You know, this might be a good topic for a new thread...."What Is Your Favorite Tool?" You run with that, Denny!

My favorite tool is without doubt an old X-Cell brand screwdriver that is approximately 2 ft. long. I've owned it near forty years now. It has a 'straight point' (flat tip) that is about 1/2" wide, and the long shank leading down to that tip is probably about 7/16" square in shape, just right to get a wrench on if necessary. And the handle is a big, 'manly' yellow-grooved plastic for a good grip, and it has a carry-through metal flat on the end of the handle making it fit to hammer on. It'll undo any screw that is "undo-able", and it makes one hell of a prybar, even though I have a variety of dedicated pry bars. This screw driver just works and feels great doing many jobs. DD
