Screwdriver

Sometimes we don't understand when enough is enough. How much force should we exert when we try to unscrew something? I guess in most cases our answer would be "as much as we possibly can". And in most cases, the tools are the ones that give up. Case in point, our Ju Tai SCREWDRIVER broke its slotted tip after we tried opening an electric motor. 

The victim of the "force"

Even the toothfairy can't give refunds for these

 
The screwdriver even says that it is made out of "Chrome Vanadium", so maybe it's supposed to be tough. It was such a waste of a perfectly good screwdriver, it had a magnetized tip that was handy for picking up the screws or small bits of metal, and it also had a soft rubber handle that provided a better grip for tough twists. Too bad indeed.

Leave it to "Ze Germans" to get it done

But at least we were able to open the motor with the help of another screwdriver, this time, a Kadris screwdriver, which we don't even remember where or when we purchased.It only says "Hardened Chrome" on the rod and had the brand name and Germany on the hard plastic handle. At least it got the job done.

Best to use some penetrating oil like WD-40 that could help loosen the screws a bit before using "the force" on it. Saves your tools, and doesn't damage or deform your screws!
