Someone who? Someone from the SGFH ? You won't find any of that kind of help
from this crowd. More likely, we'll be discussing where you could buy more of
them at a gloatable price.
 
1) There was a workshop legend that the "tighten-only" ratchet screwdrivers were
for Undertakers.  Once the coffin lid is screwed on, the Undertaker never needs
to unscrew them !  (Has been discussed on the Porch many times.)
 
2) My pet hate is finding one of these beauties BENT because Denny Dimwit used
it to pry something. DOH !!!
 
3) There are mother lodes.  Years ago, a friend was at a hardware store Going
Out of Business Sale, and had the presence of mind to cop the compartmented box
of Yankee bits and accessories.  (No, you can't buy any of them!)  Keep this in
mind the next time a local hardware finds that resistance to the Borg is futile.
