lefthanded or righthanded screwdrivers?

My screwdrivers are all left handed, but I do have two full sets- metric and English.

I spent Saturday cleaning out the wife's half of the garage.  Now she can park inside again.  I hope to be parking inside by the time the snows hit.  I'm currently trying to figure out if an addition will be easier than a cleanout.

Emotional or Financial?

I'm experimenting with an alternative method.  Finishing projects!  It sounds so simple but it's NOT.  Has anyone else tried this method of garage reclaymation?

[vdubnut62]

No , I never "Finish"anything it seems, always a little more tweaking to be done. My problem is that I am a packrat, pure and simple.
When I do get rid of something, I ALWAYS need it later! Case in point, my daughter has found an old RCA console stereo missing a turntable....Yes she IS a little strange..wonder where that comes from
a few years ago I threw one away and now I'm catching the Devil for it....................
See? No way to win!
Aw the hell with it! Who needs to see my garage floor anyway?

I recently had that problem - then it took me a couple of hours to find the broom and dustpan!

What - no Whitworth screwdrivers?!?!?!?!?

[vdubnut62]

I was looking through my drewscriver collection the other day ............. just what the hell is a Reed-Prince used on?
Ron

[mobile_bob]

it was an evil twin or alternative to the phillips drive, looks enough like a phillips on first glance, but
will wreck a phillips screw head if used.

i don't know if i have ever seen a reed prince in metal working applications, but have seen them used in woodworking
or wood screws.

generally they make nice scribes or prybars

and you guys think you have problems...
You should be imagining me standing on the corner of our country road holding a sign that says "will do lab instrumentation work for food" sign...

Crumpite

That's funny.  You don't have to be that specialized though.  Presuming there will be power interruptions when TSHTF then I'll bet you'd get fatter if the sign read, "Will set flashing VCR and other clocks for food".   

[LowGear]

What's a VCR?

What's a VCR?

OK smartypants, then.. NASA DSN employees standing out by the freeway near Goldstone, CA with signs saying, "Will continue to track Pioneer 10 for food".   

[mike90045]

What's a VCR?

Isn't it something like a gramophone for movies ?  I just got some of my stuff from the storage pods, into containers (I own them now, no rental)  and found 3 cartons of OTA recordings of U-matic Star Trek (original series)  Need to find a  player for them now... if the tape still works as tape, not glue

[miket]

Reading all this, I was feeling pretty smug about my own superiority... then I went out to the shop and tripped over a big stack of Live Steam magazines and landed on a  box of new rigid media for the swamp cooler.

Oh well! Never mind!

[Crumpite]

Wow, you actually cool your swamps over there ?

We'd try that out here, but I'm sure the mosquitoes, black fly's and  gnats would plug up the works of any cooler.

Lucky bum !

Cool swamps, what will they think of next ?
