Used the pliers on my Swiss Champ to pull out and slide back in hot oven racks. Didn't have an oven mitt handy and the oven was 425 Fahrenheit.

The frozen pizzas came out great!

Well, all things being relative. For frozen, they were pretty good. Compared with hot out of the pizza oven? Not even close.   :cheers:

Went to the shore for the weekend with the girlfriend. We're staying at a hotel with a jet tub. The overflow drain was in the "down" position, so I used the can-opener driver on my Cadet to move it to "up" and fill the tub another inch or two.

The rest of the uniform is a cheap-looking (and -feeling) Next Generation costume tunic from Amazon. In Operations Division gold, which is the Next Gen equivalent of the redshirt. But it’s also the color worn by all the engineers.  :D

Tackled some wood screws with the Philips on my 80s Explorer. Used the awl to make center punch holes for the screws. Then used the corkscrew to pull some wire through a fence to hang a fall wreath.
Cheers

Used the pliers on the Deluxe Tinker to fix the rattling in this ikea lamp. The little metal clasps that aren't even necessary were loose and needed the leaves crimped inwards to be tight.

Today I used my Stayglow Classic SD to tighten a screw in my front door handle. There is a guard in the way and no regular screwdriver was able to get in that tight spot, and my corkscrew screwdriver was too small. I busted out the little flathead on the end of the nail file in my little classic, went in at an angle and I was able to tighten the screw

Used the fish scaler on my Champion to tuck the strap ends of my dog's new mobility harness into the padded sleeves on the straps. It was the perfect tool for the job - blunt so it wouldn't damage the straps or the sleeve, long enough to get the strap ends down as far as they'd go, and thin and nimble enough to fit inside the sleeve.

Used the saw on my Champ to cut up a branch that the wind had brought down.

Used the scaler to push felt weatherstrip between a window and the frame. Can't beat the scaler for a sturdy, blunt, poking tool!

Used the file on my Swisschamp to make a key easier to identify by touch.
Also used the tweezers and magnifying glass to pull a tiny thorn out of my finger.

Used my Champ to help change the handle on a toilet cistern. Saved me schlepping out to the workshop for tools.  :D :D :D
