Just had some belated Christmas presents for my children and had top open a battery compartment on a toy which was held shut with a philips screw. My Explorer
was on the coffee table so I started to use it and it wasn't working too well due to the size of the small screw.Got out my Micra which dealt with the screw no
problem. Result-2 happy twins and 1 happy Micra owner!

... does this mean your explorer lacks a mini screwdriver?

One that would fit in the recessed hole!

Yeah, I think his Explorer is lacking in that department. :/

Sounds like you need a Cybertool

Seriously tho I really need to get me a Micra one of these days. Handy little guys.

Fair play, the Phillips on the Explorer really is to large for the type of screws you normally find on battery covers. The one I always go for is the Phillips on the end of the Vic 58mm combo tool (as found on the Rally, Rambler, Mini-Champ etc) that really does seem made to measure.

Good job with the Micra though, being able to deal with all these little tasks with almost no effort is why i think most of us carry a multitool of some kind. I can well imagine the drama if you hadn't been able to get the toy working.
