I feel confident about the quality of the construction of the piece of furniture this was sent with.
It’s just for my 300 foot zipline for babies
Then it doesn’t need much strength. Just duct tape some rope to the buildings or trees, or whatever, and zip them straight over.
I thought they said clothes line. Like how else are you going to dry out your babies? You monsters put them in the machine or something?
Most likely, the tools are manufactured by a third party and just dumped into the mix, so it’s not as direct a problem as it seems.
And the lack of quality control is concerning.
So close
Yet so far
In end…
It doesn’t even matter
It’s for left-handed people.
It’s for people that have the hands at the other end of their arms.
I’d cut the diagram out and mount it in a frame alongside the tool. It’s excellent.
I went to a friend’s house where her great auntie had mounted a clothes peg in a frame because the orientation of the spring over the wooden arm was the opposite to any she had seen before. And I’m clearly still thinking about it now, some 15 years later.
Good art makes you feel something. Great art changes you for life.
As someone with a set of the common tools, I hate how everything comes with shitty tools, just adding more weight and waste. Like even fucking replacement batteries for console controllers came with a little screwdriver.
And I bet it’s all because of those shitty customers that complain about stupid shit like “I don’t have the correct tools to use this thing I ordered” and enabling managers that bend over backwards instead of just saying “go to your hardware store and buy a fucking tool” or “look in a mirror” and hanging up on them.
Like how do you even function as a competent adult without some basic tools? Do you just accept that this door with a loose hinge is a pain to close? That this knob or handle just wobbles? That the handle on that shitty pot or pan might just come off as you try to lift the boiling water or even hotter oil inside it, or are pots and pans just too complicated in the first place?
Or is that why people have so many financial issues because the moment something needs some maintenance, it’s time to call someone or toss it into the trash and buy a new one?
I used to be young, and when I was i thought “wow, why would I need tools? A drill? Freaking useless. My dad has one of those?!”
So I have two drills now, 5 or 6 computer kits and am in the process of looking for a good standing toolbox I can trust. Wild how I took a 180 on that thought process.
Yep.
Go from “Fuck, why would I need these tools”
to “WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY TOOLS?!”
Lol yeah, I went from not knowing why they sell those drill sets that come with more than one drill to being happy I bought one of those sets with two drills, in addition to the corded drill that got through my stone counter when I needed to add a faucet. I’ve even retired the first cheap drill I got when I didn’t understand why some drills costed so much.
And the toolbox my dad got me when I was a teenager is still in my front closet, though it’s been demoted to hardware box, since I didn’t have the heart to get rid of it when my tool collection outgrew it.
I don’t use them super often, but often enough that they are easy to get to. And they get put away, other than the tape measure, so I never have to search for them.

Looks good to me, boss.
Great work!
True spirit of ‘fix it in documentation’
There’s also this fix
And these other breaks.
It’s for corner screws.
The Japanese says “plus driver”, which is a better name than “phillips head screwdriver” imo.
Japan typically uses JIS over Phillips though, right?

It is said, “There’s always an xkcd.” But in fact, there are always multiple xkcds. :)
Yeah flat-bottomed polygons are the best. The ONLY exception is flatheads, which should only ever be used on surfaces prone to repainting, because you can scrape paint out pretty easily.
flat-bottomed polygons make the world go round?
I want to ride my tricycle
Hell, we call it something like “star head screwdriver” and still everyone knows what it means (no, don’t bring up more than 4 apexes (apices)). Imagine moving to a random country and they recommend you to buy an Intel layout keyboard or a Sony audio socket.
Sorry, I’m gonna. Where I live if people call something star head they’re talking about Torx.
Fair enough, that could also be seen as a star. By “everyone knows what it means” I meant people in my country - I didn’t try to suggest everyone else would, as well. But either way, star head still narrows it down less poorly than Philips does (to people who don’t immediately know).
Yay! A reason to bust out the angle grinder! :D
Or a proper screwdriver, although I can see how your proposal is more fun
Oh wow, my eyes suck. I thought it was some kind of weird nail lol.
You can only use this nail with the Hammer of T4or, when you quest in the valley of the time before Quality Control.
For when you have an angle grinder but not a Philips #2.
🤣 I thought that damn thing was a weird triangle nail?
Which could be easily made with an angle grinder.
It wasn’t until a keener-eyed commenter pointed out, then I realized the fucking Phillips head.
Didja at least give it a try?
This is a circle head screw driver. Sweeping the nation.
Ah, a safety screwdriver. Finally a protection against stripped screw heads. Good thinking.
Congrats, you unlocked hard mode!
