Used a Waiter to dig out the broken main blade stub out of a small Tinker that I picked up yesterday.

Just catching up on this thread - There really are some great posts and novel uses of SAKs recently  :D     :tu:
Thanks for posting everybody   :salute:

Used the magnifying glass on this scientist to identify a monogram on an old- maybe late 1800s era silver plate fork that I found metal detecting today at an old homestead.
Loved all the metal detection stories and some amazing finds - Ancient European coins in North America - Strange    :think:

Used SwissChamp pliers to remove thorns from bike tire, the pen to mark the holes on the inner tube  , and the Phillips screwdriver to adjust a jumping gear.
Hey Weasel - I have never seen rear suspension with the damper at the top of the back wheel - How is it ?

Also loved Kamakiri's use of the Phillips driver as a No. 5 Hex - Brilliant

Did a little rib practice today. Used the tweezers to pick out some imperfections on the finished box. They are a little short for this job, but they would certainly get it done in a pinch.

A small fix for my Time Capsule


A tinyish button used for resetting the device fell off during the dust cleaning and it really took a few attempts to put it back. Tweezers and pliers on a Work Champ did the trick though

(Please excuse my dirty fingernails had just finished putting a night crawler on my wife’s hook) I Used the straight pin in my Super Tinker to poke some plastic out of the eye on my jig-head, and used the scissors to clip some fishing line!  :climber: Almost caught a big catfish, would have made a great photo op! :facepalm:

I read this on this forum before but today I used my Climber's Corkscrew to screw into a ceiling tile and pull it back into place.  On some ceiling tiles with mini holes in them the corkscrew can pull the tile down and it doesn't leave a noticeable mark on the tile.  This doesn't work on smooth ceiling tiles just an FYI.

The SwissChamp has been getting a workout this week... Pen blade to open a new shipment of pipes and tobacco and to scrape the inside bowl of one of the pipes clean. The saw to cut some wooden dowels in to toggles, the file to de-bur the ends of the toggles and to cut a small groove in the center for tying the cordage. Multipurpose hook to put tension on the cordage while adjusting the knots for the toggles. Scissors to cut cordage and trimmer line. Inline Philips driver to unscrew some access panels. The forked end of the fish scaler to push the end of a spring back in to place for a telescoping pole. And finally the magnifying glass to check out a very tiny spider while taking a break.

I didn't find a suitable screwdriver, so I had to use my best friend to adjust my lighter
