Patty needing a cork screw? I can't imagine why?

I use my ratcheting screwdriver alot around the house. For cars (Honda at least) you can't do much without a 10mm.

For general purposes give me a butter knife - you can use it as a screw driver, hammer, pry bar, scraper, and even butter bread with it

so many tools,
so little time....
It's not unusual for me to buy the right tool for the job.

One of slickest tools I bought was a Bosch flush cut saw,


lets you get into those really tight cuts.
one of those rare tools that I just couldn't figure out another way to do it without using this.

I always carry at least one swiss army knife, a little one on my keychain and a fuller featured one in my pocket.

I gave my big one to #2 son when we dropped him at school.

Well, a butter knife is good for screws, but you really need a coffee mug for a hammer! With those two together you can conquer!
