I used my PS4 knife blade to cut my finger open while attempting to get into a clam shell package... Then I used the scissors to open a new package of bandaids my wife and I just happened to buy at Target today... What a day.
Opened up an eBay package of a new MAC Tools brake spring tool. With MAC Tools and Leatherman, you have an unbeatable combination. Have thousands invested in both.
Today I used my new Rebar to open my finger. Dang that hurt.
A little too well!
Reinstalled the crappy shower head in the rental and packed away our awesome one.
It's was an imperial fitting on an ikea fitting so there was a brass collet that needed undoing and thanks to the new Rebar plier head on my Black Tide, it wrenched it off no sweat.
Reinstalling it on the shower head was no problem too.

Used my Kick to open the box my Fuse came in.
..... So even when I turn the power off at the fuse box they still have power. Ask me how I know. :ahhh Always use insulated tools around electricity.
Seems quite a lot of electrical tasks are being done with Leatherman mts, maybe it's time for Leatherman to come up with an insulated mt with the usual tools but with a test pen incorporated as well. :tu:
Used the "hook sharpener" groove on the diamond file in my new PST II to sharpen the straight pin from my Vic Compact. That's a handy feature for the diamond coated side of the file. I'm surprised and curious as to why that hasn't been carried over to any of the modern Leathermans. :shrug:

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

That wouldn't make each tool unique and we wouldn't have to buy multiple tools :think: Also, isn't that what modding is all about? :think:

Well I'm not a modder, so that doesn't do me any good. Although I am interested in learning how at some point.

Also true with women as far as I know. As the saying goes, there are four important qualities when seeking a mate: First, you want a woman who likes to have lots of sex. Second, you want a woman who is a good mother and housekeeper. Third, you want a woman who has a great career and makes lots of money. And fourth, it is critically important that these three women never meet each other. :D
Bottom line: don't try to find the one perfect multitool; do combos instead. Spirit S + LM Micra, LM Charge ALX and SAK with scissors, etc... You get what you want, and the tools won't mind. (well, most of the times at least... there are rumours of grumpy tools that have bitten their owners when they lost exclusivity of pocket time... ::)) :D
Essentially, you may need 4 women ;)
(and dozens of multitools :D)

(and dozens of multitools :D)
What does the 4th one do ? :think:
Open the awl on a Surge and tape a sharpie marker to the other handle and you've got a good improvised compass for laying out circles.
A Charge with Surge scissors would be nearly the perfect multi-tool. I guess if there were only one perfect multi-tool, Leatherman would only sell that one, and make less money.
I wouldn't part with the saw on my Charge. It came in handy on a trek in the forest, when I spied upon the perfect wood for a walking stick; a dry-cured black spruce sapling with the perfect curve for a handle. If I hadn't had the Charge saw, I couldn't have cut through such a wood of legendary strength. The Spruce Goose wasn't made out of mahogany, after all...

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

Good question. If I chose my multitool based only on what I expect, I wouldn't be as well-prepared for the unexpected. The need for a saw at that moment was unexpected, but much appreciated. Today, I had a crusty baguette for lunch, and the only thing I could cut it with was the serrated blade on my Charge. I also hope to have it handy if I am ever trapped by my seatbelt in a drowning or burning wreck.
I try to cover off all possibilities by carrying both the Juice and the Charge. The scissors on the Juice are superior, it's handier to access, and the pliers are smaller for delicate work. For bigger tasks, I prefer the locking blades of the Charge.
I suppose if I had to give something up on the Charge, it would be the file, as I have one on the Juice, which is smaller, but with a file, size doesn't matter as much. And I can't think of an urgent need for a file; it's usually for a minor fix of some kind.

That's the one big downside to non-locking tools and ,unfortunately, why the PST won't get lots of use for screwdriver jobs.
I still love it though :D

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

Well got me my 2nd leatherman today, a wave (well first was a sidekick i bought yesterday,but didnt like and swapped it for the wave today :D)
When i went to lock the front door, i noticed teh plate on the handle at the front door was loose.....
In stead of having to go to the basement to get a screwdriver from the large toolbox there, I used the large screwdriver blade on the wave. :multi: :D

Okay, I'm sure I've mentioned before that I think the Micra has the best drivers of any keychain MT, but I just had to tighten two screws on a hinge holding a cabinet door on, and the ONLY phillips I had that would reach the awkward location was the Micra's Phillips half jack-knifed closed.
I have two reasonably complete tool kits, and 27 MTs. ONE driver would fit. Win for the Micra.
I used this Leatherman to finally find out what all the fuss is about. I got in on sale yesterday, the guy was clearing them.
Fit and finish are very good indeed. I get a feeling of primeval design. I can't say I don't like it but I'm not psyched either. It's funny though, you know, a picnic multitool with a spatula and all. As often said by others, I too hate tools clumping and having to deploy them from the inside. Overall I'd say it's OK but certainly not my first choice, especially not for food as you say. Curious is a good word to call it. Also, I think the pliers have limited use but haven't tested that yet. To be continued... :)
Other than the food related utensils, it's basically like a PSTII, which I own. It would be neat as a collector item I suppose, but it's not high on my list. As I said before, it's just a curiousity as it's a rather unique combination of functions.I'll keep that in mind, I was thinking the same. I'm not a collector really but I think it's good enough for a first Leatherman. Thank you for the tip. The PSTII seems basic enough to be good, same thing I like about the Pioneer. Oh and congrats for your second lass! :) :)
Hygiene can be a problem when multitools are involved. Some won't mind, some will. I'm for the latter unless forced to do otherwise. The "classic Leatherman style" as you call it is fully functional though a tad primeval IMO and I simply miss some safety locking on this one.Other than the food related utensils, it's basically like a PSTII, which I own.

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

A bit adapter would be nice but I have all the MTs and SAKs I need. It's just that the PSTs have this primordial allure, a simplicity I can't ignore. They scream "it's the '80s" to me, a time I only got a glimpse of as a kid and yet I carry with me. :facepalm: I'm supposed to refrain from any compulsory buying (I don't do a lot of that really) and there I am indulging myself >:D :ahhh
Sometimes you have to jump at the chance to get certain MTs/SAKs, especially the harder to get ones.
@BigMatt- you filed your tooth down with a LM diamond file?¿? :ahhh
Used the Rebar last night to put a 6mm split ring on a zipper and added a small pull. Today I used the KF4 to pry open a bluetooth device to get the battery out. I just found out the battery can't be replaced so we have to fork out $275 for a new device :rant:

Used the skele to open up the amazon box of LM offerings. The skele was also used to cut free three hinze relish bottles in their thick plastic binding. Then The new Rebar helped in filing the ST300 wire cutters. Today was the first day they came off the ST300. No rust and still a bit of lube holding on in there.

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

Nothing else was both the right kind of shape and small enough to fit in the space that needed digging out. It was not a pleasant experience, but at least my Rebar had a chance to get dirty!Wow. Hard core!

Dirty, dirty, dirty!

If it works, who can complain?¿? :salute: Do you have images of the work you did with it? I'm very interested about what you were making that a Rebar would be the tool for a job like that. We love pics like that here :tu:
Lillebror, that's what awls are for. You need a Surge next time.
Used my Leatherman Surge to fix the clutch cable on my motorcycle. It busted a hour before my License test. nobody in town had a part in stock. Lucky I found a cable clamp and stripped some of the casing off the cable to get some extra slack so I could clamp it to the handle.
Btw, I passed my test! :woohoo:
My pulse saved the day when I realized my can of chili that I brought for lunch was not an easy open can.

This is why people should stop complaining about multitools having can openers!
Then I had to use a combination of the small flathead and pliers to "adjust" the scissor spring as it was sticking every time I tried to use the scissors.

Congrats on your first Wenger. I hope you get the scissors working right
Used my Juice Pro, MUT, Wave, Flair and Swiss Champ to explain the differences and uses foo MTs to someone who had never seen one before.
The Flair & MUT I bet was an odd comparison :rofl:
"You see, you can eat with this one... :rofl:

"You see, you can eat with this one... :rofl:
It was a very odd comparison. She was intrigued by the idea of the MT but the problem was that this person couldn't understand why I needed so many different MTs.
I used my Juice Pro main blade to open cigar boxes both at the shop and at home. I was elated to see the mrs left her Flair on the bathroom vanity after she put up a shelf. That shows me that she used it when she installed a shelf next to my sink :D
So what did you use your Leatherman for today? Did your fix the sink or save the world?
I used my broken Wave to sharpen an old spoke to make a new pokey for my bike toolbox. Never underestimate a good pokey.

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

Big black and yellow spider reminded me of the signature spiders in my back yard. They make huge webs with really cool zig zag patterns. (Internet pictures)
Well if they are what you have then I have seen them make really cool webs so keep your eye out. If your wife doesn't like spiders she shouldn't come to my house. It is 113 years old and the basement and barn are both unfinished with spiders that would freak me out, and I have and hold a rose haired tarantula.Sorry to hear of your biking accident Xelkos.

That first pic looks like what I see out here. Never noticed the web zig zags, but they do make large webs.

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

Yeah I figured, but I know some people like to take them out and handle them a lot, so I was curious.

Used my TTi and my AL to seperate two magnets that I bought at the flea market.
I could not do it without a better grip! :facepalm:
the second time I had to do it, I discovered that I could do it with just the TTi, if I used the cap crimper

While cutting down the hedge I "destroyed" the nest of a spider and her egg. :ahhh So I used the awl of my PST to make some holes into two leaves and fixed them with small sticks to the rest of her home as a rain shelter. :D

After that I fixed the doorhandle of our garage.

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

Today I raised the front sights on 9 M16 so they where flush. That way when fired they could be adjusted so the soldiers could zero there weapons. My LM wave has a can opener on it that's what I used.

Yeah the lanyard its not what I thought it was. I tied a Digicam Bar that looks similar to what you did. What you made looks very neat and uniform. Theres a picture of the digicam bar in the got paracord thread. Its blue and yellow.Is that a digicam tie? looks cool
What's a digicam tie? The lanyard? If so, I've heard it called a crown sinnet or box knot.

That is a good one! :D :tu: I seriously like spiders very much as longs as they stay out of my bed and cloths. When I was a child I used to keep a female cross spider in one corner of my room and caught flies for her every day. Funnily enough, I called her "Rudi" which is actually a male name. :DMy gf is the same but I always rescue them. ;)@ Monrogue and captain spaulding: Why so less love for spiders?

I used the combo blade of my PST II to open the wrapping of our new mattress. Other then that I looked and opened/closed it many times and thought how cool this tool is. :D
They sure are, yes yes! :D I am very surprised that I suddenly love those older tools when I have never looked at most of them when they were the best you can get in the past. Of course missing money also was a reason... :D I just love their simplicity in design, their no-nonsense sleekness and they have got great tool combinations imo, too. Oh well... :multi:I used the combo blade of my PST II to open the wrapping of our new mattress. Other then that I looked and opened/closed it many times and thought how cool this tool is. :D
It is very cool 8) Aren't those older Leathermans just fun to tinker around with?

They almost seem more solid or durable in a way.Good point! Fewer (or less/lesser? ??? ) parts also mean fewer failures. ;)
Used my NI PST,and tool adopter on my mountain bike.
Reset the handle bars after storage,and fitting mudguards and lights :D

Diamond file on the Wave to clean up the wire cutters (Don't let anyone you don't trust implicitly use your tools. Just don't do it) on an old, but very usable newly-aquired Supertool.
We had to clean the humidifier in the walk in humidor at the shop so I pulled out the Pro and Flair to undo the water line to it.

You mean people are actually allowed to use Flairs :ahhh
Used the PST to loosen up the hose clamps so I could change my Pickups air filter. :)

Used Wingman to close loop on wife's necklace. She's now thinking about getting here a multi tool. :D
Day 1 of my new Core, fresh from Turnsouth, who's the man. The bathroom tub was clogged bad and today's the day to get it done. Used my Core screwdriver to begin the job.
I won't show any more pics because what I snaked out was horrible. The drain is perfect now!
Some cap lifter action with my Flair while watching college football today.

Had to use my Rebar's large flathead as a prybar to break into our back door as the front door wasn't opening and couldn't be as easily manipulated to open as the back door. One of the screws had come loose and was stuck in the latch's hole in the casing.I always hate to hear when someone has to break into their own house. I hope you get everything secure before leaving the house again...

I got no mail slot in my door at least. I don't think I'd like the idea of an always opening slot like that, but considering the condition of my door, I guess it wouldn't matter ::)

I never really used my Leatherman Wingman aside from being a paperweight and a beer bottle opener so I'm glad I got the opportunity to use it today.
First, to screw in a soap dish I got from a local department store. Second, to open up my Playstation 3 Slim and dissect its bluray drive.
Been unusable for a year but it turns out my son managed to get a puzzle piece lodged inside the drive which prevented it from reading discs.
Finally, it also helped me take off a drawer lock I had lost the keys to.
I'm been very productive today (considering it's a Sunday) and I'm no technician of any sort either. I'm really glad I took that Playstation apart. Saved me lots of money by doing it myself. Amazing what a Leatherman MT and Google can do (well, okay I also needed a smaller philips and a torx driver) ^-^

I did nothing so far today. :facepalm:
Ugh, that makes three of us! :facepalm: But, I also did as little as possible at work today. Figured I'd catch up on Tuesday.I did nothing so far today. :facepalm:
Me neither... I guess I am needing to change daily routine :-)
Used both Rebar blades to open various boxes at work. Also used the pliers to grab some bubble wrap packing out of one of the boxes (didn't really have to, but figured I may as well for the fun of it ;)).

It's still a mystery but I got blamed for it :rant: I guess I'm the Kirky in my house :think: :rofl: My kids took a video of me yelling and ranting while standing on the coffee table that I didn't hide the Oreos. They put it on YouTube but I made them remove it promptly. SInce I'm not on Facebook, they put it on there and I found out from a friend but I made them take that one down too.
Ah I see. Ha, that is funny, gotta love the kids. Well, I hope the Oreos are found so that you will be let off the hook :rofl:

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

After witnessing the action of the exterminator, in true DIY nature, next time I'm buying the bee-suit and doing it myself! I was surprised to find them locally for less than $120, which is cheaper than any exterminator around.
I had to use my Charge TTi and bit kit and extender today, which is a rare occurrence. I was disassembling a baby swing that we no longer need, but couldn't find the Allen key that came with it. So I thought of my bit kit and checked a couple of the hex bits and found one that fit. I attached the bit extender (didn't really need it, but figured why not?) and the hex bit and proceeded to complete the tasks. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take any pics :dwts:

Just went to throw the trash, and on the way back (it's a half mile walk) I spotted a nice wild lavender plant next to the road, blooming purple flowers. Took out my Skeletool and dug out the soil around the root with the blade, then ripped out the entire plant, and took it home to the wife, who planted it in a pot with a big smile on her face. Perfect start of the weekend :-)

wingman was used to pull apart stubborn legos by my little buddy. cool to see a little guy getting use out of my wingman. he likes the spring loaded pliers and for a little hand its much easier to manipulate these verse the wave.
I used my Wingman to open more boxes, and remove a couple staples from a botched attempt at stapling a report I printed. It was the staplers fault though...Or Kirkys!

I got some play time with the game tonight, and I gotta say, it was a good time so far :tu: I had fun getting used to the gameplay. Driving will take some getting used to as it seems somewhat easy to lose control and spin around a bunch, but that could also just be my inexperience with this type of game. I'm sure it'll be better with time. Overall so far, I would get it if you are interested. I definitely find it to be fun, and I've only just begun.
On topic: I used the Wingman today to open several boxes and used the package opener to slice through the plastic seal over a flat containing tubs of coffee. It worked great for that actually.

Thanks! now im going to suffer double the anxiety till it comes out for pc :facepalm: Hope they port it soon!! :gimme:
In the meantime i just used my mut to hack a package to reveal a box containing a little black swisscard.
today I used the Charge AL as a stress reliever. I just played with it for an hour. I felt much better

I used the Wingman's can opener to open a can of Spaghetti-O's for my daughter. I could have used our regular manual crank opener, but I figured I may as well try the Wingman's out for the fun of it. Didn't do bad, but it was slow (that could be just me though).Regular or hotdog ones? I used to live off of those when I was a kid especially the hotdog ones!(maybe that's why I'm not to big of a fan on hotdogs nowadays)

But as for the leatherman goes I had to use mine to work on my leather sheath the other day, and again yesterday to make a custom leather Xmas tree ornament for one of her friends, she designed, I just did what she said, worked great for pulling the paracord through along with a safety pin with a hooked tip! JR
:rofl: You put those tools to good use, I reckon. Gives one a new way to look at 'em. (And get started with that paper already :D )
My new truck's fuel gauge has been reading full for several days, I finally got worried and crawled underneath and tapped the tank with my Wave. Hollow as hollow get's. It took 15.8 Gal. at the gas station. It's a 16 Gal. tank....I was running on fumes.... :facepalm:

The Kids at the Youth Center my wife and I volunteer at were making cookies for the elderly and we couldn't find the hot pads so my wingman was put into action.
Was at a friends son birthday party today, he is 4 now. Someone gave him a toy violin as a gift which some genius on the factory locked to the box with 4 phillips screws. He was crying, i came with my mut and was the hero of the party :multi:
Not to mention the "oh what a cool something you got there" coments... :rofl:
I just used my Wingman clamshell opener to open a new mag light and it sliced thru like butter. I'm extremely pleased! :tu: :D :cheers: :cheers:
Used my Style PS scissors again yesterday evening, to remove some loos threads from the tablecloth.
That nifty little style is a pleasure and handy thing to have with you when a big lm would not be so socially accepted ,like with the christmas dinner.
(Also here in the netherlands it is not so common to have a big kind of tool like a lm wave or surge with you on a daily base, alltough i mostly do carry my wave in my skinth with me, and really cant count anymore how many times i used a ziptie (or2) to save the day for someone.(zip ties can replace broken jeans buttons, shoe laces, keep a muffler under the car from dangling on the ground, and be used to pull up a light hanging to low to let the band play under it.(so dont carry only your lm, but also a 15cm ziptie or 2!)
Welcome, jrod. :waving: Glad you enjoy your new ST300. :cheers:
Yesterday I had a great midnight demonstration of the Spirit's capabilities when I fixed the lock of our block's central door, removing a piece of a broken key from inside it. The landlady was astonished with the tool, receiving a true cultural shock, and very happy she avoided the locksmith.
I used my OHT to open a SOG Powerlock, bought my first SOG knife and had to see what there multitools were like. I got it for a steal too. $40. :facepalm:same thing happened to me a few months back.
I tried to fix a paper jammed up calculator at work, using my Squirt PS4 and Mechaneer. I did succeed in getting all the paper out of it, but ended up bending a metal part in the path of the paper. So it ended up in the trash when I was done with it :whistle:Did you go all Office Space on it?? :D

Ha, I should have. Thankfully I have several more to attempt to fix, most of which I already suspect will be lost causes. So perhaps I will go Office Space on some of them should they invoke my wrath ;)

Was pulled into a scale house by the state troopers, had to fix a very bad air leak under my tractor. Usually have to call a mobile mechanic $90+ parts labor...

Good story, and welcome to the forum :cheers:
Yes thank you I am extremely proud to be part of this forumWelcome aboard, nice little store, back when I was 17 I ran into something similar and didn't have any tools and yet was over an hour out. And the only thing I had was my gerber(first one they ever came out with) wow did it save my ***! JR

I used the file on my BORebar and extended the handles to reach inside a trap to set the latch/trigger mechanism. We have a cat that has been living under our trailer for the winter it seems. One benefit is that we haven't noticed any mice or squirrels in quite a while, which would be something we'd see every so often.

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

I used my Charge TTi's bit driver and bit extender to swap the scissors from my Wingman with the saw from my Sidekick. Now I have the tool combo of the Sidekick with the scissors instead of saw, which is what I wanted after having both tools for a while now :tu:Interesting, JR

Another good day for the ReCharge yesterday.
Blade: Open some snacks and break down some boxes.
Saw: Clean up some sub-floor edges to make them fit better.
Screwdrivers: Removed door hinges for dissasembly, cleaning and reassembly. Reattached said hinges. Tightening the screws holding on the legs of the coffee table.
Pliers: Helped me feed some nylon webbing through a highchair.
Not too shabby. Definitely glad to have it on me.

I used my MUT to hammer some staples out of wood, and then pull them the rest of the way out. Hammer = AWESOME!
today i bought a micro sd cart.....What tool of the MUT did you use for the clamshell? I would have thought a Wingman more suiting for the task.
:facepalm:
for my smartphone....
:oops:
i wanted to install it in the store...
:dwts:
so i started to pull the blister to get the sd-cart out...

used my teeth....

nop! did not open!...
so i took my multitool and that opened it in 3 seconds!

Joint effort bringing the Bearcat back to life in the modern world with the Kick and Fieldmaster. It has all the crystals but the crystal frequencies are from the late 70's. its gonna take some effort to get 6 more channels of useful scanning out of this old thing. All I get on it is weather and a cab company as of now. Its clean and working properly now so im thrilled.

That's a nice looking Kick. I don't have a BO LM yet.
Earlier I was using my BORebar to aid me with prepping various documents to be fed to our large shredder here at work. I primarily used the pliers for pulling prong fasteners from folders, and gripping/tearing names from folders that were too thick to be put through the shredder. I had to use the serrated blade on a couple folders for the name removal task as they were tougher...but no match for the blade :tu:

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

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

Fixed my shoe. The plastic in the heel cracked and ripped through, so it was cutting into my heel with every step. Thank goodness for having my Sidekick because theres another 4 hours until I can get back home. Times like this pliers are almost the only tool for the job! :multi:

I'm currently at a little over 17 seconds with the main Leatherman can opener (the last timed trial was with a Rebar, but it's the same opener as the Blast/Wave/etc.)
http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,50177.msg859339.html#msg859339
And yeah, most can openers, Leatherman, Vic, Wenger, all open cans surprisingly easily. it's one of those odd tools that are very rarely needed in real life, but when they are...

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

Your such a enabler! :DIt's one of those tools where you just can't tell by the pics, you gotta hold one to know the awesome-factor. I believe this is fairly new so people need to know about it. Just doing a favor to the MTO community :D
That's a good price though.

I just used my Charge's gut hook to cut some roses (and then remove the thorns) from our garden for my daughter's 20th birthday.Nice pic! Don't see pics with flowers and multis together very often.
It worked perfectly.

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

Was checking my back-up eyeglasses yesterday and found the monofiliament line holding one lens had broken. I was able to fix it today with some fishing line from the garage and an instructable (http://www.instructables.com/id/Eyeglass-repair-broken-monofilament-lens-retainer/). The Leatherman PS4 scissors work well for trimming fishing line. :)
My new Rebar got its first use this morning, doing quite possibly the most important job it ever will - tightening the handle on a frying pan so I could make a bacon egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. :DWell that is quite an important task ;) Glad you're liking it so far.

Used the Wingman's useless huge flat driver to pry a jar of honey open... :multi:I suppose that is one use for it :salute:
I had to use the small screwdriver on the Juice Pro to unlock the two tools that lock on the Schrade Tool. I couldn't figure out how to unlock the knife and opened the pry bar accidentally all the way. I guess that's what I get for playing with it.
Using the flatheads to pry open some real real real nasty pistachios...It seems you keep finding uses for the Wingman's flat driver. If only it were good for driving screws, as intended ::)

I realized screwdrivers and screws aren't simply "fit" or "don't fit". It's just that the better the fit, the more torque you can apply.

Well, let's see...scraped old caulk off of the shed roof with the Piranha [1 & 2; she was using P2], cut many cable ties with the "Replaceable Cutting Hook" on my MUT [SS]...used the same MUT to cut through chain link fence [no flippin' problem - great!] - uh, when my newly acquired Gerber MP600 FAILED at the same task. Cut rotting bark off well overdue to-be-used firewood with the MUT...and when my cordless circular saw battery crapped out [at cutting old desk to become bath countertop], the Surge saw 'saw' that to the end [ :facepalm:]
Yeah, that's right; LM does kind of rule. :D

At ANY rate - used the replaceable wire cutters on the MUT. Truly, they went through chain link fence with absolutely no problem. I mean, that's awesome; that's why one purchases such tools, n'est-ce pas? The 'hard' wire cutters, of course.
Gerber did send me a pair of TC cutters as replacements - no charge -- but made it clear I pay from here on out. Do you see my eyebrows raised in unison?? :D Yeah; cuz they are. It won't be the last Gerber product I buy, but ABSOLUTELY the first & last multitool I buy from them. I love the fact that EVERYONE who posted on their website listed the total FAIL of their TC wire cutters. I'd say theyz got a problemo...
I really love my LM's - I'm also totally schizophrenic between the MUT's I've got and the Surge. I take the Juice XE6 on dogwalks [and have used it on said dogwalks], but I love the two aforementioned LM's. I feel naked without them! :ahhh

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

A Moderator wrote it. :P I'm well aware of what Mr. Gretzky had to say about the 1980's Devils teams, and I have to say as someone who remembers those teams, he was right at the time. That being said, one of the best signs at the 1995 Cup celebration was a picture of Mickey Mouse holding the Cup in one hand, with the other hand showing the NJ State Bird. ;) The caption was, "Hey Wayne, Mickey This!" :D
I've used the "useless" flat head driver of the Wingman a lot today - to pry open some cans of paint and such.... The Wingman's my fave multi so far :DI just hope you never have need for the 'wire cutters', as they don't adjoin, at least on mine. If it weren't for the package opener, I wouldn't keep the Wingman.

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

In my experience if you tamp it firm, it stays put. I use rocks to wedge things tight if I can. I don't like adding water because it seems to make things move.When anchoring a post in the ground . . . pour a bag of ready-mix in the bottom . . . The next rain takes care of the rest."
I've heard of that method, and its sounds cool. Certainly reduces labor. But I just like seeing the concrete firm up before my eyes and know for sure that the post (in my case flag pole) was dead plumb before I walked away. With my luck, by the time the concrete set up, my base would be off a couple of degrees and that really gets magnified at the top of a 25' flag pole. I would like to try it sometime, though.

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

I used my Crunch [good grief; what a great tool] minimally, but to some effect. That is, in replacing the bathroom double sink, it held the broken SS brush as I attempted [over and over] to clean the pipe threads. If logistics had allowed, I absolutely would have used the Crunch for everything. Alas, it took some serious mother plumbing tools to get the previous fittings off [read: straddling the cabinetry to get one of the bugger's off] at the pipe. Used the Surge to trim off excess around the pipes where they meet the wall. Oh, and earlier, used the MUT to hammer the drain plug control [whatever...] out.
Beer never tastes as good as when you've used your Leatherman tools as much as humanly possible. Which - OK - today wasn't exactly THAT - nevertheless, my previous statement stands. :P

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

Ouch, whatever answer i will give, it will be a walk through a minefield, right? :think:
Both tools were new/nearly unused, so both needed some breakin on all their joints/pivots. Cleaned them first, then after the some hours i gave them another cleaning to get rid of the black stuff they were oozing out, then re-oiling and so on and so on.
For the pure flik - the leatherman OHT wins with waving banners. It fliks out that smooth .... the 600 moves rougher and so it sounds, also.
Same goes for putting the pliers back in - OHT is way smoother than the MP (wich often needs to be pushed in by hand instead of slipping in by gravity), but the OHT has the habit to stuck on the 2 release pins, then it needs some wiggeling before it slides back in.
Thanks Monrogue!
I used my rebar a few times today to trim wire from one of our Mig welders after I bumped the trigger(too many damn times to count, I'm not a great welder) and used the pliers to pry slag off the tip. I was modifying a splash guard I designed for our horizontal band saw, it had one leak I missed in the design phase.Glad to hear the Rebar's treating you well man.
I have used that rebar's wire cutters to cut some really hard stuff, and they don't look like they've ever been touched. I'm loving this tool for work.

and this makes NO SENSE at all if you have never read or watched Dune :rofl:
Excellent grasp of popular culture my friend!!! :2tu:
I read all the books, including the ones where Brian Herbert (Frank's son) and Kevin J Anderson teamed up and wrote other books in the Dune universe.
then you have the movie, different, but not bad.
I LOVE DUNE
I remember playing the RTS game and "wasting" many many many hours on it.

Used my Juice S2 scissors to cut out a test fit template for a possible 'F' type connector spanner to go in my recently made knifeless Rebar. Looks as if it is a goer. Naturally I used the Rebar awl to punch the hole.
100 up, Yay.
I used the phillips on my KF4 to open the battery compartment on a toy for my son. I swear this child uses more batteries than I do.
I used my Hybrid to clear away overgrown passionflower vine.
Nurse Micra supplied the scalpel and tweezers to get rid of a nasty splinter on my finger. Surgery was a success.
The shoptoad helped a bit. Mainly it just set there and watched.

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

I used my LEAP to open a bag of cat treats. They come with an EZ-tear but those don't always open correctly.
It's great! If you don't mind the ugly handles it's a pretty good tool :DI used my LEAP to open a bag of cat treats. They come with an EZ-tear but those don't always open correctly.

One of the task's required of the Surge today. A pistachio shell cracker :-)
Then I disabled the door bell (removed terminals from transformer) because people insist on riging the door bell multiple times waking up my 6 month old from his nap.
My Juice S2 was on fishing duty, well sort of... :whistle:
My 3 yr old daughter got her new princess fishing pole out. Used to wire cutters to clip the zip ties that packaged it, and used the scissors to free the line and clean up the knot I tied on the rubber practice weight (to practice casting). Well, she's 3, so "casting" involved pushing the button and watching the little rubber fish fall to the ground. But she is now very good at reeling it back in, as we repeated this process for about 30 minutes :D We'll keep practicing.

Got to start them young :D. Mine aren't there yet, but I've got more gear than I can shake a (very big) stick at, so they'll have plenty to play with when they are ready :tu:.
Used my Surge to help remove and install a new radiator and brake lines on a GMC Jimmy and help do some welding on a Ford Escape.Every time I see that Surge I want to do that myself!

Like that bottom pic. Nice looking Wave BTW. I love when the BO gets that worn in look.Yeaaa me to that is why 90% of my LM's are BO. By the way this wave opens and closes at least 10 times/day at work..

I used my Rebar to cut tons of tape and zip ties on my sons birthday toys, and also to remove the 147,000 little phillips screws that hold every single toy to it's damn package. I had to do some minor repair on the foot of his new RC t rex. One of the rollers in the foot got jammed, so I used my phillips to open it up and reset the pin so it won't get stuck again.
Wow. Full disclosure here. I had some friends start carrying a leatherman in the late 80's and I thought it was a giant piece of trash. hard to work,good for nothing.
Then less than a week ago i got my wave. In the last two days I used the scissors to trim my nails,the pliers and can opener to work on a couple flashlights, The wire cutters to work on electric fence and the knife to cut a bunch of stuff. I did all of this without carrying the whole pocketful of tools i would usually need for these jobs.
I am so happy with my wave I bought a surge off of ebay. :D
If you like the Wave the Surge is prettFixed that typo for ya...yier and much moreasawesome -er.
Pleasantly surprised again today. I thought "when will I ever use a file". Tonight I needed to jump start my tractor. My jumper cables were rusted and I couldn't get a connection. In the past i would have tried to scratch them up with my knife. Tonight I filed them shiny and they worked great.
Used my wave today for exactly the reason I bought it. Had it on me when I spotted broken fence. Fixed the fence then came home and used the bit driver to build a pc.
Did something with the Surge that a Yeoman can't. ;D
Use the Surge to help with some car maintenance.
Cut away a dumbwaiter hoist cable which had been fouled and caused a free-fall crash...My Surge cut it like it was warm butter.....
Used tweezers on my Micra to pull out a splinter out of my boy's palm. :tu:
Today I obtained a new member to my EDC family, the Leatherman Micra. It has already started to earn its keep by cutting the ties to my sons nerf gun and then opening the battery compartment using the Philips driver.Nice. :tu: Which Nerf (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,54047.0.html) gun was it?

It takes four AA and is semi auto holding six darts in a magazine. We picked it up today after I took him to the pediatrician as a get well present. It was also hush money so he wouldn't bring up my new Micra :D

More to follow on the Adventures of Little Boy thread when I get on a not Army computer.
I used my BORebar to retrieve a twine cutting knife (ring with a blade) from the middle hole of a spool of twine. I extended the handles and used the opener tool to hook it and pull it out.

Used my Skeletool tonight (dry run a few hours before the challenge starts :) ) to help repair some Christmas lights on our tree. Pulled a couple broken bulbs with the pliers and cut/stripped some wire to replace a socket.
Used the can opener on my Wave to open a can of SpaghettiOs for my boy today. My "regular" can opener that I've had for at least ten years now is done, it no longer opens cans.
Got some good and some bad news.
Someone snapped one of the grease nipples off the hay rake.
Out comes my trusty blunt nose Surge.
Hammer awl into the broken threaded bit and twist it out.
Replace with new nipple and then grease the wheel.
Hay gets raked.
Sadly the awl took one for the team and does not look so pretty anymore.

I do carry Leatherman Squirt PS4 Multipurpose Hand Tool for my everyday outdoors. Its best beacuse it can be used for mulitple applications for many scenario situations.
I used my Crunch as a handle for a strong needle with which I removed the rivets of my watche's strap.
Very nice tool that Crunch, I use it much more than I thought I would. A locking plier acts as a regular plier also when needed, It could be used as a minimalist tool in place of a Skeletool in my opinion, if only it had the bit holder.
It doesn't have a bit driver, just one Philips and three straight drivers. But I have a hex holder adapted for the Philips so no problem. I'll compare the Crunch and the Skeletool as companions to a Swisschamp for a light EDC during the next months.

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

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

I have been using the pliers on my rebar quite a bit lately. Usually bending something, today i used them as a makeshift handle to turn a large switch.I see you're still getting along with that Rebar. I keep switching MT's so I'm currently back to the Wave clipped in my left pocket. I've made the most use out of the replaceable bit tool.

Sorry for the crap on the back ground, but you can get an idea how it worked, must have Looked pretty retarded with the hand of the throttle and holding the throttle cable near the carb with a leatherman. :multi:

My BN ST300 got a good workout today! Used it to help close the latches on six rotor blade crates. Had to use a ton of force on some of them, but it took it like a champ! 8)
I got a really cool patch at the Hard Rock Cafe while in Nashville this weekend for my little brother's wedding, and today when I got home, I used the pliers on my Squirt PS4 to push and pull the needle through it while I sewed it onto my backpack.
Yesterday I used my Surge to dismantle and try to fix a desk chair which I just got to replace my old one, but this one is worse. :facepalm:

I used to use my Rebar for that task. I need to replace the cutters on it now because it can't even cut s zip tie. The juice was struggling but it did the job and did it well enough I have a new respect and love for it.
You were in a jam and your MT had to fill a roll, which it did. :tu:
I used the saw on my Super Tool to cut some dead trees that I was clearing from a streambed. That saw is every bit the equal of my SAK Huntsman! I like it a bit more than the one on my Rebar, if only because you have more of a grip from its bigger size to work with.A lot of people seem to prefer the larger ST300 to the Rebar. Years ago, when the ST300 first came out, it was my EDC and favorite MT. The main problem I had though was the weight of it. When the Rebar finally came out I was thrilled.
I'm with you Saw. I've got one of the original Super Tools with the leather pouch. I don't mind it on my belt, but it's a bit much for a pocket carry. On a different note, I just used the Super Tool to fix a child's glow worm toy. Almost seems like overkill!The original Supertool v1 was awesome :D

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

just finished replacing all the old rusty screws with new shiny ones as a matter of tightening all the door handles around the house with my new Wave + bit driver extender :cheers:
Right on! That's a sharp looking Wave Miknitro. I had an older man come up to me at the Leatherman display at the local Lowe's and show off his Wave. He said that's the one he'd buy all over again! Interesting how m/t's are great conversation starters. My father in law brings out his collection every chance he gets :-)Thank you sir
fixed a toolshed table (attached an additional shelf) and tweaked hinges on the chest of drawers :multi:True craftsmanship right here. Fix stuff and drink beer. Well done sir!

I used the scissors on my Surge to trim my thumb nail, I hit it with a hammer in February and it died, the new nails been growing through and I caught it and ripped the old nail off. I trimmed it up so that I won't catch it again because it was bloody painful!
I also cut a lot of rope into shorter pieces for a T-bar at work.
not sure if i want to see pics. i lost a few finger nails myself.

Used my ST300 to help my sister in law move. Couldn't fit a futon through the door, so I used the flat driver to pop out pins and take the door off. Still didn't fit, so out came the bit kit and adapter to undo the hex screws holding the futon together, and we took it out in pieces.

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

Many sump pumps these days have a car battery as back up for when the power goes out.

Used my Sidekick to cut up some mackerel for fishing earlier today, it involuntarily became a beater this week :rant:. I had these things in my bag that you're supposed to toss into the fire to change color. And some of it got out of the package and onto my Sidekick which had previously been in like new shape. Well whatever was in the things was pretty damn corrosive and certainly left its mark :facepalm:
Oh well, now the Sidekick is going to be my salt water fishing tool I guess. Kept it in my pocket while we fished out of the kayaks, and I of course ended up in the water multiple times. Nice to have something I can use in less than ideal conditions, not the ideal way for that to happen though.

Wow, so I was driving to the airport. I was about 30 feet from my parking spot and heard a clank and then the Jeep wouldn't move. Turns out the yoke to the rear axle broke and the end of the drive shaft was on the ground.
My plane was boarding in 30 minutes and I didn't have really any good options. So after staring in disbelief for a while, I decided I could put it in 4-wheel drive to get it into a parking spot and fix it when I got back.
The part where the LM comes in...I had to get the drive shaft off the ground. Took a metal hanger from my suitcase and used my ST300 to bend it and twist around the drive shaft and off the ground. I limped the Jeep into the parking spot and got on my plane.

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

Way to go Alexanderre! I'm a Corona fan myself, and I've heard Odessa is gorgeous. I used the scissors on the PST II to cut open a packet of instant coffee about 10 minutes ago.
I was frustrated when I needed 3 hands for a soldering job on my bicycle lithium battery pack that takes me about 50 miles on one charge,
So I stopped and thought, darned it, I need a wise,
so I took a rubber band put it on the handles and voila ! the wise ,

What does the robot chop with the axes?

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

My PST II got a good workout around the house today. So far, I used the narrow straight edge screw driver to unplug a bottle of Gorilla Glue, and used the pliers to pull a nail out of my wife's nativity display. I also used the scissors to cut a packet of instant coffee open. Woohoo domestic life!! :D
Nice work!
Used the KST to crimp a clip on a young lady's bra at work...while she was still in it!

Did change car battery with ST300.
Actually I had use for needlenose. There were some odd specific key to open battery (net image but same in my car. Small blunt of course ok as well if fit to square which was quite large):Did change car battery with ST300.
I also change vehicle battery tho I used my Wave. These are the times I so want to make a blunt nose MT.
Drove 7 hours home from Pittsburgh PA, unloaded a smurf load of luggage into my building's lobby, parked the truck and was walking home with my dog, thinking about beer, a shower, beer and sleep, when my wife calls and tells me the door knob came off the front door and she hopes I have pliers with me. We have one deadbolt lock, which we only use when we're away for awhile, that requires the door to be pulled tight against the jamb in order to lock and unlock it. I used my crunch to get a firm grip on the post, which had luckily not fallen out on the inside, and pulled the door hard and unlocked it. I probably could have done the same with non-locking pliers but the crunch just makes it easier :tu:

Almost, and I really mean almost used my ST300 straight blade draw and quarter a customer who provided me a test access card that was no longer active.
I wasted 2 hours Tuesday and almost that amount of time today verifying the repair work completed splicing cables.
After being allowed to review the access control computer did I find that the card was being read, but access denied because it was expired. Oh so close...
Yes, at least 4 hours additional associated to wiring splice work. The quote was not prepared to account for the issue that all cables for the location passed through the gate cabinet scheduled for replacement. Some satisfaction.Almost, and I really mean almost used my ST300 straight blade draw and quarter a customer who provided me a test access card that was no longer active.

Can you find a way to make them pay for all the wasted time (at double the usual rates) ? It was their fault, after all.

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

Mine got put to good use helping my mum out today, and without cutting myself to.
I used it to cut the side sheeting for her little greenhouse, awl to punch all the holes for the screws, and used the file to sharpen her loppers, hoe and weeding knife. Very productive afternoon.
Making clothes pegs with the supertool, crude but functional
Cheers buddy, I didn't have have enough pegs to hang out my clothes after half a dozen plastic ones snapped on me , so instead of going to the shop I made some,which to be honest worked fine and looked way coolerI agree!! I would prefer yours to store bought! Anytime you can make something yourself, it's always more fun!
I agree I'm going to make some more tomorrow:tu:
To gut some mackrels.Impressive!
While busy working today a scumbag tried to break into our work van, sadly we were about a hundred meters away so he had a good head start when he saw me running towards him.Nice Weasel ;)
Sadly I didn't find him but I did find his expensive looking hoody, which I cut in half with my super tools Se blade then put it back where he had left it .oh and I watered it for him too! Haha so that might make him think twice in the future.
Cheers buddy , he got off lightly I think but at least he didn't get chance to steal anythingThat's good at least :tu:

Here's the completed modified machete sheath. Note the stitching fore and aft. The sheath opened on the side to accommodate a Kukri shaped blade and was about 4 inches too long. I fixed it to better fit the 12 inch Tramontina.
You need to get a LM bit adapter to go over the square Phillips that way you can use a bit kit with it :pok: :DI know. I have been watching them on eBay for weeks. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet!

I wonder if Loki has any in stock :think:

I have never had any problems with mine and I have used it for years now :salute: A bit holder would be good for a lot of people though but I like the dedicated Phillips best :tu: Loki usually has stuff like that in stock I would shoot him a OM if you really want one :think: :cheers:

The adapter is one I bought for the Juice XE6 but I'm guessing they are the same ones for the rebar.
I've got the saw/file adapter off a surge coming from Loki to see if I can mod it to fit and lock in a rebar. If I can get it in I can bin the saw and make more room for other mods.
Spot on. This mine site I work for now is 90% Autonomous. In other words All their haul-trucks has got NO drivers. (290t or 320 short ton.)Zoom in and look at the cracks. Need some body filler.Yes. It is.Cutting an orange for lunch.
Is that a huge brake disc you're using as a table there?
It's looking a bit rough, it could do with a skim.

I noticed them, but thought there's life in it yet :D
If there is anything like here, they run them till they fail. Which I find surprising considering they are hauling a couple of hundred tons of slag or pig iron around at a time. Needless to say they get right of way everywhere

A few tools were out to play today.You're a busy man!!
Surge pliers to shorten the chain on a geocaching travel bug dog tag.
Micra scissors to cut bubble wrap and packing tape.
Rebar saw to trim a dead branch off a tree that was hanging down over the entrance path to the place I walked my Yorkie.
Our seedless eating grapes are now ripe so I used my poor abused Juice to cut some for eating:

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

Used the knifeless rebar (with a pioneer for the knife part) to fit a new plug onto our office henry the hoover.
The one fitted was damaged somehow :whistle:
so I replaced it with a new one so I could vacuum my office floor now the cleaners don't do it (and seeing as made the mess)
As a side note, 800 hermesetas sweetners certainly spread out well when knocked over :facepalm:

Used a Sidekick to unscrew about 10 little screws from my vacuum cleaner so that I could remove the hose and clear out a giant hairball that was clogging it. Put it back together too and didn't even have any screws left over. :2tu:

Used my Phillips screwdriver on the Wave to remove a SATA hard drive in a computer

Bad drive I think, I have to adapt it SATA to USB via an adapter to test. They said it was making a noise, so probably non recoverable. Just going to replace the PC, about 5 + years old.
Nice to have my wave with me today, I was asked to look at the computer and asked if they had a screwdriver, NO, so I said wait a minute I think I have a multi tool in my jacket pocket from the weekend. 4 screws and the case side and drive was out, I was a hero!

I disassembled a Wave to help with disassembling a first production run Charge Ti, and another FPR Wave. Both of the FPR tools have problems: Charge with broken plier stopping tab, Wave with broken scissor tab. I did not want to send both in. Thinking that LM likely give me an AL to replace the Ti, I moved the broken scissors from the Wave to the Charge. I used the female screw from the first Wave to help with aligning the screw thru the handle and pliers. It worked like a charm. I may consider selling parts of the first Wave, and keep the screws as tools.
On another note, LM had tighter tolerance and better fit and finish on these FPR tools. It took me a good while to disassemble them. Also, paying a little more for quality bits paid off. I got the 5-star bits made by Wera from Micro-Tools. The fit was perfect. I did not heat up the locktite, just muscled it thru. The bits held up well, without rounding off, while the screws came off undamaged. Pretty good German quality stuffs.
Turned my Wave into an impromptu door wedge while working in an elevator shaft today.

ok, not "today" but very recent....
I moved not long ago and most belongings have not been shipped. Cant bring myself to buy things. Like kitchen knives.
Doing some debris removal from Hurricane Irma (finally removed the downed tree from my yard) and I used my Sidekick to remove a couple of dozen sticker burrs from my socks and shoe laces. It was a lot better than pricking my fingers on the damn things which are very sharp, and the spring assisted pliers made easy work of it.
...I used the awl on my Rebar to push the tab down on some zip ties so they could be removed and re-used.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170925/785b9860f147dd629381c8a06b688551.jpg)

Yes, it’s a led light kit, you can get them online or at a store, but that’s just the led's, I got mine at amazon, it has a little control box to control the brightness. As for that arch, it’s a cheap $2 curtain rod kit, that are like _|— -|_ but are adjustable, I calculated how long it would have to be in order to make the arch for what size table then took a couple small plastic pieces and riveted the two of them together then bent it, luckily there a piece playground equipment just the size I was looking for, so I bent it around that, put the lighting on, they have a sticky tape backside, they put it on my workstation, plugged it in and turned it on.Needed a fine file to work on my new little project,Like the lighting setup - LEDs?

The unique thing is how it works, I work on models, and need good light, and with a normal light kinda like the one you can see in the background, yeah it’s a mag light, but when you start moving your hands around they start to make shadows, so you end up having to move things around including your head to try to see, being an arch, it transmits light form every angle, no shadows even if you put your hand directly above the piece of work! When I made the light I put the project on here somewhere, look up like led arch light? If any other questions as away,

Used Wave again today to cut a 2mm stranded wire and attach into a metal stick in the ground in order to get my electric outlet grounded again and get rid of hiss and noise while especially playing an electric guitar with single coils. Cut the wire really carefully at first, but I quickly realized that Wave will accomplish that mission with pride . Then used bit driver to tighten a screw. Will add pics a bit later so you’d have a better idea.
P.S.: now my American Standard Tele sounds bloody amazing again being played through my Mesa/Boogie F30 amp

Was there originally a tone control for each pickup?Nope, just a regular Tele setup - one tone and one volume + a 3-way switch
Ahh gotcha. I misread it. :facepalm:My Firebird has that too, however I never really use tone controls there too

long time not posting, i was quite busy, we move in a new house, and a lot of work was needed.Well done, bud
All my leatherman have been used during this summer, mostly my st 300 as it was the first tool i grab with me. mainly the blade (what a beast) and the flat screwdrivers see action.
The surge and the wave were mainly used during electrical work.
And i really beginning to love the wingman: the package opener is a beauty to remove silicon joint in bathroom, is save a lot of time!
Having a lot of multitool is usefull, i just let them on the floor and there was always a multi near me wherever i was in the house.
Even my style ps was used for beer openning (i was to lazy to grab the bottle opener as it is an inside tool on the other leatherman) and nail cleaning.
The only drawback is i don't find back my cs4...

Used my ST 300 VX to maintain an oak leaf in the precarious balance I found it in. Phew!

Our cleaner is off this week and she has locked the plastic key thing to the hand wash soap dispensers in the toilet are away somewhere. It turns out the file on a ST300 is the perfect size to open it. It doesn't have the slight bend in it that the key has, so there is a slight abrasion mark in the slot now, but it works.Water removes 99.99% of germs anyway.
We must have quite a few walkers instead of washers in my building. As I was changing it someone came in and said 'oh good, thats been empty since yesterday afternoon' :facepalm:

Following a minor washbasin drain plug lift (operation, reduction in ability of) alert in the bathroom, the picture below shows the Supertool 300 VX just after performing powerful, determined and decisive action on a stubborn drain plug lift control rod connector screw :D.
Not in the picture, the subsequent powerful twisting action on the washbasin drain clamping sleeve using the plier heads inside some available and handy orifice on said sleeve, following the discovery that said sleeve had in fact been loose enough to impair the sealing function of the drain gasket, resulting in minor flooding.
The Supertool was carried on the subsequent afternoon stroll by way of commendation and gratitude for services rendered..

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

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

Is that Russian or Ukranian?
The body of text is in Russian but for the title you have Prodam, why not Prodau? Just curious as I never really learned Ukranian.
I guess now that I read your message it makes sense :) I speak russian and was born in Kharkov, sometimes my Russian grammer is not perfect. I was wondering why you said Prodam instead of Prodau? For example, in Englsih people normally say "For Sale" and not "Will Sell" on a sign.Oh, cool, I see good to see another Ukrainian here well it’s often stated that way in Russian, don’t really know why 🤷🏻♂️
Oh and by the way nice Wave, its one of my favorite Multitools.

Come on, guys, make some noise, can’t believe you are using your LMs that rarely
Anyway, I rented a bike yesterday. Tried to ride it as it was for some time but it was well maladjusted. The seat was loose and going lower that I needed after each jump or whatever, the rear light gone loose since it turned out there was no nut on it. Even the kickstand was mounted with a wrong and unstable angle. Wave to the rescue

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

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

Silly Ford mondeo requires you to take two screws off and a push stud to get to the headlights bulbs. Pray that they don't blow when travelling far from the main roads.
Found the cutting blades on my trimmers dulling so I used the TTi to undo the screws to lap the cutters.

Ripped some pesky large staples out a box I needed to open...Well done, mate! Where did you get that Wave+ pliers head? ;)
I needed the multimeter yet one cable broke and i had to resolder it, so here came the P2 for the rescue. Quite happy with the easy axx to the tools, at least for this low force, skilled craftsmanship that i'm doing :)Kinda late for a reply but it looks like you are stripping the cable with the awl. Did you know that the P2 has a wire stripper build into the tool?

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

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

Was working on the car to find a rattling noise. After getting that taken care of, used the Crunch to cut the cold of a severely beat up oil pan heater. Closed the hood and noticed it was not closed properly. Used the hood release inside the car, and it was fully disengaged, yet I could not open the hood nor close it it down.
Used the Crunch and its file to reset the hood latch. Went to close the tools up and the file fell off. :ahhh Crystallized metal. /sigh
So, off to the fatherland for it (Leatherman HQ) to get repaired, and maybe they can look at those blasted pliers that won't stay shot. /grr

One of the common uses I have for my Leatherman ST200 is cutting off the steel banding around raw materials--in this case, a chunk of 8" diameter steel bar.

Na lots of the uses in this thread are pretty standard,
Would be cool to read something unusual, like whit the Wine Corg Opener Solution whit the Screws , this was cool
Maybe whe have to many Tools on our Leatherman, so whe ditnt have to think about Alternative Uses of some of the Tools to improving some task whe don’t have the right tool for..
I like this idea. There are a few "stories" threads that are started and fall off pretty quickly, but I always enjoy reading those. Maybe the main General Tool Discussion needs a tread entitled:
"My Multitool Saved my Skin" or something to that effect. Being in the general section, it would be for any tool, and would be for clever, alternative uses, or uses worth re-telling.
I think the Leatherman and Victorinox sites used to have a story page, with stories such as - "I helped the train conductor in Austria repair a steam engine that was broken down in the mountains"
It would be nice to keep the daily use threads that we have but add one to chronicle special uses.

Weekend - a great time to fix something around the houseSo I fixed it. Seems like steam has been engaging those touch sensors randomly.
We recently have issues with the smoke exhaust or whatever you call that thing in the kitchen that sucks out all the smoke in English correctly
It for some reason started to either turn it or off randomly.
Decided to disassemble it and sadly found out that the logic board is not isolated from steam and moisture in any way... poor design decision really
Anyway still thinking about any possible diy solutions to the problem and having fun with tools.
Started with a Signal cause it’s always beside me
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/fca833cb9336b3a8e3adba3a440be373.jpg)

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/dc65a157adf925df694e9674dd1b8de9.jpg)
Being done with those screws switched to Signal pliers this time and Wave won again - needlenose pliers suit much better for the limited space I had to deal with and the grip is much narrower with Wave:

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200405/0a9b727ac1e4ba548d3753edd769f859.jpg)
Those pliers on the Signal are surely stronger, yet in the wild I would probably only lift some pots off the fire from time to time
Overall Signal is a great outdoor tool for me, but for household queries Wave seems to just be better.

Just a bit of a tip - antibiotics made to be swallowed don't necessarily work when crushed and applied to the skin. Also, infections within the body aren't usually from the same bacteria as the ones on the skin - so the antibiotics are different.Thanks for an advice, bud, appreciate it. It’s not really an antibiotic at all though, just kinda bactericide pills, I don’t know if you guys have it - it’s called Streptocide

But I have to warn everyone that once your cutting wires with a non insulated cutter you have got to be 200% sure the lamp (or any other item) is off/disconnected from the power supply. Otherwise you will short circuit and this can be dangerous. Just a little warning. Be safe everyone.

I really would love the pliers and strap cutter on my Surge as the blades, on the OHT, are just too short and difficult to deploy.
Could LM not make a Surge XL (with those features) for those of us manly enough to use it :whistle: and use the Gerber "style" push button deployment for the pliers? :think: I'm sure "their" lawyers could call "their" lawyers and do lunch :popcorn:
Anyway, the OHT got a warm bath and a good dose of WD40 followed by some PTFE lube for its troubles.. :multi:

I bought one new from Tractor Supply with birthday money many years ago. I've carried it maybe ten? times. It's a pretty good tool, given what it offers in tool selection, weight and carry options. I am, however, upgrading it with the hammer/bit driver/pry tool that screws onto the carabiner our own Metropolicty designed. That way, it gives me most of the functionality that I want in the MUT/Signal, and more of a reason to carry it.I need one (or two) I don't even have two Skeletools :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
Today I used the hammer head on my Skeletool to hammer in some loose nails on the back of a cabinet. It proved to be the perfect tool for job.
Stopped by my parents house to discover that they were going to try and extract a broken bulb from the fixture with a potato... 2 minutes later the Rebar had it out with no weird potato residue involved:Good to know that you "chipped" in :facepalm:

Well here%u2019s a weird one - Killing a tic
My wife found one wandering around our bathroom
We caught it in a tissue and I squeezed it as hard as I could in the tissue
I opened up the tissue and there he was wandering around as happy as Larry Tried again more targeted on the squeeze But no effect
So out came the Juice from my pocket ....... he did not survive that squeeze :(
Normally I won%u2019t kill any animals even our poisonous spiders They are caught and returned to the wild!
But tics are nasty It could kill our cat and I%u2019ve had itchy sore legs for ages after an encounter
Well, the Wave got KP duties today: opened the diced tomatoes paste; cut the onion; opened the pasta bag; opened the wine for the sauce; peeled and cut the "chistorra" sausages.

Used the Rebar to tighten the bolts on a LED panel I use to light the path around the house. Since those were loose it didn't want to stay in the correct angle so it didn't illuminate the whole path.

We got it. It made about a 2 hour ride to my place and on the next day 4 hour drive to my hometown where my parents live. So far so good. As for the mileage - the engine still has most of it's power so it runs pretty good. And given it's twice the power of his previous one he seems to enjoy a flooring of the gas pedal here and there so I doubt it will get perfect mileage in the first few months :D .Excellent use and happy motoring :tu:
As mentioned the AC control unit had a knob broken. I bought the whole unit from a website that specializes in used original parts for about 25 usd. Initially I thought just to swap the whole thing but it turned out I need to take the CD off to get to 2 screws so I just swapped few parts on it as it was on the dashboard. Used the small flathead on the Rebar for gently prying some plastics out and the philips to do the actual job. It worked like a charm. Then used the serrated edge to take an Osram lightbulb out of the plastic casing as we had a headlight go out. The car (with that engine and all the extras) has no space behind the headlight fixture so changing a bulb is a challenge. A quick online search showed that Fiat does it by taking off the bumper and charges about 100 $. But owners that are handy enough and not willing to pay that take the plastic arch cover that is over the wheel off and do the job from there. It worked but it's not fun at all, it takes time and for sure isn't something I'd like to do in the night on the side of the road. So from now, when picking a new car, user friendly headlights will be added to the checklist.

After peeling about 40 tags, thought, it was getting uncomfortable from the squeezing force required, so I went and got my Wave+ from my car to finish the job.
Would a SOG MT with compound leverage from the gears for the pliers be even better ?Maybe, if it gives a mechanical advantage in squeezing force.

Finally got a replacement car today, and part of the excitement was that it was going to be my first flick out key! But when I picked it up the spare key was offered as the main and I soon discovered why, the flick out mechanism didn't work, when I opened it up with the Bond I found no spring in there at all!
No problem... Took the spring out of a pen, then used the Bond to cut it down to size and bend out the pieces that would hold it in place to be wound. 15 minutes of faffing and once accident of winding it the wrong way (so it flipped closed...) and it works!
Quick and easy when tools are to hand :salute:
To me threads like this are my favorite because it show people using their Leatherman to get stuff done!Well, this wasn't today...but on Friday, I had to cobble up a couple of short jumper wires. They were so short that it would have a real smurf to hold them while stripping the ends. The Signal's pliers saved the day!
I used the Rebar's file to smooth a jagged toenail. Really.I use the scissors on my Squirt to trim nails, and I’ve used the files on my tools for all sorts of things.
Lots of MT use lately so I thought of this tread.Multiple MTs used in a day, nice . Enjoyed reading your time with the Surge, Crunch and Rebar, all great MTs.
The other day I went on a hunt near the city. The prey was some wild green edibles - dock and nettle. When I was a kid and lived in rural environment I used to go foraging frequently. I just enjoyed the process so much :dd: So I got a trip back to memory lane. Used the serrated on the Surge. Not that those can't be picked with fingers but using the blade as a reaping hook made it faster and easier on the root system of the plants (if you leave them in great shape you can harvest again soon).
Grab a handful of leaves with the left, reap with the right. Repeat.

Yesterday I used the Crunch to change a head light bulb on the van, in a big box store parking lot. I have to do it there because I always forget what kind of bulbs it uses. This time I was almost sure they were h7 and when I took it out it was h4 so doing it right before you go in to buy one is the right call. The bulb is held in place by a weird springy bracket that is usually pretty easy to work with - grab both sides, squeeze them together and pull out. But one side has broken off, leaving the undoing of the other pretty hard job for such a tight spot. Managed to do it with the right tool by my side. I might change the bracket but it seems that involves taking the headlight out so I might just stick to always having a Leatherman on me to deal with the broken one. Seems like the better option :D No pics as it was so tight the camera could not focus.
Also yesterday at home got a good workout for the Rebar. I had to tear apart our bedroom, which was completely renovated about 18 months ago (and I mean completely - floor, windows, electrical, new furniture..) We've been having a lot of condensation on the outer walls, which led to forming mold... So everything to pieces and bring the chemicals :poh: Rebar helped taking out few outlets that were in the way and disassembly of a wardrobe. Mainly the Philips driver was used. Also no pictures, in my frustration I did not think about that.
And at the evening used the Wave to open few pear cider bottles.

Thanks Poncho ! The dock is kind of like wild spinach. Where I grew up (farther north and lower attitude) there was a different kind of dock that looked a bit different and tasted a bit different.
The nettle, according to Wikipedia, do grow in North America but probably not everywhere, my guess would be the states in roughly the same distance from the Equator as Bulgaria. If you've ever encountered that plant you'd never forget it - it doesn't leave permanent damage but it stings like hell and the stung can be felt for few days after that.
Thank you :)
When I was a lad dock leaves is what we used on nettle stings, so seeing them paired together was amusing! :cheers:That's new for me :o
That's new for me :o
I guess you crush it and rub it on the stung ?

The lady of the house asked me if I had a supply of replacement tweezers for her Victorinox Classic SD. (Of course I do.) I gave her a new pair and attempted to turn the old ones into "bushcraft tweezers." The Juice Pro's file helped in that endeavor. Now I just need to come up with something better to hold the tweezers while filing them...

Used the Skeletool to open and repair an old laptop. The wi-fi card was'n working on it and had to replace it. I've tried reinstaling the drivers, a fresh windows installation and drivers and it wasn't working. So I put another one in from my collection of broken laptops, it showed up in device manager but refused to work too. It just said failed to start and that was it. Different windows versions, different drivers, nothing worked. Plugged the old one back in and - Oh, a miracle - it started working :o :rofl:Oh I totally dig such things - well done
Used the occasion to clean the ventilator and radiator and to put a new thermal paste on the processor and video card. Skeletool was used for everything besides 3 tiny screws on the ventilator housing.

I will have to get in on the next Rebar Challenge. :multi:Definitely. As great as last month's Rebar challenge was, I'll be back for another! :tu:
What a great repair, McStichy. That turned out very well. You should get your Boy Scout Home Repairs Merit Badge for that one.

Great job on that repair! :tu: Hope you've been having a great weekend, too.
Lady Free P4 and I decided to see what the inside of my asthma inhaler looks like.Interesting. The pry tool/package opener is my favorite thing about the Free series :tu:

Here's an early welcome to TA8 :hatsoff:
We just bought a log cabin home in a wooded area in New England. I have been using the Rebar and Surge a lot, among other "real" tools more suitable as needed.
Most recently tore up living room and hallway carpet. We will be laying ceramic or planking. Had to get all those big staples out, and those little copper/bronze narrow, long staples. Rebar and Lady Beagle used her Wave
The best use!
Used my Crunch to open the box of a new Leatherman.
I think they’re going to be friends.

Changed tires for my car yesterday. I had a 2 ton jack to lift the car. There is a small knob that you are supposed to twist with the end of the lever arm to descent the car. With the lever arm it's at least challenging to control the descent and I've had previosly one close call with the car dropping too fast. As I remembered the incident I also remembered the pliers on my Curl on my belt and used them instead. I got great and slow control this way and changed the tires safely!

Quick update on my ARC - I tried it out on a strand of coated chain link fencing wire this morning, as I do with all my new tools.Disappointing, at least you can fit some decent cutters to it. A chap on reddit hardness tested these cutters at mid fifties rc iirc. The previous cpm ones were low 60s.
It cut it easily enough, but didn’t seem to enjoy the experience…

I looked all over the Award Badge area for a weed wacker badge and couldn't find one. So, I had to make my own. Best wishes. G
