Key = rubbish screwdriver !

[makeitfit]

Just been to get some funny money for the buying of cookies etc
A little shower came my way in a sort of Eeyore style and noticed one of my wipers flapping about So pulled over and prodded about with my ignition key to reinstate the blade to the arm, and then, yep bent key :doh
Had to carefully persuade it flat again, but it wasn't well. So had to get another one cut with a chip in it, bloody hell £45 is a bit steep for a new screwdriver :doh
That's one less sheep on Tuesday night then :lol

it would be more cost effective to keep a few tools in the car mate :thumb2

As Scotty on Star Trek said.... "The right tool for the right job"
You should only use a screw driver for what it was designed to do.
To stir paint.
Lift floor boards.
As a lever to open paint tins.
To remove stones from car tyres.
Hit with a hammer and use as a chisel.
To use in place of a key to open car door locks. :nenau
To short across battery terminals to check for a voltage.
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
Own up....We all have a screwdriver with a burn mark in the side...


Keys should only be used to:
Clean your fingernails.
To open letters, but not bills.
Can also be used to remove stones from car tyres.
Opening plastic retail packaging, saving your teeth.
To use in place of a screw driver to open car door locks. :nenau

The Pozidrive ones are ideal for:
Use 2 with a length of string as a building line.
Use the larger ones as a hand held countersink tool.
Used with a hammer, as a drift to remove rods and cotter pins.
Punching holes in things, leather belts, coke cans when the ring pull breaks.

Always use the correct tool for the job - The nearest one.

I have that many tool kits one in each car, one on the boat, the main one at home and a kit in a trolley that I take if I am fixing things for the family. One is Hardware, ie joinery/ electrical, and another is plumbing, with blow lamp, flux, solder, copper fittings etc and the larger sized spanners.

But if you only have one of a specialist tool that you need, like a screw extractor, Crimp tool, security screw bits, 3 leg puller, ball joint splitter, you have to try and remember where they are..
In the end I made a flywheel puller for the outboard in case I had to work on it. Otherwise you are transporting tools everywhere.

With all those tools about you can not always find the correct sized screwdriver either and end up stripping the head.

I just remembered I need to find my gas powered soldering iron, so I can work on the boat switches.. Is it on the boat or where...? Off to look for it...

Found it, always in the last place you look, I forgot I also have a tool kit with those solder crimps in, normally I would use a blow lamp, I also have one of those "Pencil Gas Torches" brilliant for medium soldering, but watch out where the flame goes...
