Conventionally, Swiss army knives or multi-tool setups have been used as cutting tools. However, if one knows how to use these tools in a creative and innovative manner, one can use them in many ways beyond conventional use.
Creative Ways To Use A Multi-tool
A Swiss army knife is also known as a multi-tool, and once you read this blog post, you will come to know of several ways in which a Swiss army knife can be used in creative ways.
Carving Wooden Spoons And Forks
Cutlery made of wood or bamboo is becoming popular today. However, these cutlery can be carved using simple tools, and you do not need to use heavy machines to create great-looking spoons or forks. If you have a multi-tool setup you must choose the sharpest blade that has a pointed edge. You should also be comfortable with the handle of the blade, and then you must start carving by keeping the pointed edge of the blade away from your face so as to avoid any injuries.
Removing Splinters And Broken Glass Pieces
Most multi-tools come with one or more tweezers. Now, these tweezers, if used carefully, can be used to remove splinters, broken glass pieces, or any other object that may have pierced your body. These tweezers are very useful for soldiers or adventure lovers since they get injured by wood chips and broken glass pieces quite frequently.
Opening A Box
Wooden boxes are often tightly packed and used to transport food supplies and other industrial spare parts over long distances. A multi-tool setup is very useful in opening boxes. Some parts of the multi-tool can be used as a lever to help open up boxes. Some packaged boxes have screws that attach the lid of the box to the rest of the box. A multi-tool has different types of screwdrivers and they can be used to unscrew packed boxes.
Removing Staple Pins
Staple pins on paper can be difficult to remove with bare hands. The pins can also prick your skin, so it is best to use the blades of a multi-tool to remove the staple pins.
Sharpening Pencils
The lead head of a pencil becomes blunt after regular use. So, you can use the sharp blades of a multi-tool to sharpen the lead head of a pencil.
Removing Knots On A Rope
Ropes keep getting entangled, and they form knots. The easiest way to get rid of knots is to use some pointed tool from a multi-tool setup.
Final Words
A multi-tool has some primary functions like cutting, filing, chopping, etc., and it is used regularly. Apart from these primary functions, multi-tool setups can be used for secondary uses, like removing a staple pin or carving out cutlery from bamboo or wooden sheets. So, if you have a creative bent of mind, you can use your multi-tool setup in many ways, and hence, buying a multi-tool setup is worth the money.
