Juice Scavanger Hunt
on: May 08, 2008, 09:35:25 PM
Ok, so I love the Juice series and the KF4 is one of my all time favorites. But... of course there are picky little points that bother me from time to time. Lately I've been wondering if there are any screws in the world that the "medium" flat driver will fit better than the "large" or "eyeglass" drivers. The problem is that the "large" is really a medium sized driver, and I have yet to find a non-eyeglass sized screw it doesn't fit. So the "medium" has been a waste of space expcept as a scraper/pry tool.

So has anyone ever stumbled upon a screw that needs the "medium" Juice driver? Please help me end my quest. ::)

Not me. :( 

To be honest, I seldom encounter flathead screws anymore. My flat blade screwdrivers get used mostly for prying not screwing.
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

There's a dirty joke in there somewhere... but I must be too tired to figure it out at the moment... :D

If you post the width in millimeters I bet you I can find a proper sized fastener at work tomorrow. Looks of slotted screws in my @100 year old place of employment.

So, basically in short you are agreeing with my dislike of multiple flatheads on the same tool? :D

I've been tempted to try sharpening it into a chisel or something to try and add some real functionality to what I have always seen as a waste of a tool.

Leave the dents as they are- let your belongings show their scars as proudly as you do yours.

My biggest (in fact maybe my only) gripe with the Juice range are the tools in the handles.

As NeitherExtreme points out, the flat-heads in there seem a bit uninspired, but also, why do you only get the same selection of flathead screwdrivers in all models, from the cheapest all the way up to the most expensive?

Looking closely at say, the Juice PRO, the extra depth of the handles is completely filled by spacers, surely LM could have thought of something to put in there?
I used to come here a lot.

Yeah, I rarely see any flat head screws anymore either.. But, I really like having the flat heads just in case!

Well, on the Juice series, I am agreeing. I don't mind if there's a Large, Medium, and Small (eyeglass), but on the Juice theres a Medium, Mini-medium, and Small.  :P I'd be real interested to see any mod's you attempt. I'd sugest modding the mini-medium since the others seem much more usefull.
