Used the hook on my Super Tinker to reattach some metal ties to a chain link fence in my yard.  The Hook is a great tool that I think a lot of people think is useless but I find tons of uses for it.

I've seen some good videos of creative hook uses on YouTube. Definitely an under-rated tool.

Needed to cut this 60cm width board of wood in half. Gave my arm a proper workout but managed it rather quickly.

Used the scissors for cutting fishing line. The pliers to empty the fire bucket into the river and the main blade to remove the tea bag from the cup. Unhappily I didn't get to use the disgorger as it was a fishless day on the Avon. I suppose that's why they call it fishing and not catching.

Thanks! Due work stress and hours my training is below par and that does not help with mental side either. In any case, it is a hobby, so having fun is #1 goal ;)

A cadet blade helped me unclog the shop vac. The cadet file worked as an impromptu pry bar for a interior trunk light replacement. And the cadet cap Lifter was used to engage the safety tab on a seatbelt I was looking to remove from the backseat.

 :iagree:

A SAK is tool for freeing one’s from problems and resolving issues.

No matter how small a problem is, it stops function and threatens mission, until it is resolved.

A piece of foam caused an epic catastrophe during a space shuttle flight.

A spark in an Apollo space capsule sitting on a launch pad incinerated 3 astronauts and called an entire space program.

Even the smallest issue resolved is cause for cheering in my book.

After each problem solved I sense an entire probability wave function ranging from no adversity to epic catastrophe collapse.

Really.

This is why I get such a kick out of fixing things and solving problems—any things and any problems.

Afterwards I feel so good; even when I am not doing it for money anymore.

And I really can never let go of an unsolved problem, because I know that wave function is still out there.

There really are just two kinds of persons in my book: those that try to collapse the wave function with a fix, and those that don’t give a damn about what could happen to their fellow cause they don’t care enough to fix things.

Enjoy EVERY moment after you fix something no matter how small.

God only knows what you averted in the cascade of events that might have been.

Frank Capra’s ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE was about this very thing.

A part of each of us is George Bailey.

Capra who served as a documentary and war propaganda filmmaker in WWII and who spent  his life making Hollywood films with teams of technicians deeply  understood this: everything undertaken can be enabled or undone by even a tiny problem improperly dealt with. Capra’s films showed that every person, not just big wigs, has a role in outcomes.

I can argue almost every issue both ways.

But I have no doubt that idfevery person in the world were gifted a CYBERTOOL like mine that the next day the world would have fewer problems unresolved and work a little better.

Used my Pioneer awl to chamfer some 300mm Alu crimp links for a crane temporary supply at work , and the small SD to tighten up a kitchen cupboard. Quite impressed at how the Awl shifts the ali to be honest
