CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 24-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A very large pry bar
that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end opposite
the handle.
TROUBLE LIGHT: The home mechanic's own tanning booth.
Sometimes called a drop light, it is a good source of vitamin D, "the sunshine
vitamin, " which is not otherwise found under cars at night. Health
benefits aside, its main purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about
the same rate that 105mm howitzer shells might be used during, say, the first
few hours of the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark than light, its name
is somewhat misleading.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum
seals under lids And for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing
oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip
out Phillips screw heads. Women excel at using this tool.
