This is probably painfully obvious to a seasoned handyman or mechanic, but based on an informal survey of friends &amp; family it seems we\u2019ve all been getting by with a multi-bit screwdriver or a set with standard shanks. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that per se, but over the years I\u2019ve run into a surprising number of situations where narrow diameter openings and\/or deeply recessed screws precluded the use of my usual screwdriver.<\/p>\n<p>Some recent examples include repairing an old solid wood dresser, removing unneeded shelves from my freezer, and removing a car door panel to replace a window regulator. I\u2019m sure Cool Tools readers can name other times they\u2019ve been thwarted by a screwdriver that just won\u2019t fit.<\/p>\n<p>Save yourself a last-minute trip to the hardware store by stocking an appropriate screwdriver in advance. I own<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/felo\"> this model from German brand Felo<\/a>. It features a comfortable, anti-roll handle and a hardened tip. The latter is important because a prematurely worn-out tip will necessitate replacing the whole screwdriver. At roughly 12-inches overall it fits in any toolbox or can easily be hanged on a pegboard. Despite being made in Germany it\u2019s only marginally more expensive than knock-off brands; I\u2019ll gladly spend a few extra bucks for a quality tool for life. You likely won\u2019t need it often, but when you do you\u2019ll certainly be glad to have it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smooth seamless handle for maximum comfort<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1449],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37171"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37171"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37173,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37171\/revisions\/37173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
