Stop screwing around!

Why is it that when you look for tools your can never find them, the only screwdriver your can find is a philips head when you're looking for a flat.
Now this may not seem strange to you, but when you have previously gone to great lengths to ensure that these items are kept in the correct place, you have to ask yourself : Have the gremlins opened a road side workshop using my stash of tools??? and who the hell left a stethascope in the tool box??
I hope the party was really that good, or else some doctor is using the soldering iron to repair some patient who's circuitry needs repair. Dude, come back, you forgot the solder???

  • Ahhh... screwdrivers. If I'd invented the world on my own, there's one thing I definitely would not have thought of - making the tips of screwdrivers magnetic. It's pure genius! Subatomic particles and wheels and peppadews and post-its, I'd have come up with all of them - but magnetic screwdrivers, never. Sigh.

  • Ah yes, the good old heel and knife method.

    Works like a charm. Even better than the real thing. Or so I'm told. ;)

  • Aaah, so many knives of mine have been broken for just such reasons!

    But there is little that a well-placed kick or slap cannot react well to.

  • Peas - sounds like you should just leave these DIY tasks to 3rm and his sunflower oil.

    Champs - 'well-placed kick or slap'. U R doing this to the item needing repair or to the handyman repairing it??

  • SACRILEGE....I'd never use such a cute pair of heels for something so manual...
