What did you use your SAK for today?

One of my Mom's plants kept flopping over and wouldn't grow upright

So made a wood tripod for support with my Vic soldier

Thinned the sticks on one end to go into the soil and made holes with the reamer on the other end to join together with string
 
Took apart my entire laptop just to get to the broken keyboard, replaced the keyboard with a new one, then put everything back together, and I did it all with a 58mm Victorinox Rambler. I did not use anything else besides this beautiful little SAK.

I'd really like a word with whoever designed my laptop so that the keyboard is literally the last thing you can access after you've unscrewed and removed every single other part in the main body.
 
Used a broken SAK to fix a broken SAK with one of my favorite SAKS.

saved this scissor active leaf (bottom):

rs=w:400


put it in this c.’48 235ka (climber small):

rs=w:200


Used the Troubleshooter‘s openers to pry and screw and the file for some of the metal shaping and trimming. Happy 4th!
 
Used the scissors on my Huntsman to cut a bunch of paracord for zipper pulls.

I've been going through the process of replacing every zipper pull tab with paracord pulls on every bag/pouch that I own. Every time I think I've finished, I realize there's something I missed.

I've amassed quite a large pile of metal pull tabs and I have no idea what to do with them.

Living in south Florida, I have an in-ground sprinkler system to water my lawn. The wood saw of my SAK is perfect for sticking into the recessed threaded tube of pop-up sprinklers so I can remove dirty filters. After cycling through each zone and blasting the dirt out of clogged, but now headless sprinklers, I use the saw to pull and extend the now clear tube and then re-thread the spray head after the dirt is cleaned out.

Make a damascus or laminated blade with them?
Melt them into an ingot?
Cast a mini anvil?
Use as fishing sinkers?
Lay out so the kiddies find them with their bare foots in the dark in retaliation for all the LEGO blocks  you found/find in the dark with your bare foots?
Tie together to make a "chain mail" shirt or a hippy curtain, instead of using beer/near beer/soda pull tabs?
Tie together to make a sheath for one of your knives?
Use to make a wind chime?
Decorate the exterior a bird or squirrel nest box?
Glue to your car and completely cover it (excluding the glass and lights) like Liberachi did one of his Rolls Royce and one of his VW Beetles with aftermarket fiberglass RR grill and hood (during the '74 "gas crisis") and at least one of his Grand Pianos used on stage with 1/2 to 1 inch squares of mirror?
(Those two mirror cars  had to be an umm ... "major challenge" ... to drive in Las Vegas during daylight hours in the summer ... or at night in Las Vegas any time of year ... I believe both cars and the piano are on display at his museum, if it is still open.)
