Pocket screwdriver is small enough to fit in your...well, you know the rest
By Doug Aamoth
From the "I wish I'd thought of that" department comes the pocket screwdriver. It's basically a coin-shaped doodad that features a beveled edge ranging in thickness from 0.030" to 0.090" as you make your way around the perimeter.
As far as I'm concerned, there are two other certainties in life besides death and taxes.
One is that if you put two cables in the opposite corners of an empty room and left for an hour, when you came back they'd be all tangled together.
The second certainty is that no matter where I leave my favorite screwdriver, it's never there the next time I look for it and I spend exponentially more time looking for it than I do actually screwing or unscrewing the object in question.
I could keep one of these guys in my pocket at all times along with the rest of my coins and I'd save a lot of time, energy, and patience.
Actually, knowing me I'd probably lose it in a vending machine or parking meter. Oh well. It's a cool, simple idea anyway huh?
