A set of screwdrivers and a Swiss army knife... and black tape, that thing's important.

Didn't use it for long, but the fun and learning experience provided were worth the $2 :smilie4:

A Leatherman multitool, a pen and a bunch of papers.

I recently replaced my semi-destroyed screwdriver set with this one.

My only complaint is that the magnet inside the handle could be stronger, but it's still good enough, especially considering the $3 price tag :smilie4:
ah you must be working with watches in some capacity? that looks like a caseback opener.
Who, me? I only do computer repair, but my previous set only had six screwdrivers (three flatheads, three Philips) and I decided I'd pay for an upgrade, rather than just a replacement. Plus, I like plundering magnets from dead hard drives, and those have screws of all shapes and sizes...
I just saw this post now.Quote:

IF a single screw drivers gets whacked, you just replace that one. But in a set, such as yours, if one breaks, you have to buy the entire set again. You see the reasoning behind it?
I've been thinking about my previous reply of the thread, describing a SAK. I did not realize at the time that the SAK is essentially a copy of the knife. If you think about, all the tools included in the SAK resemble a knife, screw driver, corkscrew, nail file, tooth pick. What they've done is to take a single item and break it into smaller and supposedly more specific ones. They make... toys. Toys for the modern man, because when push comes to shove, it won't help, by any means.
Back to the topic, I think at any workplace, you need just two things: a knife and a pencil, depicting ability and intelligence.
I love SAKs. Even the most used tool is always the big knife and rarely use the rest.
