Bill, you are an echo from the past. After 50 some years of teaching people how
to use tools,
yup I started in 7th grade shop class, my least favorite situation is when
someone spouts off with your premise and I think, “Here we go again.”
There have been times I used a 3 foot long screwdriver to remove or install a
screw. Never because I needed more leverage. More reach certainly but never
leverage.
That’s what a pipe wrench on the shank is for.
