Na lots of the uses in this thread are pretty standard,
Would be cool to read something unusual, like whit the Wine Corg Opener Solution whit the Screws , this was cool
Maybe whe have to many Tools on our Leatherman, so whe ditnt have to think about Alternative Uses of some of the Tools to improving some task whe don’t have the right tool for..

Your SAK is only fully yours, when it bites you, or you opend a Trink of your joice whit it
SAKs i have: Huntsman Light (Red Transparent), Workchamp (Black), Wenger EvoGrip S557 (Red), Swisschamp XLT (Red Transparent)..

I like this idea.  There are a few "stories" threads that are started and fall off pretty quickly, but I always enjoy reading those.  Maybe the main General Tool Discussion needs a tread entitled:
"My Multitool Saved my Skin" or something to that effect.  Being in the general section, it would be for any tool, and would be for clever, alternative uses, or uses worth re-telling. 

I think the Leatherman and Victorinox sites used to have a story page, with stories such as - "I helped the train conductor in Austria repair a steam engine that was broken down in the mountains"

It would be nice to keep the daily use threads that we have but add one to chronicle special uses.

Starting a fire with a saw and a ferro rod, holding hot pans and cups with pliers, sharpening wooden sticks so they could be used for frying bread with a main blade - Signal is great for the outdoors

Today--my ST300 cut some rebar binding wire (the Rebar did too, taking out this same section of fence this morning so some dead pine trees could be cut away), as well as me using the serrated blade to cut away some overgrown grapevines that were in my way in a tight corner.

Sliced and diced some cardboard/saran wrap with my BO Surge. Cut soooo smooth.

Imma need to find a good sharpening system. Some of my other blades are duller than dull.

Replaced a couple of light switches at my in-laws house tonight with my Surge. Sadly, didn't get any pics.

The Fiskars X5 sheath has a ridge on the underside of the handle. The opening is already a little narrow, why is that ridge there?
It bothered me, so I carved it out with a Wingman package opener. Outstanding implement.
Also smoothed it out with the Charge diamond file.



Halfway.


Completely removed, and rounded off. Much more comfortable grip.
