The pliers on my Wave served to pick up half a lizard that the cat delivered in the living room.

I used my Skeletool in muddy water to fix a sprinkler head.  I have 2 Skeletools, and this one is heavily used, so I figured it was my most expendable Leatherman.  When I was done, I sprayed it off with the hose, wiped it off, then gave it a good spray of WD40.... as good as new :)

Awesome, keep dermabond at my place, but that is more definitive for sure.  :tu: :tu: :tu:

My Curl's first cutting job (aside from receipt-cutting sharpness tests): lunch!

I used my Leatherman Rebar to cut some leather strips.  Leather was to think for my other knives to cut in 1 pass.

My OHT has been missing for many months... today I found it whilst moving (again :bnghd: ).
I went to use one of the blades, chose wrong but went with it anyway.

Wave+ helped me on my last Colorado State Fair meal of the year.   Oh and it also cut strings on bales of hay and straw and cut zip ties in signs today

Used the awl and Phillips on my rebar to drill some holes in drywall and install a towel rack, respectively.  It just reminded me how badly I want an awl on the wave!

I always keep atleast one leatherman on my work desk so I am using them daily. Cutting fingernails, opening letters etc.
Wave's diamond file is just superb for small adjustmens. Last fix was to grind a counter part of the door lock little bit bigger to make it work proper. It is difficult to find as good size diamond file as Wave has anywhere. Normal hand tool files are way more thicker and bigger or then they have way too small.

Before getting ready for work. Mother in law's battery wont crank. So Tread and ratchet came in handy. When I couldn't find an extension.

Had to clear the grown up weeds and little tree sprouts from in front of the gas meter, so the serrated blade on the Wave+ came to the rescue.  Too small of stuff for the saw.

Breaking in a new BO supertool 300.   Used it for for putting up some outside lights today and very happy with it.

Awl was great for making some holes in plastic, small flat head great for terminal blocks, philips for screws, pliers for cutting and stripping wires and handle crimper. Also used the body for banging in some Rawl plugs🤔 excellent tool. Alway stayed away from total inside tools but very happy with the supertool

Had to bend a clip that I bent too far with the hammer.
Super tool to the rescue.

Had a tough weed in the driveway.  Chose the aerated blade rather than the saw.  It worked.

Pipe repair where valve broke and half was still stuck deep in the PVC pipe. Managed to get the stuck part/s out. Used the Crunch to get rusted parts unstuck to assemble the flush tank and bidet assembly again.

 :D Never heard it being called that way, had a good laugh. Love the serrated blade on my Leathermans, but prefer using the saw when it's a sawing job - it's just easier to sharpen in my opinion.

I used the bit extender and 5mm hex bit on my Curl to tighten my office chair’s wobbly arm. I made sure to bring the bits to work today specifically for this purpose.

I suddenly remembered that the Crunch in my pocket has a philips driver.
