Gulliver’s Toolbox
I keep a small box of miniature tools. Once upon a time they were used constantly, but my days of tinkering with hardware using tools measured in nanometers are behind me. Please, somebody must find these useful.
Now for a highly technical list of what you get (left-to-right):
- Repair kit for eyeglasses.
- Phillips-head screwdriver.
- Flat-head screwdriver.
- Threaded pointy screwdriver thingy.
- Stab-ready mini ice pick?
- Slanted flat-head screwdriver.
- Extremely tiny flat-head screwdriver.
- Another phillips-head screwdriver.
- Boxcutter for opening tiny boxes, or giving some nasty papercuts in a prison shankfest.
- Adjustable wrench.
- Handle for the remaining tools.
- A third phillips-head.
- A second threaded thingy.
- Another stabbing implement.
- A third flat-head.
- A hammer, making this a regular home patellar reflex kit!
Update: The IT department at work took the screwdrivers. The virtually blind Delman has snagged the eyeglass repair kit.
