RANT : How about including a Goddamn SCREWDRIVER w each gun ?

[CaseHardened]

How many times have you F*CKED UP a Screw Head Slot, while trying to clean or adjust your favorite toy ?

Would it really bust a manufacturer's balls to include a SCREWDRIVER or two ?

In ye olden days, at least, many DID include tools. S&W included.

But given reality, I love GRACE TOOLS - Made in USA.

I refuse to deal with any set that has interchangeable BITS that fit into a Single Handle.

When working on a fine firearm, I totally have enough shit going on without one of those pieces of crap coming apart mid-stream !!

I don't need some crappy giveaway screwdriver.

If you don't have the correct tools to do the job, you probably shouldn't be messing with it.

The screwdrivers they used to INCLUDE (not "give away") - FIT. Which is my point.

I'm likin' your contribution - for effort.

But those kits are so inadequate - so sad - it pains me to admit I own a few.

Here you go. This one fits every screw ever made!

 

[Eddie Gunks]

Yeah. I am Confused.

You are saying your screw driver sets do not have a driver that fits the screws you are trying to strip?

Why not buy a bigger/better set?

I have yet to meet a screw i dont have a driver for.

I have fucked up my share of screw heads, but it is usually do to cheap screws etc etc.

I keep a few sets of the Harbor Freight freebies around so I can grind tips as I need them. No more stripped flatheads.

Why would you need a screwdriver to take apart your gun? I'm confused.

Once upon a time, guns were made of metal and were held together with screws. There are still a few of those old relics floating around.

Get a good set of gun smith screw drivers. The tips are made for gun screws.

My guns require an assortment of screws including ones I make or modify. That set from Brownells fills the bill. Nothing like spending a couple hundred hours making a rifle and during final assembly you bollux screw heads because the screwdriver is wrong for the slot.

Never buy a cheap tool unless you know your going to throw it away or hardly ever use it.

This is my issue, cheap ass screws.
It doesnt matter how nice your screwdriver is or if it fits, cheap screws will strip anyways.
What is the pirpose of cheap screws? Saving 29 cents per 10,000 screws?
Screw the cheap screw makers!!

Buy gunsmithing screwdrivers or high quality screwdrivers . The tips are ground properly most cheapo slot type driver are tapered to the point good ones will have a hollow grind to them so the tip fits correctly in the screw head and didn't strip out on tight screws.

The biggest reason they don't include screwdrivers now is because if they did gun makers would have to include an instruction manual printed in 16 languages...

Every job is an excuse to buy new tools. It's written on your man card.

This reminds me to find my missing set of gunsmith screwdrivers. It was given to me by my grandfather way back when.
I packed it away for safe keeping so nothing would go missing or get used by anyone else for any BS projects and I'll be damned if I can remember where I hid it.

In the old days I would not buy any used bikes that had buggered up screw heads. It was a sure sign that Attilla the Mechanic had worked on the engine.

Owning and properly using quality well-fitted screwdrivers is a skill.

I’m a cheap screw, just ask my wife
