Are they sure that's a flat phillips screwdriver? It looks like a flat reed-prince screwdriver. Snark aside, I've always wanted a tool that could tighten screws to finger tight!
Dave, you snarky bastard, have you ever tried to replace a screw in your eyeglasses with your fingers? It's not a freaking power tool, it's an emergency, I'm stuck in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, and I need a little help. Oh wait, let me break out my freaking Craftsman drill-driver that I carry in my motherfucking fanny pack.
That IS cool, easy carrying tooleage used in everyday materials, a lot to like. Thanks for posting it.
Angel, I understand your frustration, having desperate need for a tool in an emergency like that. Every one of my SAK that have a corkscrew have that eyeglass bit tool - you just never know!
It does resemble a Reed-Prince! I'm thinking order a couple and just clip them onto any cord that's on a pack or what not. Maybe on my left earlobe, I'm clever that way... And sexy
Taminator, a trolley key is for over in the UK and Europe. To use a shopping cart (trolley) at the grocery store you need to use a 1£ or 1€ coin to unlock the trolley to use it. When you finish shopping and return it to the cart area and chain it to the rest of the carts, you get your coin back.
Thank you Anon 3:24 for that information, I was also wondering what a trolley key was as well. So in essence, the cart user rents the cart but gets their money back - whats the point ? If I wanted to steal that cart, that amount of money sounds like a worthy loss to me.
I guess that is neither here or there - thanks again for the explanation.
Here in Oz, it is just an incentive to return the cart rather than leave it for someone to drive into.
A lot of people can't be bothered over $1, so senior citizens have taken to trolling the car-park for abandoned trolleys, and returning them for the cash.

ReplyDeleteI like the "cutter". :p
ReplyDeleteOkay, I suppose it does have a use. But how do you find that tiny screw and drive it home without having your glasses on? Even I can't do that. ;)
