Title: For the haters ...
Post by: theonew on October 04, 2016, 07:41:36 PM: There seems to be overwhelming hate for the phillips driver on the CrossGrip and I do understand it. But on the other hand, I kind of find it ingenious in a way. Though it is not easy to use, primarily because it doesn't stay open in a rigid position, it is functional. As proof, I decided to remove an old telephone jack that I had installed in the 90s when we were using faxes and dial-up modems. Was it the best tool for the job, hardly. But it did get the job done :tu:

That's what a good MT is all about right? :salute: Nice pics, it makes me sad that my CrossCut doesn't have one. :(

That is my take as well :cheers:

I see a CrossCut in my future very soon.

Good job theonew :salute:

But when things are complicated and require many steps and lots of concentration, having the proper tools lowers the stress level tremendously :)

...but I'm a hater still... :)
They didn't think this through at all.
I don't think that the guy who made that has ever used a phillips driver in his life.
