An email has been sent. I'm honestly still in a bit of shock over it.

Ok, the suspense is killing me....

What was in it!!

I'm starting to get as anxious as you are!!! was it a new experimental model packed with c-4?!?!

Mercury · **Reply #902 on:** March 30, 2010, 12:55:14 AM

Wait, wait....

Was it a perfected new version of the Swiss flame and a bunch of explorers with the old magnifier?!

I used a LM Kick's blade to open up a Staples office supply box, that was delivered to the office I work in.

DaveK · **Reply #904 on:** March 30, 2010, 03:28:37 AM

I used my UKPK and the scissors on my Charge to help me finish packaging all of the tools that I am so overdue sending to people!

There were 12 packages at the end

If I owe anybody stuff, it will all be on it's way tomorrow, with fast stamps by way of apology for my tardiness.

I've included a little sweetener in each one too

The core recieved a beating yesterday, I used the philips to get a frozen screw off a broken court cleaner(like a glorified lawn mower for tennis courts). This feat would not have been accomplished without LM's super long drivers and 90 degree handle positioning

used the cutters on the spirit to go through copper 2.5 mm cable, also used the extension driver set with a 5mm hex head to undo a water valve grub screw.

I used the pocket clip on my charge to slide it in as a make shift lock on broken bathroom stall.

Mercury · **Reply #908 on:** March 31, 2010, 06:40:06 AM

Today was a sick day for my kid so I was stuck cleaning puke most of the day. But I did manage to use the mini screwdriver (from the corkscrew) of my Swisschamp to tighten the scissor screw of an old Climber. Oh, and I used my knife to cut various packages open.

Kmarr · **Reply #909 on:** March 31, 2010, 09:14:45 AM

I used the philips on the Core to tighten up the bolts on a utility cart at work before riding down the hallway on it like a child.

Boy golly I hope they don't look at the camera footage

I used my Wave to open the box of my new Maxped Fatboy

The scissors on my Vic Ambassador got put to exactly the same use as it happens.

My wee one won't have her nails cut by anything else.

Used pen blade on Explorer to open a package I got for Kim...a new phone case. Rode the bike out to take it to her at lunch. She thinks I'm great!

Whoey · **Reply #914 on:** March 31, 2010, 06:57:02 PM

spirit to pull a hard-drive from an external usb enclosure, and to install one in my new enclosure (old one has a flakey power connector)

I installed a new battery in my tractor. In addition to some conventional wrenches, I used a PocketWrench II to pry the battery cable clamps from the terminals and the Victorinox Spirit's awl to remove the date code circles from the new battery's label.

The Crescent ToolZall I had with me lacked an awl so I went in the house to get the Spirit.

A 2AAA Streamlight Stylus Pro LED flashlight shed light on the operation.

I should have posted this last Friday but I forgot . Used my Spirit to cut the tape on 6 fresh water hoses after taking them out of winter storage and setting up for a new season . Used the Spirit alot that day for cutting the wire ties to take down the closed signs and the flat screwdriver for putting up the open signs .

She's just got class

A small pink Classic accomplished the same task on two small boys today. There is some strange synchronicity going on here

I used my CS4 as a pocket warmer. I think it's broken.

AHB · **Reply #920 on:** April 01, 2010, 02:22:23 PM

Used my Kick to repair various gardentools..

Zed · **Reply #921 on:** April 01, 2010, 02:37:32 PM

Benner · **Reply #922 on:** April 01, 2010, 04:09:18 PM

Used my ScrewPop to open a package at work and change the strap on my watch. I love this little tool.

Mercury · **Reply #923 on:** April 01, 2010, 04:34:33 PM

Used my PST to disassemble and reassemble a door lock. Gotta love the Phillips on a PST, way better than the newer ones!

Prying open the cap off a kerosene refill to a portable lamp at work.

Kmarr · **Reply #928 on:** April 02, 2010, 01:54:29 AM

I thought I'd never use can/bottle openers on multis but it turns out I was dead wrong. what else is new

I opened my brother's beer and a can of beets for my mom. none of these tasks involve my personal need but its cool to say "I got it!" when bottles need to be opened

Zed · **Reply #929 on:** April 02, 2010, 07:22:33 PM

I used the Phillips on the pst to open the back of a child's toy hair dryer and the flat head to pry it open as got stuck,its mans work here
