Used the Pioneer X in the below position as a phone holder while watching a few videos.
The thickness of the 93mm cap lifter allowing it to double as a stsnd is a very underrated feature! :like:

Hummus....so good.... didn't last long enough to take a picture :-)
I don't doubt that for a nanosecond. Hummus is great stuff!

[ hangs head in shame ]
You were prepared. That's hardly something to be ashamed of. :cheers:

84mm Voyageur is such an awesome model - small sleek with just what I need.
Especially with those scales. :drool: Where ever did you get them?

More great stuff from awl! :2tu:

Day 18

This should be the last Secretary I'll show. Its days as a carrier are over, but I sure do like the smooth kelly green.

The entire Voyageur is a Custom from Beaver Bladeworks.  I have the green picture and a turquoise one as well.

Day 19

This black Pioneer is among a few new backups, but it made itself useful today and stripped a few wires.

I do not like the wire stripper notch thing, and simply use the blade.

Out in the field collecting water samples with one of my catchment scientist today, dropped off the samples at one of the nicest Victorian water treatment works in the area....look at that reservoir, it's small but very pretty.

Day 19:

Not much use out of my Electrician today. Cut some film (paint protection film) for the Camrys. Cut a few other things. Then tried, in vain, to unscrew a tiny screw on a heat gun, using the bottle opener/flat blade.

I was really wishing I’d carried my Farmer X with the modded can opener!!  LOL

But, here is a view out the door window of the shop…

Day 19 - used the 94 Wenger Alox Soldier to open some boxes containing fans. It's in the mid 90's this week and our HVAC system is broken and waiting on parts. Just trying to stay cool!

Impressive results! :tu: I probably would have turned it into feather-sticking.

Sure is. I'd prefer a lake or a river, though.

Here is a view out the door window of the shop…
Cool photo! :salute:

Hope it'll soon be fixed. Broken A/C in that kind of heat sucks! :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
Another great day, y'awl! :2tu:

Day 19

Today's job required scissors. The eponymous SAK got the call-up.

Those purposeless little loops on the backs of my boots only caught the cuffs of my pants. Thanks to some help from the Farmer X, they are annoying me no longer! :woohoo:

Cool, looks handy. I got a dewalt 20v drill and impact driver set given to me 12 years ago and have been basically locked into their battery system since. I hear a lot of good things about Milwaukee though
