Day 30:
A great challenge, awl! Thanks for participating
The Explorer is my preferred EDC SAK and I wanted to do this challenge to see if I could get a better sense of how and how much I use it. I tried to keep track of usage totals, which I only did for days I used a tool and not how much each day I used a tool. Here is what I tallied...
Tools used:
Large blade x14
Can opener x7
Scissors x12
Small blade x9
Cap lifter x11
Toothpick x6
Tweezers x4
Philips x11
Mag lens x5
Awl x4
Hook x3
I will say there were days where I used certain implements more than once. I may mark 1x use for the scissors, main blade, and Phillips for a day, but there were many days I used each of these more than once. As I see it, a SAK like the Yeoman would be my ideal except I did use the can opener more than anticipated and I did need the awl. So that leaves the Explorer as having the ideal around the house carry.
I would not use the Explorer by itself for our upcoming new house projects. I foresee the need for a file, saw, and pliers, which is why I'm going from this challenge to the Spirit challenge. The Explorer may make some appearances as a helping hand.
Alas, did not use the corkscrew a single time this month.
