I used my Spirit to tighten the screws holding the globe that goes over the lightbulb on our kitchen ceiling fan. It worked great except for the drivers slipping so much. :D :D :D
No wait, that's right. It performed perfectly w/o any slipping on what were pretty crappy screws.

Well I suppose there must be a screw they fit correctly out there somewhere. :pok: :D

Perhaps I should do the pooping myself :think:
I used my Leathersak MK1 to put up dry wall at a friend’s house. I then left it with him because he liked its feel and sharp blade. He preferred it over the more dedicated tools for the job.
Today I used my SOG PPP and my Kick to change out some parts on the floor machine. The snap ring system that holds the pads to the floor was messed up and the new ones had to be installed. The SOG PPP worked well except for when the screw was stubborn and then because the tool is non-locking it folded on me (like 4 times). I went and grabbed my Kick and even though it's a non-locking tool as well it seemed to grab the screws good and resist folding.
I am trying to re-evaluate my EDC, it's usually a knife or something lite like a Skeletool or something but I keep bumping into things that I need to grab a bigger tool (like the kick). I have a pretty good size lunch box (with pockets and stuff on the outside) and my kick resides on the outside of the lunch box in one of those pockets. Because of the temperature swing between hot and cold (ice pack) my Kick needs constant attention because it keeps developing rust. If I did not keep after it I am sure it would run crazy and it would be heck to get my tool back to looking decent.
I am toying with the idea of leaving the kick out of the box and carrying it on my person or carry something larger like a Wave/Charge. Sometimes I wish I did not get rid of my Spirit, it had the weight pretty much of Kick but with locks and a heck of alot more features. Maybe I should carry the Fuse? It's like the kick but with the addition of locks, as long as it's on me I should not have to bother with the rust issue like I am and I would not need two tools all the time. what you folks think?? It's kind of crazy, I wear slacks/dress shirt/tie and I wear a multitool. ::)
I have a Pulse, I should try it today and see how it works. Do you think thicker drivers have anything to do with the strength of the tool? The Kick/Fuse has a huge phillips and the pulse/pst is half the size (well sort of).
I'm currently moving out of my house, so the Spirit has seen lots of use in the past few days. Taking apart furniture, dismantling my weights bench, cutting tons of things, filing sharp edges, snipping wire and finally opening my beer this evening.
Lifesaver :)

Good luck with the move, rp :tu:
Used the wave to repair some burned 8 AWG wire. Was able to cut the wire with no problems, but trying to strip it with the wave was problematic due to the waves offset cutting blades and thickness of the wire. Instead of climbing off the roof, I used the straight edge blade to strip the insulation, which worked quite well.
crossgripDon't be too hard on the poor tool... ::) ;)

Referencing my last post... Operation Black Flag was carried out at c.1500 hours local time...
The Surge was then used to remove the primary target to another location, where the Burn Notice Protocol was carried out.
All Operations were carried out successfully, and with no friendly casualties.
(Those were the biggest freaking wasps I've ever ran across... :o Yeesh...)

Used the Vic Spirit to strip down a Mac 700 Spot (http://www.martin.com/product/product.asp?product=mac700profile) to day as the power modual didn't seem to be working.

The cynic in me agrees, however I'll give benefit of the doubt and believe its to stop people ending up with a pile of unused cables over the years :)
its so retailers can get better margins on printers. They only make like 2 dollars off a printer sale, but for a 20 dollar cable they get probably 10-15 of that, more if it was a store brand. I had to push this stuff when I was a technology manager for office depot. If you just the sold the printer with no accessories the store manager would get pretty upset, same for all technology really. Oh, and Office Depot won't let you carry a pocket knife or MT (to keep it on topic).

:ahhh.... that looks like pure sugar....
today i used the kick to remove the screws that hold the kick plate of a dishwasher so i could us them on another down the street. i got all of the grit out from yesterday and it worked fine. it wound up in my left rear pocket for the rest of the day. i tossed it in the toolbox on my truck when i got home.
funny but when i did that i noticed that all of my tools have rust on them. no kidding.... every single one.
WOW!! :D
Was it just the one?
looks like it costs more than a kick and i don't think i'm gonna EDC an abrams M1 tank anytime soon. i never thought about it but i guess they rust too.:ahhh.... that looks like pure sugar....http://www.evapo-rust.com/

whew... busy day.Thats what I like to see,a tool getting a real workout!!!
used the spirit to cut off several RG6 wires to roll them up nicely for the new homeowner. this was the only task the vic came up short. it took rotating the wire and making another cut.
used the pliers to poke out the dried mud in a water meter lid and then picked it up with the pliers to place it on the meter. (note to self, get another landscaper)
used the wire cutters to shorten up the low voltage wires for the garage door operator of that home.
used the pliers to pull a nail out of my rear tire so i could plug it (note to self: need to buy more rubber cement)
used the flat head or the can opener to screw on an outlet cover for a microwave.
used the phillips to tighten up a base door stop.
used the PE blade to cut out some glue left on the carpet (still can't figure out how that got there)
used the phillips again to remove the base mount of a towel ring in the master bath of the 1st home. got ticked off b/c i could'nt remount it b/c of the POS mounting screws the installer used.
finally, used the pliers again to repair a sprinkler head that popped off of its base on this home.
i washed out the grit from the water meter lid in the kitchen sink when i got home. steeled the PE blade... good as new. :sak:
used my spirits serrated knife, to cut washing line and garden hoses, i think i know why its duded the butter knife as it cut through the hose like a hot knife through ........ :Dlol

The lot? I'm not sure I get it, I'm sorry, but it's got to be because of my english. It is still in the 'it sucks' phase. :D

I think he means "with everything you might want". :)
That be it , thanks Gareth :tu: :D.
A friend at work has a Burgman & I was really surprised at how much Suzuki manged to fit into the bike/scooter, like a Honda Goldwing that has been shrunk :D :D

Used a Leatherman Juice CS4 to build and wire a bank of fluorescent grow lights. :multi:
i managed to get locked in a room at work today. The handle was off to get re-keyed, but the latch still engaged when I was in the room.
Used the charge to pull on the latching mechanism through the opening in the door. Thanks to the ALX, I'm still alive and maintaining!
Seriously, I could have, like, died or something in there... :multi:
Hi everyone,
I'm brand new here. Been using LM tools since the 80's and just got a new Skeletool CX, which led to my finding this forum. Good stuff. Anyway, today I had an appointment with an examiner for a life insurance application. you know, answer questions, draw blood, take blood pressure, and an EKG. When it came time to hook up the stick-on electrodes, the examiner panicked because I have lots of chest hair, and she had no razor. So, I pulled out the new Skeletool and started shaving some patches where ever she needed them. She panicked again, but it worked! First time I ever used a multi-tool this way.
Well, just got back from fireworks and bonfire on the beach. Amazing night with good friends, good conversation, beautiful women and me setting things on fire >:D
I have found the Knifeless Fuse handy on an almost daily basis at work. I have used it to unjam printers and photocopiers. Delve into naughty computers (fixed 3 loud case fans, 1 loud CPU fan, removed a few pieces of kit here and there, etc...), Used the file to sharpen a dull needle probe for a pumpkin carving contest we had for home room, removed a splinter from a student in one of the shop classes I was visiting. The scissors are super handy in a school setting and is probably my most used tool. In fact, I have fallen in love with the little Leatherman, and I do not miss the knife blade at all.

Lent the knifeless Fuse to an EA for a side craft project for a period. I had to ask her trice to get it back. She found the small scissors better and more precise then the large standard pair she was using. Likewise, she loved the pliers for hot gluing without burning her fingers. She was making small Christmas snowmen out of socks, popcorn, etc for a fund raiser.
Note to self, be careful who I lend the little Fuse to or I may not get it back. :o :ahhh
To repair a sensor array in Afghanistan.
I used the pry tool from my Spirit X to open up a box containing a LCD TV for my youngest daughter that we bought for her today for her room. I used the Phillips screwdriver in the Spirit to tighten the four screws for the base stand it sat in.
I know I have been missing for a while, but I am still here in spirit! Been working the SURGE hard these days, repaired and winterized my boat motor, fixed several fences at my buddies farm, installed some cabinetry, replaced a door... and then the normal odd jobs and cutting tasks. :tu:
Thinking about posting a full length review of my time with the Surge, what I like/dislike, you know. Not sure about it though... :think:

What are "these?" o.O Can you eat it?
Yes, you can eat it. It's hanging rice or "puso" in our dialect.
You won’t really see this in other countries. It’s a pretty ingenious way of making rice portable. The young coconut leaves are woven in such a way that it creates a little heart shaped bag for the rice. The English term “hanging rice” pretty much comes from the fact that after it’s cooked the individual bags of rice are tied and hung up for storage.
Puso is associated with the beach and street food. We always used to bring puso and bbq when we go to the beach. The coconut leaves give a wonderful fragrance to the rice which makes it a perfect pair with the pork bbq.
Here how it is made.

I actually didn't hurt for the first few minutes. Now it is just really sore, but it is healing, thought I might need stictches, but I think I'll be ok without them.

Today was a vacation day home on the farm. With real winter coming tomorrow (lows in the teen's F (-5 to -10C) ), there were several barn projects that needed attention.Good job! Sounds like a fun day in my books :cheers:
One of the automatic waterers was kicking the breaker. I needed to remove the cage and unbolt the heating unit.
(http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z231/bluebadger88/misc/Raker/Raker008.jpg)
Used the Charge for pliers duty, and the Atwood Funnybone for all the nuts EXCEPT one which required the Guppie. Forty minutes later, I had replaced the broken insulators and ready for the cold!
Next up, one of the waterproof light switches had to be replaced because a horse had chewed it up. Raker Ring tool removed the old cover nicely and made short work of the new one. Fifteen minutes start to finish.
Finally, 2 of the outdoor GFCI outlets had stopped working and needed replacing. Another job for the Charge. Upon opening, each had a few tablespoons of water (15-20 mls) and massive corrosion. Old GFCI outlets removed, boxes dried and cleaned up and new GFCI's installed. One of the coverplates had to be replaced as well. Ninety minutes later, and the big tank heaters are ready to go...
Winter? Bring it!
Tool list:
LM Charge ALX: 2 GFCIs replaced and assist on automatic waterer
Raker Ring Tool: Waterproof light switch cover
Funnybone: Automatic waterer nuts
CRKT Guppie: One oddly placed nut in automatic waterer

Well, if you can call a snowshovel a"multitool", then I was using my snowshovel to dig my car out of knee deep snow!! :oops:Sure it's a multitool...You can scoop, scrape, cut roots, pound things, pry things, and dig things...could be used as weapon, that's like 7 functions right there...so +1 on the shovel.

I suck at using scissors on paper...especially wrapping paper. So got out the yard stick and used the blade...worked much better.Use small blade on Explorer plus to cut wrapping paper.

I used a Powerlock (left out after the "which is toughest" thread) to open Kelly's extremely well wrapped parcel that arrived this morning......I'm' sorry. I had seen too many threads where people who had gotten stuff in the mail that had been torn open and contents lost so I just taped the heck out of the packages that I've sent. Sorry about that. :)
It took me about 2 hours :D

If I hadn't carried my MT today, I would have needed to call a tow truck($75~125), go to the closest Western Auto/Auto Zone and pay ($50+) for the repair.
Torrential rains have hit my island 24 hrs for the last 3 days! Tow trucks are scarce since so many cars are failing from the floods and the mechanic shops are backed up from the same thing.
Soooo.....
My upper radiator hose broke right near the "C" clamp and the car overheated.
Leatherman Wave
Serrated Knife - Cutting 1" off the heavy gauge cord reinforced radiator hose.
Needlenose Pliers - Removing the spring clamp
Large Flat Screwdriver/Pry tool - Scraping the gunked off piece of broken hose off of the radiator.
Needlenose Pliers - Re-fastening the clamp.
Main Pliers - Opening the air valve(bolt) of the coolant system to allow topping-up a completely drained system with strained(with a spare sock) water. We were calf deep in flood water so water was easy to come by.

Today, I used a Vic Spirit awl to make a hole in plasterboard, then hammer in a raw plug :P and insert a screw,
On that screw, I hung my 20th Anniversary Leatherman Wave in it's lovely display case.
Then, I held the Spirit up to the case so it could see the way the Leatherman gets the nice foam bed, while it was covered in plaster dust and had a headache, before tossing it back in the drawer.
It sucks to be a Vic in this house I tell ya :D
Hehe. In truth - I was going to use a PST but the Spirit was closer and didn't involve stretching!

I used my spirit's serrated blade to cut some zip ties (no sawing needed, it's that sharp), the scissors to cut label tape, the small flathead to pry open a coworkers briefcase, and the saw to see the inside of a golfball for some reason. The large flat head/cap lifter will open my beer after work.

Thanks for the welcome guys! I feel just as welcome here as I do at EDCF. I have emerged blinking from my house as EDCF went down for maintenance this week, and I realized there were other "homes" on the net. I look forward to many many posts here.
BTW, the inside of the ball I cut open was solid pink composite. it is a two piece callaway ball, meaning the core is one piece and the white cover is the second. My spirit saw ate right through it. If you plan on doing this, please secure the ball in a vice prior to commencing the shredding. My bandaid proves that Vic saws are sharp and golf balls are wobbly!
Maybe I should go back to "UnSub". :tu:Nah, that would be way too confusing once again.. ;) :cheers:

Finally I get to write something that I think is noteworthy.
I use my MT pretty much everyday for little stuff nothing major but today was different.
Today I went to Goodwill and found a printer stand in good condition for $9.00 so when I put it in my cart
(which is too small) it stuck out so it was hard to move around aisle and people.
So I got the bright idea of taking it apart with my ST 300. Turned a couple screws here and there and now I have four
pieces that fit nicely in my cart.
People looked at me a little strange but that's okay I got my stand and got out of the store without breaking anything or injuring anyone.
My friend was giving me a tour of his property, and while we were walking we happened upon a spot that required us to duck very low under some mesquite branches. I pulled out my spirit and used the fantastic saw on it for the first time and cut back 5 or 6 branches, all between 1 and 3 inches thick. The spirit performed great. I also used the pliers later to lift a barbeque griddle into place and used the flathead/bottle opener to open our beers. I love this tool. :multi:
cutting the end off a mastik tube
whats a good stone for sharpening my charges knife its beginning to get in need of some attention
I used a Suspension to open a clamshell containing a new Octane. :)
And now you have a clamshell opener.
More of the same project, Spirit got a lot of use. After pulling the car's spoiler off I used the chisel/scraper to remove the old crap that was failing to seal around the spoiler. Used the awl to drill a small hole in the bottom of the spoiler to drain the half gallon of water out of it. Apparently Canadiens fail at making spoilers lol :pok:
You said "tool action"! :rofl:
I used the knifeless Fuse to pull, yank and pry open a student’s damaged locker that was kicked in by another student the day before.That's a fun job isn't it ::)

Andrea, I used to rear goldfish for fun too... until I find that they die too soon for me to bear with the grief. :cry:
My brothers goldfish died not too long ago. I'd have to check but it had to be at least twenty two years old. It did have a huge tank though which I'm guessing helped.
If there's a small tank- every 3-4 secs they're disappointed
If there's a BIG tank - every 3-4 seconds they're overwhelmingly excited!! :ahhh

LEGO!
I was playing with some bricks I got from the LEGO stare today, and discovered that the Blast is the perfect LEGO dis-assembly tool. The pliers break apart bricks when they're stuck down to a plate. The smaller flat head screwdriver is great for breaking chunks of bricks apart in your hand. The only thing I didn't use the Blast for, because I only had my c301 out at the time, was slicing open the tape on the Pick-A-Brick cups, and had I had the Blast out, it's knife would have done as well.
So, I used my Blast and c301 today to play with LEGO. :D

Used my Scientist to change the curtains in my office. I know that sounds wired but they're on a fixed pole so there's four bolts to undo. The angles are weird as well so I was glad to be able to use the phillips at the ninety degree stop, for once probably easier than a normal screwdriver.
Also opened a most awsesome package from Canada. Normally such mundane tasks wouldn't get a mention here but it was filled with wondrous SAKs! I'm going to double check it was actually meant to be coming to me before I dare mention the contents :ahhh
An email has been sent. I'm honestly still in a bit of shock over it.

Strawberry is definitely a fave, but I've been experimenting a little. So far, banana and mango don't go well together. Kiwi doesn't really mix well with yogurt. Blueberry is my absolute fave. And blueberry and raspberry are pretty good too. Unfortunately, apples don't work at all. I'm thinkinng of trying cherry with lime.

I assume by your grin that it was in fact a joke, and I also assume that by the posts that followed you can see it was in poor taste. Please don't post things like that here. Apart from being a little daft, it also can give our hobby a bad reputation.

As always.. the serrated edge on the Skeletool. :D Heh. I do lots of handiwork with it, because it's always on my desk- when I go out, I just clip it to my pocket. And I'm lazy to reach down for my Swisstool. :D :angel:
There are a few pics up in the scenery gallery... Not much climbing happened, it was a bit of a start of the season slow style trip. :PSaturday/Sunday I cleared out a bunch of stinging nettle and thistles around the base of a super fun 5.9 climb we were playing on. With the Skeletool CX of course. Slice and dice!
I like the pliers for pulling stuff away from the base. Plus, the wire cutters cut those pesky vines almost quicker than using the blade.
Oh, and uh...
Pics? :pok:
Used my Super Tool 300 to help my little brother build a fort out in our field. Saw cut through bamboo, Awl drilled through it (realized how amazing that awl is), and wire cutters to cut through some wire we found and then used to tie together some bamboo. Love this tool!That sounds like a great time!!!! How fun! :D :tu:

It's all fun and games until you're the only one with a bottle opener on a camping trip and everyone wants a beer. Oh, and none of them remembered to even bring a pocket knife either. But I'm not bitter... :D
it is no big deal, there's almost always someone there to bail them out. ::) Either that or they go hunger for a couple of days, seems they don't care that much. >:DProbably similar to the ones I get when taking pictures of beer bottles being opened :D

True story:
A friend came home and found an empty and completely flat small cat food can on the kitchen floor--as if it had been pounded flat with a hammer. He picked it up and tossed it without much thought. A couple days later, same thing happened. He asked his kids what this was all about but they pled ignorance.
Finally, one day he came home from work early and found a half flattened/half empty tin on the floor and the dog on his dog bed, smelling of catfood.
The dog had figured out how to open the lower cupboard and simply removed a tin of catfood. No opposable thumbs? No problem. He just chewed it flat, squeezing all that catfood goodness out as he went.
Shane, next time you might suggest that method to the ill prepared students.... :D

Used my diesel's pliers to hold/rotate end pieces of surge while I adjusted torx security screw to straighten those little end pieces out, got pinched a few times since there wasnt much meat for pliers to grab onto.
Used my diesel's pliers to hold/rotate end pieces of surge while I adjusted torx security screw to straighten those little end pieces out, got pinched a few times since there wasnt much meat for pliers to grab onto.
To follow up on this repair which was unsuccesful - I took off the torx screw from the surge and removed end cap. I than used the file from the wave to file down the poorly finished part which is preventing the end caps from sitting straight. A little QC flub on Leathermans part, looks a little better now, is straighter but I need to repeat procedure on other side of tool since that one is crooked too. Heres a pic cause I think my giberish is not explaining it properly:...
Notice the small horizontal rough edge on the ruler side of surge & the right angle where the steel bends up, this is from the factory and making things cockeyed

how bad is cutting cardboard? I do it possibly every day at work :ahhh
I cut up two cardboard cartons using an Octane this morning at 0630am so they would fit in the recycler bin for pickup. I know, bad for the blade cutting cardboard, but she cut through like a razor.
At work we have a central vac system. it was all clogged. LEATHERMAN CORE TO THE RESCUE! I used- Philips to unscrew 6 recessed screws(thank the lord for the long driver), big flathead for light prying, pliers to remove 10 year old dirt, hair tennis ball residue and anything else I didn't wanna touch, philips for reaching and scooping out corner build-up, file for its length to help me jam a rag through a tube. All this cleaning was accomplished with just one MT and a rag.
mission accomplished :salute:
Today I used my Powerlock to replace the wooden slates on my garden bench, it held the rusy old bolt while I cut them away with my Jr Hacksaw quite nicely. Yay for compund leverage :DSmall world, I have that exact bench! Neighbors gave it to us after it rotted out so we made new wood pieces for it. Nice lawn decoration :tu:
Here's a picture of the finished seat, new slats made from some oak skirting boards cut down and shaped to size

Haven't done anything yet, but I did just use my Maratac AAA to see if I had any shampoo left in a Head & Shoulders shampoo bottle; having finally drained it, I just switched to a new bottle and tossed the old one in the recycling bin. Very exciting, I know. ::)Talk about "Living on the edge"... :o :o

I was at our national team meeting on Tuesday with an evening meal and much drink :drink:
For the evening meal I just took my Micra down with me not expecting much use. At everybody's place they had two unopened bottles of beer and opened wine bottles at the table :tu:
Needless to say I was a great hit as I was opening all the bottles at our table and tables close by :ahhh :drink: :ahhh
Do you think I should send my lifesaving story in to Leatherman? :D

I used my wave to open a package.....
....containing a SUPERTOOL 300!! :ahhh
Needless to say I am very impressed. The new plier head is simply a marvel of engineering and a BIG step up from the core/surge model. I am loving the removable wire cutters; On my new pre-owned wave there is a dent in the hardwire notch, this could easily be remedies if they were removable. I bought this thing pre-owned but the seller should just have listed it as LNIB cuz there is absolutely no wear, nor signs of use. Still very stiff and feels really solid. Also the tool load out is MUCH more diverse than the core! ::)
Now for the on-the-fence parts. I am not too crazy about the clumping system. The blades are very hard to get out, I am sure this loosens with time so I won't fret. When closed the top seems to fan out and create sharp edges. When I tap it, the blade(I think) vibrates against the body and makes a small rattling noise- anyone else have this? I use a rescue tool sheath for my core and the new cut outs don't fare well when I put it in, as there is NO wiggle room with the core to begin with(I like it that way :) ). Cut outs- they make it very easy to reach the blades but the clumping system negates that ease... I also am not sure about my hands digging the blade with heavy squeezing...?
Last thing- People say the core wasn't built for heavy use but the ST300 is... If they mean plier head, definitely. Otherwise I hear "the handle steel is thicker." I did a side by side comparison with the Core and if there is a difference, its the size of a human hair, very thin human hair. And whatever thickness it seems to add, the cutouts probably take away. I personally prefer the Core handles myself.
Soryy for the long-winded comments, its not usually my style but Core vs Supertool 300 is a topic I have read much disagreement about
Last thing- People say the core wasn't built for heavy use but the ST300 is...
Tried using the serrated Spirit blade to open some mail. Opened the top of my finger instead.

Hehe - they never mention the "Brummie Screwdriver" do they?
Closed the file on the spirit and somehow carved open my index finger along the back of the file.
i was closing with one hand and so I ran my index finger along the spine of the file (not the saw edge) I guess the side of the file got me. :oops:

Our guest room doors have a long striker plate on both the door and jamb, and the bottom screw had come out of door plate causing it to stick out. Instead of looking at the door, one of our housekeeping LEADS just slammed the door about 5 times then declared that it was broken and wouldn't shut. I had to bend it back with my Blast's pliers and it still looks like a mangled mess. But, that's what I carry my MT for!

I used a Skeletool to arrest and crush some Deer Ticks that I found on my tender body! A co-worker said that you can only destroy ticks by burning, but I reported that a trip through the pliers is more effective. I challenged her to watch the flattened tick to see if still was able to move after pliers, but she declined. The tick had no say in the matter.
I heard that you can cover then with vasaline and they suffocate and fall off, anyone tried that?
These guys were crawling on me and NOT embedded yet. They just happened to crawl into the jaws of death!
If they're embedded, well, that's another story altogether. One must be very careful getting them out and then let the carnage begin. :o

This is dumb, but this is what I did. Used the awl on the Farmer to put holes through my little foam paint applicators so i could put them all on a cord and hang them in the closet. Yeah, I need a life.
I really need to get a blast. And at least you did something really useful. I was just bored. LOl!This is dumb, but this is what I did.

It's better than not using it at all!
I hopped on one of our Gators at work to head to a call on the other side of the Resort, and as I put my key in the ignition, it pushed the whole assembly into the dash, as the plastic nut that holds the ignition to the dash had backed off. I whipped out my Blast and disassembled, then reassembled the dash as my coworkers stood by watching in wonder as I, a Security Guard, repaired the vehicle faster than our maintenance tech could retrieve his tool bag.

Me, I pinched my son's PT-510 to get a fridge magnet out of the end of the vacuum cleaner and for that I got to fix the hedge trimmer.. and then have to use it ::)
Used the Wave's pliers to remove the fishing lure from this bad boy who was none to happy, sucker weighed at least 20+ pounds and was almost too much for my bum shoulder. thought he was gonna swallow my wave or my fingers, was not easy getting the hook out:

I am constantly rescuing smaller versions of that one from certain death here in Texas. They get stuck on the road and can't climb back over the curbs. Ours flip out when you try to grab them and they run.

As this is my first day with mhy new Wave, I did not have anything to use it for other than having it on my belt. After not having anything to use it for, to break it in I used the pliers to rip off the metal tab from a diet soad can. LOlL Now is that pathetic or what?

So far I have used a Super Tool to remove a watch battery from a thermometer and tighten a bathroom doorknob.
Yesterday we had a bit of flash flooding from the rain, so I used the charge to set up weeping tile strategically around the place I work. Used the cutting hook to cut the rope tying it down, serrated blade to cut lengths of rope, plain edge to cutout holes in the tubing and pliers to shove the rope through the holes. Even found a loose screw. :D
Don't you love that cutting hook? Which Charge to you have, btw?

This was a first for me - I used the pliers on my Spirit to open my wife's suitcase. Seems that the 'pull' piece on the zipper has vanished making it very difficult by hand to pull the zipper.
Used the saw of my Spirit to cut four plastic lids to size for Panduit wiring duct , cut a piece of trim , pulled out a finish nail that was sticking out the side of a project . I went to help a Buddy , figuring all I would be doing was mule work , so I left my tool tote at home .

You go to give your mate a hand at the weekend,
you say "what tools shall I bring"
he says “nothing I have everything we need, its all sorted!”

It seems to be the smallest skateboard multitool - 80mm long.
You don't even feel it in the pocket.
Interesting tool you have, and welcome to the forum; can you tell us anything about who made it? Or am I oblivious and it's made by someone I've heard of? XD

he says “nothing I have everything we need, its all sorted!”
What I hate the worst , is when someone invites you over for a barbecue , then says BTW , bring your tools .
Chris
Yea Right! ::)
:D
And when you meet a new GF's parents
Parents; Hello 'Sparky' nice to meet you, what do you do?
Me; I'm an Electrician
Parents; Ooooh that's handy!
Me; Bugger ::)
:rofl: add the word manager on afterwards XD
I started out in hospitality as a Maintenance Engineer, and our entire engineering department currently asks me regular questions about the building's systems and how they work. I haven't been in that department for nearly 3 years! Of course, it doesn't help that they all know I carry a MT everywhere. I get screwed when anything breaks, if I'm close I just go fix it because they won't come if I call them. They just ask me over the radio if I can take care of it. Pretty nice actually, getting plenty of chances to use my MT.Used the saw of my Spirit to cut four plastic lids to size for Panduit wiring duct , cut a piece of trim , pulled out a finish nail that was sticking out the side of a project . I went to help a Buddy , figuring all I would be doing was mule work , so I left my tool tote at home .

Don't you just hate that?

The farmer awl bit me as I was coming back home on my bike, possibly jealous.
Yesterday, I used several of the tools in my ToPeak Gear Box, together with my Charge to fit a pump we bought along the way and to adjust the front derailleur on my bike when I suddenly couldn't 17th-24th.I know i still like mine :)
Very useful little tool kit that Gear Box :tu:
replaced the screw attaching the seat on my bike. The screw was stuck, and I had no hammer, my modern cromagnon man tools couldn't budge it, so I fell back on caveman methods and used a rock (imperial scale) to smash it out. Worked perfectly.
...if I can give this multirock a red alox scale I'll sell it on ebay for a fortune.
I used the pliers on the UberKick © (beta) to remove a thorn from a football at a tournament earlier, before using the blade to remove the skin fro some rather nice Chorizo when I got home :)
I'm sure there was other stuff, but they were the important ones :D
There is a thread somewhere, but I can save you the hassle by saying it's a Kick with a Charge bit-driver. It's a Beta because I'll be adding scissors when they arrive :D
Used the cocktail fork on my flair as an earth probe while testing kettles lol pics later

I'm being dense here (no really, I know sod all about Land Rovers) but why did you cut the old fuel line 4" from the pump?With the OEM setup, there's like 2 meters of fuel line, which winds back to the bulkhead and then back to the front of the motor to enter the carb. LOTS of fuel line to heat up and vapor lock. By cutting close to the fuel pump, I could make a direct path to the filter and carb, shortening the distance to less than a meter and running it on the cooler side of the motor (opposite the exhaust manifold).

Well, I am in charge of 7 to 10 Valets and Bellmen at a time(along with 3 to 5 chauffeurs), and sometimes they are all tied up so I get to hop in and move stuff around and the money adds up. Mostly 5's and 1's, and on the weekend it completely surpasses what any money clip can hold. (and I make the least in tips because I'm the boss!)

the thread on the regulator is correct. its the threads on your gas tank that are wrong; well not wrong but just really old. the new OPD valves from new propane tanks will fit that regulator.
just get a new tank.
Not today, but last weekend I used my VIC soldier to repair a broken zipper (used the large screwdriver) and used the blade to eat my steak at a local public party (I hate those plastic knives they give you for that...!)
So true! I always clean my soldier after I use it (and even if not, it's my food that I eat with it...). You have to be careful if and where you use it. It was a good feeling a few days ago when I attended a photography workshop and almost everyone seemed to have a SAK or an Opinel in their pocket :tu:Not today, but last weekend I used my VIC soldier to repair a broken zipper (used the large screwdriver) and used the blade to eat my steak at a local public party (I hate those plastic knives they give you for that...!)
Funny how people give strange looks when you do that! I use my soldier for everything, and it's always clean because I clean it regularly, but folks are just wary of knives in general anymore.
I use the hardwire notch on the wire cutters for stripping. Quicker and easier.
I used the flat head in my Super Tinker to pry a laptop plug out of a live wall socket.
Surprisingly, I lived to make this post.
My wife used my BO Kick yesterday. :rant: Not sure what for but something to do with the old washing machine as she went out and bought new one. I am now £600 lighter....... it even plays a tune when you turn it on and off. :rofl:600£ for a new BO Kick... :ahhh :ahhh I'll sell you mine for half of that.. ;)

I used my kick for removing a very poisonous spider from my house and placing him neatly in the toilet where he could swim. Forever. Then I used my alox soldier to open a beer.With a kick at your disposal, you could have some fun by plucking each of the eight legs off before squishing the life out of the poisonous bugger with the pliers.

probably only makes sense outside of the U.S., in Germany (where I work as a waiter whilst studying), they complain about how the thai curry they ordered was very spicy, I'm reduced to saying 'yes, I know, its a curry [idiots]' :-\Sorry Jmora, not to be disrespectful but its not the customers fault, there are many thai curry brands that are exported all over the world, ranging from very mild to very hot. :(
No problem, I'm really making fun of my customers who can't handle a bit of chilli, the more spicy food you can handle, the more you will appreciate the food made around the equator generally. Anyway, not to hijack this thread, I used my vintage ribbed alox cadet to cut up an apple, which had a growth around its core reminding me of a human rectal sphincter, I just couldn't eat that thing the way it was.probably only makes sense outside of the U.S., in Germany (where I work as a waiter whilst studying), they complain about how the thai curry they ordered was very spicy, I'm reduced to saying 'yes, I know, its a curry [idiots]' :-\Sorry Jmora, not to be disrespectful but its not the customers fault, there are many thai curry brands that are exported all over the world, ranging from very mild to very hot. :(

Don't worry, all legal. It was the car of a geocacher and he turned it into a geocache. To log it you had to scratch the name into the finish (throuhg the finish). I hadn't thought that it was so hard to do, took me quite a while and it didn't look nice at all :pok:

Used my Wave to put in a new light/vent fan combo in our bathroom. The 90 degree lock I put on the bit driver came in handy for getting the wiring rig bolted back in, and the pliers are just handy for tweaky little electrical work anyways. The wire stripper still blows goats, though. Made me wish I had an ES4 or a Bear Electrician or something ;)
I can't help but call one of these things a "fart fan" though. I once saw a switch in a breaker box labeled that way, and it has stuck in my head ever since :)

Once again, we were cruising down the interstate when some more of that damn plastic under moulding of the car started flapping like crazy and making a horrible noise... We pulled over at a rest stop, where I used my Skeletool CX to cut the 1-foot piece of plastic off so it wouldn't get tangled up in the wheel. It cut like butter and the edge is still razor sharp. :D
Nice one edcgear! Everyone else... get a camera :pok:
Used my PS4 and c33l + the PS4's microbits to open up my ITP A3 EOS. It's been unstable from the start, flickring and cutting out, before finally going dark for good. Thought I'd open it and see if it was just a quick fix, and it was a wire that needed to be soldered back in place

Today I needed a plotter pen for a desktop CNC mill so I could trace out some lines on a piece of hardboard. Thought I was stuck, with nothing suitable to hand until that Doh! moment when my Vic Signature Lite came to the rescue...pulled the pen out of it, and found it short enough to get in the space, and a good fit in the chuck thingy. Just as important, the pen didn't collapse under the abuse and was still a good fit when I took it out of the mill and put it back in the Vic where it belonged :dwts:

Well, my charge got a thorough work out today.
I was covering an off road motorbike race as part of my voluntary St John's Ambulance work.
Got one badly broken femur that needed extraction and an ambulance. Had to cut the guys riding gear off and get his boots off. No troubles at all. Then the extraction scoop (like a stretcher) broke so out came the Charge again to fix it up. A few screws and a bit of hammering later and it was (almost) like new. :D
A bit late another rider came off down a hill, injured his neck and KOed himself. He needed an ambulance as well. Not so much Multi related use with him but more musclepower needed to extract him up the hill!
Was a great day. Feel vindicated carry a multi, got covered in mud, saw some really interesting injuries. Also got my first chance to ride a quadbike off road which is great fun. The Charge performed brilliantly :D
my charge is going to get some use carving a pumpkin later :DDid some carving as well with my Skeletool and Style CS (I did the witch, the others are by my wife, son and daughter)

A bit late another rider came off down a hill, injured his neck and KOed himself. He needed an ambulance as well. Not so much Multi related use with him but more musclepower needed to extract him up the hill!
Was a great day. Feel vindicated carry a multi, got covered in mud, saw some really interesting injuries. Also got my first chance to ride a quadbike off road which is great fun. The Charge performed brilliantly :D
That's quite a day! Only thing you needed add was an in the field appendectomy. ;)
I...uh...used my Wave's saw to saw a deer's brain in half.
Not my first choice, mind...
I had went hunting and managed to bring in a six-point buck. In order to preserve the antlers for a later mount, I had to saw them off of the skull, keeping a section of the skull intact to keep them connected together. Usually do it with a little Swiss four-sided saw, but my FIL seems to have misplaced it. After attempting to do it with a relatively *huge* bow saw, I gave up and got the Wave out. It worked admirably actually, but cleaning...stuff...out of the Wave's joints was a bit squicky.
Huh. I just figured the River was naturally fed. Didn't realize you actually fill it from the faucet. :-\
:D
Pics or it didn't happen :rofl:
Not a multitool but I just exterminated the last remaining pumpkins with my Mora 2000 and my Kukri >:D :tu:
You really should try it :D
Picture this but with a Kukri in one hand and a Mora in the other muahahaha :viking:

Awesome shot!
When I was in Boy Scouts, our troop leader worked for the railroad. Growing up in Oregon meant camping in the rain--a lot!
One fall camping trip, it rained the entire hike in, and everything was soaked. We tried all the tricks to get dry wood (split logs to get the inner drier wood, look for fuel under cover, etc) absolutely no help.
At this point, it was dark, we were soaked and it was getting cold. Our troop leader said, "That's enough. Stack up all the wood for a bonfire. All of it."
So we did. Dryish, wet and soaked wood. He pulls a railroad flare out of his pack, jams it into the base of the bonfire and strikes it. 10 minutes later, we had a roaring bonfire :D
All the scouts from surrounding troops descended on our campsite. We kept it burning all weekend long (virtually rained, drizzled or misted continuously).

Well yesterday the misses fed a small fortune into a parking meter before realising the coins were not dropping & had jammed up. Enter the Swiss Champ , combined effort with the file, blade & saw freed the jammed coins up & into the coin return slot 8) 8).
Today HAMMERED in some garden stakes with my MUT 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Technically it was last night, okay.
I bought a set of wratcheting wrenches (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00921936000P) from Sears, and they were packaged with some pretty touch plastic. It was too touch for my c301 to cut through. I broke out the Crunch, but the plastic didn't make room for it's wire cutters to get in at all. However, the serrated knife of the Crunch sawed right through the plastic. That's a nice blade it's got there.
Technically it was last night, okay.
Couldn't help it... :D

You know, every time I open up a new multitool or knife with a multitool or knife I get a picture in my head of a caveman using a sharpened stone to cut into plastic: THE FIRST NEW KNIFE.
I used my Climber to open the mail.
Used the ST-300 to open my paycheck envelope. :multi::rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Good thing I bought such a big tool or else I might never have gotten it open. ::)
Opened 2 beers with my skele, trimmed my moustache with my style CX, pulled a nose hair with my ES4. I also filed my nails with my Charge Ti.

Do you worry about blood (or peach juice at lunch) getting into the joint and gumming up the works? I tend to use fixed blades for 'messy' jobs, and obsess about it when unavoidable.
My Suisse Officier is kind of stiff, but I dread drilling out rivets and such needed to take it to Parade-Rest for cleaning.
That's a cool Cybertool! :tu:(http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/th_uct1.jpg) (http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/?action=view¤t=uct1.jpg) (http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/th_uct2.jpg) (http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/?action=view¤t=uct2.jpg) (http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/th_uct3.jpg) (http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/?action=view¤t=uct3.jpg) (http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/th_uct4.jpg) (http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/?action=view¤t=uct4.jpg) (http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/th_uct5.jpg) (http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/?action=view¤t=uct5.jpg) (http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/th_uct6.jpg) (http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/?action=view¤t=uct6.jpg)
What's custom, apart from the Phillips and the watch case opener?
that is the coolest cyber tool everx10 :tu:
Its a great configuration and is one of my most used SAKs. You can blame Gareth for it having a phillips on the back, he bullied me into it :P Obviously for this SAKs role a corkscrew is superfluous but the mini screwdriver would have been useful on occasion.
The file hasn't ever been used though and would be something I'd drop next time. That said you need something between the driver and blade really to make blade extraction easier. Tools that would be handy on it would be a magnifier and some kind of flat tipped light prying tool (bigger than on the back but smaller than a bottle opener.
The most used tool on it is the watch opener. In this age of sealed units its a must have tool and one Victorinox should seriously consider adding to their 91mm line-up.

I actually tried fitting an electrician's blade in place of the main blade on that. It was close, really close but wouldn't quite fit :(
Hmm that would be a great idea. I wonder if the Elec. blade from the 84mm knife would adapt better. Maybe we just need to start getting the bitdriver and carrier into the alox scales.I actually tried fitting an electrician's blade in place of the main blade on that.

Too bad it wont fit, IMO it is very usefull, and great compliment on CT...
Used my Spirit to cut open the bottom of the brand new couch to try and retrieve our snake that crawled in there. I still can't get him out. My GF is going to use the Spirit to stab me when she gets home tonight.

My mate's electric scooter wasn't working and he suspected the batteries. So I went around armed with multimeter. The problem was immediately obvious, the wire from the bike's charging socket to the battery pack had come loose. The full size pliers were too big to allow me to recrimp the wire back into its connector so a rummage around my coat pockets produced my Clutch. Job completed successfully :tu:
(http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/clutch.jpg)
Probably its last outing as the plier head is sprained and it was a real pain to use :( I managed to sprain it last year when opening a plastic butterfly nut designed to be opened by hand.
For the money is a neat little tool but those pliers can only handle the same kind of workload as the ones on a SAK.
Gerber warranty repair/replacement time?
Just guided my GF by phone to open up her desktop computer, disconnect a failing hard disk drive, and close it up again... all done with her SS Micra. Great success! :tu: :D

Then the advice is keep spirit on desk, and hide all of your tactical long blades... Better to be stabbed with spirit then with some tactical wicked blade... :D :D
Sorry just trying to be "wize guy"! :D
Gerber warranty repair/replacement time?
Possibly. I did cause the damage to the tool but I honestly thought it was a job that they should have been able to handle with ease. How wrong I was.

That looks like what we call 'micro bore' (8 or 10mm I think) over here :think:

Used my Cybertool to take apart and modify my brand new Sennheiser headphones as per this video . Went very successfully and I now have clearer less muddy bass response and a slightly more open soundstage. 10 minutes well spent.
They are quite nice. My laptop can't really drive them properly, but they sound great regardless.
Used my Cybertool 34 to assemble my new gaming pc :D .
And today, Spirit X to change toillete seat, and clean some drains on bath tub and sink...
I'm convinced today that I need full sized SwissTool. Not that Spirit couldn't do the job, just needed another pair of pliers to hold screw (rusted) while unscrewing a nut...
Thaught to make some pics doing it, but you wouldn't like it... :pok: :pok: :D :D :D

She got me to move and open some sacks of what she said is manure but looked like horse s**t to me :ahhh
I used my ST300's blade to cut all sorts of stuff today. I also used the hard wire cutters to snip some coat hangers to make car stereo clip release tools. I was trying to repair my Mustang's faulty stock stereo, but it looks like it is shot and I have to buy a stereo now. Kinda puts a damper on getting the car last week, but I will make do. :-\
BTW, that coat hanger didn't even mark the replaceable cutters on my ST, and the lower hard wire cutters just chewed right through. Best cutters on any MT I've owned.
I didn't take pictures, but...
Charge ALX, Squirt ES4 and Vic Farmer used to install the heater and wire up the heated floor in the bathroom remodel.
I'll try to get pics of the bathroom... :-[
today i went to help the doctor at my job it was only for 3 minutes so i didnt take my freestyle with me and i took the minichamp since i use it every 2 minutes:P
any how, one of the chair's screws became lose and it started shaking when ever someone touched it, so the doctor told me that we should fix that the first thing tomorow i said damn i wish i had my leatherman with me, and when i put my hand in my pocket i found the ps4 just lying around i didnt even know it was on me i thought i only carred the minichamp
any how i fliped the chair open the mini pliers fixed the chair then looked at the doctor and he had this expresion on his face like "what the f--k did you just do? :|"
so yet again leatherman is AWESOME
Vic Executive was used to fix a coworkers glasses this morning. Tweezers put the screw back into place then, flat head end of orange peeler screwed it back into place.I bet they were happy to see again. =)
Used pry tool on SwissTool to unclip the rubber seals around the Toyota's headlights. How exciting (http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn153/NKB_Pocket_Tools/smileys/sleep.gif)

where did you get that keychain case for the leatherman squirt?
Than I cut off a little plastic thingy used for sliding USB in and out of housing with serrated blade! (Dunc matey, you were right, forget the scissors I'll EDC a S4, serrated blade is wicked :salute: :salute: :tu:)
was out today and saw a large patch of stubble on my face that the razor missed. The Spyder UKPK was employed as a straight razor, not ideal, but did get rid of the hair without taking my face with it.

Few days ago I've stripped some wires, reassembled lamp, connected them lamp socket, assembled lamp and screw it uned kitchen cabinet...
Woila wife!!
And now she complaints, and want another lamp like that on the other side of cabinet...
Last night SwissTool did some job again...
Door handle got loosen and stayed in my hand while closing the door, small screw which holds it togeter got loosen, so I tight him up and while dooing that I've noticed few more loosen screws, so ST fixed that too...
Did I mentioned that ST is my favorite allrounder?!? Just like how hefty it feels in hand, and how capable it is! Awesom tool IMHO! :multi:

Tried to use the scissors on my LM PS4 to trim a finger nail but failed miserably. They are horrible scissors.
Used my new black oxide Kick to open several bags of mulch. Very manly.
That black oxide finish wears off very quickly in the pocket with lots of other stuff, but I like the look of a well-used multitool.
I opened way too many beers with my CS4 last night. Good thing my friend's house is within walking distance from my home.
Used my Fuse to gouge a lump out of my thumb. ::)
The really stupid thing was I managed to do it with the pliers. I was tugging at something that wouldn't move, slipped and swiped the tips across my right thumb. ::)Used my Fuse to gouge a lump out of my thumb. ::)
Oh mate, at least my knifeless version doesn't do that to me! :D
I used my blast's pliers to pull hooks out of about 10 fish mouths, I used the scissors to snip line about 5 times because my wife kept getting tangled, and I had a sunfish swallow a hook so he now owns said hook. He's dead though, so technically it's still mine. I then used the opener on my blast to open a bunch of mexican beer throughout the night. Great day!
I do have one of those battery terminal cleaning brushes, and they work very well.
But using one would have required me to walk 30 feet to retrieve it, and we can't have that.
Let a security guard use my Micra to cut off a security label, then used the Squirt bottle opener to open a weiss beer (takes two goes :( ), then used the Juice opener to open another Weiss beer (different beer brand, the opener works well :) ), then used the micra opener to open another alcoholic beverage (no problems here)... things might get a bit blurry from here onwards..the opener on the Squirt really is poor, isn't it. ::)
Wow! That's a fair bit of sawing for a 3 inch blade. Impressive!
I was at a job with a bloke who had a New Wave....
Honestly, even if people arn't members here, everyone who owns a multi is a multi-nerd, and wants to compare tools.
Anyway, he reckoned my old wave was a hunk of poo, and has never been happier since he got his replaced with a new one under warranty....

Used the awl on a BO Swisstool Spirit to dig out a broken shelf bracket, and later to clean out the skank left behind when a battery leaked in a ceiling projection clock. Seems like I use the awl more than anything. The BO Spirit has been my EDC for a good while now.
the BO wearing yet? =)
after landing a job (finally!!!), we needed to remove a small sign from an office to change it for a notice that the office was to be realocated. The screws were torx, so they had to actually go look for them. I happen to have my EDC bit kit with me (aside from my Skeletool and bit extender), and I took it out in a flash, scoring a few brownie points on the way.
Grabbed a couple of Jamo 38 speakers"Made in Denmark" 8) :tu: :tu:

My car wouldn't start after 2.5 weeks of just sitting there. A short inspection later and the culprit proved to be the engine starter. Used the Spirit to :twak: it a couple of times, which seems to have awaken it from its slumber. Result! :tu: :D
Working on my car, again, sigh :rant: But at least these MK2 Golfs are easy to work on and
the Vic Spirit is perfect for the job. Trouble is the car is 20 years old and things just wear out
and give up the ghost ::) The car itself is outstandingly sound but the ancilleries give
occasional trouble.
I used my Skeletool to decorate the boat for the 4th of July parade today, and pull a fuse from the dead stereo.
Used my new Micra to cut coupons for customers at the store today, and to fix my glasses. Used my equally new Wave to fix an HVLP gun, and the serrated blade to cut a calzone at lunch :). Worked a heck of a lot better than the plastic knife that came with it, but mozzarella is a pain to get off the blade.....

I do love the micra, but I'm missing the style.
I wonder where it fell off at?

Nice to see another Scot here Colin, welcome to the forum. :cheers:
My Sis-in-law was actually mocking me not only for having the tools and lights to fix it, but also for having standard domestic fuses in my EDC bag :-\I'd have fixed the problem, declared what was needed to fix it, then pulled my fuse back out again and left. >:D
For the last month or two My Paratool has saved me in the bathroom.

Extracted a stuck .22 casing from the chamber of a youth-sized bolt action rifle. Were it not for the Juice CS4 I had in my pocket, I would still be sitting there staring at it and muttering potty words.
Reached the end of my tether with the kids from the mosque next door today.
Apparently, Ramadan means "run riot and break in to everyone's gardens".
So, MT of choice was a SOG Powerlock - the compound leverage worked very nicely on the barbed wire I have just put round the bits of fencing they have destroyed. :D
Don't know if this counts, but I used my black "Now You're Ready" Leatherman T-Shirt to polish up my new Victorinox Spirit during a hike in the Ardennes forest >:D.:o :twak: :twak: :twak: :D

This isn't my story, but it does illustrate how a motivated person with a multitool can get the job done even when working in a demanding situation.
In "War" by Sebastian Junger is the true story about a platoon of Soldiers is dropped on the side of a mountain in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan. At first they lived in tents surrounded by Hessco walls. Eventually some 2x4's and plywood were delivered, but they weren't given tools to use. They successfully built huts out of the lumber using the multitools that the Army had issued to them.
Can you imagine making multiple cuts on 2x4's using the saw on a multitool? That would be a challenging task under good conditions, but these Soldiers were in firefights every day sometimes multiple times per day.

The last few days I've found that thepry barsflat drivers in the ST300 work great for persuading the "no drip" tops off of liquid laundry detergent bottles, so you can pour out that last bit of detergent :tu:
Waste not want not, I like to say.
Or as my wife says: "I can't believe I married such a cheap (insert the common used term for a child born out of wedlock here)"

I just fill it a quarter to half way up with water, put the cap back on and shake it. Pour the rest out and your good to go.

Yea but, how does that give you the opportunity to use a MultiTool? :multi:
Yes, we must always embrace the opportunity to use a multitool, even if there might be a quicker way. Like when I pop the tops of screwtop beers with my Blast's bottle opener!
My Blast with the bit driver attached was the champ of some Irene cleanup tonight. I used it to dismantle some shelving and a display case, as well as some waterlogged furniture that had to be broken down.

I used my Leatheman in an attempt to fix my Gerber.
It's a new Sports 400 Gerber I received yesterday and the blade nick was on the inside.I was going to swap the blade to the other side but it wouldn't clear the retractable pliers so it went back in the original
position.I guess I can live with it.
From what I read they all are coming like that.No problem opening the blade so I will live with it.It's a new Sports 400 Gerber I received yesterday and the blade nick was on the inside.I was going to swap the blade to the other side but it wouldn't clear the retractable pliers so it went back in the original

Why don't you send it in to Gerber for some warranty work?

Take one mint condition Juice XE-6. Add one bored evil at 3 a.m. fiddling with his Skeletool and what do you get? Hmmm, guess I'll have to mod it now..... ;)

Thanks but all I did was rip off the scales so far lol. While the skeletonized frame looks pretty cool on one side, it looks very mismatched on the other. Particularly the handle where the corkscrew resides because, well, there are no cut-outs whatsoever. So you have three handles faces with cut-outs and one without. Never had any other Juice model, so, I cannot tell you how this compares. Jacking it up beyond the point of no return kinda forces me to mod it now. Anyway, most around these parts know that I couldn't possibly stop there. ;) Come to think of it, the uneven thickness of the handles on this model always dig bug me.....Take one mint condition Juice XE-6. Add one bored evil at 3 a.m. fiddling with his Skeletool and what do you get? Hmmm, guess I'll have to mod it now..... ;)I think it looks great. :tu:

What made you start ripping off the scales in the first place?Truth be told, the uneven handle thickness on the XE-6 bugged me from day one. I thought I would be able to get along better with it, but, that wasn't the case. I always had plans to mod it one day. It has sat at the bottom of the list for a long while. While it is nowhere near the top of the list either, I know I won't ever be EDC'ing the way that it is now. This more or less pushes me to modify it to my liking so I can start to carry it around again. Since tearing it apart, I have come up with a few changes that I would like to do. First order of business is to make those handles the same thickness.....

Well my front right blinker got pushed in and by a dog paw "I will explain if I have to" :D and the bracket brake. When it happened I did a quick Duct Tape job. Well it finally fell and I had to use my C2 to reach and pull down some Duct Tape that was just out of reach. I also used my C2 to break off the rest of a already broken bracket.

**Warning: Alcohol was(and still is)involved with this story**
Welp, this is kinda funny. So it's roughly 3 am(PST) here and I just got back from a night out with some friends. I pull up to my house and get ready to walk up to the door. Normally, as I'm exiting my car I lock my doors and go about my business. Every so often, I will close my car door shut without realizing that I just locked my keys in my car.
SHTF. Tonight was one of the nights that I subconsciously locked my keys in the car. It was at this point that my mangineering motor skills took charge. I hop my brick wall into my backyard and start rummage through everything that would allow me to get my keys. With my Wave in tow, I come across some cardboard. From here I use the blade on my Wave to cut out a vertical strip of cardboard with some sort of "hook" cut into it. This piece of cardboard was my shimmy.
(http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/jakekanen/af060042.jpg)
Thankfully, my window was cracked, just enough to get my cardboard in. Luckily for me, I was able to get my door unlocked and my keys. Or else I would not be sitting here typing this!! So thank you Stylus Pro and BO Wave for making this all possible :salute:

Just finished installing a PIR security light in a back yard :D

Just did a quick running repair on a security door with the Phillips on a MicraI agree. The Micra's screwdrivers are often overlooked as being really very handly, far better than any other keyring sized MT I've tried. Shame they fold in quite so easily but you can't have everything. :)
First time I've ever used it, and I'm quite impressed how well it did :o

The final turn that was needed to coax the screw completely home came courtesy of the Swisstool CS Plus. No slippage whatsoever ... not even the merest hint of a slip, even on an old screw! Where's the "takes a bow" smiley? :D :D

(Although, there should be a "Guinness World Records" smiley :pok: :P :D)
Leatherman is my preferred brand, but I have to admit that the Swisstool wrench/bit kit looks very useful.
I took your advice and got my head checked. The shrink said that the fact that I choose Leatherman illustrates that I am not only sane, but I display superior judgement. :D
My young nephew actually collared me a week or so ago (after I'd just completed an array of tasks with the contents of my pockets) and said "You've got EVERYTHING, why do you always have EVERYTHING". I smiled at him and said "Because if I didn't, there'd be something missing".
He seemed quite happy with that answer :)
Used my Wave to remove and install a new car battery for my sister :tu:
Used my KF4 to open the packaging on another KF4 :D
I left the house today without a multi on my belt, whoops! And, of course, I needed pliers several times today. Fortunately, it was all light duty work, and I had my Deluxe Tinker in my pocket! The pliers got their baptism of fire by pulling lid clips off several gallon cans, loosening and then tightening the cap on a tint machine nozzle, and, along with the Phillips, put together a display rack. That SAK certainly proved its' worth today!
I just love when I get job done with my multi in front of 5-6 :o :o faces!!did no-one in Serbia ever watch McGyver? :D Nicely done BTW. :tu:
Yesterday we started home from work in our truck (small pickup like truck - Russian made Gazelle) and check engine lit on board. so we got out and pop open the front to see. There were small rubber hose broke. I pulled out my CT41 and put the philips bit to unscrew clout http://www.alati.hr/web3/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/__elna_4bbb27b70d6b3.jpg (http://www.alati.hr/web3/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/__elna_4bbb27b70d6b3.jpg) (this is from google translate :think: ) but my coworker pulled out the hose and lost it.... So.... :think: :think: :think:
I found a peace of copper wire, cut it w/wire cutters, cut the bad peace of hose w/blade, put it on place and secure it with wire instead of clout. Put the wire arround hose and twist ends w/pliers untill it was tight enough.... :D :D
Let's get back on beginning, when I pulled out CT41 they all started giggling and poking me, but by the time I finished, they were all :o :o :tu: :tu: :cheers: :cheers:

Are you a Tool and die maker Metro? I spent a bit of time a few years ago as a CNC Operator and Tool and Die apprentice. I need to get back to it somehow, my knowledge is getting rusty.
I would love to have a manual shop. I do have a mini mill, but it's in storage at my uncle's foundry and he doesn't have time to snag it for me.

That's what I have. Only twice have I wished for a bigger mill. My mini lathe is the same case, only a few times I wished I had a larger swing.
The benefit of the small guys is they can be lifted from place to place. Which I do often.

I'm a police officer assigned to a Middle School. Some of the kids made paper-mache sculpters around wire frames. A few had wires sticking out the bottom of their masterpieces. I have several multi-tools and keep a Gerber multi-plier on hand for such public service tasks. I used the wire cutters to cut the protruding wires away so the munchkins didn't impale their little fingers. :multi:

Today I did something odd with my Wave-I traded it for a day with a contractor friend for his MP600. At the end of the day he returned it and showed me the new Wave he'd bought, and now I desperately want an MP600! Spreading thedisease of addictionlove!

Yeah, I figured that I'd be nice to him since we're only going to be on speaking terms with each other for 9 more days-he's a Flyers fan :P >:D.Today I did something odd with my Wave-I traded it for a day with a contractor friend for his MP600.

The Wave is a great tool, but I love those OHO pliers on my MP450. The 600 is a nice solid-feeling bit of kit.
Much as I do like my Wave, the MP600 does have some advantages too it. Instant access pliers for one. :)
Well today I used my shovel MT to plow my backyard garden that I use to grow some organic veggies for my family... :D :D :D :pok: :pok:

Today my Explorer Plus was the workhorse, opening boxes and envelopes, cutting coupons, and tightening up a loose banister in the store. I even used the awl to bore a hole and scratch up a piece of wood to demonstrate how to use some finish touch-up products. I've been carrying it for the past week or so. I think I've found my new favorite SAK......for now ;).

After trying every technique with the Wave that I could think of I found that I very much prefer the opener on my Juice CS4.
Never tried a Juice (although I want one) but I think LM nailed the bottle opener on the Skeletool and the e33 knives. If I know there will be bottles to open I have either one of those. Which also makes me want to add a Style CS (maybe a PS too) too my pocket carry arsenal!

used my sideclip to dismantle a gieger counter
What is on that plate? :drool:
Today I used my wave and my alox to remove a huge splinter from my foot. That thing was at least 1/2 inch long and 1/8 inch wide. Thank goodness my feet have thick calluses on them or I'd really be hurting.
My wife was trimming some bushes and managed to cut the extension cord on the trimmer. Somehow she made it sound like it was the cord's fault.
I used my Wave to cut the damaged section of cord off and installed the plug on the end of the remaining cord. Its the first time I've used the wire strippers on the Wave and I liked it.
Yesterday, I was able to save the day at my step-daughter's wedding shower. I used my Juice C2's corkscrew implement to open a couple bottles of wine. Prior to yesterdays rescue mission, I never thought I'd need a corkscrew. I guess you never know.

They're actually pretty handy for untangling knots too.
i was pat testing today so my sideclip was used to cut the plugs off on items which were buggered
Yeah that would make it much quicker. When all of our tints came in sealed cans I used to keep several of them stashed around, one by each tint machine (we actually have 5 tinters now!). Not as fun as using a SAK though..... :)i was pat testing today so my sideclip was used to cut the plugs off on items which were buggered
We always kept an old fashion church key opener near the tint machine because all of our colorant came in sealed cans. If you misplaced it you faced the wrath of the other employees.

Gerber MP700 for package opening, splaying cotter pins and tightening phillips screws and nyloc nuts while assembling and testing some 38kW heaters. Other miscellaneous opening tasks and pulling rogue bits of metal out of places they shouldn't be too. Not often I need/use a Phillips on a MT but the 3D driver on the MP700 worked a treat - not to mention the guy I was working with walked the full length of the workshop to get a dedicated Phillips driver and I'd got both heaters built up by the time he got back :D :D
... and the day is still young :)

Used the micra for some wire stripping with its modded Flathead into a chisel/wire stripper. I used the rounded portion as the wire was pretty thick. I honestly didn't need to strip any wire I just wanted to use it. Turns out it worked like a dream. I couldn't ask for it to work any better than it does. :tu: (Thanks Steve) :D I have been carrying this Micra off and on for a few days now and am thinking it might be replacing my PS4 in a EDC roll. :ahhh

I still find it impressive that something as small as the Micra can be so fantastically useful in so many scenarios
<wandering thought>
Capt said replacing PS4 in EDC roll. He means "role" of course - heck, I'm pretty handy with typos too ... but EDC Roll ... EDC ROLL ... EDC ROLL!!! :ahhh :ahhh Brilliant!!! Ditch the mini EDC organiser and switch to a pocket sized tool roll! Sounds great - but is that viable? Where do I start? Do I go from fresh or modify a stock item? Canvas or leather? Maybe better as a kind of tri-fold wallet than an actual roll to stop it being too cylindrical. Definate potential there. Bugger - that's another project I'll never find time for :bnghd: Saves trying to tailor your kit to suit someone elses design though - they're never the right size and shape - base the roll/carrier around the kit. Still need to keep it flattish and pocket sized though. Hmmm, interesting ... but needs a shedload more thinking about before it can be classified as one of those fantastic ideas that I'll never carry through ::)
</wandering thought>
I still find the Micra a little too large for key carry though and I always need to have it paired with something rather than stand alone (hence the birth of my Micro Tool Tin). I really like the Spirit style mods on there Capt :tu:
Wow kinda went off on a mini rant there for a sec. :D There were no typos. I will be adding the Micra to my EDC roll. Here's the pic.

You nearly had me for a second on the tool roll too :twak: I think a pocket sized version would be great if it's do-able though. I'm pretty sure my trousers wouldn't take kindly to me stuffing the pictured version in them - besides, I'd look like I was trying to emulate the new Leatherman "Wingman" character in the errrmmm .. speciality movies he appears to be from ::)

took my new Wingman to work today, and used it to open boxes, cut some coupons, do some tinter maintenance, etc. I even had to use the phillips to tighten the handle on a snow shovel! Haven't had to do THAT in October since I was at college upstate New York! We have over 6 inches on the ground right now, and it's still smurfing coming down! :o
Yes it is, faster than any MT or SAK ever has. Only two days owning it and it hasn't left my pocket. Very comfortable to carry and use. I'll let you guys know my impressions after a week or so, assuming I have power to do so >:(. Lost power last night and have no lights or heat. I'm at my parents right now.

MT: Super Tool 300
Task: I used the medium screwdriver to dig a skeleton key out of a crack in a base board..... I dropped the key, it hit the floor, bounced, and found the ONE AND ONLY crack int the wall base board to get lodged in!!!!! Low and behold, I GOT THAT SUCKER OUT OF THERE :rant:
I used my blast to cut up some awesome beef jerky yesterday. I also dreamed last night that I used the saw on my blast to cut up some wood. I don't know why.
walked into the local bagel shop this morning, and a screw in the door hinge fell out and right at my feet. Two seconds with the small screwdriver on the Farmer got the door fixed and me a free cup of coffee for fixing it :).
That looks like it hurt quite a bit. Do you need stitches?
I did something similar with my sideclip awhile back, it took forever to heal.
:oops:
Is the knife OK Jake?

I was a bit disappointed a few weeks ago when I tried to use my Gerber Artifact to tighten a 6mm'gutter bolt', the 'screwdriver' was no help at all :(
But I have been using it to open paint tins this week it did a Great job! :D

This is my day off work, so I'll post something about what I did yesterday.
We had a Turkish Airlines Boeing 777 that came in and the locks that keep all the ULD containers with luggage was frozen. I used the blade on my LM skeletool to dig away at the ice and managed to kick free the lock.
My multitool saved an hour long wait for the 100-200 passengers.

Just ten minutes ago, fitted a new rear high level brake light using my new but old and battered KF4, great little tool regardless of its well used figure :tu: and yesterday using the same tool removed a faulty washing machine door closed switch and a PC PSU. In about hour from now I will be using the KF4 to refit a new door switch and a new PC PSU :) So quick question, what's the current equivalent to the KF4 :think:

:rofl: washing machine's turned in to a saga, more parts needed :facepalm:Just ten minutes ago, fitted a new rear high level brake light using my new but old and battered KF4, great little tool regardless of its well used figure :tu: and yesterday using the same tool removed a faulty washing machine door closed switch and a PC PSU. In about hour from now I will be using the KF4 to refit a new door switch and a new PC PSU :) So quick question, what's the current equivalent to the KF4 :think:
From what you've described - the customer service line at Currys :rofl:
Otherwise, there isn't one
The boys had the day off school today so we made vibrobots out of old phones and assorted other junk. MTs used, one SwissTool, one custom PT-510, Leatherman PS and of course my ever present Scientist.
Today I used my vise to open the packaging on the new shovel and spade I used to bury my dog. Also to cut the ropes I used to lower his casket into the ground.
RIP Tiger, I will miss you always.
used the eyeglass driver on my explorer again but this time to pop a blister :ahhh :D

Thanks, he was my best buddy for seventeen years. He had been seriously ill for a couple of weeks and by rights should have been dead a week or so ago but for his strong will to live.
Yesterday I could not bear to see him struggle for one more day and called in the vet. I hope he can forgive me.

Cleaned out the trap in the walk-in shower. Had to go fetch my Spirit to remove the cover plate though though, the #1 Phillips on the SOG wasn't up to itHaha, poor SOG! LOL I did the same thing today. Pics in a few minutes...I have to catch up on the thread first.
I've used awl on my P4 to drill a hole near bottom of plastic 2lit bottle. There is no water at my current demolition site and I need to wash my hands. So improvised tap. The screw is just to mark the hole, you actualy unscrew lid to depressurize bottle and start water...Very well done sir!

Gerber MP600
Barely managed to open the beer as the lower handle gets in the way. I tried it with a smaller 25cl beer too and it was even worst..
but then I don't actually drink beer all that often.Gareth proves my point :rofl:
The problem with the MP600 is that there is no way to fold the handle out of the way like you would do with most of the other multitools. The actual tool is OK.
Maybe Gerber people do not open many bottles!but then I don't actually drink beer all that often.Gareth proves my point :rofl:
It should work better with a bottle with a longer neck
Happily though this was easily solved by simply sliding the pliers open again and letting the lower handle drop out of the way. Fits just fine now.(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs7/i/2005/229/c/6/_phew__by_imsweet_by_The_Emoticon_Club.gif)

Cool :D Even the most boring job becomes pleasure when you use your multi :D I also had a multi-day, although it was only lots of... postage box cutting & shapping & wrapping & unwrapping... lol
I just love those and gotta admit that specific tools are often handier than jack-of-all-trades. But probably all that could have been done by Surge, that should be tried one day.
I cut away some fiberous debris from a garden tiller with the serrated blade on my Rebar. It might be the first time I have ever found a use for a serrated blade.

today. i used the Spirit's scissors to cut my nose hair :clap:
Helped a friend replace Hardieplank siding on his home. His compond saw's motor quit and we used my Spirit serrated blade to score and snap the final 33 courses of siding. As much as I disliked the "butter knife" years ago, I now find that I use it 95% of the time.
I have become a expert at sharpening and preserving the serrations. Middle age has forced me to use a lighted, table, magnifying glass to accomplish this task to perfection.

I've always believed why trim that which you can pull out with a stout pair of Leatherman needle nose pliers. :tu:

STILL amazes me, those simple little things you never think of, and how the MT takes care of them . You'd think it was made for that... :D :multi:
If I recall correctly, there was an Orthodontist Vic made, right?

Such a small world for me at the moment - all I've done is used the scissors on my SAK to cut bandage to strap my buggered toe up again! ::)That toe's got to come off :pok: :climber: :rofl:
Used my Rebar to cut a rope that tied down a canoe that I bought for $25 dollars.
Used my Charge to disassemble, clean, and reassemble a spray paint-making machine after it clogged to the point it wouldn't work.

A few bits of DIY today, nothing too big.
Replaced some of the plumbing under the kitchen sink, and replaced the valves on the taps on the kitchen sink. Spirit can opener popped the caps off so the Spirit Phillips could remove the heads. Pioneer Harvester used to shorten one of the outlet pipes, and the awl used to put a cup hook inside the door for hanging a dustpan and brush. It needed opening up wider as the dustpan wouldn't hook on, but the Spirit pliers sorted that in a jiffy
Still need to track down (or improvise) a fitting for the overflow though :think:
Used my Victorinox Manager and a bobby pin to pick a lock.
My daughter used her new Gerber Dime to tighten all of the screws in the house.
imagine this ! ~
balanced on a set of steps, paint filled roller in hand, it became obvious i DID need to remove the wall light just as the wife had 'suggested' only moments before i climbed the ladder! Hand moves swiftly to my pocket to unleash my trusty wave or swisschamp or wingman ...or..or....oh! :o
"can i borrow your 'squirt' love ?" :facepalm:
Figured that the scissors of PS4 come very handy when you're sewing something. :D :D
I used my Micra today when we were picking grapes at my village :D The little thing was subjected to about five hundred ... cuts for the two hours of work I did :D
Used the Super soldier to open my garage door.
I would have paid admission and bought popcorn just to see that!¡! :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:The door itself was in working order, but I couldn't find the remote for it, so I had to release the lock. Thats when the Swisstool came in picture. :ahhh

I thought this was pretty funny. Today two kids ran towards me saying "Sir, sir! Can you help us? We put a bumper sticker on this ground spot light and now it is smoking like crazy" at first I was laughing and then I thought that I didn't have anything to remove it other than a knife, but I don't like pulling a knife in public especially not in front of kids. But then I figured; I got my dcf knife with prying tool exactly for this. Needless to say it made short work of the bumper sticker. :multi:

Been wondering about that cigar cutter. I've been eyeing it for a while but I wasn't sure how well it would work.
I have a Xikar cutter and several of the usual guillotine ones so I never saw the need to use the Wenger. The scissors always felt that they had a bit of play in them so I was worried that the cut will be bad. I may have used them once before, ages ago.
Well, I was surprised yesterday. Sliced both cigars, a corona and a large torpedo very easily and cleanly; no shredding. I also have the Victorinox one, but I have never used it as I like a cut rather than punch for my cigars and I also like the torpedoes that cannot be punched. The victorinox is, however, slimmer. A sharp thin slipjoint blade also works well in an emergency.

In general it is folding knives that use a spring to keep the blade open or shut, without locking it, like most SAKs blades and many traditional style knives like the Case sodbuster, barlows, toothpick knives etc. Usually, since they are not designed for stabbing or chopping down trees they have thinner blades, compared to locking knives.
What a dork ^^^^ :)) :)) :))
Used the P-51 on my keys to take a little chunk out of my right index finger. :( I didn't realize the piece of tape I use to keep it closed had fallen off, reached into my pocket to grab my flashlight and OW! :ahhh That hurt!

I used the scissors on my SAK to cut open the cure and seasoning packages for some sausage I made today and used the file on my PS4 to take to corrosion off a battery terminal on a wall clock.
Here's the pic I took. Just filed down the cutout for the thumb a bit, made it a bit more comfortable for him. :tu: Plaster dust is a bit of a pain to get out of the file by the way...

My first day carrying my new Spirit X and.... nothing, no use for it at all. I need to go break something so I can fix it.That's the spirit! :D
My first day carrying my new Spirit X and.... nothing, no use for it at all. I need to go break something so I can fix it.
Used the large Phillips bit on my Balance to tighten the head on my snow shovel, and the blade to open a bag of ice melt. Sure need both here today!
Nope.
Rock salt or calcium chloride for ice melting?
:D Yep, they're calling for 4-6" today. My answer to that question by the way is calcium chloride - it doesn't destroy the cement steps and walkways like salt does.
I went light today and tried out the Spirit S that arrived yesterday. The awl marked drilling holes for hanging shelf brackets. The small slotted driver was used to apply tension to toggle bolt screws while I tightened them. The blade, which cut marvelously, was used on several boxes.
I think I'm going to like this smaller SwissTool.
Yes that is cool. So why did you initially hate the Wave?
Yes that is cool. So why did you initially hate the Wave?
The first one I got had loose blades, so they came open whenever I used the screwdrivers. I never tried again for a long time, but I got a steal on a charge one day and it was a perfect unit. I decided to give the Wave another shot, this time a BO version, and it has been my best friend ever since.

Oh I see. I have had similar issues with a Charge, along with a poor main blade edge grind. I sent it back and got a perfectly fit one in return. Not sure what the deal is with the random QC issues at Leatherman as I've heard other similar stories to ours. The thing is, when you get a good one, it is a great tool that is fun to use. It's just too bad Leatherman can be hit and miss at times.
I suppose there could be a thread for Stupid Human Multitool Tricks but I'll share my story here nonetheless. I was manager at a small plant where production had shut down due to a blown fuse. Thinking myself qualified to fix such things due to my farm background, I opened the electrical panel with my Leatherman flat screwdriver and proceeded to pry out the fuse with the same tool. There ensued a brilliant flash and a shower of burning metal, followed by the realization that I had managed to contact two high-tension leads, and melted a good portion of my tool. It wasn't long after this that I realized how lucky I was not to have been the main conductor of the massive current, as had been my trusty Leatherman tool. I managed to clean it up a bit, but carried it for years after as a constant reminder of my moment of incredible stupidity.
Now you know why multitools aren't the preferred choice of electricians. :D Always use insulated tools when working with electricity. :tu: Do you have a pic of that tool?I don't have it anymore, but try to imagine what it would look like if you used it as a welding rod.
You certainly love your cigars, don't you? :D
Ooooh, cigars.... I though someone had set fire to Mr Hanky this Christmas Poo :ahhh

I smoke 4-6 a day usually. It's kinda difficult to smoke that many as it's cold outside. When I go over to the shop, I'll smoke even more :think: :think: :think: So tasty!¡!
One day at the plant where I worked, things were starting to go wrong

You should email this to Leatherman and they will put it on their website's "Tool Tales". They would most certainly add it to their stories. Last year I wrote them about my 10 year old son: http://www.leatherman.com/Products/story?id=1654&c=70
So I walked into the kitchen, only to find my flex plastic kitchen cutting board melting on the electric kitchen stove. So after putting it off (no-one knows how it got on in the first place) I used my dcf tool to pry off all the goo-ey melted plastic while the stove was still hot. It did its work great I have to say :salute:Plugging in a clothes iron while it's sitting on a plastic shelf can give you the same sort of results. Melted into the carpet also. Don't ask me how I managed to get out of paying the college dorm's damage deposit when I moved out. :angel:
I couldn't count the times I started a job with a Leatherman, intending to go and get the proper tools when it got difficult, but ended up completing the job with the Leatherman anyway.I always reach for an MT first! Only get a dedicated tool if the MT I've grabbed for the task can't actually do the job. In fact, I'd say I use an MT and a SAK for small tasks more often than dedicated tools!

Am I the only one who uses the SAK magnifying glass by holding it up near my eye?

No you're not. That seems to be the best way to use it as far as I can tell so far.
I've been using the magnifying glass on my new Explorer to look at all kinds of things, just for the fun of it :) I'm glad I broke down and caved to the urge to get it. It's a very versatile SAK.

I just ordered an explorer for that reason. The magnifier is an awesome tool and i have been missing it since my swisschamp was lost in our move.

I used my Leatherman 831612 Style PS To remove a old 1.5 tb harddrive from my computer and replace it with a 3tb harddrive. I also filed down my finger nails and clip my nose hair.

That was the main reason I wanted the Explorer. Plus it's the smallest SAK that has the magnifying glass (as far as I know). I didn't want anything with too many layers, and I think 4 layers is my limit. And I have been having lots of fun with the mag glass :D :tu:

It's the smallest readily available SAK with a magnifier for sure, but there are two and three layer models with it as well they are just rare. The Scientist and Yeoman spring to mind. Boy I would love a Yeoman.
I always make sure I have a pair of scissors in my EDC that have the capability of trimming both beard and nose hairs.
IIRC, a TRUE yeoman has a different caplifter and it's in place of the small blade, it has the phillips/mag layer, and a scissor layer. Backspring tools are an awl, package hook, and corkscrew. I could be wrong on any account but that's what I remember.
The Yeoman you will find for sale is just a rebranded Explorer. Yeoman is 3 layers, Explorer is 4.
Maybe I haven't looked hard enough but I can't ever find a real yeoman anywhere. They are a little rare.

Come across this vid for a pocket clip on a swiss tool hope it helps. I own 2 spirit x models. And there highest quality built mt I've seen so far.
I think my 14yr old's basketball was a Angry Bird in a past life :think: :ahhh.
Adding a screw on clip is beyond my limited skills as a machinist because of the accuracy necessary to drill the holes. The stick on clips don't appeal to me because they cause the tool to ride to high above the top edge of the pocket. The pocket clip on my Surge allows it to ride deeply enough so that only the clip shows.
I wonder why Victorinox doesn't seem to have any interest in putting pocket clips on their products. Many people prefer to carry their knives and MT's with a clip. I would think that Vic would be capable of producing a very sturdy and effective clip.

I used my Surge (and in some cases some WD40) to:
1. unstuck a latch (sliding latch)
2. unstuck a second latch :D This time was a thumb-in-the-hole-to-move latch where Surge's pliers acted as a thumb while I hit the Surge with a rubber hammer.
3. cut some electrical tape
Absolutely! Surge, over time, earned its place as my go-to tool for 90% of house work. I seldom carry it outside without a specific reason (Charge is much more pocketable) but while in house, it's what I grab first when I have a repair job to do.I used my Surge (and in some cases some WD40) to:

Used my Leatherman Rebar can opener to open a can.I've never actually seen that done. Do you have a video?

The Manager just about managed the cutting chores, and everything else was done by scrounging around for dedicated tools :-[
I made sure I had my Spirit X and CRKT Edgie on me today though :D and didn't need them ::)
Testing (and in some cases scrapping) all of our spare computers at work. The Spirit drivers are getting a lot of use today.
Oh, and the file makes a WONDERFUL back scratcher btw :)
Between today and my drywall project the other day, I swear the thing has paid for itself already. Mostly because of the back scratching capabilities.
We have been known to cut food with pocket knives... :rofl:
Traditionally in Europe people use single blade knives. So they cannot have a “clean” blade for food and one for “dirty” work.
Some people will cut everything with their knife, then give it a quick wipe and that’s it.. :tu:
Others will use the knife to cut food, then wash it and dry it. That is what I usually do.
Of course it depends on what facilities are available where you use the knife.
The important thing is to remember not to use the knife for food, after you have used it to scrape mud off your shoes etc.
Another problem that may arise is from the oil used on knives or on their pivots; foodsafe or not and whether it makes any difference in the end, safetywise. (Huuuuge discussion in the knife forums..)
I use oil just on the pivots and not on the blades so I do not care.
Then you have to consider if your blade is SS or not and whether you like the colouring or taste left by non SS blades on your food. I cut a lemon and then an onion with an old 1095 knife and the onion was black at the cut.
I have also used multitool blades for cutting food and clean pliers for moving food on the grill (LM Flair :dd: )
Took apart more computers. It's becoming the running theme for my Spirit.
I did notice last night the blade isn't quite up to Vic's usual sharpness standards. It is now :)
X. I used to have an S, and I would use the corners of my Sharpmaker rods to sharpen the butter blade. Didn't work great but was a serviceable solution.
X. I used to have an S, and I would use the corners of my Sharpmaker rods to sharpen the butter blade. Didn't work great but was a serviceable solution.
I wish I had been able to get an S model. I have the regular model with the butter blade. I bought the Smith's pocket sharpener that has the tapered diamond grit rod, but that looks like it would be a little rough. I had based my choice around having scissors, but that was before I got bitten by the SAK bug. Now I have scissors covered by one of those, and don't have to have them on my multitool. I prefer the scissors on an SAK over the Spirit's anyway, plus I can just pull out the SAK for a quick snip if needed instead of pulling out a multitool for that quick task.

91mm SAK scissors really are the best option for EDC scissors. :tu:
Don't fret though, even though they have a small bite, the Spirit scissors are pretty good too.
I used my SAK Pioneer to open a couple of packages that arrived today. One contained another Juice and one had a Minichamp in it. :)

Tested my new PST II's can opener. Didn't do too bad. Then tried my Vic Explorer's can opener and it did fairly well. It definitely outperformed the Leatherman can opener. I didn't test that against the modern Leatherman can opener though, just the PST, which I don't think is quite as sharp as the newer ones.

One thing to keep in mind about Leatherman's can openers is that they are also marketed as bottle openers. So they can't be too sharp, or too well-shaped for either one. They'll get the job done, but won't leave you awe-struck either.
A bit of practice with a Victorinox can opener will have you wondering if a dedicated one is really any faster. (I'm sure Lynn knows, hehehe)

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,37113.0.html
The TLDR short version... mostly not a lot of difference, times range from about 22 to 28 seconds on most can openers for 15oz cans. If you use big, #10 cans, either use a Vic (as opposed to a Wenger) or get a locking can opener.
And finally back on topic... I had one of those AWESOME days where you use a multitool to open packages of OTHER multitools! The blade on my Rambler did the work. Go Rambler!

Mine isn't really addiction :think: Well, ok, maybe :think: I don't own what I can't use, I just have a lot of what I can use. She doesn't see this as pointless but excessive. She has her own MTs as well that she puts in her purse.
In that case, I'm not completely sure I'm an "addict" then as my collection pales in comparison to many I've seen on here. I use basically all I have as well, but I do have my favorites and more regularly carried MTs/SAKs. Some are just placed in various locations for convenient use/storage. I think my wifey is coming around slowly as she has asked for my help that required a MT/SAK several times, but she does think it's excessive. She has a Pink Program Micra attached to a small flashlight that came with my Wave in her purse.

Busy day! :climber:
I had to fix my belt today. The leather inside the end of the belt buckle had worn over time and finally the screws holding that connection wore through that leather. I used the PSTII's small screwdriver to remove the screws and the scissors to cut off the worn out end of the leather and shape it to fit in the end of the buckle. I then used the awl (best awl ever :tu:)on my Alox Pioneer to work out the holes in the leather for the screws. Then I screwed them back in and will just have to use the awl to make a new hole now that the belt is a bit shorter.
Been having an Ikea Sunday! :)
Used my Charge Ti quite a lot to help put some stuff together, including as a small hammer for knocking dowels in.

Of course the wife might look at me funny if she sees me taking pics of my MTs/SAKs in action ::)Believe me, you wouldn't be the first one here to have their partner give funny looks for posting MT & SAK pics! My wife just shakes her head and says oh dear. :D

Just got back from visiting friends in their new home. Nipped to the bathroom before I left, locked the door and the handle from the catch fell on the floor ... :dwts: ... they heard me trying to get back out again afterwards and a voice from outside said "oh yeah, it's broken - good luck with it, it's a nightmare"
:facepalm:
Luckily I had the Gerber MP426 in my pocket so I quickly managed to unlock the door and let myself out. I figured out the problem and within 90 seconds it was fixed for good :tu:

Fish scaler on a SAK also works as a pin-and-handle to open a door that just dropped its handle on the floor. If I remember correctly, three times I got out of a room (usually a toilet) using the scaler :cheers:

I pair my KF4 with a Micra or Squirt S4 :tu:
I would rather have scissors instead of the saw, but by no means am I complaining. I believe if the scissors were there instead, that handle would be thicker than the other like on the S2 and XE6. If that's the case, then I'm glad there are no scissors on this as I like the handles actually being even (I also have a new Micra to cover scissors anyway ;)). I also like the ruler markings and that sweet solar yellow 8)

Nope, I will note that the scissors are the same thickness as a blade, the only reason why that layer is thicker is because there is a spacer they put on the scissor side so the bottle opener would nest next to the scissors. I replaced mine with an awl, and it seems to fit fine with out the spacer.

His old air rifle sight was banged-up and gnarly. He had to carve/scrape it down a bit so his daughter had a clean view down the barrel. Used the pruning blade. (Not sure if that makes sense the way I'm describing it.)

Yeah it is. We were really into the idea of doing it for a while, but it was getting harder and harder to fit in the necessary time to hang out and brainstorm and all that's involved in that type of project. We rarely hang out now as we both are married with a couple kids, so it's not easy to plan. We had pretty much given up on it quite a while ago, but he would occasionally bring it up or do random sketches. Perhaps things slow down once the kids are grown up, but that's a long ways away for me since we just had a baby like a month ago, although my oldest is pushing 13, so in a few years I'll be halfway there. Unless of course we have another ;)

I used the saw to make the initial incision point just for the sake of it, then cheerfully snapped the large blade open and cut the thing in two. There was much lotion left in it but the main point is wife was impressed :o by how smoothly did the SAK cut through the bottle. She didn't say anything but I could just see it. That's the third point SAKs scored on her this month :rofl:

My wife doesn't care much for SAKs/MTs until the time she needs a knife that really cuts... So, I leave all the knives in the house unsharpened except my SAKs/MTs... That way, I subliminally educate her that they are truly necessary if someone wants their job done :D
Next step, I am going to place a Classic on her keys :D

I just can't bring myself to that point of not sharpening knives to prove a point, I just love to keep everything in the house sharp in case it needs used. But then, my wife does value the SAKs and MTs that we have. It is a clever way to go about it though, if that's an issue.
It isn't like that, it's more like Zen... I just leave the knives unsharpened and, naturally, the point is proven by itself :DJust let the river flow :D Fortunately my wife was way cooler about SAKs/MTs piling up than I thought she would and she does appreciate sharp things -she got that from her dad :D but she just won't use them. She doesn't have the nails to open the implements :-\ and she's afraid of how sharp they are. I keep explaining to her that sharp is safer but to no avail, I think. The knives in our kitchen vary from bluntish to quite sharp so we cover most tasks. She has these repulsive warncliff tip, viciously serrated kitchen knives that I cannot wear out that take care of what she is cutting. Otherwise, she will work the scissors. Actually, I find her combo quite scary. She seems to like her yellow Classic however, that's something! :cheers:

An unusual, but good use earlier tonight: I was in the middle of cooking supper when I spotted a bug of some sort on top of the stove. The oven was on and the stove surface was hot I'm sure. The bug was stuck on it's back it seemed as anytime it got on its feet, it couldn't stay as its feet were probably hot. Me, being the sympathetic type, had a quick thought to use the PSTII's pliers to grab the bug and liberate him from the hot stove surface...right into a cooling stream of water washing him down the drain :D Mwahahahaaaa >:D

:D :D McGyver's spirit lives on. I believe I can say that I tailored a solution conveying this message to her grace the wife efficiently today :rofl: :
We had a new curtain made. So she was about to pull the strings on the curtain's upper part to make it fold when hung. She didn't notice that these were not tied so two of them got unlaced.
The trouble was that we didn't have a small sacking needle that it would take to get the strings back in place. Thus out came the Vic Handyman/Spirit S combo.
First, I straightened a paper clip, then cut it at a convenient lenght. Then I filed one tip so it became pointy. Afterwards, I fashioned an eye (a loop?) on this makeswift sacking needle, put the plactiquish string in and I pressed this end of the paperclip down with the Spirit's pliers to make it as even as I could. Next, I used the Handyman's metal file to round that end so it wouldn't tear much fabric apart, holding it with the Spirit's pliers for better grip.

Thanks Monrogue. Wife didn't want to fuel my MT/SAK craze much but she couldn't help exclaiming this worked well. As for thrilling, for me it is, I can't stand doing that to my nails :ahhh :D :cheers:
SAK nail files are simply the best I've ever used. :)
My little daughter came to me with a tiny toy part stuck inside a pen cap. After hitting the cap on my desk for a few times - with no success - I used the Explorer's corkscrew to grab and pull it out. :climber: Not a life or death situation but, for a dad, his kid's "you are my hero" hug is better than anything :)
I also used my self-locking pliers (unfortunately, closer than my upstairs Surge) to rise my older daughter's bike handlebars a bit, put the chain in place and pull the wheel back to tighten the chain.
I used the spirit x wire cutters to make a clean cut on the end of a fishing rod to put on a replacement guide ring. I was able to do it but the spirit design wire cutters didn't work well.

Honestly the wire cutters are my only gripe with the Spirit X. The rest of the tool being perfect makes up for it though. :D

Yeah if they just didn't grind that extra notch on the wire cutters. Honestly I would prefer pointier pliers on the spirit but I'm fine with the ones on there. And yea the spirit is pretty perfect. :)

Yes they are both great. The AL is a little better looking than the TTi I think, and smoother operating as well (at least between mine anyway, sometimes differs from tool to tool). Glad you were able to convert another person and extend the Wave sale to him/her. Nice job :tu:
Built my new PC. Spirit X was on package opening duty.
The second, my son was later paying fetch with me with a short length of PVC pipe. He would throw it on the grass, I would bring it back. At one point, one end splintered. I never took the Charge out of my pocket, and cut the afflicted end off with the wood saw, and we continued our game. I usually only use this implement around Christmas!

First of all... I waited almost an entire week before i posted this, just to make sure i survived my own stupidity. What follows is very slightly gross. So read at your own peril.
About two weeks ago, I started having a weird sensation on the underside of my tongue. I don't know if this happens to other folks, but I occasionally get little bumps that get sore on the underside of my tongue, so I didn't think much of it. Well, a few days later, it turns out the sore spot is more like a skin tag. I have a pathological anger/hatred for such things, and zero patience for them or desire to go have a professional remove them. So (here comes the part that should be skipped by the squeamish)...
I got out my Vic Spirit X, sterilized the tips with rubbing alcohol, and grasped the protrusion with my pliers. First bad news... I FELT it. The thing had nerves running through it. Well... Tough smurf! I ripped it out.
It hurt. Not loads, but it was not fun. I expected there to be blood. There was one drop.
A week later, and no sign of problems.
So, I wouldn't exactly call it my most brilliant move ever, but it worked. If someone is keeping a 'strangest use of MT' list, maybe this will be added. 'Minor home surgery'. LOL

Bittersweet victory.I'm sorry to hear about your mother-in-law's situation. Is she being cared for properly at that place?
I'm sitting in an extended care room with my mother-in-law. The orderly came to replace a container, equivalent to 'ensure'. It's what she's lived on for nearly a year. No actual food.
The automated feeder was wobbly on the IV stand. I used the flathead on my Crosscut to tighten it up for the orderly.
If only it could restore health and youth. :(
The care is very good, but she's battling multiple conditions, both physical and neurological.Sorry to here this. As you said, to bad a multi can't make people well and young.

We're in Hot Springs this weekend and were having snacks and beer at a brewery. The waitress told my daughter-in-law she had to wait for her lambic because she couldn't find a corkscrew and everyone at the table simultaneously said that I had a corkscrew on my Juice Pro :D Pretty funny, if I must say so myself. Juice Pro saves the day :D

As I stated in the Leatherman forum ( :D ) my pulse was used to tighten some drawer pulls while helping a friend move.Glad to see she's getting some good use, Sean :tu: :cheers:
I also used my Wenger SI to cut a nylon strap during that same move.
The mrs made me so proud today. Not only did she use HER puck wrench to install a shelf on her desk but she took a picture doing it!¡! She has been doing an awesome job assembling an office full of IKEA furniture for our home office, I honestly did none of it (too stressful for me). :D :D :D Two desks, wall shelving, floor shelving, two chairs and other small stuff like lamps and such.

One of the owners' 6 year old daughter is here today. She's out of school for a week after having her tonsils taken out. Earlier she was building something with paint sticks, and suddenly came running up to me and said, "Give me your knife, I have a splinter". She wanted the tweezers and remembered that I had them from the last time I took a splinter out of her finger. :)
Read it as training a young lady ... :D
I was once told that you don't own the knife until you have cut yourself with it at least once :D
Then the knife owns you! LOL :D
Used my MT to cut my left middle finger :cry:Hah, I managed to add one on top. Blocked a swordthrust with that particular finger, now its swollen too :-\
That must be the unluckiest finger on the planet. After recovering from a pinched nerve (happened in march) I crushed it (nicely blue under the nail), burned it (yes, stoves are surprisingly hot on the inside) and cut it within the last two weeks. :P
I was once told that you don't own the knife until you have cut yourself with it at least once :DA good knife needs alittle blood for payment for all service you get out of it. This is also how the scales on a sak stay red.
You can also do it like the flamingos and kill lots of red crustaceans.I was once told that you don't own the knife until you have cut yourself with it at least once :D[...]This is also how the scales on a sak stay red.[...]
Wow! That's hard core! I tend to use the sword to block another sword.

My Powerassist got used to replace a curtain rail. Unscrewed screws, pulled old rawlplugs out and trimmed new ones flush with the serrated blade. Nothing too taxing but it did great.Good use, I haven't heard anyone using a SOG too much lately.
Today I decided to carry my TTi, and I'm happy I did. I finally had a use for the file! I used the file to straighten the edge on my snow scraper so I could clear more than an inch of the window at a time.

Isn't surprising how many of us end up saying that! You need a SwissTool next :pok:
I'm already looking, no need to poke :rofl: Which model though? I'm looking at all of them but I am thinking the RS. I would prefer one with scissors, that's my only must have.
Nope :-\ The board is MDF, so next plan is carefully peel the backing fabric and part of the faux leather front. Set circular saw blade 1mm less than thickness of the board and cut from back. Bend toward front to bend/break the board effectively hingeing it so we can get it upstairs. Unfold, trim any untidy edges on the break, and stitch the back with reinforcing strips, replace and restaple the fabric to cover the damage ... and then eagerly await the screams through the wall in the middle of the night when it fails, folds double and smacks him in the face :rofl: :rofl:
I have two,and like you,I'd prefer one with scissors. Neither of mine do,and I've do complaints :D,but then,I always have a SAK to hand...unless I've been testing the Fit :ahhh

Good luck finding one. I bought an original Model 1863 about 10 years ago for $1,500. It's similar to the model you have, but with different barrel bands, internal springs, and hammer. The hammer on the '61 has that odd bend to it because it was a carryover from the Model 1855, which had a priming system called the Maynard Tape Primer. Imagine a roll of toy gun caps held in a metal canister under the hammer. It wasn't very successful. The Model 1861/63 and the 1853 Enfield are probably responsible for more American combat causalities than any other weapon family in history..... And that's JD's military history moment for today, November 23. :)

Today was my newest Swisschamp's first day at the store. It got a pretty good workout. :tu: The can opener opened several tint cans. The inline Phillips took the cover off a tint machine, and the pliers removed a burned out fuse. The awl was used to clear a clogged nozzle, while the scissors cut coupons for customers and the large blade opened cases. The large flat driver pried open a few cans of stain to draw samples and I didn't have a dedicated opener handy. And most importantly, the fish scaler saw service as a fork, allowing me to steal a mozzarella stick from our bookkeeper at lunch. :D

It's a slow day here at the store, plenty of time to get to cutting.... ;) As for the knee, I injured it playing hockey many years ago. It bugged me some, but since I was a bit of a drinker at the time, I never realized just how bad it really was. I got sober and WOW! :o I was in just a bit of pain. My kneecap was knocked off center, and pinned under a muscle, grinding all the cartilage and the meniscus away. The first operation cut the muscle to free the kneecap and removed the frayed cartilage and meniscus. But, the muscles on the inside of my leg had atrophied, and the cap wouldn't stay centered. The second operation cut the top of my tibia and shifted it up, screwed into place, to try and keep the kneecap on center. Worked, but I'm still in constant pain. :( Physical therapy, injections - nothing's worked. Apparently I need a new knee, but insurance won't pay for it since I'm only 34 and will need to have the replacement replaced in 20 years. In other words, it's a total mess.

Dang, that sounds like an ordeal then. So you'll have to wait 20 years or so before you can get a knee replacement?

I sure hope not. If the most recent round of injections (anti-inflammatory and -arthritis) don't do anything, it's an appeal to the insurance company. The shots take about 8 weeks to take full effect, and I had the last one three weeks ago. We shall see. Today's another :( walking day.........
Used the MiniChamp today to open cigar boxes of new inventory at the shop. I was using the Rescue Tool but one of the customers looked at me funny when I pulled it out to open a box. I really am liking the 111mm frame right now but customers obviously aren't :rant:
I dig the 111mm too, and I really never thought I would. I'm in a similar situation though, in that I wouldn't pull it out at work unless I wasn't around coworkers. It's not exactly an office knife, and many wouldn't see a need for a knife at all. My position would probably get by with a smaller knife without many odd looks, but something the size of the 111mm knives is a bit much to most. It's a great knife though, and I like my OHMasterRT very much :tu: I still think I will end up getting a OHT NS so that I have the PE blade that I can sharpen.

That front side serration has grown on me. I'd have never thought it would be one I like as I don't really do CE blades much. I think the sharpening thing is what gets me the least about CE. I have sharpening equipment for serrated. I think it's more the grabbing of the material when I'm cutting something that I like the least about CE. The 111mm CE blade is excellent to me though.

I used my Swiss Tool today to liberate several children's toys from the packaging this morning. I used the plain edge for the tape, the screwdriver for the screws, the serrated blade for the string/rope, and the pliers to bust a few zip ties. They sure do have some secure packaging now days.
The usual: I used my Crosscut to cut open a package with more MTs in it. :DYou're only doing that to stop me taking your Crosscut from you under the "unused MT" section of the official MTo claiming rules (rule 19 para (c) sub para iiv item x ) :pok: :rofl:
Not me but my well prepared friend. A girls best friend is her Juice CS4 especially when her heel needs a quick fix. The Dime also made an appearance today as well and I'm sure her Wenger will have a go at some point.

There's no need to be ashamed of wearing high heels. White stilettos are part of the traditional dress where I come from, in Essex. ;)

I used my Charge TTi's bit driver and bit extender to swap the scissors from my Wingman with the saw from my Sidekick. I also used the Explorer's can opener to pop the washer out that was behind each tool. 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:

I used my PSTII, my Vic Trekker as well as lots of other tools to repair a leaking water pipe together with my dad on the weekend. (Reminds me: My english teacher always said, I could do with some more '.'s in my sentences ;) )
One of the highlights: We could not grind of old brazing solder off. I then tried the daimond-side of the Leatherman file and: It worked! I could then get a better grip with the normal sand paper.
All in all we used the tools to remove old silicone, cut off wool and tape around the pipes, hold a short piece of soldering wire, file down burrs.
Most useful were the 111mm cap-lifter for scraping off silicone and the diamond-file saved the day removing the old solder! :multi:
The powers that be at work have decided that it's time to repaint the store. Now, let me make one thing clear - I sell paint, but I HATE painting. :facepalm: There's a reason I'm on the other side of the counter...... The past several days, my MP600, either the Pro Scout or my BO US Army one, has been used to take down and reinstall fixtures, open plastic joint compound buckets, pull a few nails out of walls, remove screws, etc. The file on the Pro Scout even got used to take down a nasty burr on some metal corner bead. The tools are being used all day, and doing their jobs without complaint. :tu: Which is more than can be said for me...... ::)

Can opener to jimmy open the lid on a "non-reusable" soap container so that it could be refilled. (With a bit of ingenuity and some tools, nothing is "un" or "non" anything :D).
To show some idiot at the fleamarket that LM is still producing the Wave and many other models and they are not worth the high dollar amount he was asking :rant:
Jeez some people are really kidding themselves both at the fleamarket and fleabay with the prices they are wanting. I bring several LMs with me when I go so I can show these smurfholes these tools are common and not some unicorn horn scaled tools. This one guy slowed his roll and asked a bunch of questions and came down a bit but was still higher than amazone. These same guy rarely sale their wares and I see them over and over again. I like to bother them from time to time just to bust their balls.

Used my MP600 Urban Scout to help a co-worker dismantle half of his office desk and cabinets. This is the 3rd co-worker who has done this kind of office rearrange and each time my MT has been the tool of choice. :tu:
Funny thing was he thought we needed a powered screwdriver to undo everything. I pulled the MP600 out of it's pouch and deployed the pliers with a flick and 'snik' and calmly said "I got this". :rofl:

No I haven't-does it work wonders on the joints? :rofl: As for the PST, does boiling water really help with the stiffness? It's mainly the plier pivot that is the issue at this point. I don't want to ruin the finish or anything, but it sounds like that wouldn't be a problem :think:

That'S why he was not in his pocket completely! And I was wondering all morning....
This looks very yummy! :drool:
Do you add anything besides potatoes and the meat to the Kotlovina? I found some recipes with ball peppers or tomatoes or other things online, so there seems to be a lot of variation.

:tu: :tu: :tu: :drool: :drool:
It really is...
For this one you take pork fat in middle and fry potatoes, and on "dry" edge you put Ćevapi + BBQ sausage (bit hot and spicy). While ćevapi and sausage is preparing they melt and some juices go in potato... :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
You can make a lot of different styles... One of my favorites is:
- heat Pork fat - for everyone that doesn't use pork in diet you can choose other kind (sheep, chicken, turkey, vegetable...)
- Take onion (about 1-2kg) sliced and chopped on thin and small pieces
- fry until onion get yellow and caramelise (to enhance taste you can add salt and brown sugar a bit)
- prepare and slice the meat of choice (best is to have at least two different kind) cut it on small cubes like 2cm or 1" each side
- throw them in onion and fry
- add bit of water just to cover everything
- season with red pepper (sweet grinded red pepper)
- you can add as you wish salt, pepper (not grinded), garlic crushed and bay leaves - but keep it simple
- heat should be medium to low
And now secret ingredient!!! :D :D :D :D :drool: :drool: :drool:
Near the end of cooking take one - two table spoons of Plum Jam (it should not be so hard to get) and throw inside... It will give you the thickness, taste... Everything...
It should take few hours to cook it slowly...
At the end serve it with plain boiled potatoes, fresh bread, or you can cook some pasta besides...
Enjoy!!! :cheers: :cheers: :tu: :tu:

On the other hand it came w/perfectly unusable charger... So i tried to fix it... What I was left with is half fix while I don't have soldering iron.... :rant:

Out kayaking with my wife and daughter today, when the handle to control my daughter's rudder came off. I had my Juice S2 in my dry bag, and while the Juice does not have any hex bits, one of the straight blade screwdrivers fit well enough to get her back in business. I think I'll swap out the Juice S2, for my larger Titanium Leatherman with the extra bit kit next time we head out.Go for the Surge if you have one, then you'll have a backup anchor. :facepalm:

I told him the next time he interrupted,I'd cut his thumb off with my pliers( and yes,I'd said it before I'd thought about it :facepalm:)...the dad grins.
Kid stays quiet for all of a minute. I stop. Look him in the eyes,flick out the pliers...SCHNIK!
Kid stayed very quiet after that!
Exemplary customer service >:D

Day before yesterday I used my SkeleStyle team to change out my motorcycle tail lights, with some backup from my soldering gun.
Yesterday I used my Skeletool to open the box my new Dell running Windows 8.1
Today, I jammed my Skeletool against my gum line to pay penance for buying Windows 8.1
I hereby submit into the lexicon "Windows 8.1" to mean a new version of something that has been made intentionally worse in every measurable way. As in, "The new Juice series is a total Windows 8.1; they made five changes and all for the worse."

to help polish the turd that is Windows 8.1, install Classic Shell (http://www.classicshell.net/gallery/).
it will make Win 8.1 act like Windows 7.

I've been saying for about five years now "Microsoft Internet Explorer: The best browser for downloading Firefox since 1996." I think I'm going to extend that to Windows and Linux. Maybe Ubuntu or Cinnamon can salvage this Dell. With the exception of the track pad, I like the hardware.

Oh! how about a Leatherman operating system? Buy the one that fits your needs the best, and if it goes wrong, send it back and they'll probably just give you a new one.

How about a Victorinox OS? It works,has lots of useable features,and only gets updated every 25years or so?

For the first time, the Spirit got used at church this morning. My wife's grandfather was putting up a wall clock, and asked if I had a Phillips screwdriver in my car. I told him I have one on me, and pulled out the Spirit's driver. He normally sheath carries a PST, just not at church I'd say.

I used the awl to make a hole into the Altoids tin and the pliers to take the hot tin from the stove.
The MP400 also got put to use cutting lots of cardboard today. I also used the pliers and small flathead to disassemble/mangle and old cell phone before throwing it away.

Pocketwrench 2 to disassemble a cat scratcher
I also used the Spirit's scissors to cut up a depleted gift card. I'm not a huge fan of these scissors in comparison to the 91mm Vic scissors, but they are tougher, and cut that card up but good without any struggle :tu:
What's up with the eloquent language today OG? Do you like the spirit more than the Wave?
What's up with the eloquent language today OG? Do you like the spirit more than the Wave?
Lol, didn't know I was being all eloquent and such :whistle:
I'm on the fence about the Spirit vs G1 Wave vs other MTs. I've found that I have been missing the Wave since I started with Spirit, but that could just be the fact I'd been carrying it the last couple weeks and became used to having the OHO blades. I do prefer the Wave's pliers though, as I like the more needlenosed shape. Both would be just fine for stand alone carry for me, but the Spirit has the advantage there due to all outside accessible tools. I would likely prefer the Wave's scissors, but the Spirit's scissors are better than I initially gave them credit for. They're just oddly shaped to me, but they're tough and work well.
Overall though, if OHO weren't a major factor for me (which it normally isn't) then I'd give the Spirit the edge due to its versatility.

What in the world was Vic thinking with this?
You have what are arguably the best scissors in the MT world and decide to put out a pliers based MT with some scissors. Well I got prolly a million of the best ones around but instead of using them lets go through the hassle of making a new model and throw them in there?

I cannot wait to get back out on the water. I'm mostly bass too, but occasionally pretend I can salt water and fly fish.I know EXACTLY what you mean about fly fishing. I spent like 200 bucks in gear and the biggest thing I could catch was the back of my head.

Me either.
Of course I used Monrogue's license plate number to track where he lives so there is that.
I needed sharp scissors for precise trimming of fletching tape and feathers. As far as multitools go, nothing beats SAK scissors.I can't argue with that statement :)

You gave that Swisstool a good workout I'd say. A new baby certainly is an adjustment ;). Hope all is going well buddy :)Well, the SwissTool is a beast and those tasks were fairly easy. Still, it takes some amount of construction quality for tools to breeze through tasks. I got that ST from lowtech recently -thanks, man- as my go-to beater MT. Very handy :drool:

As for the little one, so far so good, my friend. He's having some trouble sleeping sometimes and we're already experiencing belly aches but in general I think the three of us are getting along well. Thank you for your concern. I trust you and the girls are doing well? :cheers:

I plan on using mine around the house and bringing it along on any trips by car I might take. As for EDC I'll stick to my Spirit.

I rarely use my MT's as they were designed, they usually get used prying or twisting, hammering, picking, whatever I need to get me out of whatever jam I'm in.

Don't cut sandpaper, fold it in half or score the paper side and then tear it.

I know, but this wasn't the useual sand paper, it was glued on some sort of woven material, it would not tear, you could only cut it.

No worries. I was expecting you to say you already knew that.
Me and the Mrs decided to replace or sliding door screen today. I used the Spirit X and Vic Rescue Tool to get the job done. I started using the Spirit's Phillips driver to take the screen of the track and the small driver to pull out the rubber seal (image 1). The Mrs bought a tool to push the screen and seal into place (image 2). I used the large driver/bottle opener to push in the corners (image 3). I used the blade on the Spirit to trim the excess screen and the finale with the Phillips driver on the Rescue Tool to reinstall hardware (image 4).
The handle on one of the pots felt loose while I was doing dishes last night after dinner. I used my TL-29 screwdriver blade to tighten the screw in the handle.So how are you liking the TL-29 so far?

My 3 year-old Daughter had a 102 fever when I picked her up from daycare yesterday. This morning, she was like new...for 2 hours, then got the fever back and became really whiney. Fed her twice, watched 1.5 Disney movies, and now she's down for the nap.
Doesn't look like I'm going to get out and have a chance to really put my MT to good use, but I did use the small screwdriver to break the seal on a bottle of kids' acetaminophen to help knock her fever down while she sleeps. Those shrink wrap seals are pretty tight sometimes; there's no WAY I could've gotten this one with a fingernail.
In the background, you can see the half-eaten PB&J rice cake she had for lunch.

Later, I used it to take off the acorn nuts and remove the training wheels from my daughter's "big girl bike." (as opposed to tricycle) I'm sad to say that she's not quite ready, so I put them back on and raised them up, so they don't help so much. Still, I don't want to push her and ruin it for her, so: steady as she goes.

Got to use my Gerber Dime in class today. Professor is an older gentleman, did a lotttt of work in the field including months at a time out in the Russian backcountry so not the typical type of professor. Tries getting the light table turned on to show us diffraction of a mineral but the switch is stuck. He looks up and asks if anyone has a screw driver or knife. Room full of blank stares, so I start walking up. He looks up and says oh finally a guy with some equipment. So I open the little flat driver on the Dime and pry the switch on and sit back down.
Very minimal, but it was cool to have someone at the school be glad someone was carrying something, rather than condemning everything as a weapon.

I've found that people with 'in the field' type experience or jobs that require tools and/or improvisation are much less prone to the 'flee in terror, he has a Vic Classic' syndrome. Most of the time, they have a tool on them too.

I used my Wave to peel back the plastic lid on a big bowl of Ramen noodles. Admittedly, the reason I carry a multitool is that my left hand doesn't work, and I use the pliars to take up the slack. Oh, I used the blade to slice through the clear shrink wrap.

I've carried a pocket knife everyday since I was 14 years old. Didn't have multi-tools back then, but my pocket knife did everything for me, and then some. I called it "the thumbnail of last resort," and it was an extension of my hand and a force multiplier for me. Did things then that I wouldn't do now, like twisting fence ties between the handle scales of my Case Executive 41, and drilling pilot holes in wood with the blade, or using the back of the blade to turn flat head screws, and the point to fix my glasses or prying a bike chain back on the sprocket. All those are things we do with multi tools now. Your use of the Leatherman Wave to "take up the slack" as you put it, is why I think most of us carry a multi tool.

GOT METAL SAW :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Yesterday i used the philips screwdriver on my swisstool to disassemble my car key to see why the doors wouldn't lock. It appears that the small micro switch is broken.You just gave it some character ;)
Today i used my swisstool to hold a metal tab in place while TIG welding it. I accidently forgot about the swisstool and heated the pliers to a couple hundred degrees. It was was too warm to touch because i burnt my finge :facepalm: I can't find any purple discolouring so i guess that the heat treatment isn't ruined. But i don't think it got better neither :facepalm:

Used my Swisstool's awl to make make a hole in my leather belt.
I used my Squirt PS4 to operate a tap to wash my hands in a public toilet (some low-life had stolen the handles off the taps >:( ).
Did that come from the blade or from putting you hand in your pocket? Thats the main reason I got rid of my PowerAssist.
Used my ST300 while servicing some doors today.
First time the complex lock and opening/closing system cuts me, but I knew it was bound to happen.

I cut my old credit card in half with my swisstool x scissors and removed those fancy aluminium piston style valve stem caps. I don't advise to use these kind of caps because salt and water gets between the brass valve treads and the aluminium cap which corrodes the two together. Had to hold the valve with a waterpump plier and loosen the cap with my swisstool x pliers.
I have replaced the caps with stock plastic examples. Didn't like the look of them either.
Wish I'd carried my Super Tool anyway as backup--the cutters are far superior to the cutters on that wore out 40 year old pair of linesman's pliers. But, the Super Tool pliers are weak compared to the linesman's pliers, that's why I carry them instead.Sounds like you have had your money's worth out of those pliers - maybe it is time to buy a new (or less worn out 2nd-hand) pair ?

I like it a lot.
The smallest Cobra (125mm) is light and small enough to fit into a Maxpedition organiser, along with the Rebar, bits, spare SAK etc etc. It complements the needle nose MT pliers well, especially where you need to grab larger diameter items, like these pecan nuts. It is really awkward to crack them with the Rebar because you have to open to jaws so wide, but it's a non-issue with the Cobra.
Last night I used the MP600 Pro Scout to remove and serve as an accomplice in the destruction of my old PS3 hard drive. There were tiny phillips screws, but the corner of the smallest flathead managed them. Then the pliers held it on a table while I smashed it with a hammer :)

I used my ST's file to deburr a new key that I had made for work. The blanks we have are too long and have to be trimmed down so they leave a nasty burr that will gum up the lock if you try to let it wear off. That's one thing about the Rebar I don't like, the file is too sharp for those applications and hangs on the burr rather than removing it, while the PST/Supertool/pulse files are perfect for that. Now that I think of it most of the files I've used on a lot of LM's are really good, the rebar is the only one that is too sharp.I do sometimes wish my Rebar had a diamond file. It's not a "budget" model like the Wingman, so why hold back?

Ahem, used my Skeletool to open a floss container to rethread the floss that snapped (short fingernails), found out it was empty. Used it to rip open the packaging of a new one. You know, manly stuff.
no pics but heavy use on the last weekends. I help some friends and family to move the past 3 weekends.
First friend hadn't prepared her move, her apartment was a total trash, and guess what? not a single tool. Her boyfriend dump her and leave with the tools, letting her and the baby.
I had no idea of the situation and just came with a st300 and a pocket wrench.
And had to disassemble everything with just these tools. And i have to say, i was never so happy to have it.
Beds (both mother and baby one's), wardrobe, baby's park, everything was dismount with my st300 and pocketwrench. This is a beast combo. i even manage to unscrew some smurfty allen screw with the flat screwdriver. It totally saved the day
the 2 following weekends were helping my wife's cousin to move to his new house, which was still work in progress, but he have tools so less use of the st300 but it still was helpfull to dismount wardrobe, purge heaters and so on, the best tool is the one in your pocket and not the one in the other room. And my st300 was in my pocket!
I have many multitools, but the st300 is the one i prefers to use in smurfty conditions like those one and it's not as heavy as my surge.
Just used the skeletool to fix a leak at my kitchen faucet. Wowed a waitress by using my Style CS to cut down the extremely long straw they brought for daughters drink cup. She was astonished that someone carried "scissors" around with them.
no pics but heavy use on the last weekends. I help some friends and family to move the past 3 weekends.
First friend hadn't prepared her move, her apartment was a total trash, and guess what? not a single tool. Her boyfriend dump her and leave with the tools, letting her and the baby.
I had no idea of the situation and just came with a st300 and a pocket wrench.
And had to disassemble everything with just these tools. And i have to say, i was never so happy to have it.
Beds (both mother and baby one's), wardrobe, baby's park, everything was dismount with my st300 and pocketwrench. This is a beast combo. i even manage to unscrew some smurfty allen screw with the flat screwdriver. It totally saved the day
the 2 following weekends were helping my wife's cousin to move to his new house, which was still work in progress, but he have tools so less use of the st300 but it still was helpfull to dismount wardrobe, purge heaters and so on, the best tool is the one in your pocket and not the one in the other room. And my st300 was in my pocket!
I have many multitools, but the st300 is the one i prefers to use in smurfty conditions like those one and it's not as heavy as my surge.
Glad you were able to help you friend out :cheers: She sounds like she may be down on her luck a bit and the move may be best for her sounds like :tu:
Also glad you could help your wifes family as well :salute: :like: :like:

Well y'all are invited, but you would have to fight off my daughter for the quesadillas. I make them for her. The secret is butter and real cheese. (No processed crap)You have to fry them in butter. Then finally forget to cut them in the kitchen where there's tons of sharp knives so you use a pocket knife to cut it into triangles.Nah... an invitation :DUsed the new Pioneer X screwdriver to loosen and tighten screws holding radio handsets to hand help radios.

that has got to be CGI, thats ginornous
Not really my tool, but part of my edc. Used my fisher space pen that I always carry to write down the registration number of the van doing a runner after he reversed into a car outside the shops this morning, and also my contact details and the ones of the other witness who I was chatting to when it happened.Good on you for getting the plate number. :2tu:
The car owner, though majorly grumpy as we all would be after someone hitting our cars, was very thankful for the details.
Good deed of the day done very early :tu:

My Surge saved the day for my wife today! Got a call that her truck wouldn't start on the way home from work.
Turned out to be the clutch switch, the plastic bumper had broken and the switch couldn't engage. Sliced up some random pieces of plastic with the Surge, and duct taped them in place on the clutch pedal. Problem solved!
I'll be driving her truck though until our mechanic can finish the repair---apparently my wife doesn't trust vehicle repairs performed with a leatherman and duct tape! :think:

Forgive a heathen for the question, but what type of battery should be used instead of alkalines?
Thanks - I have mostly been using Energizer alkaline disposables.
I have already had a leak in a torch which may have been the battery that was supplied with it.
A tip for anyone trying to clean up the mess left by a leaking alkaline battery - after you get all the loose crap out, douse it and brush the contacts with some cleaning vinegar, that will neutralise it and help clean the metal components.Good tip, I haven't got the battery out yet though!

Yeah I am, still really like it. Wish the knife held an edge better and the serrated wasn't completely useless but other than that I don't have any major complaints. It's easy to use, easy to carry and I feel naked without it. Has proved to be very useful.

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..

Wave for unscrewing the setup based upon a RaspberryPi, cutting the zip ties and assembling it all back together. Experimenting with an original NoIR RaspberryPi camera I just bought

Got to use the trusty Kick ASS’s saw blade to cut down the pesky overgrown branches that get in the way and scratch up our cars whenever we need to back out. Note the diameter of the branches. It did a great job, though I think I still prefer the cross cutting action of the Vic style saws.
Great the phillips driver on the PST :tu:
:like:Oh, only just saw your message
... don't forget to revive the cover foil off the lens :D
Nice work :like: :tu:
Earlier method did not work out so well as the coping saw blade was too tall to fit in the small grooves. So... dug out the Dremel tool and put on a fiberglass cut-off wheel. Reduced the height of the coping saw blade I had on hand, then used the flat side to make more uniform.Taking the interior panel off a door is rather easy once you know how, everybody seems to think it's rocket surgery. I would have just taken the lock off the door and fixed the problem on the workbench. Well it is always good to know there is one more way to skin a cat.

Anticipation was getting to me, and had the LED Lenser H7R.2 on the charger from earlier. Nothing more annoying than an intermittently flashing LED light when it is needed. <insert Grr emote>
So this took a few tries, maybe 4 or 5. Used the Crunch to get on the other end and I had to tug, wiggle, and pull. While using needle nosed pliers to keep the key protector open to see what was going on.

We spent some amazing time in the woods gathering mushrooms yesterday. I used Work Champ and handed a LM Signal with a brand new never used before factory sharped blade to my lady

The badShow contentAfter cutting a few shrooms the blade on a Work Champ stopped being shaving sharp - fixed really quick today, but to me shrooms are a pretty soft substance that shouldn’t affect sharpness that fast
The uglyShow content
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 used the Centerdrive Today to remove the intake wall plate from a Central Vac system in a huge house.Hahah
Then I grabbed a non-conductive fish tape and reamed the pipe in the wall for a few hours attempting to dislodge a blockage of some kind.
I closed the connections with the pliers to make the vac turn on with no hose attached to test the reaming?
I then took a Shop Vac to the thing and alternated between sucking with the shop vac and blowing with the central vac trying to move the blockage in either direction even a little bit!
After about 45 minutes of this I was able to grab and extract some kind of furry beast with the CD Pliers thus restoring the inlet to working!!!

My Rubik's Cube fell and some cube faces popped out. I put them back randomly and the Cube proved unsolvable next time I played with it. I disassembled it using Power wrench II as a gentle prying tool and corrected the mistakes. Now it's as good as new. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220127/6af08db040698f4eb30ebd9ad29a7e7f.jpg)

I do this every time the wind changes. I've used dozens of tools over 23 years. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220723/8a7db7f583ea6b0cdd83b861f70aeea4.jpg)No idea as to what am I looking at

Though happy your tool came in handy
Adjusting a door closer I believe something I do a lot hahaExactly!
Untied a few tight knots with the flathead.
Has anyone tried to resharpen Spirit scissors btw? Is that even possible?Sharpening scissors is possible. However, if they're anything like regular SAK scissors, you'll need to use a different angle. I believe Felix Immler says 65 degrees is correct.
This was not fun,,,Yep, not fun for sure. And no matter how experienced and careful you are - no one is immured from accidents. Last summer I had one go in with the barbel for the first time in the about 15 years I've been actively fishing. It went in a finger tip and it hurt awful, having a pliers ( Wave I believe it was) allowed me to take it out and continue my adventures.

Here is what I carried today : A Rebar, a current tester and a Case 18 Stockman.
(https://i.postimg.cc/rp4G47PQ/3-AE56-D7-A-4-CA7-4151-A156-942920-A11-D1-B.jpg)
The Rebar was used because of a reason I never would imagine might occur - my hands were wet pretty much all day (more on that later on) which led to my fingernails become unstably soft. I tried to open an energy drink can and my nails just bend without even moving the tab :o So I took out the Rebar thinking I'd open a flat head or the can opener and "pry" it open. Guess what - I could not do that with my slimy nails either :think: What I could access was the pliers function and it did the job too. No pictures of that, I was too shocked :D
The case saw a ton of work today. Cleaned and sliced about 60 pounds of tomatoes for canning. All done with this knife. Lately I've learned that small blades carry tons of utility in certain tasks. In the beginning of the summer I used the spay blade on in to clean 15 pound of cherries for the freezer.

And here comes the current tester need. After you can food you usually need to boil jars in order to vacuum the cap. My redneck engineer arse that came out with that device out of an ancient washing machine and a huge portable heater did not want to get electrocuted.

It was a ton of work but healthy and delicious food is worth it. Next farmer's market is Wednesday so I'll probably make some more then.
Cut open my cherry flavored Animal Flex , cause my joints were really begging for it this time...I can empathize. I have suffered with knee pain my entire adult life.

Glad to see you're still hanging in there!
Well done alexanderre, great pictures :like:
My abilities to fix that stompbox would be questionable (I'm much better with things mechanical). Nicely done! :tu:Frankly speaking that’s exactly the way I always feel about those things up until I somehow get it done I’m no professional by any means - just love fixing whatever I can
This time around I brought my Telecaster and my new-to-me yet needing quite a few fixes Fender Champ 600 to the western part of Ukraine while it’s kinda hot in Kyiv.
I also brought a few stompboxes - one of them is my kinda mojo - EHX Holystain - a Big Muff fuzz + some cool effects.
I bought it about 15 years ago and didn’t play much lately - I quit serious music about 5 years ago and didn’t touch it since then.
To my surprise it was in a pretty awful shape - noisy pots and switches disrupted the last bits of inspiration I still manage to acquire .
So today I finally had time to go get all the necessary stuff and time to disassemble and clean it up.
Used Spirit all the way - first the cap lifter to pry away the knobs they were too stiff to be removed with the bare hands- trust me, I really tried
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221030/7de8a23266b34d32fe38f9681532226a.jpg)
Then I used pliers to remove the top nuts - didn’t cover the plier head with any insulation to avoid scratches since those nuts have washers.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221030/a9aeeb58fb94e8990b610d4871f675f7.jpg)
As I approached the foot switches I did cover the pliers with insulating tape and indeed managed to avoid scratches (for the most part ).
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221030/8ba35761497672addfddd24624ba36be.jpg)
And then finally I flipped the case over to unscrew the bottom cover with a phillips screwdriver.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221030/9026849fe5e9f7150ec54872ae93a81c.jpg)
Then it was time to remove the main board - to do so I had to unscrew the input/output jacks with the pliers first.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221030/920268ab64ff392a6f5fe39771e59cc8.jpg)
And there it was - accessible and ready to get its first spa in 15 years
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221030/8f42d1fccfddd5ae399f6a33e4f9c3bc.jpg)
I removed the metal cover of each of the two foot switches with Spirit’s flathead screws and sprayed a WD40 Contact Cleaner inside of it.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221030/48f2bd0acfbc3f1c42ad86b0d643767f.jpg)
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221030/ab50158ce0701f93b4211d343d9a5864.jpg)
Then I did the same cleaning procedure for each of the pots - gosh they were hard to turn at first but gave in a few moments after I sprayed their internals.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221030/58db89770818efa60b47ac434031fe59.jpg)
As a result I got a perfectly working pedal that sounds awesome and is ready to rock now whenever I am
Now I need to get back home where I have a decent Hakko soldering station and replace a malfunctioning volume pot on my Champ 600, but that’s another story .
This is great and reminds me to service my pedals soon…Cool, yet another guitarist among us here
Cool, yet another guitarist among us here
I’m actually thinking of maybe building some pedals myself. The only issue is that I’m a seasoned user and looking for something really unusual and that’s hard to come by in a form of a DIY kit. And a kit is my only option since I’m no professional and would hopefully only manage to successfully assemble a kit
:cheers: bass is my passion. It’s been several years since I’ve really played, so my pedals have been in storage. Should get them out. I’m happy with boss pedals. Had a DS-1 for almost 20 years now.
Bass is even better - always wanted to get a bass and learn to play it with a bassist's mindset :cheers:I agree with you guys!
Boss are a gold standard of course 👍
I also don't play more than 20 minutes a month, but back in a day I thought it'd become my occupation 😀
I agree with you guys!

Busy day for my Spirit X Plus
First I used it to unpack a box of herbal tea (no photo taken), then I cut some dill with the main blade
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230527/221eaaff209aaa4a1274899180a1abbc.jpg)
After that I discovered that a bathroom ceiling light that I only replaced a few months ago went almost completely dead
Used a ratchet to unscrew the chassis of the light from the ceiling and Spirit’s small flathead to disconnect the wiring

One thing that crossed my mind recently is that most of the things we buy these days are disposable. Either due to an attempt to cheapen the production or for any other reason almost nothing is built to last nowadays.:iagree: That's why I hate electronics and modern small appliances; when they break, it's cheaper to buy a new one than repair what you have. And it boggles my mind how Victorinox can continue to offer a product of such high quality at such a low price, even with inflation being what it is. Better yet, it's been my experience that they stand behind their products. They really are a notable holdout in the trend toward cheap, disposable crap.

Really nice thing to do helps quite a lot for the soap to get dry quicker
I was just taking a trip to our grocerie shop and our 4 year old godson was suddely there with his new bike and her mom. So they walked with me to our house and the boy was driving with the new bike all exited. I noticed that the front brake lever was pointing straight down and the bell was unusable from the position it was at. Not a single thing on the left side of the handlebar was going to be used by those short fingers. So I pulled out the Curl and bit set from my shorts and adjusted the lever and the bell so that he could use them. Made sure that the bolts were tight. Happy I had the Curl and bits with me so I could improve the safety of his riding

The northern parts of Alaska and Canada are the same way.It a PS4. Great for small tasks. I like the toolset and the sturdy feel. I think I bought it during a summer holiday trip from a jewelry store we visited. Changed the batteries to a watch I think. And I saw the Squirt there on a display somewhat underpriced. Didn't buy it at once when I saw it but had to go back to the store to buy it after few hours. Lucky I did! Got my brand new Micra in a same way from a flea market few years later :D
