long time not posting, i was quite busy, we move in a new house, and a lot of work was needed.

All my leatherman have been used during this summer, mostly my st 300 as it was the first tool i grab with me. mainly the blade (what a beast) and the flat screwdrivers see action.
The surge and the wave were mainly used during electrical work.
And i really beginning to love the wingman: the package opener is a beauty to remove silicon joint in bathroom, is save a lot of time!

Having a lot of multitool is usefull, i just let them on the floor and there was always a multi near me wherever i was in the house.
Even my style ps was used for beer openning (i was to lazy to grab the bottle opener as it is an inside tool on the other leatherman) and nail cleaning.

The only drawback is i don't find back my cs4...

Used my ST 300 VX to maintain an oak leaf in the precarious balance I found it in. Phew!

Our cleaner is off this week and she has locked the plastic key thing to the hand wash soap dispensers in the toilet are away somewhere. It turns out the file on a ST300 is the perfect size to open it. It doesn't have the slight bend in it that the key has, so there is a slight abrasion mark in the slot now, but it works.

We must have quite a few walkers instead of washers in my building. As I was changing it someone came in and said 'oh good, thats been empty since yesterday afternoon'  :facepalm:

Last time it took me more than two days; this time, two minutes with the right tools. Also, Victorinox mercifully placed a chamfer along the spring hole for newer models  :tu: :like:

Rebar used for sawing off a small branch, and for opening an ominous package:

Took my wife out for coffee and some book store time last night.  She didn't have her Classic on her, but I had the handy PSTII with its scissors to cut out a couple coupons she had with her.

Later I used it to remove a deer tick that was just beginning to burrow its way into my leg.

My original version Surge was used in removing and replacing hose clamps while removing the intake manifold on my lady's Nissan Murano today. The idiocy of that is the fact that in order to simply change the spark plugs - the rear 3 anyhow - the intake manifold must first be removed. Nuts.

3 hour job on the Murano is about a half hour job on my big Blazer Silverado. I think they HAD to make spark plugs that last 100 thousand miles, because they knew they were going to be hiding them

+1 Thundah!  I grew up doing maintenance on 60's vintage Volkswagens.  I can't even reach the plugs on half of these new cars, let alone find them  :facepalm:. I miss the 70s era Chevy pickup.  Room to crawl in and warm up next to the exhaust manifold  :rofl:
