Rough start. Can you replace the guitar string with a fine washer? I sharpened up my awl as well. The awl is way too useful to leave dull. Hope the rest of the challenge goes smoothly!
I may not understand exactly what is involved here. But, if it's working for you, fantastic!
Day 2We're visiting my Mom for the weekend. A couple of weeks ago she mistakenly bought a set of headband magnifier instead of a headlamp, and I told her that I'll take the magnifier and promised her a proper headlamp in exchange. So, my old headlamp needed new batteries. At first I thought, oh well, the Rebar will fail at the very first task in this challlenge, and I have to use some other tool's driver, but surprisingly, the Philips driver fit the screws perfectly. Job done.

That's why it's my old headlamp and happy to give it away... But for Mom's needs it will be just fine.

I always magnetize the drivers on my tools have a fun challenge, the Rebar is awesome!

Day 3Only been at Mom's for an hour and the Rebar already had something to do. Mom cleaned the upholstery on the armchairs, but she was not able to put back the armrest/frame solidly. I tightened the nuts on the bottom with the pliers and switched the screws on the armrest to longer, more secure ones with the Philips driver. The long shank of the driver came in handy because of the recessed screws. I think I couldn't have done this task with a Wave or my Juice's short Philips driver.Mom asked if it's my 'wonder tool' again - indeed it is!
