What is your favourite tool? - 09/08/2022 14:11
At that vital moment today a tiny black self-tapping screw jumped out of a hole, bounced on the sill of the car and threw itself onto the drive. Huffing and puffing, looking around, trying to work out where it could have gone, couldn't find it. Didn't want to use a not-quite-the-same-you-know-it-will-either-fall-out-or-butcher-the-hole one. Thought of a tool I'd bought a while back*, wafted it around, sighed at my stupidity, shoved it under the lavender bushes a bit, threw it under the car, half-heartedly moved it around the bricks right in front of my nose a bit more, lifted it up, and ... the screw was actually on it!
What's your favourite tool?
(* I bought it, searching for the very cheapest strong magnet and rope option on eBay, to fish a rather good 3/8 ratchet out of the bottom of a 4500 litre water tank. It's tiny but can allegedly hold onto 14kg.)
