I am really trying to recall if I've used my plier based MT to cut food
. Here's my situation. I have options so a MT just wouldn't be my first choice or second. My MT much like zoidberg and ThundahBeagle tools, they are used for pretty everything a tool is used for, dirty things, gross things, toxic, etc, and a wipe of the blade wouldn't be sufficient enough. The other thing is my file. I use my file a lot and metal shavings have to be present within the tool
. I've scraped crud with the flat drivers and honestly I just dont think much about "cleaning" the tool. I spray with WD40 and give the tool a wipe and thats pretty much it. The other thing is I use "tool grade" lubricant on my tools not food grade.
If I need or want to cut something I tend to have options available. Its not that I wont use my MT its I don't have to. I kinda figured most of you lot was tool heavy.
