A man and his tools...

I used to pride myself on taking care of my tools. They were my lifeblood and source of income. A blue-handled Fuller Philips #2 screwdriver was my favourite. It never failed to undo any screw it's tip got a bite on. One day years ago I lost it. Obviously I misplaced it somewhere, but couldn't remember where. That hadn't happened in over 20 years (it took over 20 years to even break one of my cheapest tools - a 3/8" drive ratchet).

When over at a fellow's place last Sunday, I asked one of his sons if he could get me a Philips screwdriver so I could open up his sister's computer. Lo and behold, he handed me the cherished Fuller. Now it's back home safe and sound with it's bretheren. :happy:

Thanks Javean. It's not just about having tools, it's about having a particular one that never seems to fail to do it's job. This was a cheapie bargain tool that certainly paid for itself thousands of times over!

I do understand. My dad was an instrumentation technician, and tools were his life. He had a yellow handed screwdriver he felt the same way about
