WC> Me neither but I very strongly suggest you obtain the

I've discovered that many hardware stores around here (in Mich)
are selling a brand "MIT" of screwdriver at very low prices of
$2-3 each. They look 'cheap' from a distance with clear handles
with blue painted stripes down them but are really quite well
made of chrome-vandium steel and properly ground on the ends.
At those prices I can get the proper tool(s) if need be. :-)
