What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[duckman1975]

Used my SURGE to assemble a backpack gas operated sprayer.

[GraysonK]

Used my Juice SC2 scissors to cut some plastic bags that had been tied around a handle of a drawer and some string holding together some linen.  Also used the large "kind of looks like a screwdriver but more like a pry bar" implement to scrape some gum off of a linoleum floor.  I cleaned it after.

Used my brand new minichamp to open the packaging on a brand new printer 


I purchased it from Tesco, why am'I telling you this well! the thing is I get it home "the M.champ was waiting eagerly 
ok he preformed the job well but I can't say the same for hp. guess what they don't include a USB cable    so no printing for me today as Tesco shuts at 4 PM

Used my Skeletool to help disassemble some lattice from a brick wall. I didn't really feel like walking all the way to the garage for my ratcheting screwdriver. Tried to true a saws-all blade that I jammed into a brick, but no dice.

Used my SURGE!!! to open a Maxpedition Rollypoly pouch I received yesterday

[tcolling]

Used my KF4 to...

...open a bag of sunflower seeds to snack on while I read the forums here! 

[WH867]

Yesterday while in NE Indiana Amish country for an antique power show I used my new style soldier for slicing homemade  Amish bread,trail bologna,and horseradish cheese..    good stuff

I used my Spirit to fight off a bunch of Ninjas that were trying to steal my ice cold beer.  They got the crackers but my beer was safe

Yeah printers dont include that cable anymore my guess is a conspiracy to charge you extra for the cable

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

Used my LM Kick in changing the ignition coil of my old Toyota Corolla, which suddenly stopped and won't start.

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).

I know the score    Many moons ago I worked for PC World for a while, same score.  I can still hear the manager's voice... add on, add on, add on, and make them take insurance!     A soul destroying job.

Could never see you doing that for some reason. 

[Neil]

It was whilst I was living in Liverpool.  It was a job and there weren't many.  Did it until something better appeared.  I wasn't very good at it, I point blank refused to sell the insurance unless I thought it was beneficial (there were a couple of products it worked out good on) and I only added on what people needed.  That did lead to a few run-ins.  I actually felt a bit sorry for the deputy manager, he was obliged to attempt to give me grief over it but new damn well it was water off a ducks back.  He was a nice chap actually, I hope he's done OK.

Never feel sorry for management, we're all smurfs

Now I'm no longer management, I feel it's my God given duty to upset them as much as possible

Some would have settled for a good maiming though

I was under the impression " from what I read here" that you're 17 Yrs and a Cop? 

My diplomatic side "maybe I read wrongly" kicks in
