What did you use your SAK for today?

Pulled the tops off of some Japanese spice cans so my wife ould repurpose them. The Electrician answered the call.

Well, I got to church early yesterday with my acoustic guitar for rehearsal before the service. The strap button on my guitar had worked loose and was barely hanging on. I thought "well I better go out to the truck where my tool bag is and get a screwdriver and tighten that up. Grabbed my keys and headed for the door. Wait! Stop! I keep a little a little Classic on a chain in my vest pocket. Yep. Pulled out the nail file and tightened that little screw right up! Saved me. Who knew...?

Used my Pioneer X to drill a new hole in my belt.

I bled the diesel line of air on an irrigation pump with the aid of my huntsman.

I really don't use my Wave+ all that often (the one I keep in the kitchen junk drawer) but tonight, rather than walking downstairs to get a Phillips head to reattach the handle of my Weber Q (propane grill for those who may not know) which I keep on a side porch by the kitchen, I grabbed the Wave, opened the screwdriver and reattached the handle that had dropped the screw out of one side. I have these things in my vehicles too but not being a tinkerer or looking for ways to use them, they mostly live in the glove box as just-in-case items. I do love them, however, because I like gadgets.

I opened my mail and a package so far today. I know. I live such an exciting life. LOL

Used my old Picknicker's awl to poke a leaking O-ring out of a rotary fuel pump.

I used my Fisherman knife to cut the line as I respooled two fishing reels getting ready for the upcoming fishing season.

Used the scissors on my Tinker to cut thread on a shirt button that was falling off.

Got a surprise cake for my better half's birthday. Used the Explorer in my pocket to trim down the provided stand (cardboard wrapped in aluminum foil) so it would fit our fridge.

There are some manners in any orient country AND Switzerland.

Classic cut package tape and scissors cleaned up a busted corner on my fingernail. Small SAK sess a lot of action.

Sunday, I went for a very slow but fairly long woods mosey. I'm glad I brought along an EvoGrip S18. I mistakenly left a walking staff I like to use in the car's trunk. Before venturing too far, I found a proper sized hardwood limb on the ground. All it needed was a few small branches sawn off, and the bark peeled from the handle area. Both were easily accomplished with the yellow S18 and I had a confidence inspiring walking assistant to accompany me. Victorinox makes a simply fantastic wood saw and it's blade steel gets plenty sharp for light bush crafting.
Sorry, no photos (you'll have to use your imagination). I have a laptop that's refusing to accept new pics.

I keep a Leatherman Wave + in my kitchen junk drawer. Even though I have a wide range of proper hand tools in the basement, 14 steps down from the drawer, I'm amused how often I'll grab the Wave when I need pliers or a screwdriver. Yesterday, I used the pliers to help release the chain from a toilet flapper that needed replacing. Living the dream, baby...
