Title: Flathead/Combo Tool Uses
Post by: Captain Hook on July 16, 2018, 06:12:25 AM: For some the combo tool is expendable, others invaluable. Here are a a few uses I've discovered it is handy for. 1. Phillips screwdriver 2. Butterfly screw wrench 3. Pop can opener (for those with short fingernails) What are some uses you've discovered for it besides the basic functions? Get creative, and post pics please :D

Also used my Wave...

Wonder how that would work in real life? Maybe etch measurements on the spine of the tool for added function? :think:

total copyright infringement Haha in all seriousness I've always been a MacGyver fan. Since I was 10 or so. My dad called me "MattGyver" when I picked up my first Victorinox at a hardware store and the name sort of stuck
