Cut some loose/dangling rope (about 1/4 inch thick twine) from my cat's scratching post with my SAK Spartan.  Cut "like butter."

Oh yes I am :D  It is now checked off of my retired Leathermans wish list.  I really thought I would never own one as I never would see them on ebay whenever I would check.  I figured they were scarce or nobody wanted to part with them.  However, thanks to this forum and "xdalaw" I now am a proud KF4 owner :salute:  My wife even approved as she knew I really wanted it and had to jump at the chance, plus it is my early Father's Day gift ;) 

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)

The Micra is a sweet, handy little guy ;)  Makes a great compliment to any EDC lineup :tu:

Used one of my Recruits to open a couple of cans this morning, and this evening tightened a couple of screws in some folding chairs at a meeting.  :tu:

I used my Juice KF4 to remove the hard drive from our old computer.  We are now using a brand new one finally :D  Our old one was 10+ years old and incredibly slow.  It just couldn't handle much anymore.  This new one is so much faster and can handle multiple internet tabs open and in use simultaneously.  I don't know what to do with myself on this thing :ahhh

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.

Oh I see.  Well that would be nice then.  I was wondering if the bottle opener was what caused the size difference.

I used the main blade on my climber as a fork to finish my mates chips in gravy at work and the flathead screwdriver to turn off the water to my washing machine in case the pipe bursts tonight :).

Went to replace a tail light (yes the same one I replaced a few months ago) to discover it was working. It was out last night but works now ???

Used the Micra nailfile to, well, file my nails :D  Which reminds me that I recently discovered that the Juice KF4's awl actually works pretty well as a nail cleaner, due to it's dull, rounded tip :tu:

Reassembled the fittings for my 4m*6m shade sail which broke off during a storm the other night. The ReCharge is so much better than a stock TTi for plier- based tasks! :D

The OH GAK got a pretty good workout at the store today.  Turned some screws, a bit of light prying  ;), put a new hole in my belt (in a good direction), opened some tint cans, and lots of using the blade.  I like this knife a lot.  :tu:

Used the main blade on my SAK Climber to open a LED Lenser P3 I just bought. It was in one of those satanic welded plastic packs  :rant:. Torch is pretty cool though  :tu:.

Not sure I understand how you clean a sight with a Explorer unless i'm completely blanking on something.  :think:

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.)

He doesn’t sound like the sort of bloke I would lend any tools to  :-\

I recon you should give him a cheap multitool as a gift then the next time he wants to borrow yours you can say  :pok:  ‘wheres the one I gave you?’

Sorted  :D
