:D

It came like that  :hatsoff:

I wanted to use it for cannibalistic purpose, but this thing is litterally a razor !

I'm in love with it :dd:

It's actually in my pocket :D
Why don't you reprofile the blade shape to round out the spine a bit and make it look like a one-of-a kind Mod ?

used to strip an electrical cable, for a project that I hope to show you later.

Yes, you're right, the blade is broken. But this thing is still sharpenned as f*ck, I could split my finger easily with it !

Poor PST, injured but still at work...

I think this is my favorite; we have something in common ;)

Former owner wins a Doofus Prize, Tim Leatherman gave him two different flat screwdrivers he could have used to pry with, but no, he had to use the tip of his knife  :facepalm:

Used my "new" Blast to assist with an unplanned plumbing project.... Found a leak from our shower, had to track down where it was coming from so the Blast pulled the face plate off, was used to turn it on and off with the knob removed, and played the hidden feature all tools have, a hammer to knock out the dry wall I had to cut to access the lines.....

Got it all buttoned up, I hope.

  New to me (Not so) Free T4 helped open a printer box, and get that assembled and parts & accessories rescued from their individual packaging.

  Unfortunately it could not help with the endless setup for the next 4 hours... Whatever happened to USB to Printer cord, turn the thing on, handshaking was easy, and could print? Why all of this WiFi and WPS nonsense on a new printer. I just wanted to print a return label to Razer, which I had to do via iPhone Sharing options.

  Where is that brick wall emoticon at?  :bnghd:

Yes, it's a shame :/

At what point someone decide it's a good idea to use a knife blade as a lever or screwdriver?  :facepalm:

Hard to find some parts for PST on ebay... still in my pocket, waiting to find a replacement blade... it bite's me yesterday in the evening, juste closing the (rest of) the blade, it closed on my finger (cause I'm an idiot) :D

Did a bit of basic plumbing today, removing and replacing a cracked 2inch waste pipe. 5 bends in the space of a 2 foot run  :rofl:.
I used my Rebar file to clean and then roughen the end of the pipe ready for glueing.

Today used Surge to hold nut in in place while i ratcheted bolt, it worked like charm for holding.
Now my car suppose to be ready for next weeks inspection.

Please don't prepare food after repairing your car with Surge.

Luckily i tend to clean my tools after day is over and oiled bit with food safe oil, thats also reason why carry my SAK alongside so i can do food prepping with SAK if my other tool is dirty

Arc helped take apart the big computer for some long due dusting. Used it on mostly to push back those rubber things that hold all the fans in the enclosures. As I am writing this post on the already assembled and running PC, I kicked something under the table. It's one of the cover plastics I forgot to place back in  :facepalm:

I'm at a friend's house tonight. The tab for opening the can broke, and they don't have a can opener. No problem, I have my PST :multi:

They don't question why you carry "THAT KNIFE'' when you do something they are not able to, do they  :whistle:  :D

They've always seen me with my PST on my belt, but for them it's some kind of habit of mine :D
