Daughter has to do a science project over the holiday break of growing plants from seeds and record variables. So last night cut the tops off plastic water bottles and used the awl on my elecrican to put drainage holes in.

I made something to clean paint brushes in

Used the Awl on my farmer x
to enlarge the drain hole on a camping stove container today.
(the plastic case that holds the actual stove).
Great for removing burrs on plastics...

SAKs will always have a place in my heart... even if their steel is a bit on the softer side... they’ll always be utilitarian in my book.

Cutting more aluminium seals on chemical tanks

First job of the night easily completed with my Swiss army knife.

I fitted cam lock fittings to a transfer hose

Here you can see the hose in use, filling my sprayer

I used my electrician to help strip some of the more stubborn insulation on some cables

 

[sonofwilfred]

I tightened up hose clamps on a prototype spray rig I'm making for spraying liquid gypsum on the tree rows

No photos but I used a Huntsman screwdriver to drain some fuel from the carburetor on my generator today. Just wanted to fire it up a bit to run some new fuel through it. Of course I didn’t actually have the Huntsman on me, it was in the console of my truck. Even though I was in the garage, the Huntsman was closer than my tool box and it was all I needed. It would have really helped had it actually been in my pocket

 

[sonofwilfred]

A broken hose repaired quickly with the aid of my Huntsman. Back spreading gypsum with 20 mins

Unfortunately the SAK couldn't help out with the predicament one of our workers got into this morning...

That looks like a few man hours to repair all right

It ended up not being as bad as it looks. 2 hours in the workshop and I had the furrower back in action. A three point linkage pin had fallen out and caused the tangle.

Often after I use my SAK I think, "I should've taken a pic" well today I remembered I use my SAK at work almost daily even with dedicated tools nearby. Just the simple assembly of Sofa's that we rec'd today presented a SAK opportunity. Just threaded legs to screw in but impossible when they shoot a staple into the threaded hole

So today my small Tinker's can opener/small flat blade allowed me to pry up the staple so I could grab it with my small Knipex pliers so graciously gifted to me from Dan (sonofwilfred) several months back. He also sent several SAK's Thanks Dan, I use the Knipex often

That's great the little pliers are helpful to you Ive been meaning to ask what you thought of them.

Paul, if I had a dollar for every time I used the Small Tinker to fix something in the 31-32 years I’ve owned it.....

I hear you Jim, indispensable

I started pumping gypsum out of an IBC and the container sucked in from the vacuum created by the pump. I had forgotten to take the lid off for air flow. I quickly made a hole in the top with my awl and it expanded back enough to get the lid open.

 

[sonofwilfred]

I opened some tractor treats today.

The ol’ SAK scissors strike again! Cutting up labels for batch #2 of this year’s dark Seville marmalade.
