History Of The Screwdriver

[Tobra]

Screwdriver leads to Harvey Wallbanger, which leads to I have this stuff, what else is it good for, and you end up with a gold cadillac, very tasty, can confirm

I didn't read the thread but wondered which came first, orange juice or vodka?
Also, did it mention the next generation: a Harvey Wallbanger?

I thought it was in the U.S. constitution that you had to use a flat screw head?

There is a special section in Hades for flat head screwdrivers with stripped screws.

Since they lost the war, JIS screws are a way for the Japanese to get a bit of revenge. A set of vessel JIS screwdrivers is $pendy, but JIS bits are available and are semi reasonably priced.

(edit) However, if you work on Japanese bikes a lot, you might as well bite the bullet...

(another edit) I firmly believe that design engineers and tool makers are in cahoots to force mechanics into buying new tools. Hey, conspiracy theories can be true.

Was fixing the back deck last year. The carpenter used a bucket of leftovers making the thing. I ran into standards, Phillips, torx, hex, square and some other screw types I never identified.

**** that guy. May he burn in hell.
