Day 1/31Easy day into the challenge for the Spirit. Lunch duties and a trip on the train. I do like the blade and the fact that it is lefty friendly. It is wickedly sharp and keeps the edge for a decent time. Good luck gents.Pete
Welcome aboard Davis and Happy Labor Day everyone! Kicking it off for me on Day 1 is some simple parcel opening. We had a general cleaning and lube getting ready!
Hey Pete, I like the way you made it say MTO on the display! Does this show on an info board somewhere else, like in front of the train and in the wagons or is it only on your display ? Either way - awesome ! Thanks Barry ! So here is my DAY 1Needed to make another nesting box at the chicken kingdom. I have a lot of old furniture pieces in the basement, being kept for such purposes, so I just grabbed a drawer to reuse. Screwed it to the side of one of the hens'es bedrooms. I could have used a dedicated tool since I was at home but I have just decided I'd join this challenge so I just grabbed two screws from the toolbox (the Swisstool was already on my belt). No pilot holes, just the wood screws straight in. I was a bit surprised at how well the Philips on it worked (Image removed from quote.)Intentionally used it with the handles opened on the second one, just to see how it works. It feels a bit off in the hand, it's not a screwdriver handle after all, but it does have a good grip and did the job great. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Later on it got inspected (Image removed from quote.)And approved(Image removed from quote.) Later I sliced through some homemade bread (Image removed from quote.)
Day 1 This afternoon I put together a flat pack chest of drawers for my oldest daughter , the Swisstool performed faultlessly A1F7B6F2-2734-4072-8ABD-94BC8D9A3456 by Duncan Moore, on FlickrAB39DBC9-0DE5-4C53-98DE-9159956890C8 by Duncan Moore, on Flickr
Day 1, SwissTool RT being fondled by fellow provider on a 11 day CRE mission.
Nice job! It occurred to me that I don't think I've used the Swisstool chisel yet. I've used the Swisschamp chisel a number of times...need to do something about that this month
Hey Sos24, I see a Firebox Nano in your photo. Cool item isn't it!
Great start - my SwissTool had more adventures on Day 1 - lots of cutting with the knife, which I did not take pics of. But, I did need to use the chisel on a door install to cut some shims that broke off proud of the door frame. Also had to change a battery for my car key FOB and the little screwdriver was just the right size to pop the back off.
I know the price would be prohibitive, but can you imagine a Titanium Swisstool or Spirit? A pocket tool box that would hardly weigh anything at all!
The Swisstool really is a great all around tool. I've used mine for just about everything over the years. I like that it's a bigger tool. I don't have large hands but I like how it feels to use. I use the ruler a lot in my job. I purchased this one from Aloha awhile back and only wish it had a file for some work around the house. The belt cutter saved a boy who managed to get his seatbelt wrapped around his neck once. It cut through the belt like hot butter.Love that watch Dunc!
