Day 14

At this point in the challenge, Mr. Pinchy has established himself as my firm favorite for work EDC. Today, he got a Center Drive Plus out of the mail. With only 6 (less than an MP400 or a Bond, tied with the Rev) tools, the double blades on the basic Center Drive are a bit greedy, IMO, even if I do like having a separate plain and serrated. It looks like you can get a PE w/ scissors through Gerber's customizer, which I might've preferred, but it would've jumped the price I paid by over a third. Great bit set, so-so sheath.

you could add saw instead serrated blade to Center Drive

Day 15 (aka Midway)

The 400 blunt had its full day today! The switch for my box fans extension was acting rough so, it got opened, contacts were cleaned and lubed, and reassembled (making sure everything worked as it should and, smooth) next was opening bills, and some new goodies including another for-blunting '400 (although by looking at it, perhaps squaring the tips and call it quits). Anyways here's today's entry:

BTW, I concur with you BP, on the CD's appreciation. As a matter of fact, I'd like to add that I'm not very fond of its scissors. I have a hard time pushing with my thumb to cut cardboard, paracord and old credit/medical insurance cards with them; I'd rather use the ones from the MP series. BTW, does anyone know if the CD Plus' scissors are a shrotened-handle version of the ones in the Diesel?

Day 15

Did something called Holi. You throw colored powder at each other and say what you want. Was fun, almost like a water balloon fight or something. MPinchy helped open the box, and the sheath got some nice color. Looks pretty cool. Unfortunately, most of it had rubbed off within an hour.

Day 17

Every once in a while, I buy one of these bladeless multis when I see them on Amazon or wherever. I usually carry them for like 2 days, and then realize they're just adding bulk to my pockets. This one has one of those metals pens, which is neat.

Day 18

Today was "Water Cooler Maintenence and Repair Day".  After cleaning and rinsing, I noticed an unusual drip; the Pro Scout and bit kit came out and were used to disassemble the cooler only to find that a plastic, one-way valve had been disintegrating from the outlet end and was allowing the water to drip out. Combi blade took care of a scrap hose I had around, and the pliers  cinched and cutted the zip ties to attach the hose. Some rust prevention on the compressor and chassis before reassembly and, ready for another 17 years (or perhaps not ... ).  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]    [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]

Hey, we were on water duty too! Much simpler, just hooking up the city water hose on the camper for the season.

Day 19

Tagged in the Dual Force for some more camper maintenance (opening a maintenance panel to service the water heater lines). I didn't have the bit driver for the MP and needed a Robertson. It's a shame the DF is the size of a small house, because I really enjoy whenever I use it.

BP, if you have the driver from a Rebar/ST300/Bond/Fuse/ et. Al, or from a Ganzo or other chinese-made multitool, it will also work on Mr. Pinchy!

Day 19

My first ever black oxide tool, my venerable MP600 Basic! It was used to cut a square of plywood for a puzzle I'm making.  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]

More Zippo adjustments. I wish it was easier/cheaper to get empty Zippo cases. I'm up to 5 inserts (2 original, 1 "yellow" butane, 1 torch butane, and the screwdriver...) and only 2 cases.

According to the handle, this Diesel is a Multi-Plier. Came in the mail and carried today, it's pretty beat up, and will probably get taken apart for mods tomorrow.
