screwdrivers

[Cliff_Johns]

I find screwdrivers frusterating. When I need a phillips, all I can find are flat and vice-versa.

What's more, I can't toss a screwdriver even when it's munged up (technical term) or bent.

I think I shall make a special box for screwdrivers too dammaged to keep and put it on a shelf.

I have more than 90 screwdrivers including phillips, flat, torx and square-drive. At least that's how many I was able to collect today.

The first step is acknowledging you have a problem..

I have sons, so I have no trouble with tools accumulating. They gave me a sticker for the refrigerator that states, "He who has a full set of tools has no children."

The good part is that now they have their own sons; didn't seem to help my problem much though.

No you still have a problem as bearhawk has said it the cause has changed!:thumbsup:

Now it's you lay them down and can't remember where! It's the CRS syndrom! :laughing:

:laughing: I bet there is a "groop" for it too!!

Looking at Cliffs photo ,I think I recognize some of those tools:laughing: I have probably lost or found more screw drivers than I have bought!

I have a bit of both.:laughing:

When my father in law was alive, we would sit down about once a year and work up a pretty large order for Harbor Freight. He knew he had a bad case of CRS and knew they would disappear, actually had it all of his life as it was a constant source of amusement for his employees. He did a lot of service calls and someone was always dropping by his business and returning coats and tools he had left at their homes.

For several years after his passing, I would run across tools, coats etc. that he had left somewhere on the farms. One thing is for sure, he never worse a tool out in his life.

I sure do miss him, he was a really good friend.

Lets start here. It's not a 'Phillips'. It's a Reed & Prince actually....

Screwdrivers aren't supposed to be used as pry bars. Thats why pry bars are made and sold.... If you took the time to learn to correctly dress a flat blade, half your issues would be gone along with not using them for prying things.....

I have the same problem. The last few years I've bought a bunch of the ones that a have a reversible bit, one end straight and one end phillips, and then the shaft also reverses so you have another (different size) straight and phillips. As a bonus, it also servers as 3 nut-driver sizes where the bits and shaft pull apart.

I try to keep one of these anywhere I may need a screwdriver, but of course they don't stay, often several winding up in the same place. Also they won't work where you need a long thin blade, but they really do help me out.

When I was in college it was my adult drink of choice. Now I can't stand the taste of OJ. :laughing:

Gosh, 5030, that seems a bit harsh. I've actually never used a screwdriver as a pry and I've never bent one. I've acquired them that way from other people.

I have good screwdrivers, I just have a lot of others too. This post was intended as humor. I do know how to properly use and take care of my tools.
