Originally I got the tool for Sleeving PC cables but as I got into sleeving cables I learned how to do it with paracord and hide the ends so I stopped using heatshrink on em as much.

No video, Theres videos out there on how to do it but trust me when I say its not worth the effort. Maybe if you were building a high end $4000+ gaming PC that was as much for show as it was for use but now a days you can buy the wires pre-sleeved. I made those cables all from scratch. Took bare wire, crimped on the ends, sleeved the wire, and plugged the ends in to the connectors. After mapping out the wire lay out of a pre-existing cable. Oh and then hand stitched them so the cables would stay flat and not bunch up. Theres a couple of specialty tools you need for the sleeving and stuff too.

The power cable wasn't paracord though. Its not big enough. lol
I never thought of using paranoid. That is slick looking! 👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah, you basically gut the paracord and use the outter sleeving. much better feel than the plastic based wire sleeving material.
I love Paracord!

Those are so cool!
........but, you Sir, are still a nerd!

😸
I embrace my nerdom whole heartedly :)
 
Broadhead remover. Three blades on one side, four blades on the other.
Oh, I didn't even see the sides were different. Great guess. Is it right? I will have to share some tools here and see if you guys can guess 😉

Edit, yep, Tunedpipe for the win. Ok, who knows what these are for...

Not sure if its right or not but definitely looks like what I used to use to remove broadheads. They are very sharp razor blades and you need a remover.

EDIT: I just looked it up and I am correct. I was very into archery years ago so I thought that's what it is.
