The $8 jeweler's screwdriver that ended my spring clamp obsession
Last month I spent 3 hours fighting a stuck shutter plate with my usual spread of spring clamps and needle nose pliers, then my buddy in Denver handed me this cheap screwdriver set with hollow ground bits and the whole job took 15 minutes. I used to think holding pressure was the whole game, but now I realize the right tool fit does the work, anyone else find a random cheap tool that changed their whole bench setup?

Man, that feeling when you finally find the right tool for a job you've been fighting for hours, it's like a weight lifts off your shoulders. I had a similar moment with a cheap little offset ratcheting wrench, thought it was gimmicky but now it lives in my top drawer and saves me all the time on tight spaces. It's funny how we get stuck in our ways with the tools we already own, not realizing the grip or the angle is what's actually slowing us down. Good on your buddy for putting you onto that set, sometimes the random cheap stuff really does punch way above its weight.
