Weird Uses

[Higgins617]

As we are all big fans of the tools we carry, whichever they may be. I'm sure we all look forward to the moment we get to pull out one of our EDC tools for whatever occasion needs to be taken care of.

That being said, I'm sure there have been just as many times we have made up a reason and pressed our tools into use for something bazaar. I've used my Sidekick to spread cream cheese, that's the weirdest I've gotten so far.

What is the most bazaar use you've found for any of your tools?

My DualPro was used to cut a wedding cake. Sadly there are no photos of this (The photographer thought this did not look posh enough).

The photographer was obviously not a tool lover .

I was over at some friends' house a few weeks ago, and grabbed a piece of very crusty baguette. Instead of asking one for a bread knife to split it, I just pulled out my Rebar, and used the serrated blade. Which, by the way, is a GREAT bread knife.

After the thread on cap lifters, I tried using the plier head on the Wave to pop open a beer. It worked fine. That might be the ultimate in pointlessness, since the tool HAS a cap lifter.

Probably most absurd is all the can opener stuff I do, since I have an awesome hand-crank can opener in my kitchen. I spend about 3 or 4 times longer than I need to every time I open a can.

But it's all just fun goofing around. No one is hurt, and it's mildly entertaining.

I think this can explain most of the responses that will follow on this thread , got to say the wedding cake is definitely the most bazaar!

I'll at times wear SAKs as pendents...That's about it.

Everything else mentioned by the other doesn't seem weird to me. A knife is a knife, the only weird use of it is trying to use it like some other tool (driver, hammer, etc...) now that would be weird.

I cook my kid's corn dogs in the toaster over, after 20-30 seconds in the microwave, and I use the pliers on my nearest MT (usually my Octane) to grab them by the stick, turn them, remove them, and set them on plates. It saves my delicate finger tips from burns

Also, before getting a dedicated set of carving blades, I carved a Pine Box Derby car for my Son using my trusty Wave.



My hands were TOAST afterwards!

Sometimes I open coconuts with my sidekick. Not the fresh green ones, but the white ones with the pointed tip wrapped in plastic that you get from asian grocery stores like 99 ranch market.  I tried it on the green ones but they are too wet and it binds up the tool and gets stuff on your hands.
