For the love of a spork! All things gadgety!

I'mOneToo · 11-14-2009, 02:18 AM

Every gadget I've acquired has become lost at some point, except for my trusty mini Swiss army knife. It gets used nearly every day. Hope I don't lose it but now I've probably cursed it, dammit.

JustLovelyJenn · 11-14-2009, 02:41 AM

My dad has some sort of odd obsession with having tools he never uses... so I just use them when hes not looking. *bats eyelashes*

but honestly... my "i just cant live without" things are still duct tape and zip ties... *shrugs*

Jess · 11-14-2009, 07:07 AM

I love the micro hook! I must have one and be apexy cool too now!
Yes, that's the hammerhead Jack! < insert lil MC Hammerhead dance here>
They also have a pretty snazzy multi-tool that has attachments for cutting stuff etc.
My newest obsession is a sliding double compound miter saw. No more flipping the crown to get the right cuts! Although the missy elliot song about crown molding was hot.."put the crown down flip it and reverse it ".. That WAS about home repair wasn't it? It's got a great beat and I can dance to it!

The gadgets in "another thread" can also be found at homo depot. The plumbing section has a wonderful little "funny pipe" as I recall.

Keep the gadgets coming!

christie · 11-14-2009, 07:16 AM

Just for the record, there is NOTHING funny about the "funny pipe" except maybe some

moments.

Does anyone have a Dogie Doolie? Its on the list to purchase but I wanted to ask of anyone's experience with it? Like it? Love it? Couldn't live without it? Don't waste the $?

Jack... just how many trip wires do you encounter that you might need that grappling hook thingy? LOL

I had one of those Dogie Doolies in a house I rented. It was killed by the lawn mower. RIP Dogie Doolie.

I dont know if I would call it a gadget but I call it sent from the heavens LOL
As some of you may know, I have a huge french mastiff puppy and her days of dragging me where ever she wanted are over LOL

Its been a long time since a walk was enjoyable. It stopped being enjoyable right around the time she hit 75 LBs. she would get this look on her face and I knew what was coming. just taking off from a dead stop to a full run. there goes arwen, followed shortly by me sideways LOL

But thanks to the ever wonderful Miss Christie, who highly recommended it. I bought one and now I am back in control of this monster. She hates it that I can stop her in her tracks LOL but there was very little struggle to get her to wear it and has settled in nicely to it.

so thanks Miss christie from my back, arms, legs and everything in between LOL

christie · 11-16-2009, 07:33 AM

Why not just attach sis to the back of the lawnmower and send her bobbing for lil green apples??They'd be doing <<<<that and you would have a helluva view HEH! One of my fave tools is my BuckLite knife my father gave me the day I joined the Army. I have lost a lot of things along the way,but I have carried that knife day in,day out for 24 years now. I have used it for everything from eating,car repairs,door opening,etc and would be at a loss without it! One of my favorite tools for most mechanic type work is GearWrenchs,open end/box end combo with a ratchet in the box end. Awesome for working on cars where you ain't got enuff room to fit a conventional ratchet. Anddddddd.......my dream tool....my own Iron Man suit!!Shad

christie · 11-15-2009, 06:01 AM

My Ex and her partner went to Switzerland last year, and bought me a wonderful Swiss Army Knife. It remains wonderful, as I can't figure how the hecka to open it.

Darth Denkay · 11-14-2009, 12:13 PM

So, anyone who knows me knows that I believe if you can't do it with a swiss army knife then you don't need to do it. I've got 91 of them (and 1 ordered). I've always got 2 or 3 on me and they get used every single day.

Hey I'mOneToo! I so agree with you! The nice thing is that they're easy to replace. And hey, then you'd have an excuse to buy another one!

Hey Tommi!
If you haven't tried oiling it that might help. Another option is that swiss army guarantees their knives for life. Any thing wrong, including stuff like broken blades from extreme use, they fix for no charge. All you pay is the postage to get it there, they cover postage back to you. Let me know if you want me to track down that info. By the way, what model do you have?
