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?

Does anyone have one? Know someone that has one? It might drive my two cats up the their cat trees all day though.

I DO Want that hammer...

I had one of those vacuums. notice the word had. My puppy decided it was something to attack and kill. And kill it she did LOL

Everyone who ever wanted to be Batman needs one of those grappling hooks *eyebrow waggle* Gryph was practically salivating--I didn't dare play the video! lol!

I'mOneToo · 11-14-2009, 06:26 PM

ah Warrick this knife has *sentimental value* a gift from someone, and if it was lost another wouldn't be the same.
(but I'd still need another one!)

It's easy to operate Tommi, just pull on the side where the little dips are. Unless it's a full-size unit, that I can't help you with. The oil, yeah, what Warrick said.

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

Darth Denkay · 11-14-2009, 10:15 PM

Hi I'mOneToo,

I do understand about sentimental value. Most of the knives in my collection could be replaced, but, similar to you, there are a few that couldn't be.But ah, I do love my knives!

Wow, and I thought I was long-winded...

Seriously though, true story. My girlfriend and I were going to a fundraiser event that formal, so we were all dressed to the 9s. We're walking toward the building and the other femme (not my girlfriend) stumbles and loses her shoe. One of the straps had torn from the sole. Swiss army knife to the rescue! I pulled out my pin and repaired her show. Truly she had to cautious as it certainly wasn't a permanent fix but it got her through the night!

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

I know you want to talk about tools and all, but I'd like to take this into the kitchen for a minute. My favorite gadget was a giveaway from the Welcome Wagon, over twenty years ago. It's about the size of a spatula, but it's made like a flat slotted spoon with an edge that catches on the egde of a pot. So, you can easily drain vegetables and pasta without having to worry about a colander. It's uncomplicated, and one of my favorite things in the kitchen.

christie · 11-17-2009, 10:44 AM

Oh - if we are talkin house gadgets, I must say that I think Jess loves the Food Saver vacuum sealer thingy more than I do. One week right after I bought it, I came home and everything in the fridge was vac-u-sealed! I told the boyz (our two mini schnauzers) that they best hide or Daddy would have them zipped up tight!

Jess · 11-17-2009, 06:51 PM

I love the sealer thingy!!!! hereeeeeee kitty kitty

Kitchen gadgets are a huge turn on for me and usually the simpler the better. I started using my Braun "wand" mixer for mixing glazes when I used to dabble with pottery and now have one that is devoted to stirring paint that lives on the tool shelf. Nothing beats one of those for mixing up a fresh vinaigrette.

I went to the garage and grabbed my cordless drill and stuck one of the beaters in the tip. Talk about torque.

They were the fluffiest potatoes I've have ever had.

LMAO! That is awesome! I may have to put some beaters in the tool box.. or a drill in the kitchen drawer!
