Great posts everyone!

Day 9

I liked Texas' ice tea seal removal process so when the cream needed opening I tried it. 
Worked great, but a word of caution, I found I have less control when pulling with pliers and the cap I was removing splashed little droplets on me.

Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

Outstanding Lisa!  I can't get a decent grip on those pull tabs. These things get me too.

I know what you mean Barry.  I can barely open a bag of chips anymore.  Seems everything is sealed extra strong, either that or my hands are weakening.  :think:

At a holiday craft sale in town, selling my wife's and daughter's baked goodies.  Trying a cupcake, cut into wedges.

Day 9



Rainy day wood pile pick today. I got a couple of good uses out of the MP600 today. We had a dimmer switch for the dining room light start to flicker the light. I would say it was close to 20 years old or so.. it had one of those touch pads you used to set the dimness for the room. Well I got a new switch the other day and my wife kindly reminded me to change it. Anyway, changed it with a rocker switch with a slider. Much easier to use and control the dimness of the room. Wife is happy so we will chock it up as a win. Second use was to pop to top of a bottle of tonic.

Reading you awl using your MTs to open bottle seals, plastic inserts and even snack bags.   Makes me feel so much better😜

I keep a REBAR on the counter, a PST on the end table near my normal seal for those tasks.

My new issue is the water  bottles!!! Seem the bottles are thinner materials, the lids are screwed down tighter, any more when I open a lid, I have such a grip on the bottle as I twist the lid, I squirt about a 1/4th of the water on me and people within a couple feet.  A death grip…
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

The wife and I get a lot of individual serving sized chip bags to pack in our lunches. Last year I accidentally opened one from the bottom, but noticed that it was much much easier to open. so much so that I've been doing it on purpose ever since. Seems to be consistent on large bags too.

Sorry to interrupt,  just thought I'd share. We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.  :cheers:

DAY 10

My MP600 came with a bit kit in the pocket of the pouch, but
if you have an MP600 that did not have the bit kit, but have
a Leatherman bit kit, it will work with the Gerber MP600.

If you also have the Leatherman bit extender it will work too.

What do you awl use for sheaths?  I picked up my MP 609 used, and it didn't come with a sheath.  I got a leather sheath from Gerber, but it usually holds my Center Drive.  I repurposed an old Center Drive cloth sheath to carry mine.  It's pretty durable and roomy.
