You guys have any pictures of your swisschamps or swisstools that have been used for a few years or stores of some stuff you've put them through or didn't think they were capable of? Any stories of them saving your butt?
 
Well I don't have any photos of my Swiss champ.I've carried it for about a year.I once used the metal saw to cut out an oil filter on my dad's truck.Yeah I'm sure there was an easier way but....any excuse to use an sak:)Other than that I havent really abused it,just used heavily.
 
I've only had mine for a few weeks, but I think the wackiest thing I've down with it so far was:
I was shooting cans at 55 yards with my carry gun. There were people waiting for a cold range, so they were all watching me. I thought I had finally gotten the rear sight filed down enough, but I guess I hadn't because it was still shooting high. Frustrated, I took out my Swisstool, opened up the file, and ground down the rear sight. Took a couple of shots, still high. Filed it down some more. Loaded up 5 rounds and hit the can 5 times.
 
Well, it looks like it's just me from here on out, but...
I liked my Swisstool CS Plus so much I got a Spirit and a Juice S2 (the Juice S2 being for when I go outside without expecting to need a tool, the Spirit for when I do, and the Swisstool lives in my gun bag).

I was working on the beater car, and I dropped a stubby screwdriver. It went somewhere impossible to get to, and even if I went back to my apartment for magnetic pick up, where it was I wouldn't be able to get it out. Rather than the hassle of going back to my apartment for my ratchet set, I took my Swisstool Spirit out of its leather pouch, held up the hood with my left hand, and removed the 13mm bolt holding the prop rod in place with the Spirit. I then knocked the screwdriver free with the prop rod, and reinstalled the prop rod, again using the Spirit, all the while holding the hood up in my left hand.

BTW, this is a good example of why the Vic plier's ability to open under its own weight is superior to the Leatherman design (easier 1-hand use).
