i found a use for the really tiny flathead screwdriver on the juice.
I installed a new control switch for a whole house fan, and needed to adjust the speed settings. the tiny little adjustment  setter thing is too small and recessed to be able to use the bit driver on the charge.
i thought to myself: what do i do?
out came the juice s2 and lo and behold the smallest of the flatheads on the tool was just the right size!
i have decided that the purpose of there being such a small driver on the tool was for setting adjustments. later i tried the medium driver as a sprinkler adjustment, which sort of worked. but for sprinkler head adjustment its hard to beat the genus.

My mom broke a fingernail today, so I gave her my ST200 and she filed it down in the middle of a clothing store  :D
I'm a soldier in the IDF so no worries about carrying a blade anywhere in the country  :salute:

Used my Skeletool to cut up tofu for a snack.

The only thing I dislike about the Skeletool knife is the holes, makes it harder to clean when cutting food.

I used my kick pliers to repair a jump ring on my chain.  Worked like a charm.

I have finally done something useful this week!  :D

I've been lying around with sinusitis feeling bloody awful, but the bedroom door has been sticking... for years actually.... pathetic I know!

So I managed to shave the offending wood from the bottom of the door with the saw on the OHT, and then carved it a tad smoother with the blade. This means I don't have to remove and rehang the door, which is what I thought I had to do.

There I fixed it  :ahhh

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.

I decided to go a cleaner route.  Well, not much.  I soaked is rear in poison(ortho spray) and trapped him in a cup while he got paralyzed, then I squished his head with the pliers before flushing him.  I have a 2 year old, no chances taken here.  I also immediately sprayed my house inside and out.  Kiddo is asleep so it has time to dry and not mess with him or the cats.  Well, maybe it could mess with the cats, that may be funny.

Yesterday after work in the parking lot I used my Kick and my Stanley to replace the license plate on my motorcycle. (Five days past due!)

I have found my Kick to be perfect for defeating the locks on control cabinets at work.
I will use it later today to open a panel and work on a sticky motor started.

The Stanley is also a great tool; I keep it in the tool pouch on the bike at all times.

I was enjoying a BBQ at the weekend thinking about my dads old hammer that had been attacked by woodworm  :(
There's a bit of waste ground at my GF's house with some Ash trees, I went over there with a bow saw and 'scrumped' a bit    >:D

I sat by the Barbi with my Skeletool and in a short time I had whittled a new handle, not the straightest handle in the world but OK and The Skeletool was surprisingly comfortable to use  :tu:
The sap was very hard to clean off after I forgot it for a couple of day's, in the end paint stripper sorted it

Obviously I mustn't rush to fit it as I need to leave it to season for a few months  ::)

Thanks Guys, to be honest it was going to be a bit longer but I buggered it up the first time  ::)
Its not a perfect fit but I like how it has turned out especially the wedges (Oak and I think mahogany)

Among other things at work:



Greased and changed line on our giant weed whackers (or "forestry clearing saws" as they're actually called at that size), using my spanner DIY accessory






Also used the knife to get open an old door we have where the bolt doesn't withdraw all the way when you turn the lock



My brand new Crater C33L was also with me and used to cut down small tree sprouts that would have ripped off the trimmer line

I guess this is the current model equivalent of what we use:
http://www.husqvarna.com/us/landowner/products/forestry-clearing-saws/husqvarna-forestry-clearing-saws-for-landowners/

Requires a harness to use, and you wouldn't want to use those without ear protectors. Put a blade on that thing and for any tree up to 5 cm in diameters it'll make a chainsaw look like you're cutting down trees in slow motion <3

Forgot to post this one . Last Sunday we had a coastguard callout to a broken down Jet skier who had fired off an orange smoke . With the Jet skier safely ashore and details taken we were about to head back to the station when a member of the public came over and told us the alarm was sounding in the disabled toilet . Worried that someone was inside and in need of help we went over and called through the door but there was no reply . You need a special key called a RADAR key for access which is only issued to registered Disabled people .The large flat driver on my PST was able to overide the lock and give us access . Luckily it was a false alarm but it was good I had a multitool on me otherwise it would have taken sometime to get the door open .

Basically used it for the same as yesterday, but I also used my DIY t-shank adapter for the Skeletool's bit holder with a jigsaw blade in it to cut down trees that I couldn't cut with the trimmer head on the forestry clearing saw.

Over the last few weeks I beleive I have used every tool on all my MTs.

Used the saw on the ChALX to cut furring down to the right size. I didnt want to walk although to the power saw, and the ChALX saw was surprisingly efficient.
10/10

used the metal file to grind down a brass washer that was just a little too large, again surprisingly effective. (I don't have a grinder setup atm)
10/10

Used the hook to cut some twine.
12/10

Used the pliers to ply. I love the quality and grip the LM pliers have on nearly all materials.

Used 4 different bits on the bit driver within 3 minutes. (which is why I have 3 bit drivers on my EDC)
10/10

Used the Biner clip on the K503 to clip to my harness while working up on a lift. Then later used same clip to pop some beers.
10/10

Used the K503 to open a box. (box contained more tools)

total time saved as a result of my MTs:
about 7.5 hours.
