Duplicate Screwdrivers
Jan 16, 2021 11:52:05 #
I've mentioned before how I tend to have duplicates of things. I decided to clean out my tool cabinet, so I removed the screwdrivers - just the slotted ones. I brought them inside and cleaned them while I was watching TV. I went through 100 screwdrivers, and that doesn't count the ones in various toolboxes. Many of these date back to when I was a kid.
Maybe I'll clean the Phillips screwdrivers tomorrow.
Before I put them back, I'll sort through them and put only the best ones back into the drawer. Looking online, I found lots of uses for old screwdrivers. Knock the metal part out, and use the handle for a file; sharpen the end to form an awl or a small scraper, etc.

No!! He's multi-tasking. Dealing with the screwdrivers while watching TV--something he most likely would have been doing anyway. I have to tip my hat to anyone who can find things to stay occupied until the Covid lock-downs are a thing of the past. And relative to the latter--let me just say how fortunate I feel today given that I received my first vaccine dose yesterday. I got Moderna (was hoping for Pfizer with shorter interval between doses) so in another month or so--after second dose--I may be able to face the world again. In the meanwhile, let's all stay safe.

Well, it wasn't difficult because of the spreadsheet. (Only kidding!

It wasn't as easy as it sounds. I was watching a Spanish film, so I had to read the closed captions.

Yes, I thought the actual number would make it more interesting than just saying "a lot." I'll try not to keep you in suspense with the Phillips.

I've probably got a 100 or so of various heads. Trouble is, I don't know where 90 of them are.

And that why we need 100!
Some day, I'll count my electric drills.

Keep the ones you inherited , remember who used them before you. I have a lot of old tools, some too old to use.

Gee, Jerry - how many awls do you need? I suspect that you must already have a dozen or so!
