I used the chisel end of the Leatherman Free P4's serrated blade to scrape excess dried glue off a fiberglass ladder.

I used the Leatherman Free P4 pliers to pick up a spider and the serrated knife to cut the plastic from an 8-pack of soda.  Serrated blades work great for cutting plastic.

Going to have a kayak trip on weekend, so I decided it’s time to finally use a Black Diamond lantern I’ve bought a few years ago in Chanonix, France, during Mont Blanc ascent trip.

To my surprise I discovered the top screws went rusty so a Work Champ can opener helped taking them out


Then pliers to pull them away and to hold while rubbing with a WD-40 soaked cotton bud


It didn’t actually help to remove all the rust, so here I’ve decided to use a diamond file on a Wave


Together those tools can do anything, so here’s the final team and results
Dream. Wish. Leave nothing undone. Repeat.

Free P4 on standby at the grill, and was used in the end to remove the aluminium pans.

I bought one new from Tractor Supply with birthday money many years ago. I've carried it maybe ten? times. It's a pretty good tool, given what it offers in tool selection, weight and carry options. I am, however, upgrading it with the hammer/bit driver/pry tool that screws onto the carabiner our own Metropolicty designed. That way, it gives me most of the functionality that I want in the MUT/Signal, and more of a reason to carry it.

Opened a paint can to paint a patch in the wall. Seriously, the one hand use of the Free P4 is amazing.

Used my sidekick for something more than using pliers or turning a philips head.

Our automatic tray sleever wouldn't take trays in. A sensor for 1 of 3 that are required to work was out of wack. Had this issue many times. So many times the screw head is stripped and we cant find a replacement. Therefore, my philipshead was no match. I didnt feel like walking 1/4 mile to get my micro screwdrivers.

I used the tiny flathead at the end of the ruler/file. Fit perfectly. The main issue was getting the honking multitool in there. Had to move a bunch of air hoses and wires to get to it.

In a sentence, used tiny flathead on end of file to loosen, adjust and tighten a sensor to put machine back in operation.
