, I figured I better make some more shelves to add on, so I found some ply but out of blades so I broke out the farmer and started cutting, only got two cuts today since we had to do something else, so tomorrow I should be able to finish..

Since I moved I have my very own workshop.
Very nice and I've been trying my hand at woodworking.
I put a chisel in my finger, just to make sure it was sharp by accident  :facepalm:

So I've been cutting bandaids with my CT34 all day. The alcohol (had sanitiser) dissolves the glue.  :facepalm:

Used the farmers awl like I always do, but I had to punch holes threw the curtain rod, then threw a piece of plastic so I could rivet the two together, not the prettiest but I must say it does the job!

Okay I didn't really use my SAK, and technically it was Sunday, not today. But here goes...

(http://i.imgur.com/4K9d9TAl.jpg)

I went to a casino last sunday. I couldn't find anything about forbidden items, but I decided to leave my Handyman in the car and switch to a MiniChamp instead. Just to make sure.
The SAK chip was my lucky charm that night.
We did a Roulette trial which I won. I used my MiniChamp to open my prize; various Casino goodies and... €50,- of play money.
In the end I won €47,- Considering I came with nothing that's pretty sweet!

I'm not really a fan of the Casino, but it was a very fun night nonetheless.

The prize money will be invested in SAKs  :D

This mornings tasks with my Pruner involved slicing 3 nectarines, cutting up a large double thickness cardboard box, slicing open a bag of coal, whittling a stick of fat wood into shavings for fire starter, trimming the fat off 3 large brined briskets and cutting up two apples. Still razor sharp. I love the SAK blade geometry.

I needed a small pair of pliers to make a bail for my Amefa. I'll hunt down a beat up one with a bail to replace it with a real one.
But for now this will suffice.

My silly fingers could not pull these bark overgrown/engulfed metal wire pieces out of able tree branches. So I turned around to get some pliers ... but :think: .... maybe the wire notch on my Farmer could prove usefull to grab and pull the wire pieces - it totally worked  :tu:

So I'm on a business trip again and this time I decided to have some fun and when the working day was over I went to the climbing training. After returning to the hotel I decided to buy some cheese with yogurt to stock up on proteins. The only thing I realized later was that I have no spoon. After thinking about that I picked up my Forester and made this weird one out of a small plastic bottle (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170602/1324a4cf4c82caf42427db670cafaaa7.jpg)

Nice Super Tool 200 & Master Ranger!

No pics from me today but I have cached a number of SAKs in strategic places in my house for utility needs.  Today, I was in the kitchen multi-tasking and needed to change out the paper towel from a free standing oak paper towel holder.  Somehow the center rod became loose and would tighten without securing the Philips on the bottom.  I was so happy for the opportunity to use one of my SAK Philips and the closest SAK was a Tinker that did the job.  I don't think a day goes by without me using one of my SAKs.

Fixed the amplifier. Had sound falling away. Suspected the source selector. I cleaned it with contact cleaner and now it appears to be functioning again.

Using contact cleaner spray may just be a temporary solution and I may still have to replace the source selector switch eventually but who knows, maybe it will work for years to come without trouble :)

Using contact cleaner spray may just be a temporary solution and I may still have to replace the source selector switch eventually but who knows, maybe it will work for years to come without trouble :)

And let's hope it continues to work with treble.

(I'm just out of bed and read treble instead of trouble, I'm slowly waking up...)

Nice amp though!

Thanks! So far so good :)

It's a Rotel RA-980BX. Although around 20 years old it's still a great amp with a big power reserve, and in great condition for its age :salute:

Watched somewhere that the flat sd/bottle opener can be used to carve holes... Felix Immler's youtube vid I think. Needs some modifying a bit though... chisel grind edge...

Small blade is excellent for detailed work... tapered profile...

Yeah, I could be sued for abuse...

The small blade does work great for the outline part and cutting with the grain, just prying the little chips is where I've gone wrong.

Sorry to hear that mate...  :(

You can always "round" off the blade tip now if you don't want to alter the profile very much  :-\

However, i wouldn't personally use any sak tools for that kind of job IMO  :think:

Thanks, dude  It's my thing, I just need to be better at it.  I make SAKs displays using only SAKs...  The small blade is much more effective now w/out so much of a taper.

Seeing it was their last piece and restocking time is unknown, I had to use the chisel and the awl on my 91mm Ranger to shave some material off of our new moka pot handle as the lid was getting only halfway up and it wouldn't stay open. No pics but both tools were just right for this job :tu:

The lid still doesn't go all the way up, it's a couple of degrees off, but now it sort of locks into place which I consider a feature :D

Used it on me! Or rather my dear wife did. I had a steel micro splinter in the skin under one big toe. Propped up the foot and my wife used my Explorer tweezer​, magnifying glass and straight pin to make life better again  :cheers:

Wew, it's been a while since my last post. It's been due to a combination of my cellphone carrier ending my lifetime unlimited dataplan and my phone dying.
Unfortunate events to say the least.

Anyway, I got a new car radio and had to take my old one out:

I didn't have the release keys for the Kenwood, so I had to improvise. A pair of streetsweeper blades and a Handyman did the trick.
Only to learn that Sony uses another connector than Kenwood. So today I have to shop for another cable.

Was on a hike with my girlfriend and our dog, when we came upon some blackberry bushes. They were a bit tricky to pick by hand because of the tiny little thorns on the stem right above where it connects to the berry. I used the blade on my Cadet right putting it right where the berry connected to the stem, with my thumb on the berry and pulled. Made picking them much easier!

And I still got a tiny little thorn in my finger anyway, but the tweezers on the Jetsetter on my keychain took care of that!

So today my SAK was quite busy:
1. I'm on a business trip and today it was nasty hot during the meeting in the room and the remote to the conditioner was missing. The window handles were removed for security reasons and to stay alive I had to use the bottle opening large screwdriver on my Forester to open a window.
2. When I got back to the hotel I finally could take a break from being serious, take shower and enjoy cold Pepsi and some delicious peaches. I've opened the bottle and cut the peaches with that Forester too.
3. Last but it least - I have a MacBook Pro with an hdmi port and to enjoy some movie on a large screen of my hotel room TV set I bought and opened an hdmi cable.
That's it for now

I've used my Spirit in the following ways over the last couple weeks:

1. Open a bottle of beer here and there.
2. Used the butter blade to cut a fraying strap off of a duffel bag.
3. Used the pliers to pick up random pieces of trash out on the lot at work.
4. Used the pliers to switch the end of the hand pump on my bike when I had to change a flat.
5. I worked as a bike marshal on a charity ride last Sunday and I used the scissors to cut zip ties to help secure things to numerous bikes.
6. I use the package opener everytime Mrs. TJ and I come home from grocery shopping to open up a case of water.

After cussing out those EPA-compliant ventless spill proof cans (read, spill fuel everywhere but the gas tank fighting with the overly complicated spout)--ours are made by Blitz, and those have both a valve that has to be pressed down, and another switch like thing that has to be held in the "Pour" position to work. I got mad, got out my Classic, and shoved the scissors into the gap between "Store" and "Pour" on the can to hold it in the "Pour" position. Surprisingly, that worked. Eventually, we're converting all our gas and diesel cans to the steel OSHA-type industrial cans.  This just goes to show that the Classic isn't just for "suits and girls" (Swiss Army Knife Owner's Manual", but just about everyone.  And I don't even carry mine on a keychain like most--it's my watch pocket SAK.

No pics, but giving my new Pioneer a real workout this week and it's proving to be a great investment. Everything from tightening a screw that clamps my big dial indicator at work, to slicing my tomato at lunch and spearing the slices with the awl, to opening cans of food, to using the inline awl multiple times in one day at home as I needed pilot holes to locate my hand drill tip for various projects. That slim, fairly minimal SAK is so stinkin' useful !!!

Removed the battery lid from my daughter's bubble wand. The #2 Phillips driver's tip is narrow enough to fit some pretty small screws. The one on this toy is at least a #1 (maybe smaller?)

UPDATE: Apparently, daddy can't get the last battery out by hand. The pliers on my Craftsman managed it.

One example of why I carry the Craftsman as my EDC even though it's a bit on the thicker side. I just prefer to have a big assortment of tools at hand all the time.

It's a hot and sunny day in Phoenix so I gave El Pikachu a chance to prove his quick fire-making skills... about 10 secs for signs of burning/smoke ... would have been quicker if my hand was a little steadier, tough when you're pouring sweat and holding a camera phone in the other hand.  :D

Today I with my wife and children's returned from countryside and I had to unpack a lot of boxes with different kinds of items.
Than I disassembled children's music toy and repaired it.
All of this I have done with help of my Wenger evowood 10.

I know. It's just matter of time till I have to hang it up and get a Rambler or something similar. That's why I want to find out how small of screws the 58's can get?

I don't think a Rambler or even a Minichamp has something that's going to work on a screw that small.

Now I suddenly remembered why I was trying to find a custom metal toothpick for the 58mm - to turn it into a fine screwdriver for my glasses which the 58mm doesn't have.

I used to use the small blade--which is very easy. However, I found the awl slides under tight zip ties with ease and feels a little safer doing so than the blade. Also, the awl is a bit more "heavy duty" than the blade allowing me to really torque the heck out of a thick and/or tight zip tie without worrying that it'll slip and cut my hand.

I didn't come up with the idea. I read it from another member on this forum somewhere.

That's a plus but can it get 2d screws like eye glass screws?

Today the PTC earned its keep again. This is probably the most common task for the combo tool. Changing batteries in a kid's toy. This is one of the reasons I prefer the 2d SD opposed  to the Phillips. It makes a great pry bar for stubborn battery doors.

By now you've heard of Hurricane Harvey pounding the hell out of the Houston, Texas area. Today, my father-in-law and I took a raft and a kayak out to try to evac some geriatric patients from a flooded nursing home. By the time we were able to get to it, FEMA and the National Guard has swarmed the area with resources and the didn't need help from us and our little boats. As we were drifting down the middle of a downtown street headed back to my jeep to load up and clear out, we saw a middle-aged woman standing in the water wearing pajama bottoms, a t-shirt, and a black garbage bag for a rain poncho. She flagged us down and asked if we could open her car trunk and fish out her plastic bag of clothes (presumably to take to the shelter with her). Her car was flooded up to the door handles in the middle of the road. She gave me her key but there was no key hole in the trunk and her electric switch was under water (shorted) and the battery had died. It took some searching but I found the manual release pull behind the rear head rest.
I used the flat screwdriver (bottle opener) on my Craftsman to pop off the cover. The opening was too small for an adult finger to grab the cable. I used the hook to pull the cable and pop the trunk.

I had a deeply satisfying feeling of thinking, "THAT is what that tool--even what a SAK as a whole--was made for!"

P.S. I was also carrying a Leatherman Supertool 200. It never saw the light of day.

Was shredding a bunch of old documents when I got overzealous and jammed the shredder. The extra long bit driver on my Cybertool 41 was just long enough to reach the recessed screws to take the cover off. And the pliers on it were perfect for reaching up between the blades and pulling out wads of paper. Got the shredder shredding again in no time thanks to my new favorite SAK!

Mother's Dyson vaccum was squealing and making a burning noise, in spite of the fact that she cleans the brush head just about weekly. Took apart the head assembly entirely only to find the bearings packed full of pet hair, no oil left. As well as the center-mounted "gearbox" being equally packed. 2 Long haired animals are hard on a vacuum, even one designed to handle pet hair. Explorer to the rescue! as well as a pair of no-name discount store needle nosed pliers from the kitchen drawer and some 3-n-1 oil.

An0nemus,

I think you could get some very thin sheets of either G-10 or micarta and, with a little judicious use of a drill and epoxy, fit flush scales over that Super Tinker. The scales could be flush with the exposed rivets, making the knife no wider than it is currently. It would then be a Super Duper Tinker.   :D

I've never tried this, but you've inspired me to research that option.

Wore the knees out of a pair of cargo pants. The SAK scissors turned them into a pair of yard work shorts. Hacked the legs off just below the cargo pockets.

An0nemus,

I think you could get some very thin sheets of either G-10 or micarta and, with a little judicious use of a drill and epoxy, fit flush scales over that Super Tinker. The scales could be flush with the exposed rivets, making the knife no wider than it is currently. It would then be a Super Duper Tinker.   :D

I've never tried this, but you've inspired me to research that option.
If only I'm mechanically inclined and have the tools, I'd take a go at it, Nix! Here's some inspiring art work from the Indonesian craftsman that jaya_man pointed me to

Used my climber to make some pilot holes for screwswhile working on my daughters project.

Opened a few bottles of beer.

The last was the best,  I found a Russian tortoise at my neighborhood beach parking lot.  Our club house did not have a sharp knife, I took out my climber and made a water dish out of an empty plastic coffee container.

Removed an old, rusty screw on a board that was about to be used as projector wall. My office colleague went around the office looking for a screwdriver, while I pulled out my Super Tinker. Another colleague exclaimed "Swiss knife! Yehey!".

I pulled out the Philips but it was doing a poor job so I opened the can opener and this removed the screw in no time.

IMHO there is nothing wrong with proving that a more general SAK tool is usable for a more precise purpose... it may, of course, carry the connotation that tools only addressing said more precise purpose might, in extremis, prove to be at least in part, dare I use the word, useless? :ahhh: :D

Tested the burn capability of Magnifying glass. Took only a couple seconds holding it still. I might just go pay the fire ants a visit again.

Works pretty good, doesn't it? I'd like to see a side by side comparison of the old versus the new.

Quite well indeed, as soon as I put the focal point on something it starts smoking  :D The spot is so bright it dims my vision after looking at it lmao :ahhh Are you referring to the old gray 8x? or the plastic 5x one that was on the SwissChamp for a shortwhile? The XAVT has both old grey and new clear, the one w/glass 6x I believe. I once heard someone mention you could use both at once on the XAVT for extra magnification but no clue if that's true.

Super Magnification!!!  I wonder if the larger field of view on the newer (post-gray) helps harness more energy... I've only tried it with the gray and as I recall, it was just a few seconds.  For some reason I just favor the look of the old gray housing.  :cheers:

Yeah it can burn things black, from what I saw on youtube you need something with a lower ignition point to get an ember than fire. I'll have to try on a cigarette later for fun, that one seemed to work good. I do agree with the grey magnifier looking nice though I like the clear too, I'm glad they made it glass again. I remember I was looking at getting one SwissChamp back in 2012 when they were plastic.

It's specifically the reason I asked Kandi to try it and the reason I want to get a SAK with the mag glass. I'm thinking about camping or emergency if/when I forget or don't have other means to start a fire. I had assumed it was nearly too small to use for much else, but I may be wrong. If the lens is good enough to give a nice tight beam of light, I'm pretty excited about that!
Sound like Kandi's experiment shows that It is.

And she's going to give the fire ants a taste of their own medicine which made me laugh! Coffee through the nose! Always a great way to wake in the morning.

I would suggest that it's not a firestarting method to be relied upon, merely something to do for fun. You would need full sun, perfect tinder, no cooling breeze, blah blah blah and realistically how often does all that happen? Yes, the mag glass can start fires in ideal conditions, but not reliably.

I repacked some 3D printed 91mm SAK scales and shipped them out to group buy mates. SAK scissors really came in handy. I initially used my Golfer but scissors are loose and need sharpening. So I took out my Super Tinker instead.

Last couple of days I used SAKs for all kinds of stuff. We moved to our new home and every time I needed a tool to dismantle furniture my toolbox was at our new place and when I needed to build up furniture the toolbox was at our old place  :facepalm:

Luckily I had SAKs at both places  :climber:

So those got a lot of use. Sometimes I needed to be creative. At one point I even used a wood saw for unscrewing the bed  :D

Let me explain that one  :D
When I turned the bolt the nut on the other side also turned, so I needed something to hold the nut still while I unscrewed the bolt. The wood saw worked perfectly for that  ;)

I successfully fire started today. So the commonly available cruchy dark leaf found all over everywhere worked fine. I got a nice really dry on and after only a few seconds the burn hole kept expanding on its own so I took off the magnifier while blowing air on it and set it on the cotton and it took nicely. The sun wasn't even high noon and was already a few hours off and it was windy but still worked. Quick and minimal effort.

BTW, I forgot to thank you. I had inquired about this in another thread. This is exactly the testing report I was looking for regarding the magnifier.

Now, I'd just like to hear about some effective uses of the fish scaler from someone. After taking care of some of those boring, grown up responsibilities, I'll be picking up a Swiss Champ myself.

I wonder if I'll miss carrying my Craftsman?

I successfully fire started today. So the commonly available cruchy dark leaf found all over everywhere worked fine. I got a nice really dry on and after only a few seconds the burn hole kept expanding on its own so I took off the magnifier while blowing air on it and set it on the cotton and it took nicely. The sun wasn't even high noon and was already a few hours off and it was windy but still worked. Quick and minimal effort.

Good job!  :tu:

The puppy chewed on the Benadryl cream tube and made a burr that cut my finger. So I trimmed the tube with the small blade and used the chisel to pry up some burrs on the cap so I could trim them off.

As for the fish scaler I have 2 so far, pumpkin carving next month and bark stripping. I used it for scraping the rough kind of bark off, it doesn't mess up the cambium much either incase you wanted to eat it for survival or fun. I imagine it's a good scraper type thing all around, you don't have to worry about dulling or damaging the knife edge and it's smooth all around and washes clean easily unlike the nail file so you can pick the mud or poopoo out of your boot tread or do the macgyver thing and press open a door notch. I'm gonna try to find some chestnuts later, since it still has a kind of thin edge I might be able to split the shell cleanly and get the nut out in one.   :salute:

Good ideas for the fish scaler.

It is great to see that you are finding uses for all the different tools on the Swiss Champ.

Many times people will get a new knife and then hardly use it, but a SAK can only truly be appreciated when a person starts using it to accomplish many different tasks.

Victorinox has done their best to imagine and predict the tools people might need, but there's no way they could ever guess all the uses that people would put all those pieces of variously shaped metal to.
While they've made orange peelers and fish scales and other tools that appear to have specific uses. None of the tools really do.

This is more evidence that one of the BEST planned, BEST designed SAKs ever made is the Pioneer. Although it might not be as fun as carrying a huge SAK full of tools (I'm guilty; I carry a Craftsman), the truth is that most of us could probably get by perfectly well by EDC'ing nothing but a Pioneer or Pioneer X

You're messing up my excuse for buying a new one. LOL!
I've been using the chipped one for awhile still. It's just not as smooth with the chip so I got the new one for cleaner, easier splicing.
But, no, I won't trash the chipped one. I'll rework it  a little and keep it on the tool bench. Besides, it was a gift from my brother-in-law 20 years ago. I actually only remember ever getting rid of one knife. Someone gave me a gothic looking dagger that was made in Pakistan and cheap quality. I'm not into gothic themes or carrying daggers so I have it away.

Oh yeah! Besides being a gift, that was my EDC knife before I ever started carrying a MT. My first EDC was a Buck 110 that I got for birthday or Xmas in the early 90's. Then I was given that Merkator cat a few years later. Even after I discovered Leatherman in the mid-90's--which I carried for years before changing to Victorinox--I still EDC'd the Merkator cat. Even after getting into Vic SAKs, it rode in the left breast pocket of my Filson Mackinaw Cruiser until about 7 years ago.
Come to think of it, I think that Merkator cat has hundreds (if not thousands) of hours of EDC time over any other tool I own. Maybe even more than the Buck. It's certainly seen more duty time than the Buck. The Buck 110 is too much knife for many everyday tasks.

For comparison, left to right: Buck 110, Merkator K55K, Victorinox Craftsman

These processed meat cans can be a pain to peel the top off of a lot of time. Tiny ring needing a bit ot pulling force. Thankfully I have a SAK now for better force transfer. Barely had to pull and it eased off nicely. The thickness of my SwissChaml makes it comfortable and a joy to use and hold.

I used the SwissChamp metal file to tidy up the ends of my nails after cutting them. Pretty hard metal, just a few passes over amd they were smooth and even. Trouble is now I'm having a hard time opening the tools because my nails are gone  :rofl: :oops:

I'm surprised you have any fingers left with that file  :ahhh It's an excellent file, but a little on the aggressive side  :D 
I'd suggest keeping your classic on your keys for that job  ;)
DUDETTE, the 91mm file is NOT for fingernails!!   Please follow Al's advice in the future and use the classic's diamond file :cheers:

No idea  :D

Here's how I did it ....

White fish covered in green pesto sauce and baked in the oven. While that's cooking, chop up some broccoli and grate the stalk. Flake the fish, mix with the broccoli stalk and florets, and dish an even amount into each foil dish. Pour over a white sauce made with a simple butter and flour roux, with added milk and grated mature cheddar. Top up the dish to full with a rosti (grated potato) topped off with some more grated mature cheddar. Pop the foil lid on, label and whack them in the freezer. When it's time to cook them, bung them in a medium oven with the lid still on, and take the lid off before they're finished so they brown nicely on top.

Thanks guys  :cheers: I make a lot of my own "ready meals" like this, as it saves a lot of money in the long run. In the freezer right now I have leek and potato soup, chicken and yellow lentil curry, sausage and bean casserole, chilli, and I think there's a few other older concoctions lurking in there too. I try to always make sure there's some form of chilli in there, and then just vary the rest depending on what I fancy, and what ingredients are cheap at the supermarket when I go  :D

Used the utility blade on my Deluxe Tinker Plus to cut some small leather reinforcements for eyelets on a ditty bag I am making, using up the cutoffs from a pair of Fjallraven pants.
Then went at sewing on the bottom and used the scissors for usual thread cutting as well as close, fine cuts.
Took me far too long, but was worth it in the end.

Had a pretty eventful toilet visit today.

First I close the door and pull off the handle, a loud clock on the other side confirms that I am trapped.
Luckily it's not October yet and I still have my Handyman on me (instead of the Executive). I use the bottleopener to open the door.

The next toilet I go to has no hook. And I need to hang my coat. I can't just drop it on the floor.
So I used the micro screwdriver as a clotheshook.

Sadly, I dropped the screwdriver when I was done and now I have it soaking in alcohol for a good 30 minutes.

Sapphire and white scales are excellent replacements--very nice!

Interesting that you were using a Spartan to pry scales today! I also use a Spartan to pry scales when it is time to replace a set. I used it yesterday and when I couldn't find where I stashed it this afternoon, I went with a Tinker to pop the scales from an Executive. I intended to install the new black scales but after the spa and lube treatment, it looks like I need to do some fine grit sanding with automotive sandpaper and use the Dremel with rubbing compound and polishing for mirror finishes. This will make the other Executive look shabby by comparison so I will have to repeat the process plus buy another set of 71mm scales.

The SAK was not only convenient for some things, it was the only thing small enough to hold the nuts for the grate anchors.

*** Exec challenge here ***

This morning, I used my Exec scissors to open my morning drink mix.

I am digging the extra length of the scissors and it seems the more I use its nail file the more I like it.

I just realized WalMart has those disposable helium tanks, and for much cheaper than online. I got the $20 smaller one, mostly just for fun and might try launching a couple outside to see how far they go.  :D

I used the scissors to open the pack of included balloons + ribbon and finally found a use for the key ring (since victorinox does list it as a function lol)

Nice decision.
Wal-Mart needs to sell a swisschamp with each balloon pack now. )))

haha yeah. After snapping that pic I also rubbed the back of the fish scaler against the ribbon as well to make it curly :)

I will try! Thanks for the advice!
Of course, after the minimal challenge will ended  😁

Opened the annoying blister pack

Changing strings.

The tweezers are PERFECT for grabbing the end of the string and getting them out of that awkward little space on the saddle.

Then used the hook to stretch out the strings.  :salute:  So basically a SAK with tweezers and the hook is a big help for guitar players...  the inline phillips is perfect for most guitar screws ..  so maybe a Yeoman/Explorer is my perfect guitar SAK...

Forgot to post last nigh, but last night I used the inline Phillips on the Swiss Champ to open/close the battery covers of some of my daughter's toys. Actually, since the SC is new to me, I started with the driver tip on the can opener because I forgot about the inline. Needless to say, once I switched to using the actual Phillips tip, the job went much faster.

Yup. It never ceases to amaze me how small a Phillips screw can be before the SC's Phillips bit can't grip it anymore...

Regarding your "P.S." about nothing your Craftsman can't handle...Dedicated tools, especially if they are heavy duty, will always be more robust and tackle tougher jobs. Since most of us don't carry around our tool chests, we can rely on multi-tools when we are away from our dedicated tools or even if it is more convenient not to run for a dedicated tool. The large titanium scissors that we keep in a kitchen drawer can open envelop packages with ease but so can my Explorer and it is more satisfying to use the Explorer. :)

Agreed. I replaced my Craftsman with the Swiss Champ. I used to EDC the Craftsman and have done a lot of work with it. I think until I use the fish scaler, magnifier, or pen I won't really be past the capabilities of the Craftsman SAK. That said, I really like the SC and haven't notice a difference in pocket carry feel between the Swiss Champ and the Craftsman.

Whoever thought you'd use a SAK for grocery shopping?
Went out to a few stores to grab some things. Used the pen to check off items on my list, and uses the inline Phillips to tighten the battery door of the batt. powered fan I have attached to my daughter's car seat.
No pics. I didn't have any free hands for camera work.

BTW, it was my first use of the pen and I noticed it was hard to get it started. Took some scribbling to get the ink to flow. Is this normal for the Victorinox pens?

I have read that the Victorinox pens are actually Fisher Space Pens. If that is true, they should behave like Space Pens in that they can write upside down or on a vertical surface.  Space Pens have a certain amount of PSI pressure and do have to get started. I am not sure if that is initially or off and on. I've only had to scribble a bit with my "Bullet" Space Pen a couple of times and have been very happy with its performance. One of the benefits of the PSI pressure is that it is not supposed to leak.

Oh and I do think the "getting started" is off and on.
All SAKs I bought second hand that had the pen so far didn't write the first few strokes.
They came from airport seizures so they might not have writen for quite some time before I got them.

It seems what I read about Vic's pens being Fisher Space Pens is true. Space Pens have been around for quite some time and are amazing. The do need to get the flow started and then perform very well. My very compact "Bullet" pen in one of Fisher's Space Pen is completely amazing, especially the small form factor that feels like a normal pen when placing the cap on the rear portion of the pen.

Yeah that's how my SwissChamp pen is sometimes as well, same goes for my Rite-In-The-Rain and space pen both made by fisher. The Victorinox pen isn't made by Fisher but the design is the same.

So the Vic pen is a pressurized space pen, as in, you can write with the pen tip pointing up?

Correct.

Used the SC's flat screwdriver to tighten my Lansky bracket to sharpen my Huntsman today.

I used the SwissChamp Magnifier just now to try firestarting again. I was curious about using it on a cigarette and finally got around to getting a fresh pack of red 100s over the weekend. It caught easily in a couple seconds even though it was cool out and the sun was low.

I set a nail on top of it to hold it still in the breeze and focused the magnifier over the center and it took and held without any need to blow or inhale on the cigarette. I could've taken it from there but i took a few extra seconds slowly passing the focal point over the rest of the end because I wanted to smoke it. Than just picked it up and took a deep drag off it and it went just fine as if I had used my zippo. So good easy ember for the tinder in the wild or just a nice lifehack if you don't have a lighter or forget it. :climber:

I didn’t, the leader used my sak! took the little guy to his Boy Scout meeting and I just sat and watched them do their stuff, then came doing knotwork, so, the chief/leader realizes he’s got three kids to teach yet only one long piece of rope, so ok, cut it into a couple of pieces, no? But then he realizes he’s got nothing to cut it with, really, doesn’t carry a freaking knife? So he ends up asking if anyone has scissors? Omg, seriously? But it gets even worse, I stand up to hand down my sak pioneerX, he opens it up, cuts the rope into a couple pieces, hands them out, then turns to me saying, "how does this close, does it have one of those liner locks, or does it just close"? :facepalm: OMG it’s a freaking sak! And yet this guy is the big chief/leader.. oh yeah and he’s also the chief of a fire dept, who else should know a sak better?

I makes me sad to see how things have changed since I was  kid.

I learned how to use a knife properly at a young age.

Now days there seem to be far more people who have never used a pocket knife than those that have. At least that is how it is here.

I can't imagine a Scout leader not knowing how to operate a SAK.

I am glad I grew up when I did.

I am very glad I grew up when I did (born during the Truman administration). My younger brother and I were so eager to learn and there were not as many restrictions as we have these days. My grandfather (born in 1880) lived with us and we would watch with fascination as he would use his folding knife for many routine tasks and pepper him with questions about his knife or other things. My earliest days were filled with discovery and imagination as we listened to the radio before TVs were a household item.

Young indeed, I watched my grandfather use his sak when I was little and he noticed that I was interested, so he told me when you turn 12 I will buy you your first! Needless to say the next 2yrs were the longest I had ever delt with but that time came and I didn’t care for any other packages, just that little box that said: from grandpa!
  When both my kids turned 12 it was a proud time for me to give them their first sak, the same one my grandfather gave me! The older kid, ahh, I don’t think he really cares, he’s more of a sports nut and now into auto, but the little guy, well, he joined the Boy Scouts, and has a collection of I think 4 knives!
   But last night was a little nuts if you ask me, because
first, he didn’t ask for a knife, he asked for scissors! Who is going to bring scissors to a meeting?
Second, they guys the leader, he should know how a sak works!
And last, the guys also a freaking fire chief,

My super nice, very generous neighbor decorates his yard for each holiday. I've started doing it to. Well, he knows I have a little tot daughter and he enjoys when I carry her across the street to see all his Gemmy inflatables in his yard. So yesterday I took her across to see the big Halloween pumpkin he put up. He admits he's something if a hoarder and buys things on sale even if he doesn't need then. So he says he has too many decorations and needs to get rid of some. So, my neighbor gave me 3 inflatables. 2 Halloween and 1 Christmas. So...

--if the story is dragging on, just skip the part above--
Today I used the inline Phillips and the pliers on the Swiss Champ to remove the blower motor(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171011/a96e16217d9b82922197800082809ab6.jpg)

from the spider
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171011/1e6fc642c36f6749a084b55349c84827.jpg)

and put it in the cat.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171011/f030f70d84a7c584f28c850503928a31.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171011/d4bcda5620d31a636902ad603f91f61b.jpg)

I have a garage full of tools and had a more appropriate screwdriver for those little screws, but I wanted to see how small the Vic Phillips goes. I know it's supposed to handle the large #2 screws, but it has a unique design so I was curious. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171011/ced5249a6df9e6ec21a2eecb74de1e93.jpg)

Worked with no problem. Good to know! I like testing my tools in the comfort and safety of home where I have a whole tool bench to use in case of failure. Once I learn the capabilities (and limits) of a MT, it increases my faith and confidence in the tool to perform for me when I'm out and about.

So yesterday I took her across to see the big Halloween pumpkin he put up. He admits he's something if a hoarder and buys things on sale even if he doesn't need then. So he says he has too many decorations and needs to get rid of some. So, my neighbor gave me 3 inflatables. 2 Halloween and 1 Christmas. So...

--if the story is dragging on, just skip the part above--
Today I used the inline Phillips and the pliers on the Swiss Champ to remove the blower motor(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171011/a96e16217d9b82922197800082809ab6.jpg)

from the spider

and put it in the cat.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171011/f030f70d84a7c584f28c850503928a31.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171011/d4bcda5620d31a636902ad603f91f61b.jpg)

I have a garage full of tools and had a more appropriate screwdriver for those little screws, but I wanted to see how small the Vic Phillips goes. I know it's supposed to handle the large #2 screws, but it has a unique design so I was curious. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171011/ced5249a6df9e6ec21a2eecb74de1e93.jpg)

Worked with no problem. Good to know! I like testing my tools in the comfort and safety of home where I have a whole tool bench to use in case of failure. Once I learn the capabilities (and limits) of a MT, it increases my faith and confidence in the tool to perform for me when I'm out and about.

Cool pictures.

That is good to test your equipment at home to learn what it is capable of.

Title: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: Tired_Yeti on October 14, 2017, 02:15:19 AM
Not sure what happened. My car battery died while I was at work. I always carry jumper cables in my vehicles but I needed another car to jump off of. I was finally able to get the Perimeter Patrol car to jump my battery, but...
We couldn't get the hood of the old Crown Vic open. The SAK came to the rescue yet again. As the officer pulled the release cable, I used the cap lifter/screwdriver/mini pry bar to pop the hood!
I tend to use that tool as a pry bar more than anything else. Gawd! I love carrying a SAK everywhere! You just never know when...

Bought a little baby doll that drinks water and pees in a musical toilet. My daughter decided the toilet needed water in it so she put it in the dogs' water bowl.
SC to the rescue while daddy takes it apart to dry it.

Surely there's a Dad Badge around here somewhere. LOL!

After a couple days of testing the mechanical watch has a loss of about 2 minutes 15 seconds per 24 hours. Not too bad but it could be better so I popped the toothpick out of the SwissChamp :climber: and used it to get to adjusting the regulator arm. Doing much better now, I'll have to wait until next evening to see just how much but it sounds pretty close now.

Yeah, it's a problem. I think I need a 12-step program. I'll drink 2 or 3 double shots out of it back to back. It's enough caffeine to kill a horse.

I use heavy whipping cream. None of that half & half sissy stuff. Gimme that full fat "liquid butter"!
I run it through a Secura automatic milk frother.

OMG! The results are amazing! I didn't know coffee could taste so good.

Felt a nagging pain in my index finger... no aparent wounds... pulled out the SwissCard Lite from my wallet to use the mag glass... turns out, there’s a splinter of some sort about the same diameter as a thin hair... pulled it with the tweezers...(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171030/e12310b0d76bf528bed877869dfc9624.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171030/9c57bd615b294488cce5c99a1a75331d.jpg)

I had to make a portable ferret cage, so I got a little tote and ziptied the stuff to it, but what makes that possible is using the awl on the pioneerX or farmer! It’s like turning through butter! Also had to put holes in the top too,

Is a ferret cage meant to hold some small animal?

First days carrying my new to me wenger grip, needed to pull a nail from a wine box with the extra challenge of not damaging the nail or the box, easier than i expected, the blunt nose pliers where a plus for this

I was very glad to have a CT34 in my bag today.
I had a patient for a retinal scan. This had to be a wide field scan, so I had to attach the lens.
Unfortunately the lock was tightened in the wrong direction and left the lens loose on the camera.
I MacGuyvered it loos by wrapping it in medical tape for grip. The CT34 cut the tape when I was done.

The lens in question is big and heavy. When I connected the lens the head of the camera slowly tilted down.
Which makes making a scan impossible as both the patient and the lens need to be kept still.
Luckily the bit driver of the CT34 proved helpful and tightened the slip on the camera and I was able to make some pretty scans.

I really like the bit driver. A very useful tool!

Did a strange thing today with my Forester. See somehow nobody gives a damn about the fact that not one flip chart paper roll in my life had ever been fitting the flip chart I used. The holes are always misplaced. Always no matter what the company, city or country that is. And therefore in order to properly install a paper roll you should drill the holes. Well you got the idea

The "early '60s 4-5 layer Vic" in my recent lot score turned out to be a 1957(8?)-1961 236maU (Ranger) and it's already earning its keep working on an old Marklin HO breakdown crane. I used the tweezers and the partially round awl (great as a marlinspike) to carefully pick a knot in the winch line, and then the tweezers again pull the winch line from the crank, then remove the rubber coating from a paper clip with the scraper on the bottle opener, so that it could be cut and shaped into a new pin to hold a piece.

This is why the pin needed to be replaced. The slots on this part fit into the missing pin, and the other end fits into the boom, so that the boom will remain raised at various positions.  Now to wait until the part arrives to finish the task.

I was oiling a sheath and used my Farmer (Farmer Friday!) to pop the lid of my grease can.

(https://i.imgur.com/jLw7ku2.jpg)

For those of you who can get this stuff (Huberd's Shoe Grease), I highly recommend it. It's a mix of Pine Pitch and Beeswax. It makes a great leather protectant and preservative. Apparently pine pitch resists rot and bugs and water. Bees wax...is just great stuff. The only downside is that the pine pitch smells smokey, like barbecue, and using this stuff always makes me feel hungry. Regardless, it works really well. Git some.

I was picking up some lumber yesterday and noticed a heavy-duty staple sticking out of the side of one of the pieces. Used my deluxe tinker to pull it out before I hauled it down onto my cart, and saved myself from a nasty gash.

For a while I had been thinking about switching to a smaller SAK without pliers, but this reminded me of just how handy they can be.

Used my Cybertool 34 to mount some ceiling lamps.
No photo's unfortunately, it was very dark without lamps  :(

We moved in a bout a year ago and I still had bare bulbs hanging from the ceiling in some rooms.
Some had no light at all  :facepalm:

Now the room with my SAKboard has a real lamp! Now I can adore my SAKs with the light on!

Well, we went to Costco for a few things and my wife needed to order a birthday cake. She said, "Do you have a pen?"

I said, "I do!"
We went back and forth for a moment because she didn't believe me. She thought I was being sarcastic.

Then, I pulled the SwissChamp out if my pocket and pulled the pen out.

She said, "wow! Really? That's really cool. I didn't know they made those!"

Yup. Day saved...by the Champ

Nothing fancy... my alox minichamp's nail file... on my nails  ::)

I've been doing that more and more often to keep the tips/edges smooth so as to prevent me from biting them. I noticed that I'm actually unconsciously checking my nail tips for irregularities which then turns into biting them off... making more irregularities in the process. Having the "new" Victorinox nail file on an EDC helps a lot in fighting that awful habit :D (I find the older nail file too rough to easily get a smooth finish)

We recently got a new (to us) car, and hubby ordered new floor mats for it. The problem was that they were generic floor mats, and some trimming needed to be done to fit them in the footwell of the driver's side.

I grabbed the first SAK at hand (my Small Tinker on the coffee table) and went to it.

And... wow. I was shocked. I though that heavy plastic/rubber of the mats would put up at least a LITTLE fight. Nope. The large pen blade slid through it with frightening ease. I'm not saying it was effortless, just that i feared if the knife was up to the challenge, and turned out to not even work up a sweat.

SMALL TINKER FOR THE WIN!

The rail for an end table drawer somehow came loose and caused the drawer to stick up like it was falling out the bottom of the table. The screw was still screwed into the end table(and wouldn't budge). So, I used the awl on my Hiker to drill out a hole where the screw was and slipped it over the screw to fix it. Done.  :tu:

Once again the cap lifter on my Soldier saved the day. I had to bend a barn door latch back in place so I could lock it. This tool is one of the reasons I like the 111mm liner lock models.

Even on the lighter models, I've considered the flathead driver one of the first, and most important reasons to carry a SAK instead of just a knife. I'm shocked at how much word the flathead on a 91mm can manage, not to mention the much beefier version on the 93mm Farmer. And the locking one on the 111mm Soldier/Trekker is a beast.

This brought me to the Decision to put my Swisschamp XLT on the shelf and use now the Little 84mm SAK as EDC Knife,
And I ordered the same Modell from Victorinox because when I use this Modell every day, I want a Knife which works better..

I used my Forester to slice a pear,  an orange and an apple. Those were all delicious and since I recently learned to sharpen a SAK properly it all went down a treat :)

sliced up some bread, cucumber, cheese, and pears then opened a bottle of el Pinot Noir  :drink:  :salute:

Something I've been looking for is non-alcoholic beverages that use a cork that needs a corkscrew to be removed so I can use the corkscrew for what it's intended (not untying ropes and carrying the micro screwdriver, though those are listed uses in the instructions).  Some friends of my grandparents give us sparkling juice every year at Christmas, and it's cut (or twist) the wire off, and then let the cork pop out, thus it doesn't need a corkscrew. .

Today I used my Champion's magnifying glass to try to interpret some worn away knife tang stamps.

Whe got a unruly can of soup today in our kitchen, and neither of our can openers worked on it, so I decided to return to carry my S557 Evogrip (Wenger) and opened the Can whit it’s Wenger Style Can Opener..

This brought me to the Decision to put my Swisschamp XLT on the shelf and use now the Little 84mm SAK as EDC Knife,
And I ordered the same Modell from Victorinox because when I use this Modell every day, I want a Knife which works better..

Wonder if the can opener that failed need sharpening? If so, a little permanent marker on the old bevel and to help guide you while using a stone file to touch up the edge both sides. Works for me and makes can opening easier.

Used the magical can opening screwdriver on my Forester to disassemble and then fix my old small mixing board with a soundcard. It turned out that one of the input jacks got smurfed and I replaced it. Works like magic now

Rarer in Finland though lights being out is a off course common excuse to pull you over at night, you know, to avoid just saying you drive like a drunk. But it seems that if an incoming law change comes to pass even such miscellaneous lights being out can make you fail vehicle inspections, now you just get a citation to correct it, and police can technically fine you if it's not repaired in a timely fashion, never heard of that happening to anyone though.

I used my Handyman's wood saw just a minute ago to cut a couple of lengths of 3.5 cm thick bamboo, at the knuckles or joints whatever they're called. I admit it was slow going but I got lovely tidy cuts, better than I would have got with any of my "real" saws. :salute: I then finished the edges with the file. I'm really happy with the job! :)

Made a unique little tool, I needed something to scrape the gutters out, so I found a few things, used the awl to put holes in and then popped rivets in, turned out a little unique, kinda worked, but since idk when the last time these things were cleaned out it didn’t pick up everything with such large twigs, but the other leafs and gunk it scraped out..

I used my Swisschamp to catch up on some "honey-do" projects around the house today.  The in-line Phillips came in handy for replacing some burned out bulbs in our landscape lighting.  I also used the Phillips, cap lifter (for gentle prying) and the pliers to replace the bottom of an Ikea dresser drawer that had broken.

Honey-do projects, I like that, the gutters were one of those, just like the replace the cartridge to the scent thingy in the bathroom, and also take the measurements of the front for a possible deck this summer, I guess I can add another use for the sak, I needed the knife to sharpen the pencil tip to write/draw the measurements..

Oh and I just needed the scissors on the pioneerX to wrap things up before bed to cut a few of those very irritating facial hairs that curl in at the very corner..

There's a Wera mini ratched in the pic as well.
I love it.

A colleague does horse riding and jumping.
This is part of an infrared light barrier for time counting etc.
It seems the li-ion battery lost a few cells so the voltage is too​ low now for normal operation.
It's a bit tricky to find a replacement that has the exact same measurements so it would fit in.

Was making a unique bird feeder, and that alox awl is great for what I needed, today the little guy gave me a hand and we made the hook out of a coat hanger, only problem was I didn’t want to waste that bottom part, so what to use it for? Then it hit me, a back scratcher? We cut the one end off, then used a candle and heated the other up, bent it a little over, grabbed the other end, heated it up enough to melt the very end and stuck it to the other, got it just right then ran it under some water. But then i got another idea, asked the little guy to go get a pencil sharpener and put a nasty little edge on those scratching ends, he he, then threw a paracord loop on the other end. Was a cute little project to do with the little guy, he loved it, then when after mom with it, lol

I'm not 100 % percent sure what you mean, but the knobs move perfectly smoothly, so they're not scratchy in that sense. The problem is volume/mute knob, it randomly cuts out while turning and there's no rhyme or reason to it, sometimes it's not happening at all, other times right when I start turning it, then comes back, still other times near the end of its way. Anyway I have a friend who's an accomplished guitarist and an electrical engineer by profession, I'll have him look at it and fix it in a couple of days.

Get some Deoxit, that should fix them right up. You just spray a squirt or two in the little slot on the back side, then twist the knob shaft up and down several times.

Used my Cadet to open the tube of Silcone to glue this to the wall and make sure it doesn't boomerang down on someone!
It uses Aluminum All Thread rods to hold each piece in place but they were pretty loose by themselves.

This is not something I normally install but is my 3rd one for this client and the top of this one is about 20' off the cement floor.
I was on a Scissor Lift and it was pretty wiggly up that high and I tried not to go up & down more than I had to?
That doesn't usually work though of course!

So it was either one more trip or remember the Cadet

I'm a big pesto fan.  Do you always use pine nuts?  ever stretch it out with spinach??   Sometimes I just leave out the cheese and put some coarse sea salt in there.

I was doing some remodeling with my black Climber:

- Cut carpet that was torn up
- Used the flathead screw driver on the can opener to remove plug and light switch covers
- Used the awl to create 8 holes in the wall to install decorative shelving

I thought I was going to break something when using the awl. I had to pound the back of the knife to get the awl through the wall (and I mean hard).  It is an older house and I think the walls are plaster.

Worked like a charm.  These knives are amazing!!!

Haha, you would say so. But no. I EDC a Handyman and it has seen a lot of use.
About when I joined this forum I started to carry an additional blade (one handed folder) for ease of use. But the Handyman is my everyday toolbox. It has been used to fix cars, mopeds, bikes, cut free teachers, fix vacuum cleaners in a pinch or fix photopters (eye test apparatus) and in many many more situations.
The best SAK is one that is always there.

I'm a big pesto fan.  Do you always use pine nuts?  ever stretch it out with spinach??   Sometimes I just leave out the cheese and put some coarse sea salt in there.

Yes, I always use pin nuts. However, I've discovered pesto only recently. A receipe called for pesto and the one in store didn't contain any Basil (just spinach). And since I thought that pesto was made out of basil I searched for a traditional receipe. After some teaking mine now is: basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and some oil. I left out the salt.
It might be a good idea to try to strech it out with spinach as Basil is quite expensive over here.

Well, not technically today. I was on the road and didn't have time to upload.

The antanna of my car was stuck. It took two Vic pliers (Handyman and CT34) simultaniously to get it off. Needless to say, the antenna suffered some damage and was ready for the trash.
I have a trick to apply a lot of force on the pliers. Put the handle in the opposit direction of the turn and pull on the handle. Especially with softer materials the teeth of the pliers will eat in the material and give a lot of grip.
Luckily I have not yet destroyed a plair of pliers, they take a lot of abuse.

I also did that, more or less at the time that I started carrying a OHO folder I took my Swisschamp (from my Grandpa) and put it in the safe for preservation, and then I bought a Handyman (previously owned, $25) and used it instead for two years non-stop, on a weekly basis.

Smaller SAKs complimented it but it was the official EDC one.  ::)

I needed TWO swiss army knives for this task...or at least, parts from them.

Reaching for a nice dress shirt to wear for Easter Supper, I realized that the shirts I'd picked up from the dry cleaner were sans collar stays- those little plastic tabs that slide into the slots in the underside of shirt collars that don't button down. If your collars don't button, the ends can easily curl up like a pair of gull wings on either side of your neck, making you look foolish in a business shirt.

Y-yikes!

So I grabbed my Camper and Champion, took the toothpicks out of them, and slid them into those tiny sleeves behind my collar tips, and voi la. Nice straight collars for the day.

I'm driving my MTB all season to kinda get/stay fit... like aging men do  :whistle:
Anyhow, I removed the light last week as I had some days off and drove in bright daylight.

Today I did some needed maintenance and wanted to put the light back on. I struggled to get that rubberring back into its place with my fingers. Those rubberrings are very stiff and wriggle off the fingers at the last moment always.

Then I remembered that often neglected tool hidden on the backside of those modern style SAKs  :D  and gave it a try.
And it was very useful  :tu:

Hooked it in, pulled it into place, turned it around and let the rubberring slip in.

It must be over 20 years ago when I used the corkscrew for its intended purpose last time   :think:

Might be another 20 years before I have that fur-mented dog drink again.

A bit long, but the SwissTool came in handy even though it wasn't the only tool used. With Spring upon us in the Northern Hemisphere, grass is growing and requires mowing. Mowers are being dragged out of winter hibernation, often stored in outdoor sheds. In colder climes they've had weeks of sub-freezing storage and may not be very limber yet. Mine was one such mower.

This is a ten year old self-propelled walk-behind 6-1/2 hp mower. Not trivial in horsepower but with its compression ratio and displacement, it's a PITA to start with a pull cord if it doesn't start on the first couple of pulls. I've come to appreciate the very modest gel-cell battery it has with an electric starter, especially when first starting it after winter storage. This year was like last year. Turn the "key" and the starter motor spins with wondrous whirring sounds, but it's not turning the engine over. Some would pack it up for the mower repair shop, or off to the junk man to be replaced, but if one understands how a Bendix Gear starter works, it's the classic symptom of the starter gear frozen, or stuck, on the Bendix Gear. It's not the starter motor, it's the "Bendix" and I've visited the most likely failure mode this one is suffering from before. If that's what it is, the fix is very simple.

Bendix was a mechanical genius, having invented the device that made electric engine starters practical, to eliminate having to hand crank gasoline powered reciprocating engines. It's such a simple device, relying on inertia to operate, but how many would have ever imagined something so elegantly simple. As I understand it, the device made him a small fortune. For those not familiar with a Bendix Gear (or helix) and how it's used in electric starter motors this YouTube video gives a decent explanation . . .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yEUGxq-cyU

I know I'm going to need a 1/4" socket set as some of the fasteners are hex bolts larger than a SAK or SwissTool can handle. This was my father's Thorsen drive set . . . in a Giller box at about the time Thorsen bought Giller. I've added metric sockets since then, but it's a magnificent set. I've got my own Thorsen II set, and a several other 1/4" drive sets scattered around the house and in the car trunk. Get a good "spinner" or drive handle and they become magnificent nut driver sets. There isn't much in terms of hex head nuts and bolts around the interior of a house that cannot be handled by a good 1/4" drive set. Those familiar with industrial tools will recognize the "Williams" name on the 1/4" driver handle.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/831/41645424342_175b271473_b.jpg)

This is the culprit with the recalcitrant Bendix. It's at least ten years old but keeps on running just fine. Not pretty to look at any more as I gave up cosmetic cleaning long ago. After mowing the yard two or three times, this is what it looks like, so why bother. Keeping some things clean of debris like the drive belt and its sheaves, and the air filter, is important along with maintaining the spark plug and occasionally changing engine oil. Keeping top of deck and shrouds clean doesn't do anything. Battery charger has been hooked up to top off the battery even though it held a decent charge over the winter. If it's hard starting though there's no telling how much reserve the battery has. Should be topped off to full charge anyway.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/980/41645424302_ea03e1781a_b.jpg)

Was prepared with the socket set on hand at the mower, but had forgotten about the #2 Phillips on the air cleaner shroud and the hand starter shroud. Could have gone back to get a #2 Phillips driver, but the SwissTool was already at hand and I used it to take out the screw holding the air cleaner shroud onto the mower engine . . .

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/952/41684885821_dd115a0ff1_b.jpg)

and the two screws holding the pull starter shroud onto the mower engine . . .

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/954/41645424032_8a2fbf53d9_b.jpg)

Next come the four hex head bolts that hold the fuel tank onto the engine as the starter motor is under it. The hose connecting the tank to the engine carburetor's fuel bowl need not be disconnected as all that needs to be done is move it out of the way and the hose need only be bent some to accomplish that. The bolt heads are too big for the SwissTool socket set which only deals with smaller size Torx and Allen screws. Mowers are noted for their vibration. Consequently the previous screws were not left loose; they were tightened within reason. These bolts in particular were torqued down using the 1/4" drive ratchet. One of the handy things about having a 1/4" drive hand driver in a 1/4" drive socket set is being able to use it as a nut (or bolt) driver. One of my criteria for these drivers is having a 1/4" drive socket on the end of the handle and the best of these have that integral with the 1/4" drive protruding from the other end. Allows using a 1/4" drive breaker bar or ratchet driver on the end of the driver handle instead of trying to use a wrench on the driver shaft under the handle. The short breaker bar breaks these bolts loose quickly and the driver can be used to spin them out quickly. It's like having a 6" extension with a nifty handle on it.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/829/41684885621_342dae4548_b.jpg)

There are three smaller obvious ones on top and a fourth larger one one that isn't so obvious below the bottom of the tank. The driver isn't (sufficiently magnetic). Getting the top ones out without dropping them is important. If one falls down into the manual starting mechanism it can require a good amount of further disassembly to retrieve it. Better to prevent that. The jaws on the SwissTool pliers are perfect for reaching in to lift them out.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/911/41645423812_83bf7e0499_b.jpg)

With the fuel tank swung out of the way, we're down to the guilty b@$#^rd Bendix. The starter gear has an internal helix matching and mating with the Bendix helix on the starter motor shaft. It should be free to float up and down on that helix. When the starter motor shaft with the Bendix helix starts to turn, inertia (bodies at rest would like to remain at rest; they're lazy) keeps the starter gear from rotating and it rises on the Bendix helix as it begins to turn. As it rises, it engages the teeth on the outer edge of the engine flywheel, and begins turning the engine crankshaft. As the engine starts and the flywheel starts turning faster than the starter gear, the same Bendix helix pulls the starter gear back down, disengaging it from the flywheel and preventing damage to the starter motor (and gear with Bendix helix) with the engine forcibly spinning it up to high RPM. This is the elegant mechanical beauty of the Bendix. However, if Crudmium plating has accumulated on the Bendix helix and mating helix on the starter gear, it will be stuck to the Bendix helix and its inertia won't cause it to rise on the helix. It will simply spin with the starter motor shaft in the lower, resting position and will not engage the flywheel teeth.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/976/41684885341_ecbdb6d75c_b.jpg)

Last year I used WD-40 to dissolve and flush out the Crudmium coating that had plated itself onto the parts. WD-40 eventually dries out. This year I'm trying something a little different with bicycle chain lube, which is not a grease or heavy oil, it's a fairly light oil, a penetrant, and this particular brand has some Teflon in it. As I do some amount of road cycling, it also just happened to be on the shelf with the other lubricants.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/969/41684886311_6ae42b6a5d_b.jpg)

Now to test the starter to see if the Bendix is working as it should again. We do this with the spark plug wire disconnected from the spark plug as we do not want the engine starting with the fuel tank not firmly attached and other stuff lying about that might get sucked into the spinning blades of death under the mower deck.

https://youtu.be/ugJhtxsnfh4

 :woohoo: it works now, and the video shows how the Bendix causes the starter gear to rise and engage the engine flywheel.
Now to put it all back together . . . this time using a ratchet on the end of the driver handle to sufficiently (firmly) tighten the bolts down.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/956/41645424532_32961329b4_b.jpg)

With the tank reassembled to the engine and the shrouds reattached using the Phillips on the SwissTool, it's time for the "smoke test", to see if there are any smoke leaks when the engine is started. (Everything runs on pressurized smoke; if it leaks out, it quits running.)

https://youtu.be/PwBEQiKZpqA

 :woohoo:

Passed the smoke test. Starter Bendix working properly again, making it much easier to start the mower engine. Had that not worked after a couple tries, I had the secret weapon awaiting on the workbench . . .
The 12" (305 mm) hammer head adjustable Miner's Wrench to beat it into submission. Also has the wider jaw width of a 15" adjustable as compared to a standard 12". Called a "Miner's Wrench" from how it's used in underground hard rock mineral mining by the rock drillers.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/959/41684886151_704b7236b8_b.jpg)

And if that's not sufficient motivation, there's always the 24" (610 mm) adjustable wrench . . .
The sight of it alone is nearly always sufficient to motivate mechanical objects to begin functioning properly again.

The 12" (305 mm) hammer head adjustable Miner's Wrench to beat it into submission. Also has the wider jaw width of a 15" adjustable as compared to a standard 12". Called a "Miner's Wrench" from how it's used in underground hard rock mineral mining by the rock drillers.

And if that's not sufficient motivation, there's always the 24" (610 mm) adjustable wrench . . .
The sight of it alone is nearly always sufficient to motivate mechanical objects to begin functioning properly again.

Notes:
  • The observant will have noted I was wearing blue gloves. These are nitrile "exam" gloves that can be bought by the hundreds for a pittance at the local Sam's Club (a big box warehouse store chain). Started using them over a decade ago when working on things awash in Crudmium. Much better than scrubbing the epidermis off your hands with a stiff brush and dish washing detergent, and trying to get the bits of Crudmium out from around and under fingernails.
  • I highly recommend buying a driver (aka "spinner") with a 1/4" drive socket set that has a 1/4" drive socket in the end of the handle. The socket in the good ones will be one piece with the 1/4" square drive shaft and the handle will be molded around it. Torque on the socket in the end of the handle is then transmitted directly to the socket and not through the handle. Allows using a breaker bar or ratchet on the end of the handle briefly to either loosen or tighten nuts and bolts that require a bit more torque than can be delivered by hand through a driver handle.

Thanks . . . thought it might be interesting for those that had never seen a starter motor Bendix gear (helix) and how it works so elegantly.

Thanks Greg - this is usually all that's wrong with the starter on Briggs & Stratton mower engines if the starter is spinning but not turning the engine over and the fix is so simple. The Bendix and starter gear can crack or break, but that's an uncommon failure mode. Don't know what they're made out of (Delrin ?) but it's very robust. Even that's a relatively easy fix as one circlip holds the Bendix assembly onto the starter motor shaft.

After fixing the starter Bendix a couple days ago and changing the oil yesterday and checking the blade, just before mowing today I checked the air filter. It's an accordion paper filter with a rectangular frame around it. Not very dirty so banging it on the concrete floor of the garage got most of the dust out of it. Good to go for another year. Most filters like this don't need to be replaced every year. Every two or three years is sufficient as long as it's not got a hole in it and most of the dust and dirt is knocked out of it without damaging the integrity of the filter paper. I'm a cheapskate when it comes to stuff like this and readily admit it. Cover is held in place with captive hex head screw that also has flat tip slot. Not wanting to get a nut driver or the 1/4" drive socket set, I pulled out my SAK and did the MacGyver thing with it.

My wife and I were putting together some patio furniture this afternoon, and of course the last cross nut on one of the chair arms was stripped and the bolt wouldn’t tighten.  Off to Home Despot we go and manage to find a replacement cross nut and bolt in a different thread pitch than the factory parts.  Only problem is I get it home and the head on the new bolt was too wide.

So I did what any resourceful SAK owner would do... I chucked the bolt into my drill press and used the awesome stainless file on my space shuttle (master craftsman) to file the head down until it fit.  We’re pretty happy with the results.

Y'know that trick MacGyver always did on the show, of picking a lock by just inserting the backside awl?  That actually worked for me today!

I was taking care of the trash at my store, and needed to run the compactor, which needs a key to operate it.  It must be very worn out, because I just poked the awl on my OHT in the keyhole,  turned it like a key, and it started right up!

I thought maybe any key-like object would work, so I tried it again with my house and car keys, and the nail file on my Esquire, but no luck, only the awl is shaped right for this particular job.

Had to put a lens back in a pair of glasses

I have to do this probably every time I visit some one. There is a always someone who has a loos temple, crooked spectacles or a lens popping out.
Luckily the micro screwdriver is always up to the task.

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

Last weekend I got my dads Bluray player. He bought a new one because this one failed at times. I still didn't have one at home so, why not, Free Bluray right?
I quickly picked a stack of DVD/Blurays from my old bedroom, back home I quickly installed it.
When I was ready to watch a movie this weekend, I had everything ready, it didn't work. With any disk!

Bummer of the year of course. So I took it apart with Hercules and took a close look at the lens with the Explorer. I cleaned the lens and voila, good to go.
Watched The Dark Crystal for the first time in years. What a classic!

I wanted to post this later, but I'll put in this edit.

They say Ducttape holds the universe together? Well, now I can do my part. I made a Ducttape keychain.
I had to use big tools to file down the square end of the bolt, a large metal saw to cut the bolt down to size and a Dremel tool to drill the hole for the carabiner.
BUT I used the scissors on the Handyman to cut the tape!

The DTKeychain holds roughly 80cm of tape. But I still have to measure how much it hold exactly.
Now all I need is a miniature spray bottle of WD40   :)

Yes I do. Some find it to be bulky, but it really isn't. Don't get me wrong, It's a large SAK.
But it's surprisingly comfortable to handle. I've only recently got SAKs with in-line philips screwdrivers and those things are genius. I greatly prefer them over the back layer philips.

Finally found a use for the hook. Changing the line on my baitcast reel, the line needs to be tied around the spool first. And at some point a pliers or long tweezer or.... The Hook needs to reach down in to feed the line around the spool. The hook was easy and doesn't damage the line.  Perfect ! Sorry about the poor quality tablet pic.

I take the side plate off of mine, put the line through the rod guides/ level wind and then pull it out the side plate area (after removing the spool). I tie it to the spool with an arbor knot and then put the spool back in.

But then you miss out on the hook experience 😉 Not to mention this is a Shimano Bantam Mag  XT from 1990 I bought new and forgot about until this month. The side plates don't pop off, they unscrew . But good idea using the new reels.

Ah! I went from quantum to shimano to Abu Garcia and settled on daiwa. I currently use a daiwa zillion with the TWS system. Upgraded drag, bearings, degreased it itself and used hot sauce lube (I swear by it). It's been amazing. I can cast crappie jigs easily. Don't use brakes and the cast control is tight enough where the spool doesn't have play and that's it. Worth every penny.

Nifty! Used mine in frustration twice back in the day lol. Didn't understand settings and technique then. Love it now. Ordered the Daiwa Fuego yesterday. Budget reel but seems people like 'em  :cheers:

I took it apart and put it back together. Apparently moisture has gotten in and did some damage.

A bit different.....it’s open range up here and I have been having a problem with a big Angus bull (think Mack truck 😛).  He  wanted the old moldy hay around the horse corrals and under the barbed wire fence and wouldn’t take “NO” for an answer.  My problem is that I didn’t want to find him inside the fence in the morning and have to figure out how to get him out.

Ran him off multiple times and he always came back when I left.  Went out to feed the horses about 10:30 PM and there he was, pushing against the fence and he had stretched the bottom wire.  So now I’m desparate.  I was carrying the Wenger Survivor  with the rescue whistle so I took it out and tried a long loud blast with it.  He took off like I had poked him with a pitchfork and hasn’t been back since.  😛

I doubt that Wenger had that in mind when they designed the Survivor, but it sure “rescued” me.   :rofl:

I had provided her with a paint can key to open it but she didn’t see it there so she popped out the flat screwdriver and opened the paint can. Makes me cringe because I expected to find paint in my SAK, but there wasn’t any. She did a clean job.

My roommate has been trying to address our lack of shade in the backyard. And built a frame today just hung up a sheet temporarily to provide some shade. Then Along Came the dust storm... The beams were shaking and I was concerned that the strong winds could blow it apart and end up breaking our glass  patio door.  That's where the SI came in. I cut the sheet down in about 15 seconds... now dealing with no power. I just checked the website and we're one of only 1700 people in this 5 million person Valley with no power :facepalm:

Honestly, I can’t see it replacing my SI or PX as my edc, so I decided not to spend the greenbacks. If someone had one they wanted to loan me for the challenge, I would have considered it. LOL

My friend had just moved into her new apartment and we were hanging out there having some dinner. The seat of one of the old chairs that came with the place fell out as I was sitting in it and threw me on the ground. Upon closer inspection, I discovered three out of the four screws that were supposed to hold the seat in place were turned upside down sitting in the screw holes of the chair the frame uselessly (the fourth screw was just missing). Of course, my friend had no tools yet in her new apartment, but I had my trusty Super Tinker in my pocket! I had to do it in quarter turns because the backside Phillips was impeded by the legs of the chair being so close to the screw holes, but in the end it got the job done and I was able to repair the chair!

I hardly use the back Phillips on my Tinkers at all, only for very light torque plastic assembly's. Had one of my super tinkers damaged once taking the back plate of a pc tower, and it wasn't even that tight...  :-\

Used the Handyman's corkscrew to untie a knot in the branch training architecture of a tree. Well, I did it twice - until I realized I didn't need to redo the work and cut the remaining ties with the blade.

I did use the can opener tip to start the screw! But there was upholstery covering the hole the screw had previously been in so it was impossible to line it up directly into the old hole. As such I was forced to essentially drill a new hole into the relatively soft wood. The extra torque that the backside Phillips provided was essential for the task!

We started our Mont Blanc ascent on August 27th at 1 AM. At some point one of us said that the screw on his flashlight gone loose and he needs to stop and try to fix it. After some examination it turned out he didn’t have anything to tighten the screw, but I had my Forester. In a blink of an eye his really bad stupid flashlight was ready to get back to work.

Sum: buy only the best gear you can afford and carry a SAK

P.S.: we’ve reached the summit successfully and were back at the starting point of the Tête Rousse refuge about 15 hours later

It was very much a Handyman day at work.

I used the saw to create a makeshift watering wand, basically cutting an angle in a length of pipe to fit over the hose, just behind the rose, taped in place. It works!

Also used the same saw and blade to cut a few cm of irrigation pipe to use as a splint over a nasty kink in a hose, taped in place. It'll do until we get new hoses next month.

Oh and I removed a couple of tree branches with the saw, too.

I used the can opener to extract a broken thing whose name I don't know, from an irrigation line. I have to do this every so often and the can opener is the perfect tool for the job.

Sorry I have no pictures of these minor achievements. These sorts of things are so everyday, and just part of work, that I never think to document them with a camera. Besides, I have work to do... :doh:

 Phoenicians are thin-blooded so people start wearing parkas and fur lined boots when it gets into the 60s here.

There were folks walking round in shorts and tee shirts in that temp round here earlier this week  ;) In fact, that's the temp (15C) that my heating thermostat is almost permanently set to.

This weekend saw the two biggest SAKs in my collection getting a chance to stretch their legs.

Saturday morning saw the CT41 help out with dismantling a wire bathroom storage rack and help to assemble a new wooden one to take its place. The can opener screwdriver and the hex bit driver made short work of both projects. The fact that I didn’t have to run to the basement and dig out any tools from my toolbox is the reason the 41 has a permanent home in the kitchen drawer.

Sunday found the Swisschamp answering the call on a few projects. I used the main blade to cut the straps on two boxes containing new bathroom faucets. When I went to use a previously used tube of silicone to seal around the drain on the sink, I noticed it had dried and plugged up the nozzle. I used the main blade to cut the nozzle down a bit, then used the awl start digging out the dried silicone. The fish scaler came out next to push the remaining dried silicone back in to the tube so I could squeeze out the fresh stuff. It cleared the way and I was back in business.

After replacing the faucets,I needed to fix the sun visor on my truck. The internal mechanism that keeps it in either the up or down position had broken and was floating freely, causing the visor to flop down 2/3 of the way. I needed a way to clamp it back down again so I wouldn’t have to hold it up or move it to the side all the time while driving. I used the awl again to scribe a line about an inch long on each side of the sun visor, near the pivot. The I was able to push the awl through the plastic along the line. Next came the backside chisel to clean up the cuts I had just made. I slipped two zip ties through the holes and looped them around and cinched them at the top, pulled them tight with the pliers and cut the excess flush with the main blade again. It took the visor back out to the truck and installed it back up on the driver’s side with the inline phillips.

To top it all off, on my way back in the house I found a dead bumble bee laying on one of the front steps. I immediately pulled out the Swisschamp and removed the tweezers, then flipped open the magnifying lens. I picked up the expired insect with the tweezers and did an up close inspection with the mag lens. I felt like a kid again for a few moments, marveling at the complexity of such a tiny creature, before I found the bee a final resting place in the garden. I think he would have wanted it that way.

Pioneer removes old shipping labels from boxes so the box can be re-used to ship things I sell on the fleabay. It also opens the packages of the new-to-me tools I've bought from there, and helps to remove some of the grease, gunk, etc. that's left on them (mostly old mechanic's tools. They might've cleaned them off once for prosperity's sake, and never again  :rofl: )

Yesterday very early in the morning I had to take my Wife to the emergency room ( don't worry she's ok). In my haste to get out of the house I forgot to grab a SAK with a scissors ( usually a Pocket tool chest). The only tool I had was my OHT. After our visit She asked me to cut off her wrist band which the nurse had put on a bit on the tight side making it hard to get the Trekker blade under to slice it of. The blunt tip of the Trekker made cutting much easier due to the fact that I didn't have to worry about cutting her with a sharp point. This is why I'm a fan of the blunt tip 111mm blade. It's a great safety blade.

I had to replace the battery in my truck this morning, along with one of the terminal connectors on one of the cables. After cutting off the old connector, the pen blade on the SwissChamp cut the insulation off of the wire. Then I used the cap lifter to help strip the insulation off. When it came time to swap the battery, I had a hard time getting the protective cover off the positive terminal. It had a little pull tab, but my sausage fingers couldn't get a grip on it to pull it off. The pliers on the SwissChamp came to the rescue, acting more like aggressive tweezers than small pliers. Within minutes I was back in business and back on the road. The SwissChamp....is there anything it can't do?!

Used the little blade on my Explorer to open up a package. Need to find an easy way to remove those glue residues.

@Serena, I usually just use a little rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and it cleans the blades right up. Just be very careful not to get any on the celidor handles, or touch the handles with fingers that are still wet with alcohol; it will deface them. I have an old Super Tinker that has one of my fingerprints on the scale because it still had a little rubbing alcohol on it when I picked the knife up again. I usually wipe the blades down and let them dry, then go wash my hands to be safe.

Okay, I can be a bit clumsy sometimes. Better let the alcohol sit aside then…

I use alcohol swabs all the time for this purpose, never seen any scale damage.

I ended up having to hand stitch a very large rip in the kids pants, then since I got the thread out I had to fix a cat toy, but I needed something to keep cutting the string, thus a little sak..

That's because it was just quick and soft swipes. I learned my lesson about alcohol and cellidor scales many years ago. The two just don't go together. Given enough exposure, alcohol and similar products will soften the scales causing them to warp, or will even start to dissolve them, literally. That's why when ever i buy a sak at a store that has a price sticker on the scales, i strictly forbid the store assistant to take it out and clean the residue with anything. I once walked away on a buy after a stubborn store lady insisted in cleaning the glue residue with benzine (lighter fluid).
Sak scales are cleaned with one thing, and one thing only: Water and Soap!

Sorry to read that Fred...

For my part I can report a selfless act of seasonal heroics performed by my SwissChamp. Its main blade was instrumental in releasing a reasonably freshly cut Christmas tree from captivity at the hand of several square feet of nylon netting. No pictures survive of this encounter, alas. Hovever, here is a formal picture of the liberated tree after undergoing cosmetic surgery.

I picked up a second hand IKEA Billy bookcase yesterday but it was a few cm too tall to fit in my car. So I had to disassemble it (on the street, in the rain). I brought lots of power tools but the cap lifter on my Traveller (Climber sans key ring and hook) was the best tool for the job :)

It was a 250 km trip for just a stupid bookcase :facepalm:

I picked up a second hand IKEA Billy bookcase yesterday but it was a few cm too tall to fit in my car. So I had to disassemble it (on the street, in the rain). I brought lots of power tools but the cap lifter on my Traveller (Climber sans key ring and hook) was the best tool for the job :)

It was a 250 km trip for just a stupid bookcase :facepalm:
Wot??!

That's quite the distance for a book case :D

Yes I wanted an older model in a non-current color :facepalm:

Oh also, I drove an additional 60 km or so to pick up the doors from a different seller :)

On topic: my 3 year old used a small Tinker to assemble said bookcase.

The two black ones are manufactured by the Spanish company Ardesa. The middle stainless cannon was made by a local gunsmith. All three are 0.69” bore and are shot using black powder and fuse cord. At a guess I would say approximately four pounds in weight.

Seriously! Makes you look funny since your making wacky faces trying to move it, or sticking your tongue out to push it and get it out of the way. I swear these irritating ones grow 10x faster just to get on your nerves, cause since I cut that other one, one more just came out of nowhere!

Well when I moved to Georgia 16 years ago, I lucked out at the Walmart there on an overage stock on the Gerbers...$5.00 in the blister pack  :sa:
So not the one to pass up a good deal...I bought 4 of them. Gifted two to friends at work and then gave one to my son...he kinda laughed, but toook it. Well, why the chuckle then? Then he tells me why...
1. The Gerber opens faster but only for the plyers
2. When both are open, the Rebar allows instant access to the tools. The Gerber doesn’t.
3. The replaceable cutters on the Rebar, the Gerber doesn’t (on this one)
4. The tools open away from you on the Rebar, the Gerber doesn’t and the handle can get in the way.

Ecoline Bantam.

Removed a ton of rug fibers, string, thread, and fishing line from the brush on the vacuum. Seriously, a whole hand full of the stuff!  Turned the coin-slot screws on the bottom with the combo tool, then cut the fibers with the blade.

Then I cut up some boxes. Vic's 440A-type steel really holds an edge!

Thus proving, that while the Bantam is a small and lightweight entry level SAK, it still can still do its fair share of real work.  I can't wait to add a more recent Economy version with nylon scales and scale tools.  This one is so old, it still has the Swiss Federal emblem (I'm thinking late 1980s).

I use it with IKEA battery candles, fits just perfect to operate the cover and pry out the battery.

I used to have a large stone (minerals, crystals, fossils) collection but the thing took up a big place and it was getting harder and harder to keep it dust-free, so it's been given away to a geologist now. These are the ones that remained. Still, I collect, if I come across something interesting here and there...

Tried to use the blade to cut it open and gave up, went straight to blunt force with a sharp heavy duty kitchen knife. The plastic clam-shell on this thing is almost as thick as a credit card....   :facepalm:

I used an old Champion to "push back" a couple of tiny bumps in a wall in preparation for getting painted.
The bumps are tiny specks of dust/sand/whatever trapped underneath the glass fiber based wallpaper (no idea what the correct English word is).
They've been annoying me for two years and it turns out the best tool for the job are cellidor scales. They don't leave any marks or scratches.
Ready for painting (purlpe, it's my daughter's new bedroom).

There are always little tiny pieces that you just cannot grab with your fingers anymore...

Used the pen in my Handyman to make small notes when I didn't have a pen ready.

(https://i.imgur.com/8Q8HNVC.jpg)

Here a picture of the Small Blade. A very nice tool for precision cuts. I keep it sharp for detailed work.
Of course we don't do surgery with this blade. But on the tip of the blade you see an IOL (Intra Ocular Lens).
These are used to replace the natural lens in a cataract surgery. They are really tiny!

To place them they are rolled up in an injector (sort of syringe). When inserted the lens will unfold and the haptics (tiny arms on the lens) will keep the lens in place.

SwissChamp ??  ??? ??? ???

I used the small blade on my Handyman to cut the leather, the pen to draw out the pattern and the awl to poke the holes.
Turned out the awl didn't puncture deep enough to make the holes ready for sewing, so I picked up some awls yesterday, I have to retrace all the holes. But that's okay, it's a fun project to work on.
Or did you mean what the organiser is for? It's for work related stuff that's always in my bag. I carry more to work than just this, but tend to forget the other stuff when I've been away for a couple of days. So this is going to hold my keys, a pen and acces card. Perhaps also a small USB-drive with some software on it.


Talking about projects, I made a fancy packaging for my girlfriends Valentines Day gift this morning. Again used the pen to draw out the pattern and the small balde to cut it. The nail cleaner on the Metalfile was perfect for scoring folding lines. Now, I hope she likes the bracelet...

I continued working on my pocket organiser.
The Vic Awl didn't work, so I bought a set of awls to get the job done.
It was surprisingly hard to get this to work and look nice.
Took about 2 hours to sew it all together.

Right now I can't feel my fingers anymore :rofl:
Pushing the needle through the leather pretty doable, but through four layers of leather a whole different story.

I do like how it turned out. I didn't expect my stuff to fit, so that's a nice surprise.
Next time I'm going to do some leatherwork I'm ordering a leather punch set to make the job easier. Also, I'm going to use waxed cord next time.

To finish the set I added orange 550 cord to the Key-Smart and 110 cord to the USB drive. The USB drive fits in a small pocket on the back.

My office chair died yesterday.

The "Plastic" back broke away from the support.
On closer examination, its really under-engineered, probably designed to fail.

So last night I made a brace and fitted it this morning.
I used the old Victornox Herc phillips head as it was the closest tool.
But I had to use a portable drill to drill the holes and fit the coach bolts into the brace.

If it breaks this time, It simply means I'm way tooooo fat.

Used the pen in my Handyman to make small notes when I didn't have a pen ready.

(https://i.imgur.com/8Q8HNVC.jpg)

Here a picture of the Small Blade. A very nice tool for precision cuts. I keep it sharp for detailed work.
Of course we don't do surgery with this blade. But on the tip of the blade you see an IOL (Intra Ocular Lens).
These are used to replace the natural lens in a cataract surgery. They are really tiny!

To place them they are rolled up in an injector (sort of syringe). When inserted the lens will unfold and the haptics (tiny arms on the lens) will keep the lens in place.

Cool!
Did you clean that IOL before using it on a patient? ;)

I wanted to try bypassing the output fuses on my stereo amplifier. Recently acquired Swisschamp at hand, I used the Phillips SD to remove the screws holding the cover. I then used the pliers to cut a couple of short lengths of small gauge insulated wire. Just the right fit, whew. After stripping insulation off each end with the small blade, I poked the wire into the fuse holders with the toothpick.

Oh, and I dropped one of the pieces of wire into too tight a space for fingers or pliers. I used the tweezers to retrieve it.

I never thought I'd bother with another Swisschamp after the loss of my first one years ago, preferring a Handyman instead. Now I have one that's quickly become daily carry. A pocket toolkit, just about perfect.  :tu:

The mod was well worthwhile, by the way. :)

I have not been that active here lately because of work, carproblems and to top it off the whole family has gone through stomachflu. Started with the first kid last Saturday and now (Friday) I have been good for 48h and can be seen as healthy again.. When cleaning up the toilet I broke the light switch. Probably an original from -85 when the house was built so I had to get a new one

On my SwissTool, I used the chisel to scrape off the old county tax sticker located in the center of the windshield on the Ford Escape. The county went back to  requiring them to be bought annually, and then moved it to the right side of the windshield, following a recent change in the location of Virginia state inspection stickers. Worked well, and it neither scratched the windshield nor put a mark or ding on the chisel. And they say Vic steel is soft. I also picked up a washcloth that had blown off the porch into the driveway with the pliers.

Thanks all :hatsoff:

To be frank, I've got little time for thinking about which tool to pack at the monent - some RL things are getting in the way. Which is why I'm happy to say I've found a tool load that makes it possible to avoid thinking about it too much :D

Only worrying thing is: in a city in one of the other German states they have started designating the main rail station a no-knife area, to do something about some punks terrorising the visitors. Here's me hoping this doesn't catch on where I live, as I often frequent our main station to grab a bite and espresso for lunch...

I was thinking same exactly. We never complain (not much at least), but maybe a thread on SAK/MT observations for lefties? Something like “What’s not right for left handers?”  :dunno:

Simple examples; use any main blade on a SAK and the scale logo faces away from you if you’re left handed. Nail nicks favor holding the SAK in the right hand and using the left thumb nail. Tin openers require awkward hand arrangement to go anti-clockwise if held in the left hand. With scissors, lefties have to look over the top to see the exact cut line.

I guess we adapt quickly and never give these limitations much thought?  :think:

It may sound counter intuitive, but the traditional narrow seats can be more comfortable after some distance compared to the wider seats. But there are so many variables to consider...

But I would switch from the duct tape sooner than later. I have visions of unintentional bikini waxes.  :facepalm:

A few days ago I tied down my fence with a nylon ski-rope to survive a wind storm. Today I used the large flathead on the Cadet to undo a rock-hard knot while removing this rope.

I used the can opener to remove a staple to make copies of some documents.

Later I popped a beer cap with the bottle opener of the Skipper.

Used the inline Phillips driver on my Explorer at work to remove the wall plate and reinstall a data jack that had been pushed in to the wall box. I used to carry a Deluxe Tinker at work, but the inline Phillips on the Explorer made this quick fix so much easier than using the back-side Phillips to get the screw out far enough to finish the job with the can opener Phillips.

Well, yesterday, rather, and to be continued today. I've been using the scissors on the modified Huntsman - these are great for the precise cuts you need to separate the two leads on two-lead electrical wire with a common jacket, especially if each lead is only 0.08 square mm, just prior to de-sleeving for soldering them. Then the small blade on another nearby SAK for assorted precise cutting uses.
The hobby project of choice, which I'm not too sad to admit has kept me away from the forum lately, is the conversion of a Thrustmaster T.16000M PC joystick to include extra functions, which involves adding about 30 leads through the stem and gimbal of said joystick and wiring these to switches and potentiometers grafted onto the stick handle on one end and a USB controller board on the other. No action pics alas, I lack enough hands as it is  :D. The conversion is squarely aimed at making this the ultimate joystick for space simulations - I'm dabbling in Elite: Dangerous these days but the stock options on this type of joystick are too limited IMHO.
If anyone's interested I'll post pics of the finished product (I'm nearly there) as a before and after comparison.

I just finished using a Victorinox Classic to make some paracord zipper pulls.

It was my first time trying it, so the pulls themselves aren't great and I managed to burn a finger. :twak:

At least the scissors did a fine job cutting everything and the nail file worked well as a mini marlin spike.

I spent part of Saturday building a trampoline for my six year old son. I let him use the in-line Phillips driver on the Swiss Champ and I used the one on the Explorer on some self-tapping screws securing the legs to the frame. Then when it came time to attach the mat to the frame with the springs, the Swiss Champ came to the rescue again. The manufacturer included a small tool to use for the springs that had a hook on one end and a small triangular handle on the other. It worked well for the first 2 dozen springs, pulling tension on them to hook them into slots on the frame, but it started to take its toll on my fingers. I couldn’t get three fingers in to the handle and then only up to the first knuckle. Then I remembered the hook on the back spring of the scissors! I used the Swiss Champ as it had more surface area for me to grab on to and it worked like a dream. Way more comfortable to pull those springs out far enough to hook on to the frame. I think I could have built three more trampolines that day and not had any hand fatigue, all by using the Swiss Champ. Some people might look down on the hook as a useless tool to be included on a SAK, but I absolutely love it and tend to steer away from models that don’t have it. I would have included pictures during the build process, but there was an eager six year old waiting to bounce like a kangaroo once it was finished, so I had to hurry.

Great use of the Phillips drivers and hook! :cheers:

I have also found the hook to come in handy.

I am glad to hear that you are letting your son learn how handy a SAK can be. It is something he will end up getting a lifetime of enjoyment from, and times like this will be memories he will cherish forever! :D

Thanks VICMAN! Any time with the little guy and a SAK  is always time well spent. I try to include him each time I need to use a tool on a SAK besides the knife blade and the scissors, so he can see the different functions and he's always willing to learn. Now his first reaction to me needing any kind of small tool is to ask if I need 'the Blue knife', my CT41 with the sapphire scales that I keep in the kitchen drawer. When I feel he's ready I'll let him pick out his first SAK and he can learn the joys of being self-reliant when it comes to fixing things.

Don't you love nail guns?
I work in a Emergency Department at a suburban Melbourne hospital and occasionally we see the odd worker from a local construction site who has presented to us with a nail embedded in a part of their body that they were not intentionally aiming their nail gun at.
In this case a nurse asked me for my Victorinox Spirit XC that she remembered I had used to loosen a I.V line connection a few days ago and having nothing really suitable at hand for this procedure, I guess she must have thought the Spirits needle nose pliers would be perfect for this particular situation.
So the doctor extracted that pesky nail with my Spirit and after a Tetanus shot and script for some antibiotics our patient was sent home feeling much better.  :tu:
P.S The patient was kind enough to let me take photo of the procedure also!

Although nowhere near as exciting as One more SAK's post, I got to save the day, or part of it at least, last night when my wife was cooking dinner. Our can opener decided to quit just as she tried opening a can of tomato sauce and asked for help. After verifying that the can opener was a lost cause, I went to the utility drawer in the kitchen, you know the one where all the odds and ends end up, and grabbed the CT-41 (a.k.a. The Blue Max, on account of the blue sapphire scales) and called my six year old over for a quick lesson. I opened the can opener on the SAK and showed him how to open a can the ‘old fashioned’ way. All of this in about 30 seconds and dinner was back on track. I don’t know about you, but I get excited when I get to use my SAK to fix things. It’s a minor validation for this slight obsession I have!

I prefer suspension carry for my SAKs and trying the Swiss Champ with jeans today. The pockets are more generous so the Champ rides OK, but the pockets are short so the Champ rests partly at the bottom of the pocket.

Chain needs to be shorter. And yes, I could have just moved the split-ring down the chain...but then I’d have no fun.  :facepalm:

Time to deploy the Champ’s super tweezers! But he did need some help from my Charge. The needle nose design made the job a pleasure.  :tu:

Now I know why it’s important to carry multiple tools. Here’s a good example of cooperation.  :salute:

Great use! And that's why nail guns freak me out, even though I use them all the time. We've been using finish nailers modelling house, and I've handled that thing with more caution than a loaded firearm.

On another note, I'm surprised they don't make a big fuss over MTs at the hospital you work at. The two main hospitals here have signs everywhere against carrying a pocketknife, even at the outpatient/doctor's offices run by them. One clinic (which my grandmother's doctor is in) is extra sneaky in that they put the sign "NO WEAPONS OF ANY KIND"  inside the main entrance. I've got to the point that if I'm belt carrying, and waiting on my folks at that doctor, and i have to use the restroom, I just go to the fast food restaurant a mile down the road. At least my doctor, who runs his own office, really doesn't care; whether it be some guy concealed carrying; or me unloading my EDC when I get weighed.

Bathroom cabinet door hinge closing spring broke and the middle door did not close flush.  So instead of buying a new cabinet (like my wife suggested) I bought this magnetic catch and put it on.

(https://i.imgur.com/xv8OdTT.jpg?2)

I had intended to use the Pioneer X exclusively, but I needed the extra reach of the LM Style long driver/file.

(https://i.imgur.com/pqwGD9T.jpg?1)

Here's the magnetic part installed.  That SAK awl is great for making starting holes for screws.

(https://i.imgur.com/pQQ7Zqs.jpg?1)

And here is the opposite part.  I lined it up by placing it on the magnets, painting it with a Sharpie, and closing the door --- this left a mark on the door for me so I knew where to use the SAK awl to drill my starting holes.

I still have one magnetic catch left, so if anyone wants a cabinet door fixed, PM me   ;)

And, considering what I saved by not having to buy a new cabinet, I wonder if I can convince my wife that the money should go toward a new MT?  ::)

I used my Outrider's cap lifter to pry the old 120V power outlet cover off the center console of the Ford Escape, and replace it with a new one; which snapped right on. Why should I have to go to the dealer for such a trivial task?  The only thing I did was cause a few small tool marks on the plastic of the console; but the new cover hid most of those.

Being as it was just a small trim piece, I would assume it would not. And I don't think anyone will notice what I did.  There was nothing electrical even connected to it--basically it was the automotive equivalent of a switch plate cover. But I did delay putting it in for 3 months, in part because of that. As, I figured if they messed up, it would be on them to fix their mistake. If I goofed up, it was all on me.  But I was waiting on my folks to get their hair cut, and had absolutely nothing better to do, so I just put the part on while I was waiting.  And the Ford dealer the car came from is a half-hour away, wasted trip for just a small trim piece that isn't really a problem other than looking bad broken.

As of this morning, I've already used my SwissChamp for the following:

Worked on some wall trim that wasn't quite cut to fit near a drawer. It had to be cut out to allow the kitchen cabinet drawer drawer to clear it, but not enough. I've been cutting a lot of it away, but used the chisel this time. I was surprised at how well it worked, especially on a 20 year old secondhand SwissChamp.
Used the saw to cut some notches into the deflector of the riding lawnmower deck. My grandfather likes to keep it up; and uses two rubber tie-downs to do so, but it slips off. I'd put two in the left side last season, but needed to put some on the right today.
Cut weed eater string with the scissors.
Sharpened the ends of the line with the pen blade. The head I put on my FS38 is a quick-load one, and according to the service rep, sharpening the ends makes them slot inside to lock into place better before spooling it inside the weed eater.

Visiting a relative in the hospital, I had a minor problem. The  piece that clamps the ends together on my Lock Laces I have on my sneakers  had come loose (again). That would have been no match for the SwissChamp, which due to the hospital's "No Weapons" policy, I'd left in the car. So, out came the backup checkbook-bound SwissCard (which is bladeless because I took the blade out). I snipped the laces to equal lengths at the ends with the scissors, (eventually, after 5 minutes) had used the nail file to pry the clamp apart, I stuck the laces inside it, then snapped it back together.

The SwissCard works ,but I'd much prefer my Style PS (which I misplaced) for a bladeless carry when there are no searches or metal detectors.

Thanks for all of your replies people and more so from you cody6268.


I have been carrying a SAK as my EDC in our Emergency Department for 30 years now and fortunately I have never been given any real grief by those in charge, so I have been lucky I guess.
My first EDC was a Victorinox Scientist which I bought in 1990 and I carried that till the year 2000 until I lost it courtesy of a hole in my pocket and I was even more annoyed later on when I found out that it was a very collectable SAK. That started off my interest in swiss army knives and I have managed to obtain several of them over the last 15 years or so.
 I really hate it when I lose pocket knives and that started in the early 1970's when as a young boy and I managed to lose 3 pocket knives in the space of 3 years, all on my birthdays when I received them as presents. They were nothing special, just Richard's brand pocket knives that were made in the UK and were a cheap mass produced knife,but for me at the time they were the best gift you could ever receive as a boy because you felt almost like a adult to have the responsibility of carrying a pocket knife.
The Scientist was a favourite of mine, though I prefer the Victorinox Compact I replaced it with as my EDC today, because of those very useful scissors. I do have a mint Victorinox Yeoman in it's box with the original papers and that has the best of both worlds in regards to both the Scientist and the Compact's tools, but my Yeoman is too rare and valuable to be used as a EDC and so it is a shelf queen, as I would hate to damage it through every day wear and tear or even lose it.
In regards to my Victorinox Spirit XC, I find it a bit too heavy to carry in it's leather case on my belt so I keep it in my work locker in my backpack and I very rarely use it as I did when that nurse requested it for a doctor to remove that nail from the hand of a patient.
The other problem is that it has that locking blade and other tools (it's a serrated "butter knife", but..) and here in Melbourne Victoria that is a big no, no in regards to the law. The irony is that I mostly use that blade for cutting a crusty bread roll or steak at work and little else - it's brilliant as a dinner knife! LOL.
Its funny also that we have police officers and even the odd detective in our Emergency Department on most days, either escorting "psych patients" and car accident patients in or guarding a someone that is under arrest or when we have a code black (a violent internal situation) in progress. Thankfully I have never been pulled up by the cops over my SAK and that might be because I keep it on me discretely and securely attached to a leather lanyard on my belt which disappears deep into my pocket.

I also have a photo to show everyone of my small collection of Swiss Army Knives and those red alox "old cross" ones are my favourites.

Some great info there, thanks OMS.  :like:

I’ve thought before about deconstructing an old Swiss Champ and using the Phillips/magnifier layer to make a Yeoman from a Compact. I believe this is a common mod.

On my Outrider:

Blade a bunch of cutting stuff.

Saw, used it to cut a dead tree branch so I could roll up some electric fencing wire we often use as a measuring tool.

OC Pioneer:

Blade: Cut some Vet-Wrap (self-adhesive bandage) to brace an ankle I twisted. Vet Wrap is basically the SAK of bandages--it's incredibly versatile and inexpensive. It's no different than some stuff they sell at pharmacies, but a lot cheaper--and in brighter colors and bigger sizes. I also prefer it to bandage tape for securing gauze pads and the like.

   Last night I used the can opener on my CT41 to open some clam shell packaging, pulling it like a draw-knife until I could extract the item trapped inside. I could've used one of the two blades to open it, but I was curious to see if it would work without sharpening the back side of the can opener.
   This morning I was thinking about the new MiniChamp I got in the mail yesterday and what I could use the cut and picker blade for. I wondered if I could use the unique blade design on it to act as a wire cutter/stripper. I’ve used the wire stripper on the cap lifter of my Explorer along with the main blade to strip larger wires, but wanted to see if this little powerhouse was up to the task. I got to work and found an old piece of Cat-5 cable, opened the cut and picker blade slightly and trapped the cable underneath it. Then, with a little bit of pressure on the top of the blade, I spun the MiniChamp backwards towards the knife pivot a few times. I opened the blade all the way and pulled on the end of the cable and the casing slid right off, exposing the four twisted pairs inside, unscathed. I might just have to add the MC to my work carry.

On my very first day of carrying my mint red OC Farmer, a coworker need help opening a can of peaches at work. It must be fate because I don't think I've needed to open a can in years. I was more than happy to oblige, especially since the Vic style can opener is the only one I can manage to use without spending an hour fiddling and cutting myself. The job took seconds.

My Farmer's first knife duty was to cut the paracord I needed to give it a proper fob.

It's been a good day thus far.

   This morning I was thinking about the new MiniChamp I got in the mail yesterday and what I could use the cut and picker blade for.


Congratulations on the new MiniChamp Kraken! :cheers:

The Victorinox  Minichamp is an amazing little knife. Both blades will take a shaving sharp edge and are big enough to cut open cardboard boxes or to cut the flaps off of boxes. They are also good for opening envelopes. If you get a small pocket steel, you can keep the edges sharp by touching them up regularly. The pocket steel just realligns the edges without removing any metal.

The cut and picker blade (also called the orange peeler) will cut open clamshell packaging very easily, and also peel oranges. Just hook the point on the under side of the tip in the plastic and pull the peeler toward you and it will zip right through the plastic.

The cuticle pusher also serves as a screwdriver, or can be opened to extend the handle when you are using either of the knife blades. scissors,or the orange peeler. It can also be used for light prying.

The nail file comes in handy and the tip of it can also be used on phillips screws that are too big for the
smaller magnetized phillips screwdriver on the bottle opener tip.

The small magnetized phillips screwdriver is great for removing the small phillips screws on doors to battery compartments on handheld electronic devices.

The scissors are great for cutting out coupons or clipping loose threads on clothing.

There is also a small ruler with w screwdriver tip on it.

The Minichamp is so small you don't even know you are carrying it, but it is there when you need it.

I always have my alox MiniChamp in my pocket. :D

Thinking StayGlow on mine. If only the scales weren't so hard to find, and when you did, it cost as much as the knife. All the used StayGlow knives I see have the logo worn, if not completely off. And besides, if it's a Climber (as with most) I might as well leave it as-is.

Used my Outrider scissors this morning to cut away a payment stub from a bill. It was perforated, but they never tear right. I could have paid it online, but the way the local hospital website is setup is a disaster. It took me less time to write a check, slap it in the envelope, write my return address on it, and get it ready to put in the mail than it did to input all the information online.

...sometimes newer is not always better.  :salute:

I haven’t used a cheque book in 15+ years. There was so much cheque fraud (altered text) that retailers stopped accepting them. Still used by some businesses and you can get a ‘bank guaranteed’ check issued by a branch, but in South Africa, cash is still used 80% of the time, followed by card, EFT, online, etc.

The last week of carrying the Warthog SwissChamp has been quite eye opening. I've actually used many of the tools, without looking for reasons.

1. The small screwdriver on the can opener adjusted the front derailleur on my bicycle. Actually, I use this same tool to adjust many of the screws on my bicycle. It's perfect for vintage bikes.
2. Used the large inline Phillips screwdriver, in the right angle configuration, to tighten down the screws on some hose clamps, and used it in straight mode to attach the base for a new TV.
3. The scissors opened bags of candy for the entire family while watching Dark Phoenix at the movie theater.
4. The large blade opened a few large cartons, cut down a few boxes for the recycle bin, and cut paracord for projects. Tons of other stuff too.
5. Used the file to file down my big toe's nail to relieve some pain while I was cycling a metric century over the weekend.
6. The ruler came in handy to measure the distance between lines on some printer reports I was designing at work.
7. The magnifier and tweezers helped pull an ingrown hair out of my thigh.
8. The Power Combo of the Century, the magnifier and removable eyeglass screwdriver, tightened the bows on my spectacles.
9. Used the pliers to pull staples out of a cardboard box while I unpacked a new television.
10. I took a tip from Victorinox, and used the package hook to pull my bike's chain down while I reinstalled the rear wheel. No grease on my hands!!!
11. Multiple bottles of my favorite IPA were opened with the cap lifter.
12. Used the cap lifter's flathead screwdriver as a quick DIY tire lever while fixing a flat.
13. The wood saw cut a length of stick that I used to move the hot coals around in my Weber grill.
14. Used the hook disgorger to stab the last bobbing pickle out of the pickle jar.

All in all, I'm now wondering how I ever lived without the SwissChamp. I really, really love this knife. It perfectly suits my lifestyle, and has provided me with creative options that I never would have been offered by a Leatherman style multitool. It's very much a lifestyle type of tool. The magnifier and Phillips driver layer has proven especially useful. Handy enough that I pulled the trigger on a new Vic Explorer order last night, for days when the SwissChamp may be too bulky to carry. But it would honestly be tough for me to size down at this point, as pretty much every layer of the SwissChamp has demonstrated its value.

I snapped a few pics along the way:

Used my Serrated Spartan to cut away some thistles from the area around the mailbox. The lady who lived on the property where the mailboxes for the 4-5 houses around me are located passed away a few years ago, and her son really isn't doing much--he probably mows and weed eats the place once a month.  I had ignored those thistles and the other tall weeds, thinking it would be cleaned up eventually, but today my OCD got the best of me--that serrated main blade went through those inch thick thistles like a laser beam!

Those are great knives. I bought my grandmother a serrated one at a local store, and it's been used a lot, and is now beat to heck. I need to get about 5-6 more of them.

I spent the weekend at our cabin in the mountains, getting it all ready for summer. First project was to hang a cool bottle opener on the front porch.


Use the awl to create a hole for the mounting screw.

Drive the the screw into a porch beam.

And the bottle opener is hung.

It's pretty cool. Made from an antique wooden level, with a vintage bottle opener and bucket to catch the caps.

Time to open a new gallon water jug.

Use the awl to create a hole in the top of the jug, so air can escape.

Cut the plastic tab so the dispenser can be pulled open.

I sent back a flashlight that I didn't like and I taped the envelope with a wide tape.
The transparent adhesive tape got jammed and I couldn't lift the edge of the tape, I had to use the Walker.
A knife with a larger blade like the Mora or Hultafors would not have been able to lift such a thin ribbon.

I don't know if it counts as a SAK, but I've been using my Swisstool a lot recently, e.g. sawing the door frames a bit and filing them after placing new floor tiles on top of the old ones, using the awl to make pilot holes for screws in the door after shortening it quite a bit, and using the pliers to loosen some nuts here and there (I know some of you will grind your teeth at this...)

On a side note, the guy that layed the tiles used a pair of pincers and a bent nail to remove the cross-shaped separators, and after showing him the hook on my SAK he told me that he might consider buying one. That goes to show that the hook is not that useless after all, depending on what you do, haha.

Was bored, whittled myself a pipe tamper out of some left over building timber. Used a Vic Camper to saw the wood and do the rough work and a Vic Floral for all the rest. The Floral is a great hobby knife! I then sanded it down and applied two coats of Linseed Oil. Looking forward to using it, fed up of falling back on using a key to tamp when I'm having a pipe at home cause I left my pipe pouch with tamper in the car.

   We just got back from 5 days in the mountains and before we even got in the car, the hook on my Explorer was called in to action. The cheap rubberized pull tabs for the zippers on the roof top cargo bag broke when I was trying to zip them up. As it was raining, I couldn’t get a good grip on the zippers to close it up. I used the hook on a small opening on both zippers and got them closed in no time. The mini screwdriver on the Explorer was used to unscrew the key fob for my wife’s car so I could replace the battery on it. The cut and picker blade on the MiniChamp opened the battery package and the cuticle pusher helped extract the old battery. I used the saw on the SwissChamp to cut a tree limb down to size to make a walking stick for my son before we took a walk from the cabin down to the creek to explore. And the bottle opener helped open a few beers at the end of the day...and maybe at lunch.

I had to change manifolds on two Phantom pool cleaners today. Clipped my Swisschamp to my belt loop with an s-biner and it performed admirably, opening a bunch of Phillips-heads. And prying apart the front end of a casing when a wheel didn't want to align and I didn't feel like reopening all the screws...

Used my SwissChamp to fix a 100 foot measuring tape that got jammed up. I got some of the mess fixed using the fish scaler to poke it through. I then used the tiny screwdriver on an el-cheapo I didn't care about to undo the spanner nut on the back to remove the spooling mechanism and crank. Then, I continued to use the fish scaler to undo jams, then finally, pulled the entire 100 feet out.  I then used the pliers to reposition the end of the tape so that the crank/spooling mechanism could be reattached.   Then, went out in the yard; with my grandmother holding the end of the tape, and spooled the whole thing back in under tension.

In the woods today, fixing the spring; with a permanent repair, the guy was trying to use a utility knife to cut 1-inch plastic tubing. Figured that was an accident waiting to happen, I handed him my Outrider to cut the tubing. He was impressed at how quickly its saw went through the pipe.

Then, I went to get the scraper I kept in my truck to scrape some goo (melted candy, I think) off the floor ,and noticed the utility knife I'd bought with it had no blade loaded in it. Turns out, they were secured inside the handle; so I used the can opener and later the bottle opener to take it apart.

Staying home today to look after the kids... The small one is kinda under the weather...

The digital thermometer will be the most used tool today and noticed that the settings are kinda weird... it is supposed to set off a sound when readings are high... turns out its in mute mode... plus the readings are in Farenheit... We use Celcius in this part of the world...

Couldn’t find the instruction manual... Rather than waste time searching, just took out the custom minichamp to open the battery lid and gently pry the butten cell to reset... Now its back to default...

Then with the aid of the magnifier and the corkscrew screwdriver, I was able to loosen the teeny tiny flathead screw on the battery cover, and change out the battery.

I used the SwissTank this morning, to change the battery on my newly acquired Victorinox pockesmurfch...

Yep! The can opener isn't just a cryptoPhillips! I was going to buy a Vic Watchmaker until I found that the "tooth" of the opener worked nearly the same. Takes off the back of a watch, the scales of a SAK, the frame of a Phantom pool cleaner bag [allowing you to fix a "destroyed" mesh bag that's come loose from its "unfixable" frame]...

More pool maintenance...

I used my Pioneer to remove/change a 100W spa light. Turned out it was wasted effort because the fixture was broken, rackum frackum, but still. Took the holding screw out of the wall and loosened the bolt on the compression ring with that sweet, sweet can-opener.

Staying home today to look after the kids... The small one is kinda under the weather...

The digital thermometer will be the most used tool today and noticed that the settings are kinda weird... it is supposed to set off a sound when readings are high... turns out its in mute mode... plus the readings are in Farenheit... We use Celcius in this part of the world...

Couldn’t find the instruction manual... Rather than waste time searching, just took out the custom minichamp to open the battery lid and gently pry the butten cell to reset... Now its back to default...

And Omron's a Japanese brand. You'd think stuff sold in your neck of the woods would be in Celsius. Kinda like the time I screwed up the Jeep as a kid. The odometer was in kilometers and the thermometer in Celsius. MPG was in L/10Km; when it was supposed to be Miles/Fahrenheit/MPG.

It is not by Zippo.  It is a Vector Thunderbird butane insert that can be purchased separately and fits any standard Zippo.  I have both the single torch and soft flame ones.  I really like them because you don’t have the evaporation issues like the regular Zippo and the torch is better for paracord, but I can use them in my Zippos that I really like.

I have a Wind-Gard  (1980s; made in Korea) Zippo knockoff; which is etched with advertising for grandfather's then employer (and looks pretty cool with a big mining shovel on it). I'm wondering if I could use that insert in it? I tested it with my standard "Street Chrome" Zippo, and it will fit a Zippo insert; even though both the factory insert, and the Zippo insert in the lighter fit tight (probably got damaged somehow at one point in its lifetime).

Agree, I love the idea when I learned about it.  I have several Zippos that I love and can just swap the inserts between whichever I want to use.

If the regular Zippo insert fits tightly then I would expect this would fit the same.way.

Well, I guess one would want to show of those models more anyway. At least to casual observers, I've got a few models neat for a collector, but a rare version of scissors isn't really something with wow-factor to just anyone.

Nice job fullbreakfast. The SAK is the perfect tool for those that think outside the box, or in this case, the can.

Completely agree.  It makes people want to figure out how to use it for as much as they can.  They bring out the MacGyver in all of us.

Autumn is here and today it was time to deflate the little paddling pool.  SAK pliers are good for pulling out the valves:

These days the valves on these inflatables are all self-sealing, which means to deflate them you need to push in the inner closure whilst squeezing the air out. SAK pen works well for this:

I must apologise for the state of those pliers. I clean my tools when I get them dirty, but there are other people in this house who use my SAKs and are not so scrupulous...

The SwissChamp truly is a wonderful knife. I had to do some bathroom plumbing this morning, replacing rotted out brass pipes under the sink. I used the main blade to open packages and cut the tip off a tube of putty. Scissors cut lengths of plumbers tape. The ruler measured some plastic pipe. The wood saw cut the pipe after measuring. The tiny flathead on the backside of the knife cleaned gunk out of some pipe threads. The pliers pulled small chunks of plumbers tape and old putty out of some tight spots. The Phillips screwdriver reinstalled the tap hardware. I even used the cap lifter’s flathead screwdriver tip to pop the top off of a can of denatured alcohol. It was a full tool effort, and so incredibly convenient to have at hand.

No pics on this one as I needed both hands to do the job, but I used the inline Philips driver on my Explorer to loosen a screw on a spring loaded hinge bracket on one of our high volume printers. There wasn't enough room to open it fully, so I had it locked at the 90 deg. position until I could swap it out for the small flat head driver on the MiniChamp that I also carry with me at work to finish the job. It was a team effort and I was able to get it back up and running without having to wait for the service technician to pay us a call.

So my uncle dropped of his old jonsered saw for me to fix up. Needless to say the fieldmaster pulled some sak time! Big blade to chamfer the new fuel hose to make a coned fit. Hook to pull the shutoff wire through and scissors to cut the hose once fitted. My uncle bought this saw new in 1970 and it still, to this day, augers the wood chips! Fuel filter with new hose got her back up and running.

Also, I had to grab a lowly needle nose to pull the fuel hose into the reservoir. Maybe I need my own Swiss Tank! (Shout out to Buzz’s Tank)

Two uses so far this morning.

One of the little hooks on my wife's bra got bent in the wash, so I used the SwissTank's pliers to bent it back into the proper shape.

Then I used the tip of the fish scaler as a staple remover, to help break down some cardboard boxes at work. The fish scaler is actually a really, really good large staple remover.

It's surprisingly useful to be able to write in whatever situation, last week I was moving my sister and having a pen always on the ready proved invaluable in keeping things organised.

Great uses of the CyberTool r1nzler and Gath!  :cheers: I keep my CT41 in the kitchen drawer where all the odds and ends seem to accumulate. It comes in very handy for all of the tiny screws for the multitude of electronics and battery compartments. And of course I can never find a pen in that drawer, so the pen from the plus scales comes in handy often.

This week has seen my MiniChamp helping out at work by using the cuticle pusher to disconnect a network cable from a device where there was barely enough room to get my finger in, so I didn't have to walk back to the shop just for a screwdriver to open the housing. I used the small Phillips driver on the combo tool to screw down a USB hub in a work cart. I pair this with an Explorer at work and feel pretty confident I can handle 90% of what I encounter with this SAK team.

I used the saw on the SwissChamp today to cut a wooden pole. We used that pole to stack some clay pots on top of each other as a towering flower garden. Looked something like this:

(https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkitchenfunwithmy3sons.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F03%2Fthe-best-diy-garden-ideas-and-outdoor-yard-projects-3.jpg&sp=d9e3bb4eaa82b984b51c242c251b4b2c&anticache=270237)

We cleaned it up today and I was working to remove the pots from the pole, so we could freshen up the paint, and use them again next year. What I had not taken into account, was that the wooden pole had expanded quite a bit after a summer of watering the flowers. So I could not just pull off the pots. Using the SAK saw I cut off the pole pretty close to the pots, and could now slide them off easily.

This is because it kept filling with water and my soap kept becoming  a sloppy mess. Now it drains nicely.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190914/a424c6dd9250b4abf332f375622022d4.jpg)

Nice pics, everyone. And awesome find, r1nzler. Love that orange Spartan. Yesterday I found a small clump of late-season chicken mushrooms (last year on the same tree it was a HUGE clump, but I only saw it after kids had kicked the living crap out of it.  :rant:).

It's pool closing season, and today one of the pools I had to close had an infuriating problem. The homeowners had their deck refinished and sealed this year, and the contractors that did that must have spread sand around and swept it to fill in all the cracks. Problem is, the sand also filled up the holes in the pop-ups all around the pool. So when they sprayed sealer all over the deck...it basically glued the holes used to screw/unscrew the pop-ups shut.

Inline awl to the rescue. It was still a major time suck, and hell on the lower back and knees, but I was able to dig out the plugs of sand/sealer and get my pop-up tool in there. Of course there was still the problem of sealer being all over something that's meant to be unscrewed... It's rather like every single pop -up got a couple of drops of Loctite. But having my Pioneer handy definitely made the afternoon go a little faster.

Continuing on with champion, cut hoses, spread cotter pins really same things my Fieldmaster did, but I did something new. I got to use the file tip to clean up the contacts on a distributor. That was nice I could save a trip. Size isn’t to bad either.

Used the hook to get a bit of extra purchase, and it yanked the chain right out, no problem. Also used the scissors. And who knows what else today. It's just the afternoon.

I wanted to write down the item numbers and locations of a handful of items instead of taking a picture on my phone for each one.

I have had to do that with my Swisschamp's pliers a number of times with my paper shredder. :facepalm:

I used a Swisschamp to open up my Yamaha receiver in order to diagnose a problem.

The culprit turned out to be the DTS chip that was borked. A common problem with several receivers from different brands... A replacement PCB would set me back a whopping €400 :(
I just bought an entry level Denon receiver instead.

I disassembled my clothes dryer with the Swisstank yesterday, so I could replace the heating element; and had to pull a door off its hinges to get the dryer to a spot where I could work on it. The SwissTank's Phillips head screwdriver was a rock star throughout the operation.

I've been back and forth from home to camp on the weekends, getting our summer home ready for winter. The SwissTank's small pliers have proven invaluable for removing the plugs from all of the pool inflatables.

Yesterday found my family and I tailgating for the last game of the season for our hometown baseball team. Our friends brought a lime for their Mexican-style lager, but forgot to cut it up before they left. She asked if I had a knife, to which my son replied, 'Of course he does! He always has a knife with him!' and then ran to the glove box to retrieve the SwissChamp from my wife's car. After making quick work of the lime, I used the main blade again to cut up our foot long sandwiches in to something a bit more manageable. Just another day in the life of a SwissChamp.

got a huge shipment of clothes in (half courtesy of my uniform allowance at work) and tags needed a clippin! 4 work shirts, 1 hoodie and 4 carhartt shirts, 2 carhartt pants.

Broke out my ol gal of a SwissChamp. first time using these scissor and I am impressed. On par with the LM Surge scissors and better than the regular LM scissors. Also, huge difference between the classic and these. Not a fair comparison, however just my thoughts. The classic scissors are very good in their own right.

I guess that as Victorinox have been making scissors for 100+ years, they’ve had some time to get them right.  :hatsoff:

They probably rank as the #1 most popular tool on a SAK, even ahead of the blades.

Not exactly...the round “cells” are not joined together, so when you open it you can just squeeze them out like they were little eggs. The juice inside them was a bit less sour than a regular lime and with a particular flavour. Would be good to sprinkle these on a very sweet dessert if you wanted to give it a bit of contrasting sharpness.

Tough question but I think the Fieldmaster has all I need/want. It has come to do all tasks I’ve brought in front of it except one, can it successfully field dress a deer.
I should add, in doing my “extensive testing”, I can use the tweezers as a mini SD for glasses. Another plus.

Yup! :tu:
I use the small blade to start a cut. I've pushed the cork clear into the bottle once without doing this first :rofl: :facepalm:), then work the can opener in, hold and rotate to crack the seal. Then the SAK is pivoted 90 and I start working it out in a twisting motioned once the cork is at a certain exposed length it will try and split. That's when I pinch the cork together with my thumb and finger and keep twisting until it is able to be pulled out. This isn't the most ideal way of opening the bottle and it takes patience but I wanted to see if it was doable so I might be able to join the SAKMC some day! :rofl:

Outdoor alarm beam gave an error during a thunderstorm last night. Turns out the top screw area is cracked so letting in water.
Cut and shaped a bit of plastic from a dry pen lid and used some quickset epoxy to seal it again from the inside to not clog the screw access.
Should be good again. Thanks to Spirit for helping out.  :salute:

It was a good day out in the woods. My friends used the Fieldmasters' wood saw on clearing undergrowth and branches, big blade to cut camo netting and tweezers on splinters! I, on the other hand, used it on nothing. :facepalm:

I see you got the custom scales from Etsy. How are you liking them? Are they holding up? Liked the different color combinations they offer, but wasn’t sure how good they would be.

I see you got the custom scales from Etsy. How are you liking them? Are they holding up? Liked the different color combinations they offer, but wasn’t sure how good they would be.

The scales are OK.  They have the 3D printed graining on them, so if you want smooth scales they may not be for you.  The scales press-fit on and feel secure --- I've fitted them twice and each time they clip on.  There's a small air gap on one side where the middle pivot hasn't engaged fully with the middle of the scale as far as I can see, but it's barely noticeable.  I had the supplier flip the top side scale to print the mirror image, so I have full scales (no cut out) for both sides --- this is a modded SAK (
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,83199.0.html )with no corkscrew.  I gouged out a channel on the flipped scale so I could put in the pen tool.  :D  Plus scales! Currently this SAK is my EDC for work and weekend days.  So I'll see how well the scales do as I give it more pocket time.

I used my climber to modify my personal fan that I keep in a cubby under my computer. The way the switch is makes it kinda hard to turn on or off since I have to reach into the cubby and feel my way to find the recessed switch and then grip it with my index and thumb and turn it.

I used the flathead screwdriver to pop the switch off...

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191210/74fd3c06957ca3bf9b4519b5f0ed381a.jpg)

... then used the awl to make a pilot hole...

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191210/7ca0f8abc6eb57b0e373fe31c55ad129.jpg)

***Side Note*** Is it just me, or is the awl on these models just terrible compared to the ones on the Alox ones? I love using the awl on my Pioneers, but I dread using the ones on my climbers. Am I doing something wrong? Every time I use it it wants to collapse. Anywho...

... then I used the can opener with the Phillips tip to install a screw...

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191210/ded75d6157e4ec7e3713de7907e6f07b.jpg)

... and voila! Now I can easily flick the switch with my finger! More leverage, and no twisting involved!

Since I started using the Alox awl quite often, I sorta backtracked and started using the one on the 91mm models for similar things if I had one with me.  I basically use the Alox awl for anything that could otherwise be done with the point of the blade.  I'd say maybe the 91mm backspring awl is not as versatile as the Alox awl - not as simple to use for things it's not meant for (prying, splitting, opening, etc).  But it's just great for putting holes in wood and leather... sometimes better because it comes to a point rather than a bit of a claw.

Just my thoughts.

Yesterday at my store I had to swap out the sidecap displays, and my Alox Soldier got plenty of use.  First, I needed the main screwdriver to loosen the screws holding the old display to the shelving frames. Next, I used the small screwdriver as a wrench to loosen the finger-bolts on the new display so i could switch sides on it. Finally, I punched some extra holes with the awl to attach some zip-ties to stabilize the whole thing on the shelves.

Later, when I got home, the mail included my birth year Alox Soldier, fresh from Switzerland. Great shape, if dirty.

Here’s one... Not today, but yesterday at work. I was uh... going #2 and was done, and of course the roll was finished. And it’s in one of those metal dispensers that you slide a door on the bottom to dispense the second roll so ok, cool, I do that and thankfully I can feel that there is indeed a second roll in there. Well, the jerks that remodeled our bathrooms made that stall wall really close to the toilet, and the dispenser is mounted to it so it’s right up against my leg. They also mounted it really low, like if I’m getting paper I’m pretty much waving at whoever is in the stall next to me. So it’s awkward getting paper as it is, then you know how with new rolls you have to find the tag end and pull it to get it going? Well... I couldn’t find it. I tried and tried, and just couldn’t. I started getting desperate. I was tearing at the roll with no success and I had no idea what I was going to do.

Enter the Climber.

I got the bright idea to use the small blade to just cut across the roll and then pull at the separated layer and it worked! I got that roll going and was able to leave that stall nice and clean! SAK saves the day!

No picture of the incident for obvious reasons, but here is the blade that saved the day!

And it’s in one of those metal dispensers that you slide a door on the bottom to dispense the second roll so ok, cool, I do that and thankfully I can feel that there is indeed a second roll in there. Well, the jerks that remodeled our bathrooms made that stall wall really close to the toilet, and the dispenser is mounted to it so it’s right up against my leg. They also mounted it really low, like if I’m getting paper I’m pretty much waving at whoever is in the stall next to me. So it’s awkward getting paper as it is, then you know how with new rolls you have to find the tag end and pull it to get it going? Well... I couldn’t find it. I tried and tried, and just couldn’t. I started getting desperate. I was tearing at the roll with no success and I had no idea what I was going to do.

Enter the Climber.

I got the bright idea to use the small blade to just cut across the roll and then pull at the separated layer and it worked! I got that roll going and was able to leave that stall nice and clean! SAK saves the day!

No picture of the incident for obvious reasons, but here is the blade that saved the day!

Look them up there called Metal earth by fascinations, they have all sorts of things, some things they’ve stopped making but you can find them all over, and there’s other imitation company’s that make similar items, I like them no paint, unfortunately no glue, but you gotta bend and form something absolutely flat into something 3d with parts, all the parts connect with a flat piece that slide into a opening then it gets bent or twisted to lock it on the other side, that’s the tricky part, if just one or two fine, but when one piece has like five or more that you have to line up, err and there’s no room for play, to top it off, the metal isn’t thick so the more you bend it the weaker it gets and will fall apart, like I said tricky! And very small, only 3-4” so one of those magnified lights or glasses even with good eyesight..
JR

Here’s a crappy pic of the ones I’ve done, I put the sak up just to give you an idea of size,

Used the scissors on my Explorer to push-cut through some wrapping paper for holiday gifts for my son's teachers. My wife gave me a look from her wrapping as if to say, 'Why are you using those instead of regular scissors?', to which I raised an eyebrow to say, 'Because I can, that's why'. She shook her head and we continued wrapping.

Cats have been annihilating this rope I put up to protect the corner of the couch, I guess it wasn’t the best stuff, so I looked around and found some better stuff and had the kid drive me to the store to pick up a roll and a board to make a little something, only problem is the side of the couch has no wood only the front, so I had to figure out how to cover the side a little back cause they were now going after that, and well, I needed the PioneerX to do some rope cutting after getting the wood cut, I give you, the cat scratch corner, nice thing is I can just unscrew it and re-rap it if it gets bad,,

I had an itch between my shoulder blades that I needed to scratch , but I couldn't reach it with my fingers. The bottle opener on the Explorer was able to provide me with the reach I needed to get the job done. Moments later, the main blade was used to cut my sandwich in half so that I could consume it in a more civilized manner, which I'll admit, is new for me.

Hey, when we bought our house and had to move, all our stuff was packed so that pocket sak came in VERY HANDY, whether for food, tape, or other problems! Thus why it’s an everyday knife! And at the time it was a Farmer, but I really didn’t need the saw but liked having something extra, and when they came out with the PioneerX, with the scissors it made it even better!!

Here’s a not to interesting use,
One of the cats got sick last night and left us a surprise, only thing is every time you take a napkin or paper towel to it the slightest amount of pressure pushes it into the carpet, thus making it stain,
So, took the sak’s blade and pressed the carpet down, snuck under and lifted piece by piece up, low and be hold no stains,
Then of course cleaned the sak and took something to scrub the floor,

OK, here are the rules for this post: no questions allowed!   :whistle:

Without obvious explanation or rational cause some chewing gum magically appeared encrusted in the sleve of my sweater:

(https://i.imgur.com/ES1udEr.jpg)



I threw a few securing stitches into the sweater ('jumper' if you are a provincial English sort) with some yarn that Mrs Nix had on hand--a shockingly good match. Then I used my Victorinox Classic to cut the offending bubble gum out of the sweater.....

(https://i.imgur.com/lcq8E7K.jpg)



At that point I used said yarn to darn up the resultant hole in me sleeve......

Yeah, so it's not a perfect result. But, as a shiftless, somewhat lazy man, this is not a problem. And I don't have a wodge of chewing gum in me sleeve. 

I call that a result. So piss off.

Agree - maybe its good for ultralight backpacking.  Otherwise, 4 cutting tools and a cuticle pusher isn't an EDC for me - it sits on the shelf.  I wish they would come up with something more creative to call what I think is a pharmacist spatula. Why it's on there... I don't know.

Retrieving a sewing pin from the bottom of a cluttered box using the magnetic Phillips (pin was to place in my new Sportsman’s scale)

Cutting sewing thread with the scissors (thanks, Christmas Dinner and subsequent meals/treats, for causing my trouser button to ping off!)

Cutting wood with the saw in a “we’d better do some winter tidying in the back garden” exercise

Using the awl to help push a bead onto a lanyard for one of the knives

Knives carried so far today include Rambler, Sportsman and Farmer.

Used Bantam to divide a Selenium (supplement) tablet in half.
I always try to do it with my hands but it is very difficult because the tablet is hard and small.
I wrapped the tablet in a piece of paper tissue.
I opened the blade and the combined tool then placed the tablet on the knife and then slightly closed the blade.
Perfect cut!
I was inspired by a Youtube video where they used a similar technique to strip an electrical wire.

Used small blade to cut coupons for free coffee from local paper to give to my guys on worksite,  used large blade to open some cup lids at the wholesalers,  used the corkscrew to fish out a bit of twine from a broken retractable key holder and used small screwdriver tip to open it up to re tie cable to keyring .

Greetings fellow Knights!
 Yesterday received a poor unloved Marlboro Outdoorsman for $15.
Used my Sayglow Climber can opener to remove cracked and worn scales. Gave it 3 hot baths to clean it and get tools moving.  Oiled it, Sharpened blades, replaced scales with cool 3D printed glow in the dark scales. Got cut, so now it's blooded, lol
Named it Samson after my late black cat.  Yin/Yang thing.

Today used Samson to
 Liberate some olives fro a jar, then clear Gutter Helmet areas of debris with fish scaler.
Small blade to cut corrugated box to build bookshelf.
Phillips to tighten a couple of doorknobs.
Reamer to poke a new hole in belt because I lost a few pounds.
Can opener and large blade to fix dinner.

Whew, what a day! My Sam should be purring with glee from cat heaven.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200114/078fcad4517f678a8309d58bcc953d3d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200114/c26e1aaa93317b74deadef8d598924aa.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200114/e8b0c568f36a3abd60d07a6d0ffa0586.jpg)

Hey Rapid,
Congratulations on semi-retirement! 
After 20 years in practice (I'm a Naturpathic Doctor and Acupuncturist,  hence Acu Phys :hatsoff:) I am only working on a few long time patients,  and  finished certification in Phlebotomy for a part-time something to do job.

-the awl to drill a hole in a baby coconut for the wife,
-the corkscrew  to fish out some small cord for a key lanyard .
Oh  and nearly forgot , used the toothpick for its intended purpose after dinner

...large blade-plastic on box store items packaged for WW3  :rant:

I've had those things damage either me (seriously, clam pack is SHARP!) or my knife (opened a set of welding torches, that were so hard, I couldn't cut the plastic with the blade, and punctured the plastic with the awl,  which actually messed up a liner on my Fieldmaster). Usually, I have a Benchmade 8 Rescue Hook and a pair of trauma shears (and wire cutters, for cable ties) laid out. My folks probably would think I'm gearing up for an auto extrication drill with what I'm using!

Any very thin, very hardy instrument capable of prodding plus a screwdriver would have done. When you look in an office there's not that much: clips are too soft, pens and keys too thick. The fact that the combo tool can apply all your force into a minute surface without breaking is a real plus.

There is scrap wire on the shelf and I thought I would test the sheepsfoot out a little. The rough cut portion does a great job of stripping insulation without to much damage to wire, and the main portion of this blade ate through that 12 gauge strand wire like nothing. I was impressed! Also as always the wire stripper on the cap lifter works about as good as you make it, a decent replacement if a strippers is not within arms reach!

I found some more spare wire to play with the Electrician. Sheepsfoot sliced right through everything (insulation and very small gauge wire for 24v hvac control systems). The chisel grind near the pivot made GREAT work stripping only the insulated tube off leaving the wires undamaged. For the small wiring I used the cap lifter/big blade to cut the insulation. Again worked as a charm. Also, the chisel grind worked great for stripping the small wires too. If you are in a field where you run wiring all day and hooking up low voltage control circuits, this alox SAK is worth thinking about

I found some more spare wire to play with the Electrician. Sheepsfoot sliced right through everything (insulation and very small gauge wire for 24v hvac control systems). The chisel grind near the pivot made GREAT work stripping only the insulated tube off leaving the wires undamaged. For the small wiring I used the cap lifter/big blade to cut the insulation. Again worked as a charm. Also, the chisel grind worked great for stripping the small wires too. If you are in a field where you run wiring all day and hooking up low voltage control circuits, this alox SAK is worth thinking about

Today I was carrying my Farmer, since I had a feeling I might need a saw :)  We were out for a desert hike today, came across a nicely naturally cured downed mesquite.  Spotted a branch that looked promising for a walking stick for my 5 year old boy.  Cut a piece off using the saw on the Farmer, then also sawed off the smaller branches. Used the main blade to get the stick in useable shape for the rest of the walk.  He's excited to start work on the stick at home, smoothing with sandpaper, oiling and adding a lanyard and rubber tip.  After the hike, used the Farmer again at lunch for sandwich cutting duty.

That particular sling (baby tarantula) is only about 12mm, so a picture of that specimen would not be beneficial for descriptive purposes.  However, here a few of my others, out of the 40ish I currently keep.

On my Pocket Toolchest today, surprisingly, most of the tools. My favorite SAKs are those that I will be using nearly all the tools on a day-to-day basis.

Used then blade opening some mail and packages.  Used the scissors cutting away some ties used in packaging.

Used the nailfile to work on an absolutely destroyed left thumbnail.

My grandmother asked me to fix a couch throw pillow that had a plastic stiffener that had stabbed through. First tried the nailfile. DIdn't work. Then the awl. Didn't work. Then, finally I cut it with the scissors, and used the awl to stab the little bit sticking through still back in.

The vast majority of tarantulas are a very dull brown or grey through their first few molts.  Once they start hitting about one inch (2.5cm), they slowly begin to show adult coloration.  Additionally, the growth rate of different species varies greatly.  Consequently, you can move from dull brown or grey to adult colors in 6-8 months, or you may have a very blah little spider for a couple of years.  This is a very general answer to your question.

But, I'm going to the knife store tomorrow; and am probably going to buy a Stayglow Classic SD. I'll see if they have the floral print Classic.

I think it's exclusive to them. Never saw it anywhere else; aside from used/secondary market.


Speaking of the Serrated Spartan, I stuck mine in the pocket today. I've been cleaning out the outbuilding, and it destroyed quite a few boxes to break them down. The serrations on the main blade had no trouble at all with some boxes as heavy as large shipping cases (like Sam's has in the bins near the exit); ripping through them like nothing.

Since I carried the serrated Spartan again today I decided to cut up a box at work so I could see how well the serrated blade worked.  I was impressed and it was nice to use the sak today!  I don't normally have a reason to use one daily so sometimes I have to create ways!  :)

I am starting to think I like the serrated main blade and it is nice to have both styles on one sak!

Good one with the hook. I don't give it much use but it's good to have.

I love using the Vic can opener. It's the only one I have! Tragic SAK geek that I am, I enjoy the challenge of making the fastest, cleanest cuts I can.  :whistle:

I'll try that! Having long hair and a cat, the vacuum brush needs frequent clearing. Normally I just pull the hair off with my fingers.

I use the scaler for weeding small pots; as a ruler; as a drill in soft materials; as a general probing, poking tool. The nearest it comes to fishing is extracting sunken teabags from the cup! :P

When I switched over from pliers-based MTs and was EDCing the Champion I used the scaler a LOT (to the point where the Angler was on my short list for purchase).

I used it for poking, prodding, forking, measuring, prying, extracting, scraping.

Not so much nowadays.

It is interesting to hear all the uses for the fish scaler.  I’ve never used it, but now I think during the SAK Stack Challenge next month I might need to change that and see what uses I come up with.

Holy great uses everybody!
I like the hook idea to clean cookware rims Acu! Definitely employing that tactic!

I saw a video of a lady saying to use something like a chopstick.  So I thought, how can I use my SAK?  Hook came to mind and worked awesomely.   :)

Good one with the hook. I don't give it much use but it's good to have.

I love using the Vic can opener. It's the only one I have! Tragic SAK geek that I am, I enjoy the challenge of making the fastest, cleanest cuts I can.  :whistle:

PS. Speaking of unpopular tools, I use the fish scaler much more than I ever thought I would, such that I dream of mods incorporating it.  :D


Speaking of cleaning and the fish scaler, it's useful in guiding washcloths into small spaces as the tips are dull enough to not easily damage the cloth or what you're cleaning but snag enough allow you to properly clean regular dirt.

Had again to disassemble and clean the robovac.

Used my Workchamp XL. Unscrewing was done with the screwdriver on the can opener which was very unbalanced because of the position of the can opener.

Cleaned the inside with help of tweezers, pliers and the marlin spike. Removed a tightly compressed pack of cat hair and dust.

For closing I switched to the dedicated philips which resides normally underneath the pliers.

It worked.

BTW: If there was a spartan in this household... It would absolutely been sufficient for that task.  :facepalm:

I need a new bacon detector. I was cooking bacon at 3am one morning when I couldn't sleep, and of course it detected it, and decided my neighbours should know.

I grabbed my walking stick, and made sure it would never detect bacon again.

I finally got around to fixing my CRKT M16-10KS. I'd goofed up when I used thread locker on the pivot clip screws-- I used way too much and it had seized the blade up. I used the large screwdriver to undo the pivot screw, then my bit driver on a dedicated precision screwdriver to remove the clip. Cleaning was a little different, as I'd chose not to unscrew the frame. I used the toothpick and awl to scrape assorted grime and thread locker out of the thing. That wasn't enough, so everything got cleaned with hot water, and a toothbrush.   Reassembly was done with the aid of the toothpick to align blade, washer, and handle frame. Resassemble, using large screwdriver again.

Works like it was intended to again; after oiling. Seems the "penetrating" ability of my gun oil ate away the last of the threadlocker.

Oh, and the hook saved my rear again. I was attaching a fixed blade that had a MOLLE sheath to my 3-Day Assault Pack. I couldn't pull the snap through the last row of webbing to get it to attach to the female snap at the tip of the sheath. Tried several different types of pliers, then realized I had my Huntsman in my pocket. I was able to grab the inside of the snap with the hook, and pull it through without issue. That is why it's far from being the most useless tool on the SAK.

I normally use the Vic can opener. This time, I used the Vic combo tool (Waiter), the Wenger can opener (Traveller), and the Wenger combo tool (Basic 66) for consecutive thirds.

Taking my time, they all worked pretty well. :tu:  The Vic combo tool and the Wenger can opener made the tidiest cuts, the Wenger combo tool leaving a more jagged edge than the others. 

Enjoy your evenings/afternoons/mornings!  :P

In these days of Lockdown, whichever SAK I have with me (chosen from a fair collection) sees multiple uses every day at the moment.

Today sees the SwissChamp in action, sharpening the little girl’s pencils as she works through her enforced home schooling period, various screwdriver and awl tasks, use of the pen when in rooms without stationery, personal hygiene and so on and so forth.

Got plenty of use from the Forester today. Plenty of scraping to fix and waterproof the roof or a shed. Then I used it to remove all the old sealant from the bathtub - the locking blade was handy for this as backwards you can use it to "lift" the old stuff. Used the awl as well!

At the end of it I felt as if I had given it quite a beating.

And yes that's true. Well, the baby just needs the occasional diaper change, some food and some sleep. But he also like to be entertained.
My daughter however is quite the handful if that's the proper term :think:
It's quite hard to keep her busy while also doing some work (my wife and I both work from home, but fortunately she only needs to make a few hours per week).

This is the same for all young parents around the world I think :)

   We’ve been sheltering in place here on the east coast due to the coronavirus. My wife and my son have been in the house for almost three weeks now; I work from home every other week due to my duties at the hospital I work at. This weekend’s weather was a welcome break from the colder temperatures and rain we had most of the week. Saturday my 7 year-old and I took a short hike in the woods behind our house to look for branches that we could make in to sling shots. I had my Explorer on me as my usual EDC and my SwissChamp on my belt that I normally take on hikes. The saw on the SC came in handy and we were able to gather 3 different Y-shaped branches to use. While we were out, I showed my son how to use the saw and he got a field lesson on how to use the main blade to strip the bark off of some smaller branches. This was his first time using a blade and we had a thorough safety lesson before he started.

   When we got home, we used the saw again to trim the branches down to the final size, the small blade and the chisel to carve some notches around the arms of the Y to hold the rubber bands. For the pouch we used part of the tongue from an old pair of leather work boots and used the small blade to cut it down to size. The awl came in handy to make holes on the end of the leather pouch to attach the rubber bands through.

   After making two slingshots, we harvested some small rocks from the yard and had a blast testing them out. My son complained that the bark on the handle of his slingshot was starting to irritate his hand, so we used the main blade to strip the bark off down to the heart wood and it was more comfortable for him to hold for an extended period.

   Sunday I presented him with his first SAK, a Victorinox Evolution S17. He can only use it while I'm present and it stays in my drawer when not in use. Another knife safety review was held before we opened any of the tools. He was really excited to use the main blade, the saw and the scissors. He got a lot of practice sawing small diameter branches and sharpening the ends. We made him a lanyard to go on his SAK like I have on my SwissChamp to finish out the day.

   All in all, it was a great time outside and great time spent with my son teaching him some valuable skills.

Surprisingly for many people out there I just bought this awesome Work Champ mainly for the long reaching thin screwdriver, so I decided to give it a go right away.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200414/439e4bca632e1c4e7153f6c54be9861c.jpg)

Some time ago I ordered a Bluetooth MIDI footswitch by IK Multimedia - iRig BlueBoard. Bought it directly from them marked as “open box”.
Don’t know how do you open a box so that one of the LEDs won’t light up afterwards and no computer or phone would recognize it either for pairing and use or in a state of firmware update...
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200414/88009fbea3b98613a882c0184a3b6561.jpg)

I bought it in the US and had delivered to Ukraine, so returning it would be a pain the butt.

After quite some fiddling I eventually made it work and even got the firmware up to date.

The only issue remained a dead C button LED - if you press the button it works, but then without the light functioning you can’t be sure if it’s on or off.

So having received my awesome shiny new Work Champ I decided to disassemble the faulty controller and attempt to get it fixed.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200414/5e4cfaf208a1dfaea287e3d9f905a41a.jpg)

Nasty engineers made it a bit unintuitive to disassemble - hidden screws turned out to be chaotically placed all over the lid and to find them I had to blindly press every inch of it, though the long screwdriver dealt with them amazingly well
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200414/d3d49d29c5c4cb34934ebd77cf548678.jpg)


After some probing with a multimeter I found that the LED is Ok and it’s just a bad soldering joint.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200414/4dae00c7b65f675923b007ccb0395017.jpg)

Will have it soldered in place today or tomorrow and hopefully enjoy playing my guitar through my Mac or iPad the way I wanted to

No photos taken, but I tried to use my LM Wave to “unstick” the flusher button on our toilet, and it just wasn’t working out...quite literally!

Quite some time ago I figured out how to use Ferro rod with a locking LM saw and that’s the only set of tools I bring to the woods when we want to start a fire. Later on I got a Signal, which has all the instruments for that built right in. But a few years ago before heading to Alps for the Tour du Mont Blanc and later for the Mont Blanc ascent I decided to get something lighter - it was a Vic Forester. And until a few days ago I could not figure a simple thing of how to use a non-locking Vic saw with fire steel - just push the saw against the ground or a piece of wood and move the ferro, not the saw

Felix Immler showed me this in one of his videos tbh

https://youtu.be/1wpPNWgaI9c

Felix is a truly inspiring person I can learn an infinite amount of things from

I have a Wenger Classic 52 with such a loose scissor pivot screw that one half kept sliding off the spring. A jeweller's SD wouldn't turn it. I was too impatient to wait for lockdown to end and for a hardware store to reopen, and I needed to do something productive while stuck at home today. I thought I'd have a go with the tip of a Camper's can opener.

First I had to fetch a couple of Swisschamps to file the SD tip thinner and a little narrower to fit the screw's slot.

It worked, at the cost of a slightly twisted SD tip (easily remedied after). The screw was so incredibly stiff to turn that I'm baffled as to how it got so loose.

Why two SCs? Well, the stainless file on the first one didn't make a mark and even gained some wear. The older case hardened file on the other knife cut with ease. It confirmed my long held suspicion that the older file is harder than the newer one.

A SAK used on a SAK that was used on another. Hadn't done that before.  :cheers:

Probably because of lockdown related cognitive dysfunction - I just wondered about the logistics of sticking an actual disposable wooden toothpick in the scale slot - use it as and when needed, and replace at your earliest convenience.   :think:

I take care of an elderly gentleman here who's in relatively bad health. After failing to get in touch with him today, I feared that something was wrong. I went to his house to check on him, but found his screen door to be locked. This was strange since he usually only locks it at night. He usually unlocks this as soon as he wakes up, in case someone comes to visit. I immediately went into my pocket, grabbed my SwissChamp, and used the knife blade to slip between the door and weather seal to disengage the latch. Once in the house, I found him asleep in his rocking chair. I am happy he was okay.  :)

Needed to sharpen my childhood pencil sharpener, which the little girl is using for her home schooling, so took it apart with the help of the eyeglass screwdriver from my Sportsman.

The sharpener blade was then sharpened (this is getting ridiculous - using a sharp-thing-tool to sharpen a sharp thing from a sharpener on a Sharpmaker  :D :ahhh :D ) with great success!

I'll have to wait for a repair until after the lock-down. I just checked and it doesn't look like something I could do myself.

At work I used a Spartan to cut irrigation spitter lines.

Yep, forgot to pop my Trailmaster in my shorts pocket before leaving the house. Lucky I had a Spartan handy. I missed the Trailmaster for a task but I did enjoy having a lighter and smaller pocket load for a change.  :)

Arrrgh, the pain of going without coffee. What I've done when I've had no machine is simply to put the grounds in a mug and fill it with hot water. I wait a couple of minutes then stir, and the grounds sink. Trying to avoid the grittiness at the bottom of the cup is part of the charm!  :P

Good luck with the repair!

Hmmm, sounds like a plan, except I'll have to come up with a plan to grind the beans first. The coffee maker has a built-in grinder, but obviously it's not working ATM.

Pull chain broke on the ceiling fan light. Had to disassemble the tiny clicker mechanism. Not intended for service as it is riveted closed, but managed to drill these out, extract what was left of the chain inside the module and put it all back together. Has some M2 bolts that were good to close it up. Trick was to twist the two halves around to pre-load the spring. SC helped with the pliers for grabbing the tiny chain and holding the nut on reassembly. Inline Phillips essential for clearance when screwing it back into the fitting. Only missed having a fine electrician’s flat for the cable block.  :like:

I used the small blade on my 91mm SAK to slice around the RTV silicone that sealed and glued a driver into one of my DCM QED speakers. The tweeter started making garbled noises and cutting in and out, which is a sure sign of a bad electrolytic capacitor... but the QEDs are sealed units and getting to the crossover was a nightmare. I also used the flat driver to pry with (gently), as well as an Ozark Trail MultiForce flat driver for all the heavy-duty scraping and prying.

Small blade of tinker to pop out screw covers on gunked up blank plates at work, and then to cut open hot dog buns for the kids and I for lunch. Large blade to open a packet of crackers for my wife to snack on.
The whole tool to fondle/fidget with, but that's really an everyday use to be honest  :D

I used my Executive to open up a couple of bags of garden soil. Yes I did give it a good clean afterwards. It smelled so bad...!

Then I removed a splinter with a little help from my Traveller's tweezers and stainless steel pin.

I also used the screwdriver on the Executive's nail file to disassemble a basin waste (is that the correct term?). The new one didn't fit so I had to undo it all  :dunno:

What else :think:
Oh yes, my Cybertool 34 was used to open up quite a few packages :tu:

I dropped a small drill bit between my workbench and the wall and it landed in a pile of odds and ends. I couldn't really reach it without taking the pile apart, but then I remembered my Swischamp.

The corkscrew really is a great tool. Mine sees most use as a nail cleaner. Curiously, I haven't opened a bottle with it in years and years. All screw tops here.

Tonight I used my kitchen Explorer's CS to extract a wad of cotton from a new bottle of vitamins. The wad pretty much filled the bottle, and when it came out I was amazed to see 30 tiny tablets barely covering the bottom!

Yeah, a bottle of 99.5% cotton and air! I guess it's to keep the company's product size consistent on store shelves, make labelling easier to print and read, cheaper than having to buy in stock of smaller bottles, those sorts of things.

I did a fair amount of work today with the swisschamp. I honestly never thought I'd get along with the brick, and as I mentioned in the SC thread, I only bought it because I knew eventually I'd own one if I was to have any 91mms.

 :think:  Multitool logic?

I never expected to like it but for some reason it's struck a chord, and while it's probably less useful than the Wave for my purposes (which was mostly banished to the tool chest), I can't help but pick it up and carry it around with me.

(https://i.ibb.co/YRmYT4X/woodsaw.jpg) (https://ibb.co/vwpgvCh)

I also tested the Walker saw side-by-side with the 91mm saw. I didn't notice any difference in effectiveness for this small piece of wood. The 84mm saw is shorter, but also noticeably narrower, so efficiency is preserved. The Walker is a pretty impressive little tool.  :tu:

I needed to replace a couple tritium vials on my flashlight bezel after it fell.

I used the small chisel to assist in removing the old vials and adhesive after heating it.  I used the metal file to smooth a damaged spot on the bezel so one of the new vials could actual be placed into the slot.  The toothpick helped to spread the adhesive in the spot before and after placing the vials in the slot using the tweezers. 

I really can’t complain when the only damage to the flashlight, after falling about 10ft onto concrete, was 2 of 6 tritium vials and a couple of cosmetic dings.

And since the lighter didn't work (of course), we just ate some bread, salad and other side dishes.

...because they were unreliable and uneconomical to repair under warranty by Victorinox. If you find one today, there’s a 95% chance it’s not working. There’s a small cut-off value inside the fluid reservoir that seizes over time once the fluid dries, and it’s common for people to think the jet is blocked so they stick a pin in the top and damage it. The piezoelectric lead had poor insulation and would short on the body preventing a spark, and the flexible inner tubing would shrink and pull away from its connection point. The lighter module was not built by Victorinox and was a poor design. Probably why about the only thing they outsource today is the corkscrew.  :cheers:

Just a minor rant from me... :facepalm:
I spent almost a day last year rebuilding one. Deconstructed it down to every last component. Rebuilt it with parts from a different brand lighter, only to crack the ceramic shield on reassembly. One of the rare times I’ve abandoned a repair project. Tools all got reused in several builds, but the lighter pieces got binned. Not rushing out to find another.  :pok:

The Swisschamp came through again with the help of the pliers, a.k.a. aggressive tweezers. The safety guard on the angle grinder I was using had slid out of position due to a loose nut on the locking collar. I didn't want to run back to the workshop for a pair of pliers that would fit. So out came the SC and the pliers, which were the perfect fit to adjust the nut and lock the guard back in to place, keeping the shower of sparks headed in my direction to a minimum.

Alox Money Clip--blade got used to sharpen the ends of weed eater string (big cheap folder I had wasn't precise enough) many times, Also used the scissors for some stuff. The "money" clip (which is a tool by the way according to Vic) served as a pocket clip all day long.

Tinker. Main blade cut a lot of stuff later today once I ditched the big cheap knife.  I used the cap lifter's screwdriver to attempt to detangle a tie-down that would have held some posts into the UTV bed so they don't fall out.

This weekend I used the SwissChamp's saw to quickly cut down some wooden shims to size, the in-line screwdriver to hold down the miter box to a temporary work bench, the chisel to help fit some wood pieces in to place and the cap lifter to open a can of paint so that the Mrs. could go to town with the paint brush. When we remodeled the kitchen a few years ago because of a 'minor' leak, I used my CyberTool 41 a lot for small tasks when I didn't want to search for the full sized tool. Now I wouldn't think of starting any household job without my SC by my side. It is endlessly functional and unfailingly dependable.

Well, i finally managed to come back here. Sorry for my absence and so on... But... because my son managed to get a hold of the courtyard keys and threw them away (most probably, they are nowhere to be found), i had to change the whole locking mechanism in the cellar, because we needed some stuff from. The rest of the locks arw waiting to be changed. Procrastinating and sh (it). Like the vodafone and ing developers. They really f-ed up those apps and right in these times i have to get in person there. Smart, really smart. But enough with my rant and...
I used 2 tools in order to screw some screws in?!  :rofl: Drywall screws in some pinewood/sprucetree, kinda wood. No electric tools by hand, so first: used the awl from a wenger ranger electrician to make a little bit of a hole. Clapped on my fingers repeatedly. Not the best, but it had the diameter i needed, not to big. Then, some leatherman st300 got the screws half in. After that, the wenger had to work. Thing is, the wenger has a way better torque power. The st300 felt and is still feeling a little... wobly?! The phillips screwdriver. Developed some play, but it's still holding on an not closing on my fingers like the wenger awl. And now the end. Between wenger and victorinox i would always choose wenger for the in the scales build screwdriver. Because look at the pictures.

My Super Tool 300's pliers teeth just don't grip too well. The SwissTool's are just right for fencing work. The more I use it, the more I feel the SwissTool is the ultimate multitool. Now, if only Victorinox would modify the design to be more useful with gloves--mostly by offering larger cutouts on the handles and outer tools. I would say do away with the high polish on some tools, but that decreases rust resistance (which is why bead-blasted Leathermans rust easily).

A large piece of a rotted tree had broken off; and had bent over the fence it was attached to. Primarily due to an individual to cross over onto the property without permission (in other words, trespass) whose actions were responsible for two days of fence repair.  Let's just say I wanted to put my size 9.5W steel toe workboot far up their back end long before I was even done. We replaced the fence along the property boundary a couple years ago. This newer, high-tensile stuff is crap. The old fence, on the other hand, put in in the 1980s, is Red Brand. That stuff cannot be cut with anything less than bolt cutters, so, uh, my MT and even ten-inch Klein lineman pliers wasn't gonna cut it. And I couldn't pull the staples.   I used the metal saw, and it went through the wire like it was nothing. The top line of the wire was the hard part, and is of an extremely thick and heavy gauge.

Great uses everyone

Frankly speaking, I hoped for this to arrive during my 30-day Work Champ challenge, but it didn’t. So I’ll post it now.

A few weeks after hours of watching and listening to different reviews I pulled a trigger on a new set of noiseless pickups for my Fender American Standard Telecaster. I went with Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack set if you’re interested, hoping they will give me that spark single coils deliver but without all the additional hum.

And so as they arrived I went on to install them using the Work Champ

For those interested details are below, for everyone else here’s the final pic
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/d56c3da6c1dd251b14472eb1aa10124d.jpg)

First of all a large Phillips was used a lot to unscrew all the parts
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/24decfceda686da57b7ae6e7241ee06d.jpg)

Then the guide says you need to twist and solder and tape red and white wires, so I used scissors to cut the thermal isolating tube
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/0e917ff5a64e06a4578ac9c850310026.jpg)

Installation time - lots of screwing again of course and even pliers to pull the wires from all those hard to reach places
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/51e066e858a2164c87f26a90421098db.jpg)

Small Phillips was used as well on some screws so it’s definitely a nice to have
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/02d3200ef6444997d206302b67dd0cbd.jpg)

And scissors again to cut open a new set of strings
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/f8d8a4c6dc1384164466d73d68d5b5a5.jpg)


Conclusion: I definitely received what I was after and sound wise I can tell it’s an upgrade for sure. Though the set I got on eBay marked as open box and again it was all mess - box was damaged and neck pickup had totally wrong set of screws with it that are slimmer then the holes on it, so I had to improvise with mounting it

First of all a large Phillips was used a lot to unscrew all the parts
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/24decfceda686da57b7ae6e7241ee06d.jpg)

Then the guide says you need to twist and solder and tape red and white wires, so I used scissors to cut the thermal isolating tube
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/0e917ff5a64e06a4578ac9c850310026.jpg)

Installation time - lots of screwing again of course and even pliers to pull the wires from all those hard to reach places
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/51e066e858a2164c87f26a90421098db.jpg)

Small Phillips was used as well on some screws so it’s definitely a nice to have
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/02d3200ef6444997d206302b67dd0cbd.jpg)

And scissors again to cut open a new set of strings
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200605/f8d8a4c6dc1384164466d73d68d5b5a5.jpg)


Conclusion: I definitely received what I was after and sound wise I can tell it’s an upgrade for sure. Though the set I got on eBay marked as open box and again it was all mess - box was damaged and neck pickup had totally wrong set of screws with it that are slimmer then the holes on it, so I had to improvise with mounting it
Nice tele and SAK of course.
Well done on the coil mod too

My boss put his foot through a plastic pallet this afternoon and got stuck there, couldn't get his foot out at all.

Fortunately I was nearby, with a Swiss Army knife right at hand! I pulled my Trailmaster from my pocket, opened the saw, and had him free in a trice.

:angel:

I should have told him I had to amputate his foot... ah well, another day.

Hope for this to be done during the challenge as well, but the parts arrived late.

The lights on the kitchen smoke exhaust got broken and they really help sometimes when cooking in the evening.

I found the replacement parts on AliExpress for like 10-15 bucks for a set of two, but then I disassembled them, found that they consist of simple white LEDs and ordered 200 of those for about 3$

Today I decided to get it done, so used Work Champ to first unscrew the enclosure
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200610/03ef558e6f175e37bab046fee9a412f6.jpeg)

As I disassembled those lights previously I found the broken LEDs using a multimeter and marked with a black marker so they’d be easier to find and replace

As I attempted to remove the broken ones it turned out that pliers would be of much help pulling LEDs out of the board
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200610/a9f67358a82a8fbb8896a492e7a126e6.jpeg)

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200610/bb92dae65f6d4e1e797f147491e3faab.jpeg)

Little by little all 5 broken LEDs were replaced and the smoke exhaust shines like a Christmas tree

Thanks, bud, though no luck this time - has it working for a moment, but a second later in attempt to make it even better I burned down the LED and now I honestly doubt it’ll ever work as intended again
Damn SMB components
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200414/51e32c745bb292e17078b791982dbe53.jpg)

It took quite some time for a set of 200 () SMD blue LEDs to arrive from Aliexpress, but I managed to make it almost perfect again today.

Pros: it works as it should

Cons: the new LED looks just a tad different if you look really close - pops out in the picture, but real life difference is absolutely subtle.

Also it turns out those guys at IK Multimedia decided to only allow LEDs to shine if you use their proprietary mode together with their buggy app. I can't do that because it forces my Bias FX 2 to crash every time I switch the scene, so other than pleasing my itch to tinker it didn't really make a difference  :facepalm:

Work Champ helped with the screws again of course with that awesome long slim Phillips and also scissors were used to cut an SMD LED from the packaging

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200613/2a37bb20668e20bf7c0d5cd20155bc58.jpg)

P.S.: it’s a Bluetooth MIDI switch I use for playing guitar through my Mac called iRig BlueBoard in case anyone is interested
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: in_sympathy on June 13, 2020, 01:37:45 PM
And more:

One of the locks has become really stiff, so Work Champ to unscrew it, spray with WD-40, add some graphite powder and assemble back.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200613/0935075a32c7d6321da3829db147253f.jpg)

Improved slightly, but not perfect, so a metal file finished the job
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200613/809d2b2b35b72d1d4b4158bb5714db33.jpg)

The tension appeared due to addition of the insulating tape to eliminate noise and retain the warmth, but a bit of filing and graphite powered do magic

After all of those heroic deeds I thanked my Work Champ with a slight touch up and made it scary sharp in like 30 seconds
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200613/520d1f084209398ed2c1158cdf388f37.jpg)

Pretty much for changing a tire,
His new toy came in and it’s suppose to be a really good toy but he didn’t seem to thrilled, so I noticed the size pretty was close to a tennis ball which are his fav, so I pushed the ball in but then used the bottle opener to pull the tire back over the ball like they do to get it on the rim of the wheel, and now he’s pissed! He wants that ball out!
So the bottle opener like a tire machine!

The pen from my plus scales was just long enough to poke in the hole on the outside of the door handle and disengage the lock. We have the same type of handles in our house, but we have the pins that come with the handles stashed on the trim above the doors just in case. Kids always seems to lock themselves in.

Ouch, that hurts. I learned many moons ago to wear gloves even when rolling a tire around. Sometimes you won’t see an exposed thread from a tire cord and those buggers will bury deep into your skin

Tinkering with my Raspberry Pi today being physically close to it, so used a really old keyboard and mouse to control it.

Keyboard is fine, but the mouse scrolling wheel filled up with dust over the years and started triggering random up-down screen scrolling, thick kinda sucks.

Work Champ to the rescue - the long Phillips helped to disassemble both the mouse casing and to unscrew the scrolling wheel, clean it up with contacts cleaner spray and to assemble it back

Mini Champ and friends helped me in reconstructing the lock button on my sister's car key, the rubber had perished and the button just fell apart and into the body of the key:

-Tweezers to fish the broken bits out
-Combo phillips to unscrew the key (really like it as a driver)
-Ruler/flathead as a prying tool to get it apart
-Blade to trim some rubber
-Scissors to cut some donor material from adhesive electronic feet

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)

The Farmer X proved itself the most valuable MT on the Scout camp out this weekend:
  • With the regular mess kit can opener apparently MIA, the Farmer X's can opener opened a #10 can of baked beans for part of our dinner, as well as about half a dozen cans of pie filling for cobblers for dessert.
  • The scissors trimmed up the ends of several pieces of paracord (as well as a few larger ropes) prior to burning the ends, so that they could then be used for teaching knots to some of the Scouts.

The Fieldmaster, when I was in Scouts, I felt was the best all-around camp and hiking knife. The Farmer X, the same package in a much sturdier frame. The standard Scout (mine's a '70s Ulster)  can't handle Phillips and doesn't have a saw. Can opener is marginally worse than the SAKs--and Scout Stuff wants almost the same as a Fieldmaster for what is basically a $15 Marble's Camp Knife made to look like the old American-made Scouts. You can't saw wood with it (no saw), and scissors are absolutely the best for precision cutting jobs.

I wasn't keen on any of the scout knives or BSA versions of the SAKs (Huntsman... which was really a Fieldmaster... and Climber, iirc from back then).  How times change.

So a laundry hanging system we have at the balcony has fallen off the ceiling recently - probably put too much weight on it.

Bought a replacement system + new screws and tried to remove the screws left from the old system. New screws are large - 5x80 mm - so I started off by checking if all 8 holes in the ceiling are equally deep and large and that the new screws would fit in. Started to screw them in using a large Phillips on the Work Champ and it all was going well up to the point where the screwdriver eventually collapsed and I had to pick up a Leatherman Signal instead. Finished the job, but discovered that Work Champ got some dust in it again and both Phillips drivers started to open and close with scratchy sound. Had to wash it thoroughly and oil. No issues with Signal whatsoever.

Conclusion: don’t use Vics with sandy elements around - they seem to hate it really.

Conclusion 2: good to have a choice of decent tools handy when you need them

The plastic line that dangles the fuel cap from the fuel filler door on my car broke so I used my Pioneer to help make a new one. Used the can opener tip to undo the one soft plastic automotive phillips head screw. All I had with me to create a new line was some fishing line, so I used the awl to drill small holes in both the fuel cap (where the line broke) and the retainer on the filler door held on by the screw, then tied the fishing line to both holes. Trimmed some excess plastic with the awl blade and cut the fishing line with the main blade. Better solution than what came from the factory in that it doesn't touch the fender and scratch my paint!  :woohoo:

This use needs a little CAUTION! Especially when the Mrs is extremely nervous! But she had a massive wad of earwax in her bad ear, so we used the peroxide trick a few times then also a remover bulb a few times but still didn’t work, and this thing was killing her all day, I wanted to attempt with tweezers but she just started to freak, so as she was laying I grabbed my sak, and used it’s tweezers, started working, then popped out the corkscrew, then she’s like uhh what are you going to do with that? Oh this nothing, lol, don’t worry, and I slid the pin out, I slowly worked some of the wax as she’s freaking then needed a break, and one last time I grabbed the tweezers and got a good amount out, well do more peroxide and syringe tomorrow, but she needs a break!

Same...  and the water came out in a very low pressure stream.  He demonstrated on the back of my hand and I couldnt even feel it.  The water went in and he vaccumed everything out at the same time so nothing got pushed in deeper.

I’ve used a special ear syringe with warm water on the Mrs, it shoots in like four diff directions, and doesn’t hurt, I’d like to take a 2inch drywall screw just thread it in and pull it out! Lol,,

My wife calls me over and tells me a bee (murder hornet?) went into a hole in the brick and she sprayed with Windex and covered the hole with a paper towel.  I am like WTF, why does she spray everything with Windex?  ???

Anyways I used the tweezers on my SuperTinker to extract the dead carcass.  SAKs are awesome!

...hope she feels better but there actually IS a soft screw type little item that cleans the ears.
Dont remember the name or if it's legit.
There's always the MD or the SAK corkscrew  (sorry Mrs Mad Plumb)

Yeah we looked into that, cause the little guy doesn’t like qtips, @16 I still clean his ears, but I think her wax is too deep for it to reach with that, ive already got the  :o face from the Mrs because of the corkscrew when I went to take the pin out, she’s all like “WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT?” I’m like oh the corkscrew, no no no, just the little pin.. lol.. I wish I had a camera for that look!

We really are derailing this thread... but I will mention this.  If he never cleaned his ears at all, he should be just fine.  Many people go though their whole life without ever cleaning inside the ear.  One of the reasons that people get wax build-up at all is because of introducing things inside and causing irritation....creating a viscious cycle of irration and more wax.  Many times typical bathing is enough to keep things nice and open, if not that - a warm, soaked, washcloth going no deeper than the fingertip will suffice.  The wax isnt "wax" at all,and it melts in water.   After all, the Q-tip box itself says not to stick it in the ear, doesn't it. 

In the case of hearing loss it is possible that the wax is close to the eardrum, and pushing it onto the eardrum, or worse - perforating the eardrum itself with a tool can result in permanent hearing loss.  Wax that is really deep must be pulled... without as much as a micron of pushing deeper.  Also lying still during the procedure is essential.  Pain can occur when the front wall of the ear canal (the wall closer to the nose) it touched, and a nerve is stimulated.  Its like hitting the funnybone of the face.  Startling to be sure, but without lasting effects. 

I'm just worried that you all may be getting permanent damage by avoiding the ENT, after having a bad experience with one particular ENT surgeon.  and I fear that any sort of cleaning at all for your young son may be more counterproductive.  I don't mean to be preachy or give unsolicited advice, and I do apoloize for the intrusion, but hearing about your boy tugs at my heartstrings - I must point out that the young lad need not clean inside his ears at all.  The body has a way of sorting itself out until we mess with it so much that it doesn't know what to do with itself ... https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/3-reasons-to-leave-earwax-alone-2017051711718



And with that allow me to contribute to the intented purpose of the thread.  Today I opened a pre-packaged muffin for breakfast.  Not too glamourous, I know... but its one of the reasons I like the SAK...  it doesn't raise too many eyebrows in the break room.  That said, I did raise eyebrows the other day when my Pioneer X worked its way out of my pocket, and remained dangling from the suspension clip...   :facepalm:

Agreed. My next favorite scissors are on the Surge. Though I have never tried Wenger scissors. I really miss the OG wave scissors too. How leatherman could commit such an atrocity is beyond me.

Well, I just needed a sak, I found a metal sliver, so obviously I needed the tweezers, yet I couldn’t see the dang thing so I needed the mag glass, but then the little bugger didn’t want to budge so I used the pin to pry the little thing loose in order to get it with the tweezers to finally get the dang thing out! Then snap all tools back in place and put it to bed!

My wife wanted a framed poster hung, but I had to fix the crooked poster which meant using the Rambler knife to cut off the paper backing (1st layer), then using the nail file  to gently pry off the staples holding the cardboard backing (2nd layer). Cut some cardboard up with the blade to add more backing layers, used the Phillips to unscrew the frame hook, reused that 2nd backing and used the scissors to cut off the duct tape to tape the backing to the frame. Then used the Phillips to screw back the frame hooks.

Really impressed with that Rambler.

Day on the lake today. Used the Walker to prepare food and the Farmer X to whittle sticks and build little things.

Intended to use the Farmer X for all of it but someone started using the Walker on meats, so it was a done deal.  :cheers:

Have to say, I'm very impressed with the Farmer X. I think of it more as a heavy-duty Hunter since it's a similar toolset but everything is more substantial. The awl in particular is incredibly effective. Feels great in the hand, easy to clean, and can take a beating. What a great outdoors SAK.  :D

Ive been recently bullied into using my SwissChamp.

Did so in an unorthodox way. Opened a package from a member here using my SC can opener. It cut the tape pretty easy  :tu:

We were having lots of fun outdoors today - wakeboarding, SUP, hammocks and so on. During lunch preps it turned out that we need to open two cans of corn for a quesadilla cooked on an open fire, but don’t have a dedicated can opener. I said hold my coffee, ladies and gentlemen, while my Work Champ does the job

Sorry, no pics - would have been too odd for the occasion, but I enjoyed the moment nonetheless

One more thing: I feel I’m getting really good at using SAK can openers - takes no time and zero effort now

Always a good use... There's not any things that are good at opening cans besides a can opener. There's not many things that are as good as food cooked outdoors.  It's times like this when you don't mind having the can opener in your pocket all the time.

This is my favorite thread on the whole site, the amazing versatility of SAKs is really something.  Also seeing all the different SAKs in action is so Cool!  Anyway used my bottle opener on my Super Tinker to pry up a sprinkler head in the yard to inspect it.  Try that with a Benchmade  :D

Used the can opener of the Cadet to tighten a screw on the porch. Unfortunately I slipped, and slightly twisted the tip  :facepalm:
Of course this made me reconsider if the Cadet is the right SAK to carry at home. Switched to the Tinker for further testing.

Even though I am not a big fan of the backside screwdriver, it still is better in applying torque to a screw and reduce the chance of slipping. Will see if it becomes the new standard in my pockets  :popcorn:

Also a reason for me to carry a SAK. My dogs have long curly hair and it gets stuck in fences, thorny bushes and so on. Most of the time it is no issue, but one or two times I had to help them out.

You’re right I’d not checked the date until I saw it in the photo (d’oh)! Contents seemed fine but decided against risking it. Cans were usually good for years past best before date, but read recently that modern canning techniques have changed and that’s not now necessarily the case like it used to be. Remember back in UK as a kid the show Blue Peter on the BBC opening a chocolate tin given to soldiers in WW1 that was still good.
They don’t make them like they used to!

I'd think that its still ok ...  if it looks and smells ok and the can itself hasnt become misshapen from who-knows-what inside. 

But anyway... although ergonomically better... I did find the cutting edge of the combo tool to be a bit harder to use.

I’m not sure on the year, All I know is there’s a 2nd on the outside of the garage too, and it’s crappy but he bought them as a pair, but he wants to sell that along with the engine to get some cash, idk how he does it but he can buy something for $10 use it and make it worse then sell it for $30,,

Thanks on the handle, the saguaro is pretty thick so I couldn’t get a good grip since my fingers wouldn’t go all the away around, at the same time I kinda didn’t want to get rid of the large tops cause I thought of engraving or burning an image, at the same time by leaving it that little lip could rest on the hand, I even thought of putting four finger groves on the front but said na,, maybe if it was heavier, this thing is so light weight, maybe the same as a heavy pool noodle if that?

Also, I was doing a bit of air drumming whilst having the CT in my right hand. There's a small dent in the cupboard door now :facepalm:

This may fall under TMI, but...I found the SAK  tweezers are a PERFECT for cleaning the nooks, crannies and especially the slots of my Grahl rotary nose hair trimmer. This is a major discovery for me, as my trimmer needs frequent cleaning during hay fever season, or it stops trimming.

Didn't have my phone to take photos, but swam ashore in the lake with the Farmer X in pocket to harvest two pieces of driftwood washed up. Also used the scissors on it to trim some broken layers of fabric on flip flops that were irritating.

I have to say, the Farmer X is basically peak outdoor SAK for me.

Going to pick one up for each my brother and dad. They're really one of the best SAKs they've ever made, in my opinion... it's like a more durable and beefy Huntsman, which has always been one of their most popular models.

I replaced a broken strap on my favourite G-Shock with the help of the mini SD (to remove and reinstall the bezel screws), the Camper's small blade (to remove the springbar), the flat SD tip of the Rambler's file (to reinstall the springbar), and the Rambler's tweezers to hold the tiny bezel screws). Normally I'd use a jeweller's screwdriver and a proper springbar tool, but I haven't used them in years and couldn't find them.

I never enjoy changing G-Shock straps and had been putting it off for months and months. It was a true turd of a job - very fiddly to get the springbar back in place - and one I hope not to have to repeat in a hurry (or at all)!

Pulled out my Camper to harvest broccoli for dinner. Unlike the beauties I grew last year, these are straggly plants and a serrated blade would've dealt better with the stringy shoots. Man, I wish there were serrated options for 91mm knives other than the serrated Spartan.

Later, used the same Camper to cut up a pear for an after work snack.

Forgot to post this, but anyway a few days ago used Work Champ to fix the heating kitchen water faucet. It’s already a few years old and lately the heating switch started acting up - it randomly remains on when you turn the water tap off which is pretty dangerous. Even worse - switching it back and forth won’t help as well.

So before actually buying a replacement hopefully this weekend I decided to give it a temporary fix - completely disassembled it, cleaned all the contacts and parts and assembled it back. Seems to work OK for now, but will be replaced anyway.

Tried to use a can opener to remove the screw covering sticker, but that failed and I had to use an office knife instead.

Then used a long Phillips to unscrew the mechanism

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200903/fa2616059d2714064b90ee874a636e43.jpg)

After I’ve cleaned and fix what I could I used scissors to cut a piece of double-sided tape to get that old screw covering sticker back into place reliably

I carried a Marlboro Outdoorsman today, and will for the remainder of the Nessmuk Challenge.

I used the saw trying to free a stuck UTV. I cut some sturdy, straight tree limbs I found in the brush/scrap metal pile, trying to make my own traction mats. That didn't work, and we ended up having the dealership bring a tracked Bobcat to pull it out when they brought back our riding lawnmower from service.


Used the hook to carry a bucket of sheep feed.

Lunchtime with my Swisschamp cutting in half a Nigiri

All in good fun since we're all friends here...  There are so many cultural faux pas in this one photograph. :facepalm:
I'll spare you the details, but suffice it to say that Comis will need a long vacation if he sees this.  I shudder to think what would happen if you encountered the yanagi welding sushi chef while you were eating.  Even your trusty Swiss Army knife couldn't protect you from the yanagi. ;)

Used the small blade on my SwissChamp to score some  wooden shims to level out a railing post, then the ruler in the fish scaler for a quick measurement rather than look for the measuring tape. The blade on my RangerGrip 55 help make some fatwood shavings for the fire pit later tonight.

Opened a hard boiled egg with my XLT. Used the bit driver with the PH2-bit. Worked as expected.

Will try it again tomorrow with a different bit.

ulzhan, do I hear a new challenge idea? The Hard Boiled Egg Challenge: Open a hard boiled egg each day with a different tool on the SAK of your choice until you've used all the implements on that model? And of course there would have to be a badge.

The Swiss Champ came to the rescue last night. I was short a marshmallow roasting stick for the number of kids we had for our campfire. Off to the woods behind the house and used the saw to cut a small branch from a fallen oak, then the main blade to sharpen the end. The kids only used them for a couple of rounds and left the adults to finish the bag!

Half an hour later used scissors to unpack two upgrade kits for my Fender Telecaster jack socket - one is chrome and one is nickel. Never knew which one would fit better, so ordered both. In case you are interested- it’s nickel for my AmStd Tele

So here I go with the installation. Spoiler: it turned out to be way easier than I expected, though never seemed as a tough one to handle anyway

First thing first I used pliers to undo the nut holding an old socket in place
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200913/3453d81f54f4ce4b13a52e84de605fe7.jpg)

Then unscrewed the control plate to reach the socket from the inside
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200913/329adc38b237107935fe946e290e49b5.jpg)

A new socket just screws on top of the standard Switchcraft jack and is thick enough so you don’t have to remove any of the stock parts - just screw it on
Here I used pliers again to tighten it up and align properly
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200913/d364627141e459dc97de1379aadbe9e0.jpg)

Then just get in fixed in place by those two screws
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200913/f8ba0d6cfe93866adcce55d0df6575cb.jpg)

P.S.: honestly speaking I dropped one of the screws during this stage right into the jack socket hole, so had to undo the control plate and grab the screw with the pliers to try once more
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200913/b382f51fe62d019d13b0864614cc205c.jpg)

All in all it takes less than 10 minutes to have your Telecaster jack socket fixed like forever

P.P.S.: after I’ve done all the steps I checked the result again to see if I have the replacement cap screwed in line with the body of the guitar and to my surprise it wasn’t. Additional examination showed that it’s not my fault - the part has misaligned screw holes, so it’ll be that way

I always thought it was 'Measures once, cuss twice'  :think: Pretty sure your method produces a lot less waste too; I'm going to have to give it a try!

We rented a small skiff this weekend to tour some of the back waterways and the Swiss Champ's main blade cut open a package of bait for fishing. Unfortunately, the hook disgorger on the fish scaler and the pliers didn't get any use as I had hoped. Carrying the SC on a pocket dangler clip at work today to test the feasibility of using it as my work EDC to replace my Explorer. I'll give it a run for the week and see how it goes. Used the Minichamp's cut & picker blade to score the outer sheath of some data cable I have to terminate. I pinched the cable between the blade and the body, gave the MC a few twists with just the slightest pressure and the wire covering slides right off without any damage to the wires underneath.

Improvisation is fun!  Years ago, before I had a micro SD on any of my SAKs..... I used the chisel on my Champion more times than I can count to tighten screws on eyeglasses.  I can remember when I was a teenager...  I would break my eyeglasses all the time.

In light of MadPlumbarian's yellow jacket harvesting machine, my SAK use today was no where near as awesome, but it was fun. I had to get in to an office that was recently vacated to pick up some equipment before the new tenants moved in, but the door was locked. I remember the previous occupant telling me that he could just use his ID badge to slide between the jamb and the latch bolt and open the door. Seeing as I didn't want to walk all the way back down to the security desk to ask for someone with a key to let me in, I took out my Explorer and tried to use the main blade to manipulate the latch bolt. It took a little more force than I was comfortable putting the blade through, so I switched to the cap lifter and lo and behold it worked like a charm! I felt like my childhood hero, Saint Angus (MacGyver), patron saint of improvised solutions.

For the first time I had actual use for the CS driver. I usually carry my alox mod but for some reason I picked the 91mm cousin today. The kids wanted to play pokemon go and we headed out to a good area that has a lot of those and is surrounded with forest. My doughter tried out a new case for her phone that has a lot of aluminum and is screwed together with small hex bolts. Aluminium, weak GPS antenna, forest and clouds are not a great combo!

We forgot the key to the case at home and she could not get a good enough signal to play and guess what? The SC driver work on those tiny hexbolts to free her phone from its Faraday prison. Happy kid and happy dad who picked the right SAK for the day

Great uses Kottskrapa and SgtTowser! Getting the job done with the tools on hand and saving the day, proving how valuable these marvels of engineering are.  :hatsoff:

Yesterday my son asked if we could make a fishing pole from a project he saw in one of his books, so of course I said 'yes'! We used the saw on the Ranger Grip 55 to cut down a sapling, then I had him use the saw on his Evo Grip S17 to cut that down to size. Then I had him practice some stop cuts with the main blade to create a groove on the end of the pole to tie a length of string to. He used the scissors on his S17 to cut the string to size. I used the awl on my Swiss Champ to make a hole through the center of a wine cork so we could use it as a bobber/ float and the wire cutter on the pliers to cut down a paper clip and shape it to a hook. We had a lead weight from an old fishing kit that we placed between the cork and the hook and he tested it out in the pool out back. Next step is to sharpen the hook with the SC file and find some bait to use down at the lake.

I used the metal file to smooth off the burr created on my Fenix flash light when the light  ring snagged on my pocket as I withdrew it and the snagging caused  the ring hole in the flashlight to break! What a design flaw!!!! Anyway, I filed off this razor sharp piece of metal sticking up and now carry the light free in pocket bottom...until I find a better light.

How did I ever live without the Vic Champion Plus metal file?!!!!

Yes, I am getting use. But who ever heard of a flash light lanyard hole cracking open, when pulling it out of one’s pocket on a key chain? I bought the little Fenix on the recommendation of the fellow at Everyday Commentary, when it first came out, and I have gotten a lot of good out of it, but quite a freakish design failure. Anyway, I am now looking for a new keychain light with some throw force like the little Fenix. I want to go back to a more slender form factor and I want to be able to have a charging port, where I do not have to remove the battery to re-charge. I’m looking for something in the $40-60 range, not the $100-200 range. I want a flashlight. Not a mortgagelight.  :D

Echotech,

There ought to be a scientific, or anthropological, term for using a tool to access more tools of the same class of tools.

And it ought not be collecting, or obsession.  :D

How often are you using the light and for how long typically? I highly recommend Olight and Lumintop, but the specific models depend on your use cases and if you actually want it to like on your keychain.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like it on the key ring with an easy remove clip. I will check those two brands out.

Reinier,

I am getting serious Cybertool envy again. May have to spring for one. Which one of the Cybertools do you recommend, if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks in advance.

For me it will always be the 34 (currently known as Cybertool M). I like to have scissors which the smallest model lacks. Also, on the S or 29 I think the main blade nail nick is a bit hard to access due to the bit driver being in the way.
The L and Lite have a few tools I rarely use or need. Maybe if you need a metal saw the 41 is the one for you. I used to have one (maybe two :think:) but I never used it. It's a bit (pun intended) too big and heavy for me.

Yesterday (25th) I used my new Rebar (cheers Aloha  :cheers: ) and my FX to help a mate put up a couple of new trellis, attached to their existing fence.

The Rebar helped to remove the old Sky-Hooks, which were holding up something else, and the FX and it's Awlsome attachment made new holes.

It all went swimmingly well  :tu:

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

Oh, I’ve been thinking about getting a Swiss Champ actually, especially since there’s a topic going on SC vs CyberTool now, but that long slim Phillips is a game changer for me - I won’t be able to disassemble that old heater and many more things without it

Pool sweeper went on fritz. I had left  my thrift store Explorer with the broken scale on the fire ring by the pool earlier to dry out after giving it a second bath.  Took the old Explorer in the pool. Third bath.  In Line Phillips handled all the screws needing disassembly for diagnosis without me having to leave the pool. Then I sat on the pool steps and unstuck an obstruction in the passenger side gear housing. Then reassembled. Then took Sweep to patio table for tread replacement, because that’s where I had left them yesterday. Then reconnected sweep. Then had lemonade, because that’s what you drink, when life supplies lemons. Then decided this old Explorer is now my dedicated pool knife as is!!! I owe it a good home—mine. New scales? It don’t need no stinking new scales!!! Will start wearing my board shorts with pocket and carry the Explorer in the pool. We will see how long it takes for pool water to eat cellodon.

I fished out an old opened and barely used bottle of Glenlivet Nadurra (do prefer my 'livet in standard 12 guise or sometimes the archive 21 so this hasn't been touched in quite some time) and the cork broke in half like they sometimes do.

The corkscrew of SC was used in order to get half of cork out. Unfortunately the cork was so rotten than I ended up pushing most of it into the bottle.

Reckon the remaining 1/4 of the cork that remained will not not stop the whisky from vaporing for very long so I might be drinking more Nadurra in the near future ;)

Oops Though it’s all up to your needs - for me Cybertool has less reach that a slim Phillips on a Work Champ - I need it to be slim and get into tight places. If width and depth of the screw hole is not important to you - get a Cybertool

(Though you might regret it because Work Champ has a larger blade which is also locking and so on )

Is it the socket for the bit itself that is too wide? It appears long enough.  :dunno:

Whoa, don’t even know where to start

So I’m 33 today and my lady brought me this amazing Dremel 4300 as a gift - wanted it for years but just postponed it for some reason. Also I ordered this awesome Workstation for it to be even more useful and versatile
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201005/57448537ea269359c43250c21de9052c.jpg)

Luckily one of the laundry hangers broke at the balcony so I used my new Dremel to fix it. In order to do so I decided to drill a hole in a broken part and fasten it with a zip tie in addition to glueing. Here comes Work Champ - couldn’t pull the drill bit out and even cut two fingers trying without the pliers

Later that day I also finally got myself a new set of furniture to comfortably work from home - should have done so 6 months ago, but better late than never
Used Phillips a lot again in addition to the knife for unpacking parts and putting it all together

Happy Birthday, and a great Dremel set-up!!  Envious..
Thanks a lot

Here I come again

Our iron got all dirty in months after purchase for some reason and I started googling the possibilities of bringing it back to normal. To my huge surprise I came across a video that shows wiping a hot iron with... paracetamol pills I kept looking and found lots of similar statements, so went with it using Work Champ pliers to hold the pill

Though keep in mind that my head started aching so I opened the window and opened a respirator to block the fumes coming from melt paracetamol with a can opener on a Work Champ

Not saying that the Vic isn't up to the job... It's a matter of which Vic is up to which job, without compromising the structural integrity of said Vic. 

I used to use the chisel on the back of the Champ until I put micro screwdrivers in all of my corkscrews.

You used the tip of the blade as a screwdriver???  :o :sa:

That's a capital offense for any SAK user/lover  :twak:

Could have use the bottom tip of the can opener, or the tip of the tweezers, it would had worked just as good if not better for that.

That's the main reason why i don't let anyone borrow my SAK's...  :facepalm:

Always good to see the Forrester M Grip put to use.  I can spend hours fussing over 2-3 layer 111mm SAKs.  At that weight class, the details of scales, and thumb holes,  and back tools make a whole lot more difference

Rule #3- if you come here with the idea that you "will decide what is best use and job" for your tool... Keep it to yourself.

If you have glasses with a loosened screw, that IS an emergency situation!
In this situation with no other possisibility I would take the risk of ruining the point of my blade too.
That mini screw can be lost within seconds and renders your glasses useless.

BTW, it is a fact of life that written messages (blogs, e-mails etc.) always 'sound' harsher as they were intended to be. :think:

While I don't like the idea of using the blade tip as a screwdriver, I doubt it'd come to much if any harm used on glasses screws, with very occasional, emergency use. From Marko writing that "Vic was only tool in pocket" I got the impression that it wouldn't normally be his first choice.

In fact, I tried it just now with a Camper's blade and it worked just fine, no damage to see. It's a low torque task after all. Normally I use the Rambler's Phillips to tighten my glasses screws.

My glasses screws have a combination Phillips head with a full width slot. The can opener tip is too thick for the slot and the tweezer tip has a poor grip and can't get the screw tight enough.

Before today's experiment, I'd never contemplated using a SAK blade on any screw. However, before I got into SAKs, if I was out and about and there had no choice I'd use my old scout/camping knife's blade on very small Phillips screws. The tip always held up. It was a harder carbon steel blade, though. At home I'd use a proper SD.

Marko, if you're still following this this thread and your SAK has a corkscrew, I'd recommend getting a mini screwdriver to keep in it for these kinds of situations.  :)

I had put my Buck 55 knockoff through this sort of task more times than I can count.  Once I got the Cold Steel Voyager Tanto...  Many a screw was driven with the flat edge forward of the (non-existent) belly of the blade.

Ever since I got into SAKs, my mindset changed.  I suppose it's why I consider a SAK to be a type of multitool.

I'd expect the Cold Steel in particular to have a pretty hard blade. Did you damage it driving screws?

My first, long lost SAK - a Swisschamp - covered all major screwdriving likelihoods. When I got back into SAKs after losing my old camping knife I bought bought a Handyman paired with a Rambler, as well as a mini SD for the HM. Thus no need to use a blade on screws.

The horror of watching my boss use his single blade knife for all kinds of purposes was one of the prompts to buy him a Forester with mini SD for his birthday.

The CS blade held up ok but did have a couple of dings and burrs, but it just wasn't practical to use the way I was using it.  It would cam out with almost every turn (which is probably when the damage occurred).  The edge damage didn't bother me much because, it turned out, I didn't use that segment of the edge for anything else.   

At the time, I was using other blades for camping trips... But the one time I took it on  trip (I couldn't find or didn't have easy access to my other knives at the time for some reason) - the blade shape was so poorly suited for campsite tasks... I shelfed it once I got home.

Thus began my affair with the drop point, spear point and Kephart style blades.  My favorite camping lockback knife has a Kephart style blade... As does the Victorinox OHT if you aren't too strict in applying the forms.

I'm not sure where I was on my SAK journey toward monogamy at the time.  I most probably was using the LM Wave for EDC but left it home due to weight.

I'm kind of amazed how many people use SAKs, cellidor especially, for food prep.

Does it not make a mess of them? I've only done it a few times and had to wash them well afterwards... not sure I'd want the inside of the cellidor scales to be wet and possibly filled with food remains all the time.

Not such a problem with the alox models. But still, rather use kitchen cutlery that can be easily washed.

I do it all the time... But I suppose I'm selective about what I prepare, and how I use the blade..

It's usually for fruits and veg, sometimes for cheese and hard sausages like salami.  I use no more than the outer 2/3 of the blade so there's no grimy bits anywhere near the hinge. The blade gets an immediate and through wipe down, and then a wash when I can.

It hasn't been a problem, and I imagine it was an even more common practice years ago.

This evening I prepped my veges and tofu dinner with a Camper. While there are better knives for cutting cabbage quickly and efficiently it's little different to using a paring knife. I prefer the girth of the Camper's body as a handle. Not sure if I'd use it on fish.

I find the 93mm large blade a little thick for slicing. I've considered getting a stainless Opinel for the picnic box.

Any time you need a blade, the knife in your pocket is a convenient and practical choice. Isn't that why we carry them?  :)

It sounds like I need to test this observation in comparison to a 91mm.   I'm quite sure you're right about there being a difference, but I've never thought that I might prefer to use a thinner blade.   But of course, these things are habits, and we often live in blissful ignorance of better things. 

I highly recommend an Opinel #8 for the picnic box.

It sounds like I need to test this observation in comparison to a 91mm.   I'm quite sure you're right about there being a difference, but I've never thought that I might prefer to use a thinner blade.   But of course, these things are habits, and we often live in blissful ignorance of better things. 

I highly recommend an Opinel #8 for the picnic box.

As a general EDC for home and office work, it's just about right. I recently upgraded to a 1970s era Director.


I'm wanting to take the wood scales off a Travel Spray and put them on my Executive. It has the standard Cellidor, which advertises a company known for artificial knees and hips. Kinda embarassing. Problem is that A: Victorinox SHOULD have given us a wood Executive when they made those silly perfume bottles and B: those "silly perfume bottles" are rare and pricey since I don't think hardly anyone but SAK collectors bought the things.

They are nice. Unfortunately for the new technicians coming into the field it seems like you’re paying for the name these days. Still quality but feel quite over priced in comparison to others. Even craftsman has come along with steels that hold up like Snap On or Matco, and have lifetime warranties. You just don’t have the added feature of a tool truck coming to you.

Prior to mowing the lawn, I used the alox Soldier's flat SD to scrape a mass of dried grassy muck from the bottom of the lawnmower.

It sounds like I need to test this observation in comparison to a 91mm.   I'm quite sure you're right about there being a difference, but I've never thought that I might prefer to use a thinner blade.   But of course, these things are habits, and we often live in blissful ignorance of better things. 

I'd mentioned that I thought the 93mm large blade wasn't as good at slicing as thinner blades. Well, I can't remember what experience I based this opinion on, but I appear to be wrong. The last two evenings I've used said Soldier to prep my dinner. Within its size limit It's sliced veges as well as any good knife can. Even slicing a carrot very thinly is no trouble. The extra belly on the blade gives it a small edge in general performance over the flatter 91mm one.  :salute:

Used tweezers on Vic Champ plus to dig out ocean sand and grit from an old Luminox 3000/3900 watch I picked up for $10 in a Thrift Store, installed a battery in, and now will dedicate to water duty.

I had to do something I've never done before, lay carpet, but see, I’ve laid your normal 12ft wide carpet a bunch of time this time they were like 2ft x 2ft squares that even had a strip of tape on the back,
Anyway I get the whole room done in about an hour and half, and the last piece is missing a mini corner so odd shaped, so I had to take a scrap piece and use my PioneerX’s scissors and cut the shape and stuck it to the floor!

That’s a good tip!  :iagree:
Had to google to understand...

A simple and inexpensive way to remove rust from and polish chrome surfaces by hand is to rub it with aluminum foil dipped in salt water. This process yields two advantages. First, since the aluminum foil is softer than steel, it will not scratch the surface. And second, a by-product of the process produces a fine metal polishing compound that smoothes the chrome surface to a bright shine.

How Does this Work?
Rust is basically oxidized metal. As heat is generated by the friction of rubbing the aluminum foil on the chrome, a portion of the aluminum will also oxidize to produce aluminum oxide. Aluminum has a higher reduction potential (a tendency take on electrons and in the process reduce or break itself down) than the chrome, and will therefore leech oxygen atoms away from any rust on the chrome surface, which changes the chemical properties of the rust and breaks it down

I lost the small spacer in the cap of my Fisher bullet pen a couple of days ago and finally got tired of wiping off ink blobs so I used my Champion Plus to fashion a makeshift one to replace it. First I used the pen cap to punch a plug out of a pink eraser then I used the Champion's awl to bore a hole through the plug for the tip and finally I used the small blade to cut and shave the new spacer to fit. Tamping the spacer in was accomplished with the pen body and the fish scaler. Time will tell if it keeps working but no new blobs so far.

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

I replaced a surveillance camera that had died.

This camera is in a spot that is hazardous to reach because it is on the side of a hill and it is easy to slip on the loose dirt and fall.

I had to have one hand free to keep me upright and since the camera was in one hand, I did not have a free hand to take my tool bag. I had my Cybertool 41 in my pocket which I figured would be good enough.

The Cybertool driver worked great removing the old camera and attaching the new one. This camera has an SD card and I used the bottle opener to get the SD card to pop out by pushing the card in farther (spring mechanism). After the card popped out, the pliers were able to grab it since it only popped out about 1/8 inch.

Thanks to the Cybertool, I didn't have to risk falling or making a second trip for my tools. I told my wife about it and she said, "Uh huh..." and went back to checking Facebook. So I figured I would tell someone who would care.

Used a tiny screwdriver that usually hides within a corkscrew for the final assembly of my grandpa’s razor I’ve been restoring lately

For those interested this is what it looked like before I made a handle out of a piece of ash and polished the blade

I have a box / tote that’s made for the Dremel that has a vice and pole to hang it from and tool bit storage, and that’s about as big as my workstation is, even though I have my other workbench and a two car garage.. I so wanted to get one of those all in one units that you can disassemble and it turns from a drill press into a lathe and other tools..

Just used the Aale on my Cybertool L to put a hole between the first and the second hole of my aftermarket Apple Watch leather wristband: it’s got the issue that it’s to wide on the second hole, but sometimes to thigh on the first hole and sometimes my wrist change it’s size so I had to adjust it often..
So I hope now it’s got enough spare space so it’s fits now

Lovely SAK! What insert do you use in your Zippo? I use the Vector Thunderbird insert for mine mostly because I like a soft flame and striker wheel, but the case fit is less than ideal. The Zippo brand insert fits like a glove (as it should!) but they don't offer a soft flame version  :twak:

I have both Thunderbird and a Zippo. 

I just bought this one by yusud (found on Amazon) because it has both soft flame and torch in the same insert.  It seems to fit nicely.  The striker wheel is smaller and a little squishy in rotating, so sometimes requires 2-3 rotations to light.  I do like the reservoir being metal vice plastic.  Overall it does seem to work as advertised, but only time will tell how well it lasts.

Found and added to my wish list, I'd be very interested in an update after some more experience with it  :tu:

Does it fit well? I hat to put a piece of kitchen roll inside my case to make the Thunderbird not move around too much when striking (and preventing a smooth close as a result). It still happens mind you, just not as much...

The fit is a little loose, but not enough to come out on own and it still closes up tight.  I don’t think it impacts the function.  If it does end up seeming like an issue, I think a wrap of electrical tap around the body below the lip would solve.

Yesterday I used the Swisschamp's small blade to cut label slots in plant pots. The alox Soldier took care of matted roots growing through the bottoms of some pots. Said knife is well suited for this sort of mucky job as it's easily washed afterwards.

The Soldier cut pallet wrap later. Forget show-off things like shaving arm hair and slicing cigarette papers! In my life, a smooth, non-snagging cut of a single layer of plastic pallet wrap is the real test of a blade's sharpness.

Rescued a snake from a Neighbour’s yard. Needed to put a few breather holes in the lid. SC awl was put into service.  :salute:
Harmless brown house snake, and had recently snacked on what was probably a small rat. Will be released in a safe area.  :cheers:

I used the fish scaler on my Swiss Champ to open the lock on the paper towel dispenser in our restroom at work. It was a simple lock, but the cleaning people have the key to it and we needed to refill. I had it open in less than 3 seconds and found another use for a tool that I swore for years I could live without and stayed away from the Swiss Champ for that very reason. Now I'm having fun finding reasons to use it!

Sometimes the most specific tools are found to be the most generic. Like the corkscrew, the scaler ends up being rarely used for its primary purpose, but often ends up being ideal for the most unusual needs.

I used my fish scaler (on the Fisherman) this morning, during a Lego discussion with our little girl - the ruler proved exactly what was needed and, being on my belt, was far more convenient than trying to find one of the stationery rulers somewhere in the house :)

It’s been a while since I started this project but couldn’t really finish it until today.

I ordered an Nvidia Jetson Nano - a small yet really powerful computer that is designed to help getting into machine learning.

I ordered a case, an external SSD, a WiFi module for it and, a power supply and a fan.

Here comes trouble - everything arrived within a few weeks from either US or China to Ukraine except for the fan. It took almost a month, but when I finally received it - there was some kind of ugly women’s dress instead of my fan. Amazon provided a no-questions-asked refund, but I had to wait for another 3 weeks to finally get that fan. Been thinking of finding one here, but had zero luck with it.

Finally today the long Work Champ Phillips and pliers helped me to get the assembly done and I’am ready to start programming. Sadly I planned to dive into this during my vacation which is already gone due to this mail error

Used the Philips driver on my Explorer to take apart the door knobs on a couple of interior doors I was painting, the bottle opener to pry loose a few stubborn parts of said door knobs and the small blade to trim up some tape on the hinges. While painting I noticed that one of the bristles of the paintbrush had come loose and was stuck in the fresh coat. I thought about just leaving it there, as no one else was likely to see it, but it would gnaw at me for the rest of my days. So I pulled the straight pin from the Explorer's plus scales and delicate removed the offending eyesore.

Used the awl on the 01 solider I keep on my work bench when modifying my crosman 1377 barrel band accept a longer barrel. I didn't have a 7/16 drill bit so I used the largest I had and used the awl to enlarge the hole. Worked very well, can't tell it was not just drilled out. Pretty much everyone here has seen a soldier so here is a photo of what I was working on.

It’s not only for bottles - today I opened a can of salad made by my mother recently out of eggplant mixed with various vegetables

Something you can’t quite do with a LM can opener since it’ll drill the cap (trust me I’ve tried )

Good to know it worked. When that happens to the tank cover, or even the driver's side door I usually resort to brute force.  Once I even needed help from a stronger good Samaritan who was nearby.

I've been using the corkscrew to unseal jars in the kitchen... Sometimes it's the only way I can get the jar open.   :rant:

Today... That didn't work as usual  :think:

I think I normally use a Swisschamp for this, but today I used a Compact. I couldn't turn the corkscrew enough without the handle getting in the way.  It didn't pop the seal, but might have loosened the lid a bit because I was able to twist the top off on a last ditch effort.

Well... You win some and you lose some... And sometimes you're just not sure.

I used the reamer on my sandbox Spartan today. I hit a nail with the woodmizer while quartersawing red oak. So I used the reamer to probe around and dig out the wood around the nail and see what direction it lay in the cant. The nail proved to lie radial to the log (and that angle matched my cut nearly 100%), so I was able to determine it was safe to drop down and simply cut another board off, with the nail lying safely sideways imbedded in it.

Well. Now I have glue 1cm down the blade and it's never coming off.  :facepalm:

Acetone removes superglue. Don't get any on the scales. The glue contains acetone, you'll recognize the powerful smell. Ventilation is a good thing. Can usually find acetone at hardware stores. It works great as a degreaser when needing to glue 2 oily objects together. Like tropical woods that are naturally oily even on their surface.

Well, I used my Spartan in the kitchen today for the first time....I made chicken and sausage gumbo--it's still cooking, actually! I opened the smoked sausage with the large blade, and sliced it up too. I also found the corkscrew finally has a use--works great for opening frozen vegetable packages...I poked it in, and simply ripped, and it made a nice rip right along the bag. Yes, a blade would have done that too, but since I don't drink wine, my corkscrew needs to come up with some creative uses! Then, to crown it off, I opened 3 cans with the can opener. Good deal.

Ok, well. To get this thread back on track....question is, what did i use my SAK on today?

I took my Spartan and Esquire to work with me at the sawmill. Since my Spartan is missing its TnT, the Esquire is an an amazing compliment to the Spartan's spartan bag of tricks. And today, what did I need to use at work? My fingernail file, since I tore my thumb nail on a board. Esquire to the rescue. Other than that, I don't remember using the SAK's at work.

When I got home, my wife wanted me to hang a broom organizer thingy on the bathroom wall. I used my Spartan's reamer/punch/awl to make the holes for the screws to start in, in the fiberboard wall. Then I started all the screws (phillips) with the can opener sd tip. However, it was really awkward due to the shape of the organizer rail, so I ended up resorting to a regular phillips screwdriver.  :-\

I used the scissors on my Esquire to cut some black plastic strapping at the sawmill. Could have used the blade, but decided to sciss instead. Having said that, I'm not a huge fan of scissors. I just wanted to see whether they would cut it easily. They did.

If you're like me, that regular screwdriver (bottle opener) doesn't get much love, so yeah, kudos for finding a use for it.
 
Ironically I attached used the regular screw driver today for opening a battery compartment on a piece of kit at work, first time used in ages !!
Also the main blade was borrowed by a friend to cut some Swiss role she had brought in. Her words  “I know you’ll have your knife on you”

So today, I used my Spartan's unfavored bottle opener attachment to gingerly reconfigure my bandsawmill blades in their box. They had gotten out of wonk in a dangerously smurfworthy manner, and I had to put them back in wonk ( wait, is that a thing?  :facepalm: ) so I could close the box again. Naturally I didn't want one of those blades to spring out of there and lacerate me, so I very cautiously pried them back down in to snuggle together the way they came from the factory.

Note--the picture was taken AFTER I and the Spartan caused the unwonky blades to behave. Also, the blades are teeth-side-down in the box, in case you were naturally wondering where the vicious gashworthy teeth were.

I used Spartan's bottle opener today, too. To unscrew a hose clamp on the drain pipe of my kitchen sink.

Side note: 2020 threw everything at me including the kitchen sink. Which clogged up on New Year's Eve Day. I worked on it today.

I also used can opener to open plastic package of the new set of channel locks I bought to deal with the plumbing.

So you see I used both openers in one day. That's impressive, for me anyway.

Had the Ranger helping me with building a work bench in the garage. Used the main blade for opening some new tools and packages, making some cutting guides for the very thin flush saw, rounding some inside corners, and sharpening my pencil. Also used the wood saw for some little trims here and there, as well as the file on the metal saw for touch-ups.

And because I know this forum likes tools and projects, I've thrown in some photos of some of my tools used (I quite like Irwin these days!) and the nearly finished bench. Quality control cat is still inspecting. The only power tool I used was a drill -- everything else done by hand (lot of hand sawing).

Nix,

I’m retired, so I get to wear Carhartt, Duluth trading company, 511, and Rail Ryder pants every day. This alone makes retirement worth not having killed myself years ago. Long zipper fly. Deep heavy pockets. Duck that feels good on my hairy legs. A knife pouch for my flipper. And a 91 SAK at the bottom of each pocket. I feel like two gun Pete. No matter which hand I’m using, my free hand can get to a SAK. Sounds eccentric, and I set off metal detectors, but...

I know, it’s only SAK and roll/
But I like it, like it, yes, I do!

Have a happy new year!

P.S.: Still love Filson, but the designer prices just don’t make sense.

Been carving/whittling a bit with the Spartan on some box elder wood--borrowed my daughter's Huntsman to use the saw....kind of excrutiating to make those cuts, but made it through. Keep wondering how I would know if one of the saws became dull, and how I would sharpen it, if possible....

I once bought a used Camper with a dull saw. It should feel sticky sharp to the touch, and you should see no flat shiny spots when held under a light. I used a small, triangular shaped stone. The edges were marked up with a black permanent marker so I could see what was being stoned. It was an evening of tedium but I succeeded. A year later, Felix put out this video. Hope this helps.

More and more, I'm using one of my ROTS's* to do 2 things:

1. Open packages of used knives that come from Ebay. (I usually use the can opener to open boxes, and the small blade to open envelopes).

2. Pry open stuck blades and tools in the other used knives I buy. I usually use the bottle opener for that. The big flathead screwdriver pries against the fingernail nicks quite nicely, and can also pull out stuck tweezers and toothpicks.

As you can imagine, my fingernails are taking a huge beating these days, so,

3. The Esquire, or one of the random Classics, or a Sportsman that came in the mail, get to have a whack at them.

Right? The wing nuts on the battery cover of my sawmill tend to rust tight. I can pry them loose with my thumb and finger, but that hurts with pain. So I got enlightened and used the bottle opener on my Farmer as a wingnut wrench. One of those aha moments. Or maybe I should call it an Alox Moment.

And I began carving a new scale for one of my ROTS. (Rugged Old Trusty Spartan). I used local black walnut that I cut myself on the sawmill. I have done all the cutting and carving work so far with my SAK's, namely my Hunter, Ranger, and Farmer, although I could have done everything with the Ranger. I used the Ranger's metal file to rasp the surface to smooth it down a bit. In case you're wondering, I made it extra thick to safely accommodate a T&T (I have not made the slots yet, wish me luck), and to fill the knife out better in my hand. (2 layer knives are just too skinny for me).

If this works well, I may make some out of other local hardwoods, including magnolia, holly, sweetgum, sycamore, and persimmon, to name a few.

Well, I’m currently using the FarmerX because I’m attempting to make a pancake sheath with a fold over flap for it, the other piece of leather is currently soaking in the sink so I can stretch it over the FarmerX, so I took a pic,,

Thanks, not even close! That leather is saturated and being clamped between two pieces of wood isn’t helping it dry any faster, yet I did put it over a air duct so every time the heat comes on it will warm it up a little, maybe by tomorrow afternoon it will be mostly dry? We’ll see,

Got to shopping in a bit but I was able to take the form apart to see how wet and how the leather formed overnight, got one little wrinkle at the bottom that I might be able to work out, other then that it’s about 80% dried out, if not more, so I think I should be able to work on it by the time we get home from shopping,
The other thing I did was took my sak out of the bag I had it wrapped up in so I could wear it, but I took the two pieces of leather and pressed them tight to the table so I could see how it would fit and it slid in smooooth! :D Screw the wrinkle, if I finally get a perfect fit sheath that I made that works who cares about a little wrinkle?

Unfortunately I ended up cutting the one piece to short, so rather then waiting it I figured why not just make one without the flap? So that’s getting glued, but as of now I had to use the FarmerX again and put it back in the press for round #2 for making another front, already made another back with the flap, made it about another 3/4” longer too just in case,, so here’s the sak at work getting pressed with leather,, again..
JR

Oh and the original where I cut the front too short where the flap wouldn’t reach, so it got cut to make just a simple pancake,,
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: MadPlumbarian on February 02, 2021, 11:53:44 PM
Update,,
I finally got time, so I carefully lined everything up and checked it about three more times then cut it to fit,, and there it is.. I then roughed up the backside of each piece and lathered them up with glue, made sure everything’s good about three times and then put it in the press! So it will sit till tomorrow or the next day,
I also took the one I screwed up on and smoothed out the sides and cut the belt holes, so not that’s ready for the stitching..

So today the Ranger's scissors got to do some "pinch-hitting."

I'm always fouling up the black plastic strapping when I strap the lumber stacks together. I use the scissors rather than a knife blade to clip the strapping when I want to reuse it. When hyperstressed, the strapping splits. I have to clip it back beyond the split and splice it with a clip. I find the scissors work better than a knife blade when you want a clean solid remnant that is strong enough to splice. The knife can exacerbate the split or start a new one, potentially. Scissors seem to make a more professional edge. (or maybe I just imagine it).  ???

Oh, btw, 5 points to whomever can guess or figure out what kind of wood the strapping and Ranger are resting on.....

No real use of the Vic in general but I think it´s ok.
I am working in a mechanical workshop and everybody has gotten a Victorinox Alox Electrician.
Today my workmate wants to cut a pice of rope, but unfortunately it was a wire rope with fabric sheathing. :facepalm:
So it was time to give the blade a little sharpening service.
I took two pictures before and two pictures after sharpening the blade.

Nice Weekend to all of you. :cheers:

Used Vix Work Champ and a LM Signal to make a power extension cord.

Of course, it all starts with that beloved long Phillips for the outlet disassembly
(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
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210206/6b0cae4f60521c5029571c1e190cf1ea.jpg)

My new-to-me Watchmaker's case opener blade got used as intended to see what battery my Granddad's cheaper, modern non-waterproof Bulova used, since he asked me to change it.  It's not a high-end watch like my Vic, so I decided to use it to try the case opener blade. It works really well! I had to use more length of the blade, since the first watch I'd tried it on (an old, old Timex that was worn out, and really didn't work) was round, this one was square.

It may need to go to Vic--the whole butt end of the knife where the case opener pivots is squished and mushroomed, meaning this blade doesn't really snap.I suspect it got dropped--from several feet. But, the Alox version is no longer made, mine is an advertising variant, and well, the plastic-handled versions aren't really expensive.  I may end up replacing it in-use (retiring it to the collection) with the Renata-branded version the source for my watch stuff sells, since it has nylon handles, and also, not so skinny it keeps falling down to the bottom in the manuals slot of my Wenger watch box, where I like to store it.

Some of you might think this is a little bit too much information, but I used one of my ROTS (Ragged Old Trusty Spartans) to get my vienna sausages out of the can today. I found the bottle opener / flat driver works great for stabbing into the side of the viennas and lifting them out of the can and into my mouth. I could have used the knife blade, but the driver gave less risk of slicing the vienna off....or slicing my mouth by accident somehow. It was totally adequate for the task and kept me from getting the barbecue sauce on my fingers.

It's used for both the drink and the meal here, which can seriously confuse outsiders. Although, if someone's making you a cup of tea, it's more likely to be called a brew.

Very nice scales there, Tinner! Ever figure out how to make the TnT slots? I would think that would be the hardest part. But some people do it.... I have one here that has TnT in wood. I don't know for sure who made it.

Thanks Jim! I haven’t got the slots figured out. This was my first attempt at SAK scales, though I have made handles for other knives. The method I used for these was heavy material subtraction via sanding after I had the wood epoxied to the knife.
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?

Drove some metal fence posts (not with the SAK!); then strung some wire for the berry bushes to creep on. Bent and crimped some wire around posts with the CT-L pliers that I later cut with my wire cutters mentioned elsewhere.

Next I cut some orange Lara cord to tie a tarp over a second hand table saw from the 20th century I picked up at a garage sale.

Also, I covered the table saw top with heavy grease to discourage rust, and naturally had to use the Executive to clean under the fingernails after wash up!!!

Turns out the Cybertool is good for garden tending and the Executive is good for working hands! SAKs r FLEXIBLE!

Figured it’s time to contribute to this awesome topic.  this past weekend, I had the dubious “pleasure” to take care of a long overdue plumbing project.  No in-depth action shot but the old Woodsman helped open some packages and remove the cover from the PEX crimper.

Used super glue to bubba rear licence plate (plastic screw had failed and had no replacement at hand).
SAK needed for opening the package and piercing the tube
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210313/98ed48606e13fb559fb85e7d84e3b35d.jpg)

Once I got going with super glue I also reglued a failed shower head holder at ladies shower room, SAK used for working the surface a bit.

While on the roll I used the small screwdriver to install new screen for SWMBO and after lunch used the screwdriver again. This time for changing house sign lightbulb of my mother in law’s house

So, a good SAK day methinks :)

I'm constantly using my SAK scissors to cut the invoice papers to send in my knives. I print the invoice first, and it takes up about 1/6 of the page. Then I flip the paper, put it back in the printer, and print the shipping label. (To save paper). Then I use SAK scissors to cut the two apart and trim the label for taping on. Lately I've been reaching for a Super Tinker a lot for this task. I also open a lot of packages this way.

Got a Tinker and a Kershaw ready for the mail last night.

If it had pliers and an in line Phillips and a cap lifter opposite the Phillips called an EXECUTIVE XL all other knives might become obsolete.

As is often the case at the sawmill, I used my Ranger to  guide the sawblade in reverse over the cut end of the cant. I used to use the bottle opener for that, but after catching my tweezers on the log and seeing them go springing into the muddy sawdust, never to be recovered a few weeks ago, today I tried using the can opener to guide the blade, and it did just fine.

Used the Cybertool L to disassemble an Endura Travel Clock made in West Germany likely in late 1940s/1950s. It was not ticking and the alarm pointer would not move. Just needed a little unskilled love, and reassembly and, Voila! She’s ready to travel!!!  I love these old folding travel clocks. Real leather cases. Beautiful face designs often with Art Deco-Bauhaus blending. Hand painted numbers.  Basic but durable mechanisms and shiny work. And they don’t require a battery. So: if you have your solar powered wrist watch (or really reliable automatic that ticks overnight without overnight motion) and this little guy in your roller, you are good to go and catch any train or plane! They are also kind of fun to collect, too, because they have wide variety and collectors mostly only pay high prices for the truly unusual models with a clock and radio, etc. And they are “mechanical” and so a break from e-world. A SAK and a  travel clock straddle the analog and digital age as useful tools

At the range today, I overheard a guy ask a couple friends if they had a screwdriver.  After hearing both friends say “no”, I volunteered the fact that I did.  The guy looks at me and says “you don’t, do you?”  I produce the SAK from my pocket to a shocked face.  After looking at it, I get “she has the tools”.

In my opinion driving, manipulating and shooting wheel gun fast and well is much more trickier than bottom feeder. Long pull DA triggers, mechanically complicated reloads and limited capacity being the main reasons.

However, I also believe that as a self defence gun for person with limited experience/possibility to train/etc. a revo might be safer and better option.
Furthermore, in the hands of someone who knows his craft, a wheel gun can even this day and age of tactical tupperware be very, very effective tool. Business end of a say .357 mag or .44 is not a joke when the operator is on top of his game

I'm old, slow and left handed. Mr Slim Dusty might say 'he's getting kinda jaded, his sight is not the best and the hair around his muscles's turning gray..' so for me it is a question of style and panache ;)
Wheel guns are just cool in my book.

I feel deep kinship with anyone that finds uses for the undersides of eye level wall cabinets Andes  shelves within them—the greatest expanse of undeveloped, free real estate in the world.

I really like that you keep your SAKs under the shelf and likely will be emulating you shortly. Thanks for sharing the SAK hanger idea.

What is the trick to make them stand up on the shelf?

In the interest of sharing, here is an old idea dating many generations back you probably already know, but on the chance you do not, here goes...

A friend keeps jars (uses jam jars with standardized lid diameter and varied bottle heights), washes them, re-labels them for category of contents, screws the lid to the undersides of his wall cabinet shelves over his work bench and screws and unscrews the jar to the affixed lid. He arranges them alphabetically. Every time he adds a new jar, he re-arranges the bottles to maintain alphabetized order. The guy can find every screw, bolt, nut, grommet, washer, picture frame hanger, staple, lag bolt, doo-dad, and so on, He even has a miscellaneous jar. He finds anything in 10 seconds, or knows he doesn’t have it. He swears by it. I have not imitated him, because the last ten years I have stopped building things from scratch, The few loose screws, etc. I just keep in a few coffee cans “on” a shelf. But now that I am re-starting building a few things, I am collecting my jars, and preparing to copy his inventory system.

Have a great day and thanks for sharing the SAK hanger. I may have even been inspired to frame in the hanging area and add a locking door. But then, I would want to see them and glass hardly would secure them. Maybe I will find some bullet proof glass, or go to the automobile junk yard and get some safety glass from cars and fashion a window frame that secures them from grand kids and thieves, yet lets me see them.

I take it that the OHT is a usual carry? The nail nick version was a favourite of mine for a while. Love the long blade and heavy duty locking flat SD.

My granddad was a huge fan of Slim Dusty and used to sing his songs in his dance band, way back from the 1940s to 1960s.

OHT
Open three beers with the bottle opener
Cut tomatoes and a lemon with the knife
Removed a rusty nail from wood using the bottle owner as a prybar etc
Used a toothpick to clean the sak itself

And surprised to see Mr Slim Dusty recognised beyond this rather large island...

Well I have been to your rather large island before....

I picked up an affinity for folk music from all countries, and especially for Aussie bush music. I never made it up to the Plains of Peppiminarti, but I hear that every day's a Sunday there.....

But is there still a  dog in v’randa waiting for his master?

I stumbled into Slim Dusty a roundaboug way. My misspent youth contained a lot, and I mean a lot of reading. At some point I read Banjo Paterson and it went from there..

I built a custom SAK about a month ago that is now my daily carry.  I've really enjoyed it.  I seem to use screwdrivers more than I think normal people do, due to my tinkering, makering, 80 year old house, etc.


Here it is tightening a loose door handle.  It's great to be able to just whip it out, screw around, and carry on.

Had to change a hard drive in an old mac book.

Used my XLT for every step: Philips #0 while opening and closing the machine and also while removing and fastening the hard drive. Had to use the pliers with one screw which got stuck. When I tried to put it back together there was a problem with the hard drive bumper. Had to file away some plastic - otherwise the screws won't match their corresponding holes.

After that little exercise I used the scissors on a package for breakfast.

Used Cybertool pliers to pluck price/inventory staples out of cedar slats for raised planter boxes.

Used the metal saw/file tool in CT to file off a burr left after hacksawing off a screw point. Metal saw edge needs cutting improved. File is quite good. Vic needs to improve cutting of metal saw to be equal to the effectiveness of the file; then I could junk my hack saw, along with my file.

Pliers on SAKs have become so frequently used that I wish Vic would add them to any 2 layer model to become a 3 layer. A Tinker with pliers would be super. For example, I used to pry staples out with the cap lifter’s tip, but the pliers is so much easier and faster!

Ah, good point. It is on a CT sold late 2019. Looks stainless, but I haven’t visually compared it to my old Champion file yet, which used to saw off screws more easily.

The deluxe Tinker is the next SAK I’m going to pick up, because I like to carry two SAKs each one with pliers, so I can ply from both ends, or choose the optimal tool to drive on either tool, and ply with the other. This is even more desirable to me now that I have expanded my driver opportunity set on my Cypertool with a Wiha 4mm to 1/4” converter. Presently I carry a CYBERTOOL L and an S557 Wenger, which gives me exceptional flexibility of wrenching/driving choice, and exceptional  tool density, as well as one 91mm form factor and one 84mm form factor. But with the expanded sockets and drive tips the converter allows on the CT, I can afford to cut back layers from the S557 to a DELUXE Tinker. But what I would really like is just a Tinker with a plier layer added, OR my ultimate ideal—a 111mm OHO Sentinel with a plier layer added to it.

I have tried carrying a 111mm Work Champ with my CT and it’s just too much knife load out for my taste, though I really like the big blade and big pliers.

CT-L with a Sentinel with a big plier layer added would be SAK Nirvana for me.

In never need two scissors. I never need two can openers and two cap lifters. I don’t need two parcel hooks and two awls. And so on. But I do need two pliers and one hand opening on at least one of my two knives.

This is why I weaned off my leatherman tools and my  “real” tools and came full circle back to SAKs. If I were still working with money riding on things, then I would pack a leatherman, and a Wiha 11 in One set, plus all my tool boxes, plus god only knows what other new stuff exists I don’t even know about.

But I’m retired. And my goal has been to lean down to a tool set that frees me of as much stuff as possible. Two SAKS, one in each pocket, does it.  I love my CT-L in one pocket and my WENGER S-557 in the other. No clips. No nursery knife. Every tool on both are visible with a quick flip. No unfolding this and opening that. No opening and closing a tool box. No rummaging through other tools to find the tool I want. Either I fix it right then, which I usually do, or speed dial some one else to solve it. If I’m bored, I’ll go to my real tools, otherwise it’s fix now, or speed dial. I can’t believe how often I use my two SAKs and how rarely stuff hangs over my head anymore. My way won’t work for those that want to McGuyver every situation, or that HAVE to go get their real tools, both proving their skill and resourcefulness. I respect that. I just have nothing left to prove. I carry tools now solely to keep things from hanging over my head.

Just. Use. The. Tool.

NOW!

Or...

Speed dial.

I can’t tell ya how much more I enjoy my days, when I no longer feel I have to fix everything.

Theres probably a 2 SAK user thread somewhere around here you'd be interested in.  That's a well planned system you have.  Reading this, I was going to suggest a 111mm... but it seems you already thought of that.

I used to carry a Leatherman- it was just what I needed.  The bonus was, I didn't need a separate knife.  Maybe I never needed one... but it was nice to carry the One Thing.   I moved o to SAKs because I didnt need pliers, and SAKs were more versatile for what I was doing. 

The thing is - choices.... too many choices among SAKs for my little mind to compute.   Picking two just doesn't work for me - Maybe one day, but not at this point in my life.

Blade and scissors get used several times a day in an office setting.  Lots of boxes, packages and things to cut/open/etc.  the blade is quite handy when cutting the plastic ribbon wrapped around a big box of printer paper.

And almost every week or month I use my SAK to cut open a package that I received in the mail that usually contains....another SAK.  :ahhh

Why would I need that?

Well I mentioned earlier here somewhere that I bought for me and my lady a Withings Sleep Analyzer - a really interesting piece of technology if you ask me.
The only downside to it is that it requires a solid surface under your mattress to function as intended. We have a slatted frame and the manual says it can be used, but you should place something on top of it to provide a solid surface. The manual suggested a piece of cardboard, but I had a few floor laminate planks left over and they seem to be of a perfect width, so only length should have been adjusted.

So iPhone was used to take the approximate measures

And afterwards here come my Dremel friends

None, as long as you kept your gloved hands away from the moving parts....

Now, me, I practically never wear gloves, unless it's for wamth, like when it's below freezing out. And it's rarely below freezing where I live now.

I go bear-handed all day long, and that includes changing chainsaw chains, sawmill blades, and handling barbed wire and blackberry bushes. I've just learned not to grab things where the sharp parts are. I find gloves very clunky and snagworthy, and they keep me from feeling my work. I don't have much strength in my hands (for my size and weight), and so I need to intelligently feel where I'm putting pressure on stuff, to keep from dropping it or having it slip out of my hands. Strangely my hands are not calloused, but it's for that same reason....I don't grip anything very tightly, only tightly enough to keep from dropping it.

Update: oh well, I’ve read the above. It might make sense, but my gloves are really tight fitting and I tend to stay away from any moving parts :)

About the glove thing and also sweaters and shirts, I remember when I started working me and a friend was using a drill press and this old fart comes over yelling at us and stopping the drill, young and foolish we just looked at him and wondered what his problem was. Then he told the story of him being young and like us.

This was a time before emergency stop buttons I might ad, but he did some work with a drill press over lunch and his glove got stuck in the drill and got a good take on his shirt making his arm go right in to the drill and chuck. He could not reach the stop button but had to scream for help and it took some time before his coworkers got to him. Then he showed us his scar going from the wrist up to the armpit where the chuck just spun around. Wasn't a pretty sight and we got the point.

I have NEVER had gloves or any fabric around rotating tools after that, I always pull me sleeves up no matter what I'm working on. This staid in my head really good and got an unpleasant remainder when a coworker got stuck like that a couple of years ago. He did pretty fine and just broke his arm.

No pics but a fun use yesterday.
Needed to use a jack, howver the retaining pin that allowed us to pump the jack up had lost its small clip and kept falling out. This led to us all looking around for a small nail or screw that could be used just to get the job done. Nothing was found and this was a bit of an issue until I remebered that I had upgraded all my knives to plus scales and therefore had .... THE PEN. This fitted perfectly and allowed us to get the job done.
Another win for the climber!!  :climber: :climber: :climber:

 :D Not sure the tooth pic may have worked but I am quite junior on that team so figured I d play my best card first !! It actually didnt bend at all. Granted its use was to stop another part falling out and I don't think it actually had any weight on it but I am still calling it a win !!

Used my trusty Wenger Standard Issue 87 on my Stihl chainsaw. The locking flat head works wonders for the tune up. If you're familiar with the old Stuhls they kinda have to have a little gas dropped in them before getting going. But once going they are beasts. Mine is like 30+ years old I believe from some research. Cuts like a dream.

Built a rolling planter box and topped it with a pvc box. Covered  top and two  sides with shade cloth. Used my SAK to cut 5/8”drip lines, awl to punch holes for 2gal per hour drip disks, and a section of quarter inch line for overhead misters. Then spliced in a couple valves. Could not find my irrigation tool box with the plastic tubing  cutter (talk about a cutting tool I would like to see added to a SAK) and hole punch. Job done. Assorted vegetables sprouted and happy in their cool, moist micro environment in the arid west where it hit 93 yesterday. Finished under the stars by the Big Rock Candy Mountains where...

“In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains“
—Harry McKlintock, The Big Rock Candy Mountain

I have to build 5 more, but this was the prototype and so the rest will go faster.

Cool find. Let us know if u find a maker’s mark. Have you ever metal detected a lesser US Civil War battlefield? I have always wondered if the lesser ones have been gone over?

The OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY has an online access to THE OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE WAR OF THE REBELLION (OR) that I used for Civil War research I did at one time. If you have not used the OR, it is a compilation of millions of Union and CSA war records completed around 1900 based on the decision of Union President Lincoln and Union General Halleck to use triplicate carbon paper for ALL communications by the Union government and its military. Lincoln and Halleck understood going in that the US WAR OF THE REBELLION could result in countless war time actions that could after the war lead to all manner of legal disputes and legal actions afterwards. Lincoln, the lawyer, wanted a paper trail that could either be used to defend his and the Union’s actions, or that could be altered/sanitized as need might later be.

Anyway, for 3/4s of a century at least the hard copy of the OR was so voluminous and so difficult to search that many war historians either only skimmed its surface, or ignored it entirely in writing even the most supposedly  “exhaustively researched” accounts of the US CIVIL WAR.

But then the internet came along and most if not all of the OR was scanned into an OR data base that can be searched to some degree by key words.

This is all a long preamble for giving you a metal detecting suggestion.

Obviously metal detecting a famous battlefield (e.g., Gettysburg, etc.) enshrined and preserved, as a national monument, would either not permit metal detecting, or where permitted, already long have been picked over by metal detectors.

But when One wades through the OR, one finds countless orders and memos from one officer to another  about tiny skirmishes, or raids, or temporary encampments, and these often report the route recently followed and the route that will next be taken. Often, the locations and routes are of utterly no consequence to Civil War historians writing mostly about big battles and about famous persons. But each of these locations, particularly sizable encampments stayed at for several days likely would have a debris/artifact    scatter that often would have been flooded, and lost to the eye in ensuing years, since armies then tended to encamp near water sources for themselves and their horses.

Likely foragers and scavengers trails along Sherman’s March to the sea have long been metal detected; same with the various approach paths to Gettysburg. But there were literally tens of thousands of encampments by both sides never mentioned in history books nor marked by battle monuments that metal detectors likely have not swept.

We need to know much more empirically about the US Civil War to understand what really happened during and shortly after that fateful time. I believe the future of our country lay in a much more empirically based understanding of the time. We have the incredible opportunity to converge  Geographic information systems with geology, topo maps,  mineral surveys, rail/Telegraph maps, farm land maps, battle maps, and artifact scatters to demythologize what both Union and CSA were fighting with, and over, and how they were expecting not only to win, but how they were expecting to benefit after victory. This convergence of information will eventually explain which elements of private oligarchy won and which lost, beyond the simplistic notion of Union and CSA. Both the Union and the CSA were constellations of foreign and domestic special interests; not just a blue army and a grey army. Histories based on GIS inferences are far underway. But they tend to have sketchy or no information on artifacts outside the major battlefields and the canonized historians have no time or money to generate artifact data.

But for profit scavengers do.

Getting persons like you and thousands of others turning up artifacts for profit and recording them would really fill in a major missing portion of the GIS picture of the US Civil WAR in ways too numerous to mention here.

Just a thought.

Had a lovely dinner last night - both healthy and tasty.

Made a pretty strange salad with the main blade on a Work Champ first. I found the recipe by accident on a celery package and decided to give it a try - it’s a mix of obviously celery, raisins, almonds, apple, avocado, olive oil and lemon juice - tastes really great IMO.

No meat for me this time though - had to take some medical tests this morning, so doctor advised not to eat any

Afterwards opened a bottle of wine for my lady since I don’t drink alcohol and had a glass of surprisingly tasty dealcoholized wine

But when One wades through the OR, one finds countless orders and memos from one officer to another  about tiny skirmishes, or raids, or temporary encampments, and these often report the route recently followed and the route that will next be taken. Often, the locations and routes are of utterly no consequence to Civil War historians writing mostly about big battles and about famous persons. But each of these locations, particularly sizable encampments stayed at for several days likely would have a debris/artifact    scatter that often would have been flooded, and lost to the eye in ensuing years, since armies then tended to encamp near water sources for themselves and their horses.

Likely foragers and scavengers trails along Sherman’s March to the sea have long been metal detected; same with the various approach paths to Gettysburg. But there were literally tens of thousands of encampments by both sides never mentioned in history books nor marked by battle monuments that metal detectors likely have not swept.

We need to know much more empirically about the US Civil War to understand what really happened during and shortly after that fateful time. I believe the future of our country lay in a much more empirically based understanding of the time. We have the incredible opportunity to converge  Geographic information systems with geology, topo maps,  mineral surveys, rail/Telegraph maps, farm land maps, battle maps, and artifact scatters to demythologize what both Union and CSA were fighting with, and over, and how they were expecting not only to win, but how they were expecting to benefit after victory. This convergence of information will eventually explain which elements of private oligarchy won and which lost, beyond the simplistic notion of Union and CSA. Both the Union and the CSA were constellations of foreign and domestic special interests; not just a blue army and a grey army. Histories based on GIS inferences are far underway. But they tend to have sketchy or no information on artifacts outside the major battlefields and the canonized historians have no time or money to generate artifact data.

But for profit scavengers do.

Getting persons like you and thousands of others turning up artifacts for profit and recording them would really fill in a major missing portion of the GIS picture of the US Civil WAR in ways too numerous to mention here.

Just a thought.
Wow very very interesting! Thank you so much for this information it is very helpful. I am mostly a gold and silver prospector in the west/southwest as well as the northeast. My main metal detector is the fisher gold bug 2 which is designed to find gold and silver nuggets- even tiny ones- but it works great for coins as well. A friend had asked me to detect their property with an old Homestead site on it. This fork was a very fun find. Among some other cool items- part of an old oil lamp, A string of silver bells and a few silver coins. I’ve only detected one day over there so hope to find more cool items.

I’ve also recently been researching old pirate encampments, old tavern sites etc. because of the 17th century Arabian silver coin that was found recently in Rhode Island- my home base. It was struck in 1693 in Yemen which was a very unusual find for this area.

Since then, other detectorists have unearthed 15 additional Arabian coins from the same era — 10 in Massachusetts, three in Rhode Island and two in Connecticut. Would definitely be the find of a lifetime to on earth one of those beauties!

Great use! Do you plan some restoration for this fork or prefer to keep it as is?
keep it as is- Since it’s monogrammed and could be tied to the house that was once on the property i’m going to give this and some other items to the local historical society because then anyone interested in seeing relics like these will have access to them. It was definitely fun to wipe away the dirt and see this laying horizontally as if someone had just placed it there 3 inches down in the dirt.

So far I’ve been happy with my new PC revo., 1st real test and match not untill next week though. So we’ll see.

In any case, there are things that just did not exist on GP100 - no matter how many 1000s .357 mags I did run thru that nothing ever never got loose.
This one however seems to shake cylinder release, front sight and strain screws loose after few hundreds of shots.
So a bit more high maintenance and ’haps time to break out adhesssives.

Interesting stove.

I used to be an ESBIT-er but switched over 5 years back to a primitive little trangia canister stove that burns  hot on methanol that I buy in plastic containers called HEET in USA. Like most I lay an ultra lite titanium grate on top and boil soup and tea quickly while backpacking.

I just looked and AMAZON IS FULLOF TRANGIA CLONES NOW, so this paleo spirit burner must still be competitive.

I tried many back packing stoves and preferred the MSR, but I just got sick of the bottle, connector, burner assembly and maintenance hassle. If I really had to go high and long, I would revert to MSR because it works great in wind -and super cold, but I don’t. So the ease of Trangia wins.

For car camping I prefer and use a 30 year old Coleman two burner white gas stove plus a Coleman Peak one burner multi fuel. Both are pretty indestructible, bought for nothing at thrift stores, and the Peak can run on gasoline syphoned from my car tank in a pinch. I like a two burner and a one burner, instead of a three burner,  so if one breaks I can still cook.

If I snag two more PEAKs, I may retire the old two burner and just keep  three PEAKs in the trunk. I find the stoves used for $5-10 each.

I actually collect old Coleman stoves and lanterns pre 1980, preferably pre 1960. Not to make money. I just love the old things.

Propane canister stoves are increasingly showing up for nothing in thrift stores, and pre Coleman merger Campgaz stoves are interesting but since I can’t find the old canisters any more I don’t collect them.

I’m also a sucker for any old brass kerosene or Camphene oil lamp with a duplex wick burner, or a round wick burner. I love sitting around a patio table at night with two kerosene lamps lit. Some people hate the smell, but I love it.

More than you probably wanted to know, so I will stop.

The saw to cut some wooden dowels in to toggles, the file to de-bur the ends of the toggles and to cut a small groove in the center for tying the cordage. Multipurpose hook to put tension on the cordage while adjusting the knots for the toggles. Scissors to cut cordage and trimmer line. Inline Philips driver to unscrew some access panels. The forked end of the fish scaler to push the end of a spring back in to place for a telescoping pole. And finally the magnifying glass to check out a very tiny spider while taking a break.

I've been cleaning an old Explorer I picked up last week so lots of prying of stiff blades with the big slotted screwdriver on my SwissChamp. I also used the Champ's metal and wood saws to put a groove in the back scale of the Explorer for a pin (old pre-pin scales).

Found a frozen early 1960s Shakespeare Sea Wonder 2090 FB salsmurfer spinning reel.

VIC CYBERTOOL L to the rescue!

Full disassembly, cleaning, reapplication of reel grease and reel oil. Nothing wrong but hardened grease and some salty sand in the worm gear.

What a reel! Never have I seen so many heavy duty gear wheels in a spinning reel. It’s a beautiful thing built to last many lifetimes. Heavy as hell though! But I’ve got a a couple Penn Bait casters for trolling deep sea (or just dangling Sabiki rigs off a tall pier at low tide), a collection of old Garcia Mitchell’s (including my cherished lefty I was given as a boy) for freshwater, a couple Daiwa ultralights for pan fish, and a couple of fly reels for trout streams. The hole in my line up was a really rugged surf fishing reel. I have tried a some new ones that don’t do it for me. This old SEA WONDER could pull in most anything in the surf, or beyond, and you don’t have to baby it, because it’s so tough and easy to disassemble, clean and put back together.

Voila!

Ready to go into the surf with arguably the most rugged spinning reel ever built.

Thank you Cybertool L!

Used the Manager and Tinker Small to open an old calculator I was restoring. The Manager can actually deal really well with most consumer electronics, especially with the magnetized small Phillips and small slotted screw driver. I decided to use the Tinker Small openers to deal with the case clips though, which were a pain.

Also used the Explorer and Woodsman magnifying glasses for inspecting the chip pin contacts, as they just sit against the pads. I used both just to compared the old vs new to see which was more useful in this type of application.

And of course the beaster had to inspect my work.  :pok:

Yes, I am excited. And yes fishing is as arcane as most any hobby.

This reel is not yet highly valued (and may never be), because it was/is heavy and intended to do double duty—the jobs already being done by heavier duty traditional bait casting reels and the jobs done by lighter duty open faced spinning reels.

Combination reels, like combination knives, are often viewed by the lovers of both objects, as Jack’s of all trades, but masters of none, and so somewhat looked down on.

But I grew up playing many positions in sports, because I was never exceptional at any one thing, so intentionally diverse-use tools probably resonate with the utility player in me more than with persons that had and developed highly specialized talents. I am drawn far more to SAKs than high end flippers. I realize the incredible value of highly specialized tools refined to do one job well, when the task critically requires them. I don’t want a SAK to go in harms way, when a good fixed blade fighting knife is called for. But again I am more drawn to a really good multi tool. Given the choice of three box end wrenches in popular sizes that fit perfectly and a a good adjustable crescent wrench, I always pick the crescent. I regret it sometimes, but I get the job done somehow with the crescent, and never have to shim a too big box end and pray. If attire dictates choice in the morning of a high end flipper or my Cybertool L, the CTL goes in the pocket without hesitation. I have always liked options and redundancy in a complex world.

My Sea Wonder reel is kind of the ultimate set of options for a reel where one can fish all types of water, if I can handle the extra weight. And I can.

The weight conscious can forget this reel. As  I can gladly  handle the extra weight of my CTL instead of carrying a Tinker, I can handle the weight of this reel.

I prefer a stout touring bicycle to an ultralight racer bicycle. I prefer a Chevy Silverado to a Tacoma. And a Chevy 2500 to both. If weight gives me more options, give me weight. I only oppose weight flatly in tools that give me fewer options.

On foot, in the faraway, weight becomes a huge deal. But even then, I prefer shedding weight by leaving behind single use tools and finding multitools and don’t fret about a few extra ounces. My dream backpacking equipment would be a zipper vented, ultralight jumpsuit with a back pad shaped pocket that, when you remove your actual backpack riding on it as a pad, unfolds into a bug proof bivvy you lay down on, add a poncho liner to, zip up head to toe, and add your poncho over the top with some ties and u r ready to sleep. Your clothing is part your tent. Some have already tried this, but not very successfully yet.

There is also a connection to my late father, who was devoted to Shakespeare reels in my childhood. It’s kind of a reconnect with him on some level too.

It’s not for every one, same as etrippers’s bigguns aren’t right for everyone. But to this Yank, there is reassuring margin for error in  overbuilt simplicity with a little extra weight and adaptability; even if performance is not perfect for every situation...IMHO.

Give fishing a try, if you ever get tired of crowds and too much stress.

Just got the game 7th Continent. It's an adventure in a lost continent, in the beginning of last century. The Kickstarter edition came with "bone" dice. Very cool looking, but hard to "read".

https://the7thcontinent.seriouspoulp.com/

(https://d24fzi7kwqrjff.cloudfront.net/eu/53-large_default/bone-dice-and-dice-bag.jpg)

My retail copy came with plastic dice. It took a lot away from the 1907 exploration feeling. So...

Get some 10mmx10mm wood cubes, hold them with a 100mm locking plier, mark some roman numerals with a chisel from a Champion, burn them with a small soldering iron and you're ready to feel the atmosphere of the game.

Check out the youtube channel for Meet me at the Table. The enthusiasm and enjoyment he shows in his videos (along with the occasional dyslexia) makes them a real pleasure to watch. I bought two games awlready, just because of his reviews/playthroughts: The 7th Continent and This War of Mine.

I wonder if the Hunter Pro Alox Counts as Swiss Army Knife ? At least in Germany, they where called „Schweizer Taschenmesser“ (Swiss Pocketknife) so at least it might count ..

I used it for some cutting tasks  in our beekeeper store and it’s seems like it’s quite sharp ^^
Glue tape, packing wraps , cardboard, not the smallest issue …

There are some metal grits you need to separate the breed from the honey room, in the hive, which came in a Cardboard Box and is covered in plastic foil,
So i cut the Cardboard whit the Hunter Pro, and the Foil whit the Scissor of my Cybertool L ^^

 :tu:  :hatsoff:
That’s a pretty fine collection Ricardo, the farmer and farmer x are both great, the fx probably my overall fave :cheers:

Thanks, Sgt. Towser!

Poems always lose a lot of the meaning and the strenght in the translation, but it in a way some words and values are universal...

Yes, it grieves me no end that I am unable to read great Russian writers in their first language.

But translations are better than nothing, when it comes to important human communications of truth and beauty.

Thanks again for sharing that poem.

I have another way of solving that. Just light the shoe polish. Have the lid ready to cover it, so as to extinguish the flame.

I shall give that a try. Does that work with any kind of polish or just certain types. Can't have the old rhythm and blues letting down the ensemble. Don't want to get cashiered from any of my clubs.  ;)  :D :salute: :salute: :salute:

Well, I've done it with a portuguese brand. I've seen people using different brands, so I'd say yes. Just try it with a tin that's awlmost empty and a pair of old shoes/boots. If it doesn't work, it's not a big problem.

Used the scissors for cutting fishing line. The pliers to empty the fire bucket into the river and the main blade to remove the tea bag from the cup. Unhappily I didn't get to use the disgorger as it was a fishless day on the Avon. I suppose that's why they call it fishing and not catching.

 :iagree:

A SAK is tool for freeing one’s from problems and resolving issues.

No matter how small a problem is, it stops function and threatens mission, until it is resolved.

A piece of foam caused an epic catastrophe during a space shuttle flight.

A spark in an Apollo space capsule sitting on a launch pad incinerated 3 astronauts and called an entire space program.

Even the smallest issue resolved is cause for cheering in my book.

After each problem solved I sense an entire probability wave function ranging from no adversity to epic catastrophe collapse.

Really.

This is why I get such a kick out of fixing things and solving problems—any things and any problems.

Afterwards I feel so good; even when I am not doing it for money anymore.

And I really can never let go of an unsolved problem, because I know that wave function is still out there.

There really are just two kinds of persons in my book: those that try to collapse the wave function with a fix, and those that don’t give a damn about what could happen to their fellow cause they don’t care enough to fix things.

Enjoy EVERY moment after you fix something no matter how small.

God only knows what you averted in the cascade of events that might have been.

Frank Capra’s ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE was about this very thing.

A part of each of us is George Bailey.

Capra who served as a documentary and war propaganda filmmaker in WWII and who spent  his life making Hollywood films with teams of technicians deeply  understood this: everything undertaken can be enabled or undone by even a tiny problem improperly dealt with. Capra’s films showed that every person, not just big wigs, has a role in outcomes.

I can argue almost every issue both ways.

But I have no doubt that idfevery person in the world were gifted a CYBERTOOL like mine that the next day the world would have fewer problems unresolved and work a little better.

Yesterday was a busy day for knives and tools.

I was at an Independence Day cookout and had the Pioneer X with me. I'd thought about bringing the Nomad, but figured the blade would be unnecessarily large, while the scissors on the Px would be useful.  I also entertained the thought of carrying a Leatherman KBX when I grabbed it off the dresser to open a package.

I chose correctly!

One of my friends was carrying a Buck Slim... Select? Pro? And that was coming in useful for opening packages of groceries... Getting passed around quite a bit, on account of it's no-nonsense usability.

I used the Pioneer X to cut the plastic straps securing a new canopy. I lent it out when the party favors were being distributed for the kids... To separate out stickers and whatnot. Later in the evening I used it again to take down some decorations.

The question is... What do you want to do?  No nonsense? Or stickers for the kids? Or both?

Used the 'large' blade on my Executive to cut the power lead off of an old tumble dryer, I was expecting it to go far worse than it did  :dunno:

3 copper cables inside the main sheath, it got 85% through on the first try and finished the rest with ease. No visible damage to the edge from the copper innards nor any blade play.

In future I'll use more appropriate blades still (last time I did something like this it was the Rebar's serrated blade), but I was too lazy to go get something else  :facepalm:

Knives and edged weapons are categorically excluded from the rights afforded by the Second Amendment.

Only firearms are considered "arms" under the Second Amendment. We do not have the "right" to carry a knife.  :rant:  Edged weapons are not protected under the 2A.  Mark this.

Even the freedom of religion doesn't protect the right to carry a knife - a little known tradition of the Sikhs is that they carry a (usually 6cm unsharpened) dagger as a reminder to "fight for those who can't fight for themselves". Even that's prohibited in many jurisdictions.

On to the Freedom of Speech.... The 1A protects speech against the government from being restricted BY the government. Any private entity such as MTo is allowed to prevent me from speaking about politics (though in this case it's more about Law).

And I will gladly abide by this and shut up. Because, MTo remains the one and only good place on the internet where people get along and are civil toward one another.  :cheers:

But please do mark it for me...  The Second Amendment does not protect the right to bear edged weapons... Only firearms.

That's portuguese "desenrascanço".

Translating to “disentanglement, ” desenrascanço is a kind of Portuguese MacGyverism. It’s the art of finding a solution to a problem out of left field, without the skills or resources one would usually require. It’s artful disentanglement from a problem: throwing together a costume right before a party using the clothes already hanging in your wardrobe, propping up a wobbly table leg using the novel in your bag, or just about anything you do with duct tape.

The keyring and the red scales on 91mm Victorinox turned out to be a decent makeshift rattler to get a toddles attention. He even grabbed it and that is a big deal as he is still learning to control his hands.  No pictures because I do not  want the baby on the internet but he seemed pretty interested.

Just a funny fact in line with what pfrsantos said...
In our country, in our pervious "regime" (up until 1974), there was once a stupid law about the use of cigarette lighters (as opposed to using matches) outside that roughly stated literally that: "the use of cigarette lighters and similar is forbidden in a public setting without a proper license, unless it's used "under Roof tile" (meaning "only indoors"), so there was some younger, more daring folks who used to carry a piece of a roof tile in their pocket's so they could use their lighters outside without a license (lighting the cigarette "under Roof tile") and not getting a fine by the state police...  :rofl:

Yes they do Tony, surprisingly well for something so small. Best to watch the video on their site for the technique as it’d be easy to break.

The Firefly shown I’ve found better than the Fireant which fits in the corkscrew but the Fireant comes with tinder that also works well. It does work I should add but a bit fiddly.

You can get the tinder separately on the Tortoise Gear website so would recommend Firefly plus tinder and then you get to keep the mini driver, although do lose the toothpick, so suppose depends which is more important to you

CyberTool 34 took the scope and mounts off using the Torx bit and installed aperture iron sights with the slotted screwdrivers to the .22LR rifle .  :salute:

The micro-screwdriver removed a retaining screw for the firing pin on the bolt as well.

Also used the main blade to cut and remove a mangled portion of plastic eavestrough extension that always found itself in front of the garage.  :whistle:

This is one of the best tools to remove tools from a cardboard box. For this reason (and it's light weight), a single layer Waiter has been a favorite EDC for work days lately. Because I have no use for the corkscrew and I was wanting to add the toothpick and tweezers anyways,,, , there is a Bantam on its way right now.

I've thought about a CyberTool, but am happy with a SAK with an inline Phillips driver with a hex bit coupler that slides over it.

I alternate between the Deluxe Explorer and a Swiss Champ, depending on what I think I'll need that day. The DE takes care of most of what I need.

@SteveP, what kind of hex bit coupler do you use? I like the idea of using it with the inline Philips driver on my Explorer and Swiss Champ.

Post by: Zephon on August 19, 2021, 05:38:31 AM
It’s more on what I did for my SAK today.

I repaired a hex coupler whose magnet fell off after dropping it on a tiled floor ONCE. The magnet flew off with the 1/4 hex bit inside it.

It was a pain to put back a strong magnet.

What’s so important with this coupler? It has a thinner hole which matches the width of the inline drivers of the Explorer, Herc, Spirit and that Wenger SAK with compass.  Yes, there’s a bit of wiggle room, but same goes with the 1/4 hex bit.  It will not fit a Swiss Tool philips, Rebar, MP600, or Roxon Storm. This allows me to load up on hex and T bits which SAKs don’t have (except those with Cybertool attachments).

This allows me to load up on hex and T bits which SAKs don’t have (except those with Cybertool attachments).
Zephron, it looks like you have the same hex bit coupler that I have. I created a shim from a flexible magnet (the thick ones they stick on the backs of business cards) and used double-sided tape to stick in on the inside of the coupler. Nice tight fit now. Get yourself a 1/4" hex socket adapter and you can use sockets with it, too.

@SteveP, what kind of hex bit coupler do you use? I like the idea of using it with the inline Philips driver on my Explorer and Swiss Champ.
Kraken, I got my first one with a Winchester multi-tool that came with the coupler and a set of hex bits. I got a second one with a brandless version of the Winchester for about half the price on eBay.

Then I scored pay dirt and found just the coupler and bit set on AliExpress.com for less than $3! Here's a link:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000244018257.html

And here's a thread I started a while back with some other ideas about adding hex bit capability to a SAK:

Yes they do Tony, surprisingly well for something so small. Best to watch the video on their site for the technique as it’d be easy to break.

The Firefly shown I’ve found better than the Fireant which fits in the corkscrew but the Fireant comes with tinder that also works well. It does work I should add but a bit fiddly.

You can get the tinder separately on the Tortoise Gear website so would recommend Firefly plus tinder and then you get to keep the mini driver, although do lose the toothpick, so suppose depends which is more important to you

:cheers:
I agree. The Firefly is easier to use and seems to make mor sparks in my experience. One thing not in the video but I saw in another post or video, I can’t remember where or I’d link it, is that you can use the wire stripper on the bottle opener/screwdriver. I’ve tried it and it works well.

Trusty Climber :climber:

Patched up some fly screens on the front door, seems to have worked well enough but poorly designed product.

It comes in 3 layers, the fly screen itself, an adhesive layer and backing. Every time I tried to peel off the backing the fly screen came away without the adhesive. Easily solved by having a section of backing without adhesive and screen, took forever  :ahhh

Here’s just a quick pick of the “after”. I also used the pen-like sharpening tool on it.

So yesterday I sharpened a few pencils. I did not do it with a SAK but with a Rough rider pen knife. I've gotten pretty darn good at free hand, pocket knife pencil sharpening and I give them a really nice point. And though I won't put the pencils in the holder with the point down so I won't damage it and have it nice and fresh when I need it, I just have to be careful around it. Of coarse I forgot about it so today I smashed the backside of my palm right into that fine tip. And it pierced well. Of coarse, a decent piece of graphite was left in the wound. Tried to squeeze it out but it wasn't going to give in that easy. So here comes SAK usage - first I grabbed just a random one from the drawer to use the tweezers. But they weren't doing it. So I grabbed the Handyman to use it's pliers. Now they are too small to be decent pliers but damn if they aren't great tweezers. Used the scissors to take some of the arm hair out of the way, then the small knife to make a small cut (or two because the first one wasn't in the right place  :D). Took the pin out to dig around a bit and the pliers to do the actual job. Afterwards used the Explorer's magnifying glass to see if I've gotten it all out. Used  some 95% alcohol to clean the wound and thought it would be great to clean the tools on my Victorinox with it. Did you know that strong enough alcohol starts to dissolve the plastic scales on a SAK ? It was a surprise for me for sure ! Anyway, it was one of those days when I didn't have to wonder what to use my toys on  :climber:

Well, I don’t have a pic but I’ve been doing some work on the house and I’m drywalling a 1/2 bath in the basement for the kid, and I needed to cut three holes, two for a pipe and one for a switch box, and I must say the FarmerX’s saw cuts like butter! Right through 1/2”!

Well couldn’t use the FarmerX this time, but the Mrs and I were taking the trash out and she ended up getting a splinter/sliver, and of course any one knows any sak’s tweezers are the absolute best to get them out! Only problem was this one didn’t want to come out so I had the Mrs go get the Champion Plus so I could use the pin to work it lose and get it out!
Of course let’s not forget about me, cause as she got the splinter she dropped the wood in which scratched me all down the back of the leg,,

I started a new job on Monday as a wiring tech for a company that manufactures power distribution switch gear. Somehow in the last 12 years since I've done electrical work they've figured out how to produce blueprints so small that you just can't read the wire numbers,,,, I just struggled all day. It wasn't just me,, even the young techs that didn't wear glasses were struggling, and I noticed that some had a magnifying glass in their toolbox.

Yesterday evening I ordered a nice magnifying glass to use at work. To get by while I wait for it to be delivered, this morning I had a plan,,, I packed the Champion in on my hip. That little magnifying glass is sure powerful!! Would have liked to capture an action pic, but cell phones are strongly prohibited on the floor. The SAK magnifier isn't exactly the perfect tool for the job,,, but it sure was helpful today.

I was kind of surprised just how light the Champion was to carry. A few times I even felt the urge to reach around and check and insure it was still in the sheath.

I whittled some dowel rods into garden stakes to support some snapdragons that I'm attempting to save. I also used the scissors to cut twine to tie the stems upright, and to prune the plants.

I'm still learning this whole gardening thing, but my SAK (my new SwissChamp in this case, other times an Explorer or Super Tinker) is a great helper in the garden. 

The magnifying glass also comes in handy for examining bugs on my flowers and herbs.

I took cover behind the collapsed remnants of a building as bullets flew above and all around my position. I was out of ammo, but took notice of an enemy carbine that lay next to it’s fallen owner. Only eight feet alway, but with all the lead pelting the ground around it it may as well have been on the moon.
 Determined and desperate, I took a length of cordage and secured it to the split ring of my Climber. I opened the parcel hook, and like a fisherman I cast the line carefully towards my target and pulled it in, hoping to snag the fabric of the rifles sling. My first two casts missed their mark, but on the third the hook latched on, and after gingerly pulling the line in the rifle was in my hands at last…



Actually, the truth is my 4 year old threw my keys in a public toilet and the Climber took one for the team.
I did get to use the hook twice in two days, to there’s that.

It is, and after discovering the hooks utility as a retrieval tool I think I’m going to add some longer cordage to my daily carry. I can think of several other times I could have employed this setup, but having only my pioneer with key ring nub removed I was forced to find other ways.
And yes, the Climber had to undergo some intense sanitation protocols after the incident, and perhaps therapy later. Luckily I have access to an autoclave  :tu:

Used the pin in my Compact to retrieve a stuck empty ink cartridge, deep in the barrel of a Kaweco Liliput. Perhaps not what the designers would ever have intended, but it worked perfectly. Would have been very difficult otherwise.

I lean toward the Alox models, so this is the first one I've had with the pin. I'm starting to understand the appeal.

Nice modded Explorer. I didn't see the wood saw in the original pic. Just looked like three layers to me.   :dunno:  What's the purpose of the cut-down can opener?

And of course, now you need to post a pic of the Alox one.

To not get to far away from topic, you are welcome to take a look here in the thread from the mod section and the can opener is modded for more reach. Still works for cans but with a bit more force

Took the little man out in the woods this afternoon for forage for fire wood for our fire pit. Yesterday we built a travois to help haul everything back. He used his Evolution S17 to help me cut the bank line I used for the lashings. Today he used the saw on his Evo to cut some branches down so he could practice using the main blade to make tent pegs. He got dirty and tired and it was well worth it to keep him away from the electronic screens.

No photos. You'll thank me!

My left index finger took several large and small splinters this week as I was climbing all over trucks keeping track of the oil and gas pipes that our shop was shipping to a facility in West Texas.

I used my my Explorer's magnifying glass for a better view while I used my Tinker's small blade and my SwissChamp's tweezers (which I happened to have modified with angled tips) to perform emergency surgery to remove the 1/4" long splinter. Due to the splinter's gray color, I was initially worried that it was a rusty steel splinter, and that I therefore needed a tetanus shot, until I tested it against a magnet with no results.

I was so focused on removing the large splinter that I didn't even notice the much smaller one until the next day. This time, I used the angled tweezers and straight pin to remove it.

This week illustrated perfectly why I carry cellidor SAKs rather than alox.

Used the fish scaler on my Champion to tuck the strap ends of my dog's new mobility harness into the padded sleeves on the straps. It was the perfect tool for the job - blunt so it wouldn't damage the straps or the sleeve, long enough to get the strap ends down as far as they'd go, and thin and nimble enough to fit inside the sleeve.

It was yesterday, but still - used both my 111mm SAKs - Forester and Work Champ to fix a bathroom light.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211114/bba706d566576830c77b5012b4d4b696.jpg)

It’s a pretty cheap one - like 10$, we bought it at Jysk store, it’s supposed to be held in place via included suction cups on your bathroom mirror, though one of the suction cups turned out to be slightly torn on the edge and of course one day the entire lamp fell down on the floor.
It refused to turn on after taking a fall, so I decided to find out what might be the problem.
Turns out the battery compartment went loose because of the fall - only held in place on hot glue…
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211114/e0c292a4c9cf9f159339bc8e924b91cd.jpg)

Disassembled, glued battery contacts in place via epoxy, assembled back and works like a charm. Waiting for the replacement suction cups set to put it back to good use - really helps while I’am shaving or my wife puts on her makeup

Also used my most beloved and probably most used long Phillips on a Work Champ. This time to assemble a DIY clock and test it on a previously made DIY regulated power supply.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211114/063bceffc8384a876e1137c0568fd088.jpg)
P.S.: I triple checked everything and the clock seems to be assembled right - no shorts and such, but since it’s a cheap constructor thing it takes a few hours for it to change time one minute plus. If any of you guys have any ideas why - those would be greatly appreciated.
Everything else apart from the clock (temperature reading and so on) seem to work flawlessly. I blame quartz oscillator and plan on replacing it, but maybe I should also replace ICs…

Update: I fixed it though it’s not as easy as 1-2-3 for some - the firmware on the main chip of the clock was malfunctioning and I needed to buy a special cable and upload a custom firmware with fixes… on a clock, yes. I can’t believe that too, but that’s what I did and it works as it should now

On my Spartan today, I opened a few packages with the pen blade, and I had a really small Bruder Mini (even smaller than Matchbox, and very fragile) JCB 4CX which about a week ago, fell off the shelf and the first section of the backhoe arm broke in half. I used the mini driver to remove the #0 Phillips screw so I could separate the entire backhoe assembly so I wouldn't mess up the actual vehicle when gluing the arm back together. At least I have a spare, as the lot it came in had two--that one I put back behind glass so it woudn't break.

Nice, those pliers are super handy.

Do you use the wire stripper in the bottle opener? I was very skeptical of it but tried it the other day and was able to strip wire ends from a few different wire types and gauges without much issue at all. The thin solid core I use with breadboards strips pretty much every time on the first try without pre-cutting the insulation. I should have known better than to doubt the SAK!  8)

No better time to fix that than now. Watch on eBay, sometimes some slip under the radar and go cheap. Hell even new in box ones like this example can be had for a fair price. I grabbed this one NIB for $40 shipped back in November.

Quite a busy day for my Director.

Used the scissors to cut packets of ranch dressing and malt vinegar at lunch.

I needed to cut a zip tie taking down Christmas lights (folks wanted to do it today, as the weather would be abysmal for the next couple of weeks), and had nothing better at the time, so I used the main blade. I didn't note any damage, but was really nervous to use the small and thin 74mm blade, but it completed its task unscathed. I later switched to a cheap fixed blade for that.

Peeled an orange with the orange peeler.

Needed a place to hang my clipboard, so I put a screw in the wall with the orange peeler's SD tip.



The Director may be heftier than an Executive, but I prefer the feel. I happened to get an unused drawer queen from the early '70s for a whopping $10. I've mostly carried it around the house, or for formal occasions. It is not really a shelf queen in my use, but isn't used like a regular EDC either.   The 74mm frame is just where a proper-size pocketknife starts with me, and is neither too small nor too big. I can leave it in my pocket all day lounging around the house in sweatpants and not notice it.

For the free hand section apply a little sharpie to the bevel, that'll help you get the angle right.

If you don't like sharpening then really the best thing for it is to keep on top of your blades, a couple swipes at the end of the day on the inside of a leather belt (or actual strop if you like) and every now and then put then through the ceramic pull through on the Vic sharpener.

I'll give a +1 for the Vic pull-through sharpener. I'll add that I'm a complete novice at sharpening, but the pull-through has put some good edges that slice paper back on some used knives that I've picked up.

I've never had to mess with the ceramic rod part. Been lucky that I haven't had a blade that messed up.

I don't put much pressure on the sharpener when I pull the blade through so it's taken 20-40 passes to get a good edge sometimes.

I'll admit that the main reason I got it is that's it's angled for the factory grind on the blades, so very simple to use.

I should probably add that the Vic was a lightweight solution for touch ups, if someone is looking for a more intensive system then something else will probably be needed.

I've gone from a Lansky Turnbox to a Spyderco Sharpmaker to my current set up: A Wicked Edge Pro with Vic sharpener for the light stuff.

I use a lot of SAK tools for SAK mods. Yesterday the list is pretty long for just the modding:

Pliers - pull and cut wires.
Tweezers - grab small quantity of glow powder, move wires
Fish scaler - also push wires
Metal Saw (stainless) - cut cellidor and file misc parts that needed clearance
Awl - make or clean or pilot holes in things. Brass, aluminum, plastic.
Watch case opener - the less likely to scratch pry bar.
Toothpick - glow material and epoxy mixer, applicator, spatula

I've never had to mess with the ceramic rod part. Been lucky that I haven't had a blade that messed up.
I wish I could say the same. My white Rally was incapable of cutting paracord when I received it. Much work on the ol' pull-through sharpener (on both the carbide and ceramic) was necessary with that one...

I've used those pins several times to clear out nozzles on sprinkler heads. Didn't really see a need for it until that first time. Now I'm a convert!

Good to hear that you fixed it.

I did have a pair of scissors on an Explorer that were badly messed up. Used a diamond file and Felix Immler's video to re-edge them.

Well, not really me and not my SAK but my youngest got  a garage this Christmas and every gate has its own key. She did it her own way with her toy SAK. She wasn't strong enough to do it but I tried and the SAK worked for them all. The pic has bad lighting and are blurry but we all know hos toddlers change focus so I has to be quick

Pretty standard day, for the most part. Didn't snap any picks as they'd be quite boring and I reckon everyone has seen all that stuff before. Just thought I'd register a post to assert that I do actually use them on occasion...

Rainy renovation day on the cabin property
Used the awl on the Farmer X to drill some pilot holes and the saw to smooth out the rough edge of a board.
Used the FX scissors to cut open a bag of gummy candy (for energy  ;))
Then used the inline Phillips on the Explorer to start some long screws pre drilling.
Used the Explorer mag glass to look at an old silver coin I found under the floorboards.
Then used the hook to pull a thin wire through a hole in the wall.

While there are some duplicate tools I’m really liking this EDC matchup.
FarmerX for the dirty rough and tough tasks
and the Explorer stays clean for light duty, grooming and first aid.
Curious to see what you awl think  :salute:

Today my trusty Ranger helped out, repairing my Dads iMac.
The fan has made some loud noise, so we had to get a new one.
For me this repair was pretty challenging because there are a lot of tiny wires and plugs you have to unplug.
Also you first have to remove the display. Then the logic board with all its cooling stuff has to move a bit to the side to expose the screws of the fan.

I'm still using the Compact, without rotating to any other SAKs for some days straight since I got it (except for one day I was on a trail and Huntsman got dutty).
Scissors are always used, mainly cutting loose threads, but also plastic packages.
Combo tool has a problem that seems to be fairly common, not many space between the tool and the liner causes friction. Still use it recently for opening a plastic clam shell like a can.
Hook has been phone stand for a friend that had slipery phone case.
Corkscrew I use it everyday for making holes in cardboard for making toys to my pet. Awl is much more effective, but when in a hurry, the cs does the  job.
I dont use the main blade all that much. Sometimes to cut open packages.
I definitly miss dedicated openers, and awl. But the size that I thought it didnt matter for 5th pocket, it matters. I was used to carry Explorer by a suspension clip, now just put the Compact on the 5th. Still not as cozy in there as one of the two 85mm Wengers, but more functional.

Edit: completly forgot... The pen. I always carry one but sometimes is deep inside a bag, or stays behind for some reason. Compact pen always ready for shopping list.

I collect coins. Some are old and very valuable, some are just random. Sometimes people give me random coins... First time since I got my Explorer. Other great use for this SAK!

Huntsman on trail today was pure gold!
First time opening a can with a SAK, where I live all the cans have pullers, today the puller got broken, Huntsman to the rescue.
Than the scissors, first for cutting bandage for a cut in a bush, than for a nail that got broken in half on a rock.

Busy day for the old (new) farmer x today.
Cut up a nice peach.
Cut some rubber sheeting to stop a rattle in my car door.
Used to to remove those bloody annoying plastic screw plug thingies in the door.
Cut an annoying branch on the lemon tree, damn that saw is sharp.
Opened a packet of salmon pieces for lunch.
Cut some leather for the new pouch for it.
Used the scissors several times to cut the stitching for the pouch.
And finally......
Used the awl to start a hole for the screw holding my new barometer up on the wall.

Then cleaned it and oiled it.
Its been a busy day.
Put it back in the knife cabinet, inside its own little pouch to sleep......good night farmer x.

Been carrying the Handyman lately

(https://i.postimg.cc/850cKnvK/FF0551-F7-2-EA6-4100-B525-72-C28115-EA8-C.jpg)

The peek hole had some condensation that 3 days of moving around on the radiators and out the sun did not fix. Decided I'd try the harder way  :climber:

(https://i.postimg.cc/mhxDRz87/F2088-D5-F-8-D53-4-D6-E-A0-D2-B545-F09-F36-D3.jpg)

But the glue wasn't giving up so I thought I'd give it a little push  :pok: . The material used for this thing got hot in half a second so I used the pliers of the Handyman to hold it

(https://i.postimg.cc/MTTXY8nf/00-E74267-3-BD2-43-CA-9843-6-D13-E418-DFC2.jpg)

What I did not realize is that the lens were plastic and did not cope well with fire  ::) So the front element got wrinkled. Some sandpaper and Autosol made it better. On the picture I've focused on the lens it's self, focusing on the view gives a decent enough picture. My phone wasn't cooperating so no "view" picture

(https://i.postimg.cc/wjXtq2KM/1-FD56-E27-D084-4411-97-A6-E112744-DE015.jpg) 

then I pulled the napkin that's been in the hole of the door for a few days  :D

(https://i.postimg.cc/vTxBpLLQ/6514092-E-F227-4-E5-E-A1-D6-DE94-E36-ED7-E2.jpg)

And for a finale - went down the cellar and took a bottle of the 2019 home made wine. Being innovative as I am - it's bottled in beer bottles, just because I had the bottles and did not want to buy wine bottles.

(https://i.postimg.cc/6QzyRQpN/461-E9239-44-B1-4643-9-EC3-201-D5-DF606-E9.jpg)

It's tastes good, but definitely different from what it used to be

My use today was a lot more basic - inline Phillips and the can opener's small slotted tip to tighten door knobs, strike plates, and hinges.

Using my Explorer to fit a new stereo in the wife's car:

 - Unscrew the fascia and pry it away from the housing
 - Unbolt the old stereo
 - Transfer the propriertary mounting brackets to the new stereo
 - Repin the Honda-ISO wiring harness
 - Clip and strip the wires off the back end of the ISO harness
 - Strip the wires at the front end of the Made In China harness (because they don't use ISO, apparently)
 - Solder the ISO to the MIC harness, although the Explorer was only used to hold some wires out the way at this point
 - Refit and rebolt everything back into place
 - Remove everything to then add in more soldering for additional functions I hadn't realised could be made to work
 - Re-refit and re-rebolt everything back in place

First time fitting a new stereo into a car, too, but it all worked out in the end. My mechanic was more than a little exasperated, and took the smurf a lot 'cause he knows what I'm like with my SAKs, but to be honest I actually got most jobs done in less time than it would have taken him to go get the right size of screwdriver, so I'm quite proud of the fact that it was (fundamentally) all done with just a SAK and a soldering iron!! :D

Alas, no photos, because as usual I'm too busy just getting the job done.

No words can describe how much we all appreciate it, gents

In the meantime I’am happy I have my Work Champ with me here. Times like this are totally different - I’ve been searching for a hairdryer for days and only managed to find a professional one for my ladies - they are all sold out.

Same with power outlet extenders - almost no way to buy one, but that’s a no problem because I can make one out of still more or less available parts.

First a large Phillips screwdriver was used
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220311/fcb41dc4eb4b04421ab63c9ba59ed436.jpg)


Then a knife with a wire stripper
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220311/df2e89cc2cbf370d527e6aa6562fd735.jpg)

Next I used pliers to crimp the wires - why not really if I do have the parts
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220311/8a2b381090bc0c408f1d0e5ddd66abf7.jpg)

Can’t stress enough about how much I love the long slim Phillips - it’ll easily go where the larger one won’t

Well since I don’t currently have much to do - I’ll be sharing my adventures with a Work Champ :) Maybe later I’ll switch to a Forester I gave to my wife for now

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220313/c4c2a4cbda33688b3092e640e47be8d3.jpg)

More to hopefully come tomorrow

P.S.: didn’t take photos, but also tried to use Work Champ to fix our electrical stove - it was an old one that the owner of the place gave us and today it stopped heating, despite the power indicating LED still turns on. I disassembled it, checked all of the connections, tightened all I could, but since the stove is old it probably is done - I guess the heating spiral burned down. As a result we went and managed to find a replacement stove at the marked outside of the town, because in town there is no way to buy one - just as with the hairdryers and so on

Well I promised :)

Replaced an old power outlet with a new one - doing what I can to make this place at least a fraction more comfortable

The most challenging part was to find a right switch to turn down the electricity. Work Champ took great care of the rest.

First I used a can opener to unscrew what remained of an old outlet
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220314/be3c3c20cf28045825c1cfca4f80aa2b.jpg)

Then pliers helped me to carefully remove the connected wires and pull the outlet itself from the wall plus…
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220314/f4c01e5b3f14340dd604412ee9aa46e2.jpg)


…connect a replacement outlet
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220314/f644e637b7cbf1923adb61077e0666c2.jpg)

Nothing ever gets done without my beloved long Phillips
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220314/8eab10bbae7da7cdefe55096dc966bb1.jpg)

And voila - a new outlet that at least has a cover and no one will accidentally touch it in the dark and get electrocuted ⚡️

Well I promised :)

Replaced an old power outlet with a new one - doing what I can to make this place at least a fraction more comfortable

The most challenging part was to find a right switch to turn down the electricity. Work Champ took great care of the rest.

First I used a can opener to unscrew what remained of an old outlet
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220314/be3c3c20cf28045825c1cfca4f80aa2b.jpg)

Then pliers helped me to carefully remove the connected wires and pull the outlet itself from the wall plus…
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220314/f4c01e5b3f14340dd604412ee9aa46e2.jpg)


…connect a replacement outlet
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220314/f644e637b7cbf1923adb61077e0666c2.jpg)

Nothing ever gets done without my beloved long Phillips
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220314/8eab10bbae7da7cdefe55096dc966bb1.jpg)

And voila - a new outlet that at least has a cover and no one will accidentally touch it in the dark and get electrocuted ⚡️

I’am starting to feel kinda sad that I’m not currently going through my 3rd 111mm challenge :)

But today I’ve found an old dusty calculator just laying around and despite having a solar panel it won’t turn on.

After opening up a battery compartment with a can opener I’ve found some oxidation on the contacts
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220315/5a804290e17c321aed500e1d37c1a679.jpg)

Yet another cool thing I realized about a Work Champ is that it’s file has abrasion even on the very tip, so after a couple of seconds I managed to clean the contact.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220315/a4a7878cbe874c319fb88b7f7f1995e5.jpg)

When I inserted an old battery back into place the calculator turned on and works now as it should. My wife is an accountant and prefers this old style calculators even despite having all the latest fancy gadgets, so she’ll be able to work a tad more efficient now

Today while my ladies were hanging fresh laundry one of the old ropes broke and some of the clothes fell down onto the roof. We will have to wait for our neighbors to get back home so we could get that back. In the meantime we’ve managed to get a new bright yellow rope and I’ve cut it to a proper length with a Work Champ’s main blade

You could use your SAK's bottle opener 90º stop as a hook to pick them up. Tie the SAK to a long rope and you might be able to do it.

And then something slightly bad happened - I must have put my SAK somewhere dusty (most of the places here despite all our efforts) and it started to open with scratching noise and a little less smoothly. I washed it in hot water and now it’s much better, but sadly I don’t have a Vic oil with me and there’s no place to buy it here. Ordered some from US, but I Ben if it will arrive - it’ll take weeks for obvious reasons

On second thought, maybe use a coat hanger or improvise a hook from some strong wire. Better not risk your SAK.

Speaking of the corkscrew, I used it just now to open a bottle of some cosmetic liquid for my wife - worked perfectly well
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220323/4fba20849c9ecc1b82e23b1f264b843f.jpg)

And in general it is a day of using the tools I don’t usually use that much, for example a large flathead was used to tighten an sold pan’s handle so we’d be able to keep cooking in it
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220323/37a6832550102e5c855fd860494ac065.jpg)

And we’ve managed to find a better (and 3 times more expensive ) place, that has hot water but lacks any sheets, kitchen utensils and so on, so we bought a few things and scissors helped to remove the tags

Wife asked me to scan docs today - Work Champ pliers helped me to carefully remove the staples while keeping them reusable because we don’t have a stapler at hand

We’ve managed to find and rent a better place with hot water and even internet access so we can work - we can surely say we are safe and sound now considering the situation. A minor detail - in order to provide a wifi router with power I will be making another power strip later today using my Work Champ of course.
Frankly speaking I can see that they have been restocked at local stores, but building one myself is both cheaper and way more exciting

Below goes a little rant from me, so I’ll hide it because it’s not really related to MTO


Show content
One thing we all k is for sure is that demand always dictates the price, especially when poop hits the fan. The place we found is also no good for usual peaceful times and we’ve found out that a week before it costed 200$ a month. Now it’s 700$ and we were lucky to get it that cheap. Luckily we can pay that much for a few months, but what about those who can’t? Why are some people here giving away their last and others bump prices when it’s war?…

Alexanderre, I'm glad you found a good place to rent, and the mighty Workchamp is coming through for you in spades!!  It's amazing how much you can take for granted, such as something like a staple.  I know that the Vic pliers are a lot more versatile than they get credit for. 

You're right about apartments.  I had to resort to the Workchamp for Philips screwdriver use and it's pliers to work on a stove in my son's new apartment.  It's a SAK dream! 

Jmoita, that Philips screwdriver is a real 111 strength.

Alexanderre is really rocking it. Make non sak users think twice about carrying such an object. How much your life can get better with a simple SAK (or in this case with the Workchamp beast) with you.

Today i used my SAK mainly for cutting tape with the scissors, for making new cardboxes for storage.

When all this started I gave my Forester to my wife just in case. Today I took it back for service since it was widely used by her for meal preps lately. I remember that about a year ago I sharpened a can opener a little bit and never used it ever since. Today wife asked me to open a few cans, so here was the perfect chance to give it a try - worked as expected

So after some painting a few days ago, some screws got covered and glued (with paint) and I used the pliers from the Swisstool to take them out together with the awl to clean the screw heads so I could used them again for installing new curtains using the philips.
After that the pliers were dirty with paint, and it sucked to clean them, but SAK to the rescue: first the corkscrew, somehow effective, but i still needed something that could go trough the slim teeth of the pliers, and that was the microscrewdriver.

Champ plus with Silver Tech scales is having a busy Sunday.

Then it was to observe slicing down some man sized cardboard boxes.

Finally it got fo do some work and opened a bottle of wine

Well since some stores are opening here in Ukraine and we have this pause to get better prepared for whatever may happen next - I've been buying some things we may need and... I used my beloved Work Champ to liberate a Swiss Champ from it's plastic prison

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220405/2b1ccf1c081e475f27c460b156f23339.jpg)

For the time being Swiss Champ feels more like a toy next to a Work Champ, but I’m sure it’ll prove it’s worth in the future

What made me finally go for it after years of doubts (because of the short main blade) was a pen, a pin, a ruler and a magnifier - things I do use in the urban environment from time to time and don’t have on a Work Champ. So yeah, we’ll see
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: Rizio Il Ghiro on April 05, 2022, 11:31:29 AM
Nicely done, Alexanderre! I can see what you mean about seeming like a toy in comparison, but I do find the magnifier really useful (a case of always being blind, now aggravated by old age! :rofl:) - I have a SwissCard in my wallet just in case I don’t have a knife with a magnifier on me. Best wishes for the future…. :tu:

Thanks, Rizio I usually use magnifier to examine electronics - a small hobby I used to play with on weekends before the war - only bought a proper soldering iron and a smoke extractor plus some other gear and then it all started sadly


But of course it can also be used as an emergency fire starter and I’ve thought about it as well. Also bought a ferro rod for that purpose

Oh absolutely that would have been my perfect SAK

Meanwhile a Work Champ supervised fixing an outlet here in this rented apartment. It’s an outlet for the washing machine that was pretty loose since we moved in and until today I had to manually push it back into its place every now and then. Swiss Champ dealt with it just as good as a Work Champ would have
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220405/163de54a10dc0b19f50fb636ea589f93.jpg)

In the pictures the length of the large Phillips seems different between the two - longer on the Swiss Champ, but in reality they are pretty similar, while the one on the Work Champ is surely beefier.

Anyway, first Swiss Champ mission accomplished
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220405/d5c9239fbc43616f913c1790805526f2.jpg)

P.S.: for years I’ve been pretty skeptical about the main blade length on a Swiss Champ, so today I’ve also tried to cut bread with it. Worked surprisingly well - yes, two cuts were needed - one for each side, but since the blade itself is thinner - it slices pretty well

Though just now I compared two blades making salad - hands down the Work Champ wins for me

Used ruler on my new Swiss Champ to measure width of my foot before confirming an order of a pair of Crocs. Awesome campsite asset for when you need to change from hiking boots to something more light and breathable. I hope I’ll only need those for hiking later in the future, but again - we have this tiny pause in the war so we are doing our best to prepare for all sorts of scenarios, including being on a constant run with all your possessions on your shoulders

You know, Swiss Champ is cool and all, but if I’d have to choose one Vic - It’d still be my Work Champ :)

I've always said a 111mm Fisherman would be a great idea, especially if they could make a fillet-type blade for it. I think the size would be better for cleaning fish than a 91mm. That's why most fishing knives are bigger than four inches closed--often closer to 5.  Thus, a scaled-up fish scaler tool.

Well I’ve got a confession to make
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220409/fa5ca6b36efb59f320d4f9b3f4ff9e2a.jpg)

I may have been too carried away lately stocking different kinds of useful things for whatever scenario may happen soon, including SAKs, of course - better safe than sorry in case sales will be terminated and one will only be able to use money as a tinder
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220409/e52b7a4188e4b39cf40cf8c7d238813a.jpg)


So now I guess I’m having all those with me and at least me and my close ones are well supplied with the best tools money can buy - now I know that from experience. So in case I’ll have to cook in the field, build shelters or fix anything I possibly could - I’ll be ready.

As for the Spirit X - I denied the idea of buying it for quite a few years. I’ve checked it out at the stores, again dismissed it due to it’s short main blade, seemingly soft blade steel, inability to disassemble and replace broken tool parts in case I’d ever need to, lack of bit adapters - all the bases pretty well covered by my Wave.

But I left my Wave and all it’s accessories at home plus from a quality stand point you all now the difference between LM and Vics. Plus Vic steel is really rust resistant and the edge won’t chip unlike the one LM uses - super important for the long survival situations. So when I found this awesome kit on Amazon 100$ cheaper than in Ukraine - I decided not to wait any longer

Oh, Rizio, I hear you - I’ve been a 101% LM fan before actually trying Victorinox tools. I bough a Forester first at a local hiking gear store, went on Tour du Mont Blanc hike with it - nice and light to carry around, large enough blade cuts vegs and bread in one go and therefore ladies kept asking “for that cool sharp black knife” while cooking all the time (our instructor had a Wave btw that he never really used there)
Then I took that forester to the top of Mont Blanc - it saved the day when one of our team members had a cheapo headlight that got a loose screw at night when we started our ascent and those headlights were our only light sources- I used a can opener / flathead screwdriver to fix it right there in no time.

All that time my LMs stayed at home because I knew they’ll get rusty if I wash them up in a melting creek.

Then I bought a Work Champ - my precious . By that moment no questions left for me and my use case scenarios in terms of Vic vs LM

I started out the same way.  It was a PST that brought me to the Forum.  I then picked up a Rebar, several Super Tools, etc.  I tried a Swisstool out and the rest is history :facepalm:. I have both a full size Swisstool RS and a Spirit, and the Spirit is every bit as rugged as the RS.  I carry the RS at work mainly for the ruler, which I use for my job.  Both are incredible.  Victorinox has treated my family and I incredibly well as far as warranty work goes, do I'm very partial to the brand.  That and I carried a Huntsman exclusively for 32 years so I definitely know the toolset.

Yep, can’t go wrong with Victorinox
Unlike most of what we buy and use today Victorinox tools will last for as long as we need them if used properly - that’s one of the key reasons to buy for me

In the past few days, I've used the bottle opener to open a bottle of Mexican Coke with dinner and the package opener to open some plastic wrapping on a box after grocery shopping.

I'm on board with Vic quality. I started out with LMs and sold all of them and I've only rocked a Spirit the last few years or so. I sent one in for warranty work on the scissors and had nothing but a great experience.

I’ve been cutting paracord with the SwissChamp this afternoon, making new fobs for some of my alox knives.

(https://i.imgur.com/nM02kKyh.jpg)

I went super simple with the FX fob. Gutted pine green cord. Kind of an overhand knot through the split ring, with the paracord melted and mushroomed on the end, to prevent it from coming loose. Then I stripped all the hardware from the Photon light, and hung it directly.

I Iike the look.  Very minimalist and uncluttered, just like the alox models themselves.

I Ike the look.  Very minimalist and uncluttered, just like the alox models themselves.

I used the Mini Champ's main blade to liberate some button cell batteries from their blister packs. The packs were too small for the cut-and-picker blade to work.

Then I used the blade to pop out the old dead batteries.

Swiss Champ opened a package of replacement parts for it

A toothpick, tweezers, 3 pins, 2 pens, a lanyard and a backup sharpener - decided to have them just in case

I think most people think of the tools literally, like screwdriver for screws, scissors for cutting, wood saw for cutting wood.

So they hear "fish scaler" and think "I don't scale fish - ignore it". The scaler's uses are limited only by your imagination.

Thanks actually life is almost normal here in the western part, though it is the worst possible nightmare in the east and south

As for the sharpener - I surely recommend it - two most popular angles, works really well, no need to use and clean any oils, quite portable so you can easily bring it wherever you’d want to. Diamond sharpeners do their job really well without any pressure and using just the knife’s weight - same for the ceramic rods.

Quite frankly I use Victorinox sharpener for all my Vics, but this Lansky is awesome for my Buck 110 or anything else.

I also have another Lansky guided sharpening system - also does well, but needs oil - feels kinda greasy

Sorry, no pictures.

Used the locking blade on my S557 to cut out some compartment dividers in a plastic odds-and-ends organizer. It's a really cheap one from Walmart so doesn't have the dividers that slide out to rearrange the compartments.

The S557 gets very little use, but it just felt safer using the locking blade instead of a 91mm SAK folding blade.

I needed something to scrape off a 1/4" spot of Gorilla Super Glue from the back of a Photon Micro Light. (Failed attempt at gluing on a magnet.) The chisel took it right off!

The chisel is a tool that I rarely use, too. It did work in a pinch for removing pieces of Metal Earth models from their fret. Maybe I'll give it a try for a currently running paint stripping project.

Hee hee, old Lefty! I have a 6mm - 8mm adapter for such occasions in my kit, but I have seen people use 2 smaller Allen keys together to do the job (eg a 5mm & 3mm) - good to get you home and the full tool kit. Interesting looking frame - is that all chrome?

Yup. Helkama did these for a year or so in ’82 - ’83 or thereabouts

They were standard Kulkuri XII’s. So nothing special there. I’ve had mine since ’83. It saw quite a lot of abuse and then spend many years in a shed. I pulled it out few years back. Quite some elbow grease was required to get most of the surface rust away from the frame (it still has quite some spots on), changed tires, tape and saddle and it is now used for pottering about in summertime

Yep, I hear ya. It was a case of "I have the Champ in my pocket so I can use it" or "Well, I guess I'm walking from the back yard, around the house, to the garage to get a saw, then back to the back yard". The branches I cut off were about a half inch or less in diameter so the Vic saw cut through them easily.

Perfect example of making do with what I had on me.   :D

The only multi-tools I have are a Wave and a couple of no-name brands. Might be interesting to see how their saws compare with the Vic?
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?
Post by: SteveP on May 23, 2022, 07:09:18 AM
OK, I did a quick, impromptu, non-scientific saw test...

The no-name brand multi-tool doesn't have a wood saw, so that left Vic Champ vs. Leatherman Wave.

I fished a branch out of the yard waste bag and started cutting. The Vic saw cut through it faster than the Wave's.

I've also got an early '60s Champion with angled teeth and a Vic Delemont Evolution 18 so I'll try them as well, tomorrow. Might as well test all the configurations I've got.

I dug through my collection and found a few other tools with saws:
'63 Champion "a"
Vic Delemont Evolution 18
Leatherman Leap
The Hammerhead

My unofficial ranking from best to worst cutting:
Tied for 1st: Vic Swiss Champ and Vic Delemont Evolution 18
Leatherman Wave
'63 Champion "a" - the angled teeth did not cut as well as the straight teeth
Leatherman Leap - it cut, but being less than 2" long, it did not cut well
The Hammerhead

Well, the Mrs wanted our front tree trimmed a little so I had a pair of snips which worked but then this monster needed to come down, only thing I had on me was the FarmerX, so I started cutting through and around then snapped it off, as you can see, it worked! Of course I could have ran in and got my battery operated reciprocating saw but where’s the fun in that? Needless to say this bad boy is in the garage starting to dry out, it’s only 90° (32°c) out so I can only imagine what it is in there,, this should make a nice hiking staff some day!!

Got an issue with my ear - an otitis as doctor said, so Swiss Champ helped with the treatment

Specifically I used scissors to cut bandage and tweezers to dip a tampon I made out of the bandage in the Chlorophyllipt medicine.

One thing I have to say is that the SAK scissors are just great. Sadly I won’t be able to just as easily do this with Spirit scissors

Oh well….Almost I tried to get an address to send it back to Victorinox. They said they contacted Ukrainian reps and could not reach them. I asked for an address in the US since I bought it from Amazon or in Switzerland. Three times. They ignored it and kept saying they can’t reach Ukrainian reps. So I sold that faulty one for an honest price to a lad who didn’t care about the wire cutters and bought a proper one off DLT. Now I can finally relax and enjoy, but that “lifetime warranty” claim is sadly just smurf

I have to say that LM responded within hours when I needed their help with Ukrainian service center providers

At some point of this weeks-long email conversation I got so pissed that I took my LM Wave and bought and installed a new S30V blade instead of a pretty worn 154CM one I installed years ago. Because I can and because I love things I can fix myself

But anyway. This Spirit X from DLT is perfect and doesn’t have any factory scuffs or any other weird stuff my first one from Amazon had

I am getting some use out of it thanks  :tu: However, you are correct, plier usage is wanting  ::)

The Italians love potatoes but they don't really have the variety that we do here  :(

Essentially, they sell one type of small waxy potato and it gets used for everything (I have never seen a good old Jacket Potato being served ANYWHERE!!!)

However, the family love the traditional British style of oven roasted ones, they really only do the pot-roasted style. They awlso love a good old roast dinner with awl the trimmings (Yorkshire pud' etc)  :tu:

Yep, my wife was not really into Prosecco last night, so it was just me for the most part and we have some left for tonight

One thing I have to note is how easy and comfortable it is to use a blade on a Spirit X - I tried to do this same thing with other knives and this one is just surprisingly good

It’s been a while since I used my favorite SAK - a Work Champ.

Today a water tap has gone loose again in this place we rent during the war and Work Champ pliers grabbed and tightened a hex wrench more than enough to have the tap fixed.

I believe it’s a friendly reminder to never underestimate those seemingly tiny SAK pliers - they can go where my fingers can’t and shouldn’t and they can do what my bare hands can’t and most of the time should not do either

I feel like I’m in a talk show of sorts where you have to fix other people’s home stuff for free

Found two loose handles earlier and got a few minutes to get them fixed today.

Screws pulled using Spirit X pliers - too stiff to be pulled out by hand, then I applied some cool fast-drying epoxy glue and screwed back into place using a ratchet tool

Well, this wasn't today so I hope you all will forgive me but....

I flew down to Colorado last week to help my sister and her family. They just moved there from Atlanta and were trying to get their new house set up, etc. Well, I was working with my brother-in-law to run some CAT5 cable around the house and I was up in the attic. We needed to get a mounting plate on the back side of the ceiling drywall to mount a wireless access point.

The attic is very not-finished... no floor (not even plywood laid across the joists) and no lights at all. So I had a small flashlight with me in the attic. This was difficult because I was basically climbing around the rafters up there. A headlamp would have been ideal, but we didn't have one. I got to the place where the mounting plate was supposed to go and realized I needed both hands!

Out comes the Super Tinker! I used the main blade - jammed it into the nearest rafter and looped the flashlight's lanyard over my SAK so I could use both hands AND actually see what I was doing at the the same time. Fortunately, the blade (and tip) was no worse for wear from this experience since the rafters were a relatively soft wood.

Sadly I don’t have a photo of the knife in action but I stumbled on some beehives and stopped to look and take a picture. Sadly while taking the pic a bee stung me right on my forehead! I used the tweezers of my executive to pull out the stinger, ouch I’ve learned my lesson to keep a respectful distance!

We’ve moved to a new apartment - smaller, cleaner, it has an air conditioner, it’s closer to a local gym and it’s 3 times cheaper

But right after I plugged in our router I’ve discovered a pretty much the same issue we had with a previous place - badly installed Ethernet connector.

For some reason here they use only 4-wired Ethernet cables instead of regular 8-wired cat.5 or cat.6

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220701/c9c7e5dcb5f9e8b8722f53c4c39796d3.jpg)

It works fine, but looks weird and from my experience I can tell that this connection can get quite unreliable

Anyway, I used my Spirit X Plus to cut the badly installed plug
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220701/4381b0c93d2ee94e445b0c374cfdc11f.jpg)

Then I used my beloved Spirit X wire stripper

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220701/011f8def9f9bed6035a8e1f402615ca5.jpg)

Sadly I still had to use dedicated  crimping pliers, but at least I had some joy with the Spirit

New place - new challenges

Today started bright and early - at 6:30 AM to be precise - I woke up to some conversations that seemingly happened right next to our bed in our room After a few moments of careful listening I found a hole in the floor with a piece of a badly cut tube in it and I even could see our neighbor’s place through it. That’s how I could hear their radio or TV loud and clear for the entire night

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220702/11e73886957bf5f5df7c19e2089c5fb1.jpg)

No action shots, but I used my LM Wave’s saw to trim the excess tube and stuffed a hole with cotton - we’ll see if it’ll work tonight .

Later I’ve found a similar hole in the kitchen. But anyway.

This place may become a tad better for sleeping after I patched that hole, but it totally sucks as a workplace, which is a must for us at the moment. So I’ve found that Jysk has some cool tables at 50% discount, found one I liked and brought it home. Spirit X Plus took care of the rest. And my god I’m grateful for having at - I used quite a few tools during the assembly and the ratchet is absolutely priceless

Here’s the end result:

The Airbnb we’re staying at has a garage which we’ve been stringing up wet swimsuits and towels in. This morning the door into the garage wouldn’t open, potentially ruining our planned day at the beach!  Luckily I had my Swisstool Spirit X on my belt and was able to disassemble the doorknob. Then I used the pliers to actuate the door latch from within, winning us the garage back. I didn’t take any photos during the process but got one afterwards.

Yet another fun day in this apartment

My wife complained that a door in the kitchen won’t open as it should and poked me how is that even possible I haven’t fixed it yet

I looked it the mechanism with a handle pushed down and the problem was surely there
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/eeb22e4fbbef57525cd3d795bd43a320.jpg)

Well here I was once again with my Spirit X Plus - ratchet proved to be invaluable as usual:
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/42a739435127d380364ee7d6026ce76c.jpg)


It allows to reach places I won’t be able to get to otherwise
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/265d4ebcfb058397bd69ed8537b302b4.jpg)

Used pliers to pull a pretty greasy part and keep my fingers clean
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/a279a4f12ba6a7b7eaf2ac4a4ec1a36b.jpg)


Having disassembled the handle the problem was really a tad more serious than I expected - mechanism was a cheap ceramic piece of garbage
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/d80b35099ad84ca7b6064c9e8111f7f5.jpg)

Thankfully we love not far from a hardware store so I bought and installed a replacement
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/95226dc3f1dd70d5f59bfafe20c49306.jpg)

Though it seems like a direct replacement I actually had to fiddle with it a little bit: bent with pliers and filed an original part a little to make it a perfect fit with a new part - no problem for a Vic metal file
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/739c47deae5ec09cba5dfca288215e8d.jpg)



Being done with that later on that day we invited a speSmurfpillst to fix a fridge we have here - it makes lots of noise every now and then. He came for a second time already while I was not at home, not only did he not fix it again having of course charged us more, but he also wrecked a power outlet I had to fix.

Warning: don’t forget to turn the power off before working with outlets, switches and so on!

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/59ecd2635f8e56db63fb1dd6af5b1e4c.jpg)

Disassembled with a ratchet again
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/2d68d0b58f72d67ee5bad8b375d360b4.jpg)

And then for the first time really I used a can opener as a flathead screwdriver on a Spirit X - a perfect fit for this particular job
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220710/51f7f50b91044a8ee09d35879ed67b61.jpg)

All done and ready for more

Our electric kettle stopped working. It wasn't really surprising since it's at least 10 years old and it is a cheapo brand to begin with. But before I go get a new one I wanted to see what's wrong with it. Plus my new Workchamp was itching for something to do. So I took it apart

(https://i.postimg.cc/d37xd0cK/9438-CB6-B-1737-4430-9-E34-DD877-B0-E3619.jpg)

Those inline Philips are awesome, I found it more comfortable to use than in a plier based MT.

(https://i.postimg.cc/2SNKbmHP/A211-C03-C-5-ABA-44-E5-8-CC3-E89945455099.jpg)

My initial suspect was the switch and particularly the relay that's in it. But testing the circuit with another favorite multi tool  of mine I found no fault.

(https://i.postimg.cc/tCxc47z3/A4-DFC576-29-B2-48-BE-9044-FE6454-A57-D33.jpg)

So I decided to take apart the base. And surprise surprise - a Chinese security heads on the bolts. I have seen such bits, I even think I have a few somewhere. But that's the first time I ever encounter such bolt in person  :D Thought it would be faster if I just make myself a bit, rather than trying to find one I'm not sure I even have. I could have cut it more carefully and evenly but I needed it for something screwed in plastic so  :whistle:

(https://i.postimg.cc/WpKKV00p/F52-A7-AB7-F6-B5-4-F34-9115-E5-AC7-DA960-DD.jpg)

(https://i.postimg.cc/prg1BtP5/A7-EA6-E20-5-DFF-4-DE5-9734-81-BC1-FF52-EFE.jpg)

And here is what I found, not surprising it stopped working and actually I wondered how it worked so far

Some 1200 sandpaper and it was shining again. Assembled everything back and voila - it's working again

(https://i.postimg.cc/85cKQC5r/C8-F436-F2-FEF5-4-A59-A3-DB-843-D57-EFB6-E9.jpg)

Some 1200 sandpaper and it was shining again. Assembled everything back and voila - it's working again

Then I told my wife something like "if this thing breaks 6-7 more times and I repair it with this SAK, it will basically pay for it's self"  :twak:
Way to go and a pure joy to read

Those in-line Phillips are amazing on a Work Champ - the best I’ve ever tried on a SAK or any other MT, especially a long slim one

And true - a return on reasonable SAK investment does come in no time at all (how do you define reasonable though?… )

Came out of the shower and wanted to brush my teeth, turned the water tap towards the sink and the main tube left in my hands

No big deal though - I put it back into place in no time and tightened by hand as much as I could
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220714/3e656adf59cdf238c540f3964cb86938.jpg)

Then I put some duct tape on the Spirit X pliers to prevent any scratches and tightened it just a little bit more

Wanted to take a selfie, yet had no tripod. Thought about it, then used a Victorinox Spirit to be used as a unipod for a Ricoh Theta SC2 (360° camera).
Worked out well. Should of used the GoPro 6 Black, it makes far sexier photos.

Awl stuck in the post, thin screwdriver to hold up inside the extension I epoxied to the Theta SC2.
Show content
Over the past year the Theta SC2's nylon tripod adapter broke from use and vibration. Needed a fix, so bought a short adapter, and used Gorilla epoxy to permanently glue the extension in. I do not understand why companies use nylon adapters on their cameras, when most everyone else uses brass. Ricoh's minimum fee to look at any 360 camera is $200 minus shipping. So yeah, $20 is a far better deal.

It might be an unpopular opinion but I love the Victorinox pliers. I haven’t had my Deluxe Tinker long but I used them several times before I had to put it in a drawer for a month for the Spartan Challenge.

I found them to be very handy in quite a few situations, especially for someone who does a lot with small electronics and kids toys.

Kadjar with the 1,5 diesel engine.
There are few issues with the design and exeution methinks. Firstly the cap is in a hole and does not have normal threads. This is a page from Mercedes playbook. However in a Mercedes the cap is just the cap. In Renault the dipstick is attached the the cap. So, in theory opening the cap pulls out the dipstick. However, the material used is plastic, so it only works once or twice. After that one needs to pull the dipstick out. With pliers...

To add to the injury, there is no way to check oil level other than the dipstick.
Renault has loaded the thing with all kinds of moderm widgets and electric what nots but oil has to be checked from under the bonnet.

So the dipstick is under the cap where you add more oil in ? Interesting.
Also, I believe that the small diesels engines for A and B series Mercedes are made by Renault so no wonder they share some sh..tuff.

As a result, I had to use the blade on my Wenger Highlander to free them from their cardboard prison until I can get them into some padded envelopes.

I used the metal saw in my new SwissChamp to open two slots in the remaining of a floor siphon broken plastic cover in the bathroom. It had no way to grip it in order to unscrew. I was finally able to use a hammer and a flat screwdriver to unscrew it slowly. The round plastic piece where it screws got broken though. So it’s still a work in progress. The siphon itself seems to be ok.

I used the pliers in my Swisschamp to retrieve my library card from a slot in my wallet. The card is the size of a rewards card the goes on your keyring, but I keep it in my wallet so it doesn't get torn up. Well, it slid down on its side and my sausage fingers couldn't reach it, but the SC came to the rescue once again.

Last night I did a case swap on my desktop PC. What I mean by that is that I took all the parts out of my old tower and put them in a new larger tower that has more space and more/better fans.

In the process, I used the bottle opener on my S557 to help remove the back panel on the tower to access some of the cables. Now any SAK could have done that. But the S557 really shined when it came to the new case! I used the in-line Phillips a few times but I also used the pliers! I needed to add a couple of motherboard standoffs to the case for my mATX motherboard. They are hex-shaped so I put them in as far as my fingers would take them and used the pliers to tighten them. The pliers worked great for that (I'm sure the Deluxe Tinker pliers would have been just as good).

I used the large blade on my 91mm Ranger to open a pack of gum and open some boxes at work. Also used it to stab into a cactus that I had just cut down so I could pick it up for disposal. I used the canopener’s screwdriver tip to pry staples out of drywall in a vacant apartment at work. I used the saw to trim some of the larger, dried out, dead branches from a rose bush. Used the file and small blade on my nails to trim up some of them. Used the straight pin to tuck in a loose string on my work shirt to prevent it from unraveling. Used the toothpick after lunch for what a toothpick does best, and, of course, I cleaned it before reinserting it back into its scale slot. I think that’s about it, LOL.

Here's a good one!

I was playing Battleship (the board game) with my daughter and noticed that some of the holes in the boards were too small for the pegs. I used the reamer function of the awl on my Climber to make them a little bigger as I found holes that were too small while we played.

Also, I am 0-2 to my 6 year old daughter in Battleship at this point...

WARNING: This is not a post for more sqeamish folks. As I consider most of MTO's members to belong to the tougher sort, I'll post this. You have been warned. I'm not responsible for pics in your mind!  :whistle:

Well, the title says, what did you use your SAK on today? It wasn't today, but two weeks ago, but I didn't had time to post yet.

So, I decapitated mealworms with the scissors of my newly gifted Victorinox Huntsman. Sounds like the deed of a sadistic madman. Maybe a religious fanatic with extremely strict diet rules? Or a Star Trek Klingon fan who hates his gagh always crawling from the table plate?

Nope. It's all for a better cause. Read on.

It was 21:40 and only half an hour left in my late shift, when Ron approached me. He's the foreman of the cargo/night shift, the guys who put our commissioned goods on our trucks, so that our drivers can start delivery in the morning. He's almost as good equipped as me and one of two co-workers that I'm aware of actually edcing (the other guy being a real knife-nut). He likes to show off a bit and is rather extroverted, whereas I consider myself as adherent of the grey man philosophy (stand back, run below the radar, but be prepared). He's quite a character, so to speak, and it shows in the nicknames given to him: day-sleeper, grave-digger, or simply The Bat.

So Ron had a security shoe cardboard box under his arm and told me he wanted to show me one of his relatives... :ahhh  I opened the lid, which had some rows of holes punctured, and found a small bat, about two inches long and barely alive. It was found two halls away on a pile of cardboard sheets, and nobody knew what to do.  :dunno: Ron has even called the police station to no avail (in fact the police had no idea and only knew batman :facepalm:). Other possibilities like the animal rehab center were out of reach due to the time.

Then he asked me: "You're the nature guy here, so could you help this little one and contact the appropriate sites?" Well, several years ago we tried to rescue some orphan baby mice, and I promised to help. Ron was rather glad when I took the cardboard box to my car.

(http://PSX_20221005_164734.jpg)

At home I told my gf we've been foster parents again, and the little bat needed our help. We tried to give him some water, via a pipette, but he didn't want to drink. Then we tried to gve him a flight possibility. With a glove I ushered him into position on a housewall outside. After a while he managed to hang upside down. I went inside to get a camera, and Barbara waited with him, the shoebox in hand. That was good, for since I returned the next minute, he just fell right off the wall, luckily into the cardboard box my SO had ready. We decided to go to bed, and equipped the box with some paper towels.

The next morning after breakfast snd my gf off to work, I had several calls after trying to learn a bit about bats. The little guy (he was a male, no mammary glands) could be a Pipistrellus pipistrellus or common pipistrelle in english. The german term is Zwergfledermaus, which means dwarf bat.

I hear you, pfrsantos, there might be strange relationships between dwarves and gnomes  :twak:

Finally I got an expert from the bavarian organization for bird conservancy (they have a wide spectre) on the phone. Turned out he got Covid-19 and couldn't leave his home.  :rant: Told me my proceedings so far were quite professional; accepting no water could mean the bat was sick and could die shortly. I could try to feed him with mealworms. Now comes the ugly part: being accustomed to flying moths and gnats as prey, bats must be trained for accepting mealworms as food. Therefore, the mealworm has to be beheaded, the intestines pulled out, and the residual innards pressed out and fed.
No easy task, but I was willing to try this. The expert wished me luck, and I went off buying some mealworms.

It went better than expected. The scissors of my newly gifted Huntsman saw a lot of use the next days... After his first three portions of mealworm, the aptly named "Ronnie" decided to take a drink from the pipette. So three times a day a feeding session took place, about an hour, for eight to ten mealworms and several drops of water. Ronnie was still rather lethargic, but his appetite was growing, and the rest of day & night he could sleep.

(http://PSX_20221005_164809.jpg)

After some days, he was able to feed on whole mealworms, and my Huntsman's scissors could be put to rest.

(http://PSX_20221005_164932.jpg)

On the evening of Monday, Oct 3rd, the feeding session was different. He managed to devour seven mealworms and three portions of water in five minutes, and tried to shiver and move more agile. Time for release  :woohoo: His weight rose from 4,8 grams to 6 grams, too. A good sign.  :tu:

(http://PSX_20221005_164835.jpg)

So at 19:00 we drove to my workplace (outside the halls, of course), where we opened the box, he literally ran up the tree, I didn't manage to get a goodbye photo. In about four meters height he flew off, rose to ten meters, took a circle back as if to say "bye", and was gone in the dark.

Our garden birds feasted the following days on the remaining mealworms...  :whistle:

If you read this far on this verrry long post, you might have guessed it was a really absorbing experience. I even forgot to donate my usual 20€ at the end of september, and missed SurgeUKs giveaway ... :dwts: But as one might say, important things shift when somebody becomes parent (or foster parent).

We are really happy the whole story got its happy ending... :hatsoff:

Good work, Tinker Gnome! The only bats I’ve ever handled were ones my parents’ cat would catch from time to time - no idea how she did it as she wasn’t exactly a prolific hunter! Amazingly the bats were un-damaged, and after a bit of recovery time, I was able to release them (away from a disappointed cat, obviously!) and let them fly off into the night…. Poor things - we speculated that the bats must have been confused by a yawning cat and thought it was a cave to roost in!  :rofl:

I actually used that hook! Twice!

First time was trying to pull the flap on a thin paperlike cardboard box. The product in the box was tight to the cardboard and the flap would not give. Then I recalled seeing a video where a guy stuck the hook inside a box and twisted it to pull the flap. I figured what the heck and tried it, and it worked.

Second time was removing a metal basket out of a hot instant pot that I had just boiled eggs in. Yeah, it’s a no brainer, but hey, it worked, and really it was the best tool around for the job, so why not?

Nothing like a Hiker to clear a hiking trail.  :like:

As a maintenance tech at an apartment complex, today was inspection day. Since I’ve began carrying a SAK I’ve been able to make many on the spot repairs using just the knife and it has saved me a trip back with tools later. Today was no exception. I tightened about a dozen loose screws on doorbells and door knobs, and even repaired one deadbolt lock that was just about to fall completely out of the door. Also was able to unlock several doors within the apartments using the bottle opener screwdriver where people had them locked to keep us out of the rooms to prevent discovery of damages or other things.

We change air filters while there also, so the awl was used to open the boxes, and the large blade was used to cut the box flaps off, all but one, and the remaining flap got a smaller U shaped flap cut into it to fold up and then use the whole flap like a carry handle for the box of filters.

I’m carrying a Ranger. I chose it because it seemed to have the most amount of tools while still having a small enough overall size to feel good in hand. Now I’m looking at the Handyman and starting to think “what’s a few more millimeters in width when I can have those pliers too.” Or maybe just get a Deluxe Tinker and carry them side by side and gain a dedicated philips too. I think I’m kinda going SAK crazy. LOL!
Title: Re: What did you use your Sak on today?

I can see the Ranger being a good SAK for apartment maintenance. A Mechanic or a Special Mechanic (https://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Special+Mechanic) would get you the pliers (which can come in very handy) in a slimmer package.

Up until now I had not really considered the possibility of two knives. I guess if I did that, then I’d have a good reason to break out a grinder and start modifying some blades to keep tool redundancy to a minimum. I’m thinking turn the tip of the bottle opener into a chisel/scraper. Maybe even cut a 7/16 hex wrench into the cap lifter for loosening left behind coax cables (people abandon the cable company’s routers and modems all the time when they move out). Turn the can opener into a hook blade. Straighten out the edge shape of the small blade, turning it into a wharncliffe blade. I‘ve also read that a 25° bevel on a knife edge is still sharp but more robust to retain the edge longer for heavier use, so I’d consider changing the angle of the large blade’s edge grind to see how that goes. Or maybe not do anything to it and just keep one large blade reserved for cutting food at lunch time.

One more thing I did with the Ranger (now yesterday) was saw off a tree limb thicker than my wrist. The saw was probably only 1/2” longer than the branch was in diameter. Took 9 minutes, but I got it done. The wood was green around the outer edges but the inner diameter was dark and seemed to be pretty hard. This was on a red bud tree.

I used the awl on my Explorer Plus to make 6 holes in the plastic liner of my kitchen garbage can.  These holes allow air to escape so the garbage bag seats fully in the liner and doesn't poof up causing me to say potty words.  Situated about 3" from the bottom of the liner, they are high enough that any garbage bag leaks will still be retained by the liner.  Bonus tip:  keep a few bags, or a whole roll of bags, under the bag being used for easy access.

Exactly! It came with a butterfly clutch on the back, which must be a replacement. It doesn't seem to fit quite right.

And I would call it a mini Huntsman. kamakiri did an inlay of the same graphic (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,88590.msg2305610.html#msg2305610), so it must have been an anniversary pin.

I used the Philips driver on my Spirit to tighten screws on a doorknob and then the scraper to get a couple labels off medicine bottles.

Multiple things on the Super Tinker were used as well. The awl to pierce a hole in some packaging, can opener to open a can of cranberry sauce, scissors to cut something and then the backside Philips and small Philips to tighten screws on a dining room chair.

I used the screwdriver on the end of the file on my Rambler to tighten the screws on a door knob that had worked themselves loose. It’s really good for that and I bet a Classic SD would work even better because the whole SAK is thinner.

I tried the phillips first and the head was just a bit too small.

One more for last night!

I used the excellent Phillips on my Rambler to change the batteries on one of my daughters toys. I swear, that was the smallest battery compartment screw on a child's toy I've ever seen! I've used the back Phillips on a Tinker on most of my kids' toys but it would not have worked on this one. That thing was eye-glass screw sized!

Fortunately, the Rambler's 58mm combo tool Phillips was perfect for the job.  :drink:

 :iagree: That 58mm phillips is wonderful. Was at the store to get coin cell batteries for partners "fairy" lights.  I thought she knew which she needed but she didn't open the back on the lights.  Manager to the rescue.  I love that its magnetized as well. 2032 was the cell and she bought nearly all they had.  Turns out each light took 2 cells and she had quite a few lights that needed new cells.

Yesterday, I used my SAK to change a lightbulb, LOL!

At work we have the most annoying ceiling lights in these apartments you’ve ever seen. The glass cover is like a solid shallow bowl and it twists into place rather than using any sort of set screws to secure it. The bulbs burn out inside them and have to be replaced periodically. Well, for some reason, maybe heat related, the glass feels like it welds itself in place and you cannot get it off to save your life. It is wedged solid! What’s worse is that many of the lights are poorly installed and sometimes the whole fixture twists off of the mount screws instead so the whole thing just drops down in your hands, hanging by the wires, with the glass cover still firmly wedged in place, making it now even harder to get it off. Worse still is that all of them are mounted to old work boxes and the little plastic tabs are also just as likely to break while I’m fiddling with trying to twist the glass cover off. When that happens, then I go from changing a light bulb to doing a complete removal, repair, and reinstall.

But, I’ve discovered that I can use the bottle opener on my 91mm SAK as a gentle pry tool and go around the light prying against the cover just a bit and it will then twist right off. This has been a tremendous help. I can go into these apartments with just a bulb and a SAK and feel reasonably sure that’s all I need. In and out in 5 minutes. Otherwise I normally have to leave and return with a ladder, a new ceiling box, and a set of tools, and spend 30 minutes on a job that shouldn’t even need to be done.

I’ve now done this several times with great success and I no longer dread changing these bulbs.

I lost the place I used to live so don't have space for tree this year, but got a tiny one instead and some mini ornaments. Unfortunately they didn't include any strings or hanging wire so I improvised with some paper clips and the wirecutter function of the plier tool to put them up.

Lots of swisschamp use today that was unexpected to say the least.

A closet door fell off and the screwdriver helped remedy that. Our house is falling apart so that was kind of expected.

Pliers got some various use moving a hot toaster oven rack mid cook and pulled a stuck kitchen drain plug out.

Then, took a trip to harbor freight to take a look at a tool chest and used the fish scaler to measure small drawer height. Couldn’t get it as they were out of stock.

The fish scaler then got some very unglamorous use along with the cap lifter, small screwdriver, and mag lens to clean dog mess out of our shoes.

Oh, and the pliers retrieved a diaper cream applicator from under the changing table.

I bought a new car battery, and I used the large flat screw driver on my Climber to pop off the little plastic covers that were on the battery  terminals when I was installing it.

Sadly I forgot to take a picture

Awlso battery related.

I used the combo tool on the Compact to prise open a smoke detector to replace the back-up battery.

I didn't think 9v batteries were a thing anymore & only managed to find a single one after visiting several stores  ::)

They're still somewhat readily available in the States. I stocked up on them when I thought I'd collect old transistor radios. That plan rapidly went by the wayside, so I now have way to large a supply of 9Vs. :facepalm:

The new favorite trio made quick work of small tasks with the kiddo.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Kiddo said “daddy we need your tool,” and off to work we went. He helped with nearly all our tasks and learned about some SAK safety along the way.

Cleaned off some muddy shoes and replaced some toy truck batteries with the Midnite MC.  Sharpened a new pencil (I did that one) and helped me to tightened the door handle with the Explorer.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]

Then we had to play hot wheels and to avoid a meltdown I rigged 2 pieces that don’t connect with a hair pin using the Spirit. Actually worked!  Mom wanted the fridge child lock off so back to work.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Had the opportunity to teach the kiddo to safely use pliers and cut some zip ties with the wire cutters.  He was so proud to snip the zip tie ends. Lost a piece of the baby gate so zip tied until we find it.  I finished up the job trimming and filing the sharp ends.

Here you can find them everywhere, at discount or big market. The one I drunk come from discount and was cheap , but there are also from more known brand, like Aperol, Martini. They are quite expensive, but better in taste of course.

Yes I know... I remember the old commercial with the talking gorilla: Gino dai mi un Crodino.  :D

It tastes something scpecial, sweet but bitter at the same time  :like:

Those were good times. I got somewhat nostalgic at the moment. It were times when we used to watch MacGyver on Italia 1. This is the main reason I begun with SAKs.  :climber:

Spirit X got some work today. Fixed some split housing on a phone charger, removed with the wire scraper and covered with heat shrink. Also adjusted bathtub door frame so I can re-caulk and seal it. 

Didn’t get any pics on our walk but I used the wire cutters to trim a thorny vine hanging over the path and saw to cut an exposed root that was a tripping hazard.

I’ve done a few things around the house today with the Explorer, but only documented one task… the mighty can opener. I much prefer LM style however this guy was in my pocket and accessible. I was just thinking about how I rarely use a can opener at home until I grabbed this can. I suppose I continue to underestimate needing it. This happens once per box with these cans.

Great uses, gents  :climber:

Decided to clean a bathroom vent the other day - gosh there was a lot of gunky dust for some reason. As we still live in the western part of Ukraine I can tell you this city is just drowning in dust compared to Kyiv - it's getting in even through the closed windows and doors

Anyway, as I removed the top cover I've found that whoever installed the vent could have done a better job - one screw was missing, others were all different, so I grabbed my trusty Work Champ and made it right this time.

Btw after cleaning with wet wipes and a vacuum cleaner the fan inside the vent now works way quieter

Trying a fix project. Air purifier power cable chewed by our pets. We had a faulty cable on a similar model so I thought it’d be a quick replacement like that one.

Opened up bottom compartment with the explorer and MC, but no go.

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

It looks like this one requires removing screws from the top, but the fan grate isn’t removable. So, measuring depth I need for some long reach drivers.

Thank you everyone! This is our third and the joy of bringing a new one home never gets old! The thought of cutting the cord with my SAK went through my mind but I'd venture to guess the Super Tinker I had in my pocket at the time would not have met their sterile expectations! haha. Momma and baby both share the middle name "Rose" so it only made sense to order a little Classic SD with a rose on the scale from Swiss Knife Shop for both of them.

Used the saw and the small blade in the SwissChamp to cut a long wood stick and remove some harsh edges for my child to play with. Did a little bit of rounding in the tips and engraved the initial of her name. She loved it.

Later the small scissors in the MiniChamp were handy to cut a loose thread from her dress (happens so many times, that we take it for granted).

I had to relace my boots while at a local garden center; as I had a bad case of heel slip that was driving me nuts. I'd double-knotted the bloody things, and I had left my rigging knife back home.

I was surprised to find the divot tool on the Golfer was thin enough to do the same job of undoing the knotted mess. I have the Golfer as it was MUCH cheaper than a Compact (like ten bucks at the time), and it seems now that divot tool is finding a practical use. I have a Craftsman 4-in-1 on the lanyard, so I don't miss the combo tool. Besides, I have a Rebar on me as well.

Used it for taken care of my broken nails and footcare, for food, the hook for removing stakes, small blade for cutting rope. Trully an awesome companion knife.
It ended up with sand and other stuff but its all clean and oiled now. There's just some rubbing on the small blade joint.

Seriously though - she tends to put iron on the ironing board while it’s hot all the time while she changes the position of the short or whatever - I believe it gets gunky right at that moment. Tried to convince her to stop doing so, but it’s easier for me to just clean the iron every now and then

I used my SAK on this. A friend of mine came with this and asked if I needed it. I took a quick look and believe it's a Mountaineer (at first I thought it was an grand prix but I did some more reading) and offered to get it user ready for him instead and took it home with me. It was dirty and the tools would not open, but a quick first wash and I could pry open the tools using my edc SAK.

I will keep cleaning it, sharpening the blades and give it a new toothpick before I give it back. It need a lot more love and cleaning for the tools to get their snap back. I will keep the original solid scales

Yes, never in a dishwasher!  :tu:

Absolutely not, I have heard about it but never tried it my self..

It's now cleaned, dry, oiled, sharpened and works almost as it supposed to. Some springs are a bit weak but for a user state it's good enough. Just have to add a toothpick and he will have it back.

At first I almost thought I would have to take it apart, there was a lot of metal dust in it but I think I manage to get most of it out and other than the big blade having a weak snap and the can opener to not flow as gently as I wanted it to there is nothing to complain about and I think he will be happy to get it back.  :climber:

Made a bracelet a tad longer on my Hamilton Jazzmaster Day Date today. Quite frankly it was my first attempt on messing around with a bracelet size - went quite well using just a cheap Chinese tool and a large flathead + pliers on my Work Champ

It’s been a while since I had this watch on my wrist - it loses the practicality game to an Apple Watch despite Hamilton is way more beautiful and inspiring.

Sprit pliers have got quite a bit of use - best usage has been pulling open a storage unit slide handle. Ours is particularly rusted, and there’s just enough of an end piece to grab ahold and push to open/lock.  :multi:

Spirit serrated blade, scissors, and Philips driver have done their fair share of work setting up window AC units. Same for the Explorer handed off the to wife. And, the Alox MC combo tool, slotted, and blade kept the kids happy opening some new toys and installing batteries.

My wife grew to rely on my PBMT or SAK while moving, and we now officially have a convert. His and Hers Explorers. Now she just has to decide if she wants an Alox MC, Midnite MC, or Midnite Manager for the keychain.  The PBMT is the next step, after which I officially become useless   :rofl:

When I was working up in the roof today, fitting a sky light, I had the need for a sharp implement to cut around the insulation for the hole.
Reached into my pocket for my handy Wave with which to make the precision circular incision and ...
"Oh no" there was no knife in my pocket.

I know I put the damn thing there this morning, but a hole in the pocket of my tracky dacks gave the wave an opportunity to escape.

Put the installation on hold to find the wave.
Searched everywhere, could not find the damn thing.
Had to climb down and grab the backup wingman to complete the job and stupidly put it in the same pocket.

Climbed down and frlt for the wingman.....
"Oh no" not again.
Back up the ladder, shined the torch around and spied a silver glimmer hiding in the insulation between the rafter.
It were the wave, but where were the wingman?
Further searching found it hiding just near the man hole cover.
I was complete again.

That's one hole to be patched in my pants.

So, today I used the wingman.

Tightened the screws on my Julbo Explorer 2.0 sunglasses today using an eyeglass screwdriver on Swiss Champ. Love those sunglasses - purchased them for mountaineering, but first it was Covid-19 and now because of war we can’t really travel abroad anymore, but surely will one day . But even in the urban environment their Reactiv technology that adapts to the level of light is just awesome

:iagree:

I had an Apple Watch and a Garmin and stopped wearing them… I should for the HRV notifications, but I just miss the analog. A good watch is hard to beat, especially that Hamilton.
Totally agree, yet notifications do save me a lot of time and effort at work and workouts, so glad I can have the best of both from time to time - wearing a Hamilton on weekends brings true pride of mind

It's the Leatherman bit adapter. Just a small amount of filing and it locks to the flathead. Several years ago I did this mod to a Spartan and I grew quite fond of it so I did it also eventually to this Huntsman

Changed new batteries to several baby gear and inspected a walkie talkie charger that made a rattling sound. Luckily there was no loose electronics inside but a big drop of hot glue that was bouncing around the housing. The small philips bit was needed to get those extra small screws out(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230720/2036cfed4d6122fa28dcf63830039e29.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230720/b56b63f23697e7cce8df6d4e61554866.jpg)

I find it fascinating that shortly after  I say a certain tool on a sak or a leatherman is useless to me, I find something that can be done with that tool only. Just a week or two ago I was talking with a friend about the "perfect" sak for my daily needs. I've been carrying the Spartan and said that I'd probably get the small tinker - because an 84 mm with the screwdriver rather than the corkscrew would be much smaller in pocket and that I have no need for a corkscrew in my life . Today I needed to use that outlet, but it had the child proof cap in it. I could not find the tin key that comes with those caps so I had to improvise. First I tried to pry it out with the can opener, but that did not work out. Then I had an idea ...

I ditnt used the whole potential on my Swisschamp since I got it a few weeks ago, but:
I did cut some buns ,
Used the small blade to opened some packages,
Used the tweezers to pull something..
and the scissors to cut some candle rope..
as well as the magnifier to show a customer how to tell the right direction of the candle rope (where the v is open, it’s up on the candle)

I have to say, how easy the scissors are accessible it’s awesome, on the Delemont Collection it was much more difficult to get them out whit short finger nails..

One of the power outlets in the apartment we rent in the western part of Ukraine during the war is childproof. It is located in a small room where we have an iron and an ironing board and every day my wife struggles to plug an iron into that outlet, so today I decided to finally get it fixed. Unscrewed it using a Phillips on a Swiss Champ
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230730/bfc1aae7551a84d3a2f30e053acd4bed.jpg)

But found the mechanism to not be detachable sadly.

So I found me another way around - remember me complaining about some poor quality Victorinox oil I bought at some point? I used it to lube the outlet safety mechanism a little bit and now it works like a charm

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230730/225a9139511dfe5aa9a628c48ec07831.jpg)

Being done with that I opened a few packages with a small blade and one of those had replacement scales

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230730/634dddd09791ef5ae55c06251d8ecec9.jpg)

So I rewarded my Swiss Champ for being a trustworthy friend today - just as always

P.S. blue and orange lanyards are on the way too

Could've been a better photo and wording I admit.

It's a simple Billhook or vesuri in Finnish.
General tool most versatile, methinks Fiskars also makes some overpriced garbage these days but their vesuris are still good value for money.

Good ergonomics, nice edge and light enough to use with one hand for longer periods, but can generate quite a lot of cutting power if needed.
Typically, if clearing/cutting small branches, brush, trees I'll take a good vesuri instead of a light axe/tomahawk up to an 1,25 inch or thereabouts of thickness to be cut. Beyond that an axe will carry more force making the job easier.

Italians call their version Roncola and at least in Piedmonte back in the days it was also used as a weapon. I'm somewhat familiar with this simple and very effictive template called roncola pienmontese. However, when dabbling with that particular skillset I do use my Fiskars instead of a tradiotional Italian roncola ;)

    You made me curious.  I think I will look for mine in the tool shed.  It is theoretically sharpened on both sides and big as a full sized ax.  Mine has been broken at some time and welded back together.  Somebody 'borrowed' a lot of my tools. 
    I used to see the Woodsman's Pal.  That looked more like your handy one hand tool.  I think somebody still makes a version.  Probably Chinese now.  I like the look of your Fiskars better.  Best wishes.  Gary

Fixed up a jammed parking meter with my Recruit, with a coin and sticks jammed in. 
People where paying with card and said "coins are out of order"...  I'm like, "no they're not"...  Broke out the Recruit and 1 min later i was putting in coins and getting my parking card. People in line thanked me.
No pics taken, but here's a generic one  :climber:

Not exactly a SAK, but I used my Victorinox ratchet and bit kit set to repair a Tomy train, at 5am, for my baby.
It was a nightmare of floating axles willing to fly out of the chassis...

One of my students brought his finger skateboard to me this morning and asked if I could fix it. One of the little nuts holding then wheel on fell off. I was able to use the tweezers on my Explorer to get it threaded back on. I never would have been able to do it with just my fingers.

I was at the office today at the new job (it's a hybrid situation so I'm not there every day). A co-worker had a Coke in a glass bottle from the Mexican restaurant a few blocks away and she was struggling with the cap.

I thought they were mostly twist off these days. She thought so too. The cap was marked as being twist off but it wouldn't budge. So out came the bottle opener on my Hiker and popped the top.

Guess what? The bottle opening wasn't threaded at all. A twist off marked cap apparently got put on a bottle that was made for a traditional cap by mistake.  :dunno:

Had to remove a couple of wall anchors that had busted off in the wall (these aren't the cheap ones you get in big packs from discount stores--these were heavy-duty 30 lb. rated ones I  bought from Lowes) and I tried everything in my toolbox, and even the 91mm corkscrew. Well, except for my screw extractors--can't find them.

Decided the long 5-turn corkscrew on the 108mm GAK would do it, and it did. Got one out enough to yank it out with pliers, and the other fell into the wall cavity. Now all I gotta do is patch the paneling.

One of my tasks at work is sawing metal, mostly for building machines or for facility construction. Today I had to saw a lot of  trapezoidal parts with  45° bevels on a square tube, 220 * 120 * 12,5 mms. At the end of one cut, the saw band got blocked. I lifted the band with the machine a bit, and tried again with lower infeed. Finally the cut was through, but at the end it ran outward and formed a small bulge of about 15 mm. I removed the part from the saw machine and changed the saw band, continuing my work. There wasn't enough material for an additional cut, not even in stock one hall further, so I took a closer look.

The first cut looked good, only three mm on the edge weren't cut, and the protruding bulge hung on it. No way the customer would accept this part. So I produced my trustworthy Swisschamp XL and used the metal saw to finish the part. It took a while and some elbow grease to saw off the bulge of S235 steel, but I succeeded at last. Yours truly can be a stubborn kind of fellow sometimes ... :whistle:  The cut looked quite good, but there was still a small burr at the ridge ... Out came the Leatherman Surge (v.1) from the rucksack, the woodsaw was exchanged for the diamond file, and some strokes fixed the problem.  :tu: Looking good, and for welding double good.

And no, we don't have any hand metal saws at work, just half a dozen machine saws, which do their job ... mostly.  :dunno: Sorry, no pics, all hands were needed here ... :rant:

Alternatively we use a CountyComm 2" widgy pry bar for opening lids from glasses. My SO has been so impressed by this little device, now she's got one of her own. No SAK, of course. But using the bottle opener as a prybar doesn't mean there aren't some more pry bars in our home. :facepalm:

Used my RangerGrip 71 Gardener to chop up peppers and onions in the kitchen today. Not bad for a knife that was bought for farm work. The 2HO blade on this model, coupled with the great ergonomics of the Rangergrip frame both make it great for extended use. If the suckers weren't so darn expensive (and as I understand, have mostly been retired), I'd transfer my users to entirely 130mm 2HO models.

A paper towel with a little spritz of WD40 instantly removes the glue.  Good for lots of other stuff as well.  Sticky locks, light lube, lots of stuff.  Best wishes.  G

 :think:
So far not bad, I carry my Swisschamp a bit sideways so it doesn’t gives too much more thickness to my Pocket, would be good if it had an hole for the lanyard..

But this screw is some special size, so if this gone, the whole clip is kaput .. 

And it doesn’t fit on Delemont Scales as the Keyring is mount at a different angle..

Used the pliers and scissors on my Wenger S557 to do cable terminations on Cat5e and Cat6 ethernet cables today. The serrated scissors work great for trimming up the twisted pairs before crimping the ends on them. The pliers worked great for flattening out the jackets on the Cat6.

Processed some kindling with the Harvester. The saw, pruner blade, and main blade are excellent for such a task. I like the awl as a ferro rod scraper, but today it was good old fat wood and some pine with lighter as my fire starter. Can’t mess about when there’s 20 gallons of sap to boil down.

Used it to make zero adjustments on the red dot.

SAKs are technically multitools and Spirit is technically a SAK, so…
wife decided to renovate our dining room chairs. Spirit Phillips and a ratchet set were used extensively to disassemble the chairs and to reassemble them back after my missis equipped them with a new covering cloth.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240309/a70baadf96de0bf92e79ba1f3b2f6fd3.jpg)


But before that staples had to be removed using a special tool and then the remains were easily pulled out using pliers.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240309/0aa68f567d73da21fca88678829ef0cf.jpg)

Also the pliers came in handy when the cheapo stapler broke to put a washer in place and tighten it up

   I needed a SAK to aid with positioning a trail camera.  You have to station these things so there aren't any small branches or leaves in front of them.  Otherwise, when the breeze moves the leaves, the camera senses the movement and takes a shot.  Of a moving leaf.  Often you have to clear out a few things.  That is what I used my GAK and a saw for.  Easy and fast.  Might get some deer pix.  Who knows?  Best wishes.  G
