Another cool vid M'Lord You look like you were struggling a bit with the can opener and the scales there though. Hot water and the small blade is your friend in this case. I removed some black plus scales for m'dude Mechanickle the other day with hot water and they came off clean as a whistle as we say in the Shires.Keep 'em coming M'Lord!

I've heard of said hot water method, I'll try it next time. Seems like the small blade could be easier to get in there but if I was twisting that hard with a sturdy boy can opener and still struggling, I think the small blade could get damaged or damage the knife and be potentially dangerous...

But, if you're happy with your method then that's the best method M'Lord

I'll know if you didn't!
Great video! I never even knew those flat sided phillips drivers existed, least of all the one with a file on it. I had an astronaut with a can key - I think I found the idea of a split down the middle too weird for my liking. It looked odd - and though I am sure it would not have effected the tool's ability to turn a screw it gave the impression of not being as strong as a regular phillips. Like a fool I sold that astronaut, thinking "there's plenty more where that came from..."
