I got tired of trying to remove tiny screws that were made of quality material with a substandard and often short-lived flat tip screwdriver. Here's a 15 minute project that will pay dividends for years to come.
Pick yourself up a couple of lengths and different diameters of drill rod. It's tough....and durable.
On a knife grinder wheel radius or using a dremel tool, just form the size you need, polish up a bit and press/pound into your handle material...in this case a piece of ironwood from the bottom of my scrap box.
I use the drill rod to make custom Glock tools for Christmas and birthday gifts for my fellow 2nd Amendment supporters.
Take care and be safe during this Memorial Day weekend. If you drive past a flag that's faded, tattered and torn, taking its last breath in someone's yard....stop and ask them if they would like you to replace it for them. That usually lights a small fire underneath and moves them to action. Sometimes. I've purchased and given away maybe 10 flags to replace those in distress over the past 6 years and for the sheer joy that it brings, it's worth it.
Hooah!
