What Did You Use Your Multitool For Today?

[dks]

Tooo Cute!   

Good to see children using multitools early

[AimlessWanderer]

Cute kid Paul - nice to see you're getting them into safe tool use early 

It's only lunchtime here and no major challenges, but so far Yeoman to open packaging and sign for deliveries, Swisstool awl and pliers to coax some big turnings out of my boots which had melted their way in, and crate opener tool to force my way into a couple of stubborn boxes. I'm having a Victorinox day today

Great pic hey bearpark, do you work in a library or museum

[bearpark]

Thanks badwolf. I work in a natural history museum. Its quite interesting work and gives me a chance to test out multis in a few out-of-the-ordinary ways.

And what i love about it is the no blade on this tool, my wife just said to me how happy i must be with her having her first MT    and then said i bet you posted it on MTO    how well they know us

I guess it is really, thanks for pointing that out! I'll make sure to post pics of more museum multi action.

I've been using my sideclip like crazy today for opening boxes, cutting up my lunch, and prying things.

Some electrical DIY stuff... all with my old buddy swisschamp, a portable bit driver and a few rolls of tape.

First I converted an UK mains plug of a cable to a Schuko, to use it without need of an adapter.



Then, lights time. I had a simple lamp directly hanged on the ceiling and it was lacking some power. So I merged three holders into a single power connection.



Attached the stuff on the ceiling



Lamps on



And let there be light :-)




Much better. Plenty of light now. In fact I think I went a little overboard 


EDIT: I've checked the lamps specs from the maker's (philips) site and each lamp gives about 1500 lumen. So I have there 4500 lumen for an area of 23m² / 250 square feet.

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 it

I always use the multi-purpose hook on my CyberTool for that. Probably a different type of trap:

[Zed]

I used the pliers on my paratool and the pliers on my SL pliers to undo the bolts on my youngests little MT and add a large washer as i removed the blade  its all nice and tight now and smooth 

[dks]

I am using one jaw of the P4 pliers head as a poker to push things out. It is the right size for the job.

[badwolf]

I used the saw on my Swiss Champ for a bit of tree pruning while out dog walking and the again to saw a paddy whack dog treat in two, excellent little saw

The cover lifts up quite easily but it's secured by 3 Phillips head screws. The SOG's driver was too small, so I grabbed one of the "old faithfuls"

[Zed]

At work last night i used the awl on my paratool to make new holes on a chalkboard frame to re-fit the hooks for the string, basikly the other side had a better board on it so i reversed the board, the awl on the sog is great, i then used its pliers to tighten the hooks in 

[dks]

...yesterday I too used the awl on my SAK to make a hole in a cabinet bigger (Battery in thed rill ran out and could not be bothered to get the AC one) so that I could put in a "pin" for a shelf...

I used my Spirit X to help put together a Sony Blu-Ray display in a Sam's Club.  I think I need to add a small adjustable wrench to my setup....

That would be called:

The Guppie



Or an Atwood...



Or PocketToolX...


 

[MirrorEdge]

OR , you can get one of these

[Sazabi]

I might need to dust off my first gen Piranah off, either that, or start carrying one of my small 4inch adjustable wrenches, like what 3bdul3zeez pictured.
