What did you use your Leatherman for today?

[rishardh]

Indeed I do. It's awlways nice to find that just perfect tool!

The lady of the house asked me if I had a supply of replacement tweezers for her Victorinox Classic SD. (Of course I do.) I gave her a new pair and attempted to turn the old ones into "bushcraft tweezers." The Juice Pro's file helped in that endeavor. Now I just need to come up with something better to hold the tweezers while filing them...

Nice work    I use coffee powder for small cuts.

Thanks! And is coffee powder like the stuff I put in the coffee pot, just ground finer? I'll have to look into that.

[BadMechanic]

At work, I carry around a small assortment of tools. I figured  Id add one of my many leathermans to reduce the tool size and amounts. So I put in the sidekick.

I was changing a diverter gate for the letter sorting machine. There's  2 plugs that are usually hard to come apart (since they arent changed too often). Used diagonal cutters  to grip one side and sidekick other. Popped right off! Including the connector. Paid by the hour not the job

Needed to wire a heating lamp for the babies. So me and the Curl got onto it :





Since the Curl don't have wire crimper I tried to do it with the pliers. The result was not great.



So I took out the ST300 and continued the job with it. I like it's screwdrivers better anyway so...





So here is the nursery, waiting for the inhabitants any minute now

Nice action shots .  Why did the ST 300 join the party? For the Crimper I guess.

When are they going to hatch? This reminded me of my Grandma's ducklings.

Nice action shots!

Did not take Action shots, but the new addition to the collection (B.O. Wave+) was used to open a little bag with an Arduino Pro Micro.

Yep, for the crimper. At the time of taking the photos there were already eggs cracked - you can see it in the last picture. First chicken got out few hours later. They are out now, running around their temporary home in my workshop. First time ever I am doing such things on my own. I find myself thinking about and calling memories of my grandmother a lot during this process.

Very cool and the best of luck with the chicks. They seem to be doing great. We both had grandmothers who hatched birds of some sort  I only picked up her habit of not throwing away used hardware.

Do you happen to know what breeds they are?

[DavisNikolov]

Do you happen to know what breeds they are?

Yep, the dark ones are black australorp. The two yellow ones are a mix from my Lohman brown hens and a big white rooster (don't think he belongs to any breed). I did a lot of reading about breeds before getting those australorp eggs. Main reason for choosing them is that among the mid size birds they are supposedly quite heat tolerant, being bred in Australia. And summers around here get pretty hot in the recent years. But when I went to pick the eggs I ordered the breeder also had Orpingtons (which I did not choose because they would not take heat as well) and after seeing that breed in person - now I want them too. Trouble is I am limited in the number of birds I can have since I live in a city...
When I was a kid in the village of my grandmother I used to breed pigeons. A lot of them and a lot of breeds. Now this passion has reignited, though being a bit more utilitarian with the chickens 

[Farmer X]

  Hope your little ones do well. We at the Farmer X homestead sometimes watch a YouTuber who has a few different breeds of chickens.

[rishardh]

Hamster toys for the kid’s class pet. Hopefully it will not make a meal out of it

Installed the palm swells on a Scout LT slingshot with the Signal.

[Echotech]

Use the Wave’s metal saw and file to remove a ding on the lawnmower

[friendliestdoggo]

Used the scissors to cut a coffee packet
Not what it is designed to use, but also today I just discovered you can open the pliers handles to an obtuse angel and it works as a phone stand lol

[Poncho65]

Welcome to friendliest 

Great uses

[friendliestdoggo]

  thank you
Will surely enjoy my stay

[Mangyang]

I had to cut some OSB boards on the floor that had already been fastened because of a mistake. I could cut them up until the wall where the circular saw could not reach the last 12 centimeters so I put a long t shank blade in my Surge and easily finished the last part. It saved me half an hour of tough work. 

[Poncho65]

Glad to hear it saved you a good deal of time, Mang

[Mangyang]

I was so thankful for that blade exchanger!
I choose a blade with huge teeth that cut on a pull stroke and it worked like a charm.

  Nice to have options.

I received a pallet of equipment and used my Leatherman Wave serrated blade to remove plastic wrap and wire cutters to remove the metal banding.  I also used the Wave as a door stop to hold a door open so I could move the pallet through it and lastly noticed some loose screws on the door and tightened them with the Phillips drivers.  I am constantly amazed at how much can be accomplished with this one tool.   

[friendliestdoggo]

While I was making dinner today, I accidentally ran out of fish sauce. So I came back to my storage for some more. Pulled out my Wave and used the pliers to open tight knots of a plastic bag wrapping as I cut my nails short the other day, used the knife to open a package and used the scissors to cut the seal of a fish sauce bottle inside. 

[Juan el Boricua]

Gettin' home from work and having a craving ...

The Signal got in charge of opening the fillet packages, and scoring/peeling/cutting the plaintains. Too hungry for action pictures, here it is posing with the result, the puertorrican version of fish-n'-chips: fried red snapper nuggets with "tostones" (smashed green plaintain fries)!

That looks quite tasty, Juan

[friendliestdoggo]

Used a bit of the wire cutter on my Wave+ today to cut plastic cable ties
Everything is nice, just except for when I accidentally clamped my thumb between the pliers handle tho
