Get off my lawn!

Maybe the valve adjustment feeler gauge. Not because it is a bad tool, if I am using it, I am doing a very non-favorite hated job of valve adjustment.

Counterclockwise?

Grease gun for sure and slotted screws.
I thought Mericans loved their slotted screws and felt the Canadian Robertson's were stupid?

The Stick

Adjustable wrenches. Grew up calling them Cresent wrenches, quickly started calling them knuckle busters.
Several years ago was given a nice 400 pcs "Cresent" tool set. The only thing in the set that did not have "Cresent" on it was the adjustable wrench!

Newer electrical receptacles and breakers actually have square/phillips combined heads, and I much prefer the square head.

Metal snips. I cut myself and create jagged undulations at the same time.

The "Robertson" screw lost out to the phillips head screw in the USA and rest of the world, while Canada seems to be odd man out with the Robertson. But you do see Robertson bits in just about every driver kit, so they do seem to be catching on for sure.

The flat head has the torque at the outside, but there are only two points of contact, and it is very susceptible to cam-out with deflection angle.
The phillips has four points for strength and alignment, but the rounded ends are also susceptible to cam-out deflection. The torx square profile seems to have solved all the above. The Robertson only has torque in the center, and a square shape is not far away from a circle..

 Haven't used it in decades and it worked fine back then, but ever since it's been a PITA. Tangles up and snags everything in the tool box, always needs to be re-coiled or whatever you call it, and that's a pain because it doesn't have the fancy sliding handle the new ones have. I'd throw it away tomorrow but I know if I did I'd need it next week. I think I'll go out in the garage and zip-tie the bastage. That'll do it. |

Japanese is JIS...
Good luck finding screwdrivers for those, nobody makes them any more. What they call a JIS screwdriver is really just a Phillips nowadays... That said, Vessel makes pretty good screwdrivers. If you want a better flat screwdriver, buy gunsmith screwdrivers. |

I researched JIS screwdrivers and found nobody makes them, as they don't want to pay for adhering to the JIS standards. Lot's of people sell what they refer to as the JIS screwdrivers, yet if you read the fine print, they are not.
Have a look at any "JIS" screwdriver. If it has any radius at all in between the points, it's a Phillips. JIS screwdrivers should have sharp, square corners there. That said, I like the Vessel Impacta series and the ones they make with interchangeable bits. Some of their drivers work better with JIS than others, especially their #1 and #2 sizes. Looking for JIS? Caveat emptor, baby... Read this, along with the embedded links: https://www.webbikeworld.com/hozan-jis-screwdrivers-review/ Last edited by javadog; 05-05-2020 at 09:57 AM.. |

These days, it's a good thing that the fastener always breaks before it strips out.
