Still, could've just included one of those tiny extra cheap screwdrivers that usually come with ikea products

Leave it in the kitchen to handle all the other handles that need tightening

Or the inevitable cabinet handle or knob that comes loose. I keep one in my kitchen just for that cause my OCD can't stand any of those fuckers being loose

If you run into this issue that frequently... use loctite?

Gtfo out of here with your "proper solutions to common problems"
Although, just having a screwdriver around is a pretty free solution.
TheLumpyMailMan t1_j1ue2fu wrote
Yea probably a good idea
Abject-Picture t1_j1uh6vb wrote
If you catch it soon enough you usually just have to spin the knob to the right to tighten it back up, screwdriver not needed.
At least that's what my ocd learned.

It usually just spins for me caus the actual hole in the wood of the cabinet is stripped and doesn't hold it tight anymore. My OCD already tried it lmao

I always tape them to the bottom of the desk or whatever it was they came in.

They could also not give you a driver at all, seems they made a choice

Glad they did, that's the easiest value ad for me lol

It’s the screwdriver that will ultimately always be used, even though it’s not the best one you own. Sometimes because you feel funny using a “good” screwdriver to assemble something cheap, or to open up a battery compartment real quick, or to make one little adjustment on something. Sometimes because this one was the first one you saw (likely because it’s always on top) and at the end of the day, it gets the job done, so it does every job.
It will never sit in a tool belt, but will never sit on the bench either.
Also, side note, do yourself a favor and rub the black nubs off the handle into the garbage as soon as they’re ready to go, before they decide to do it themselves and end up everywhere.

It's not the screwdriver we deserve right now, but it's the screwdriver we need. So he'll be there. Waiting for the day to screw anything he can.

You have screwdrivers that you think are too good to be used for their intended purpose?
Andire OP t1_j1rof31 wrote
Ngl, I have shit screw drivers I use for dumb shit like opening paint cans cuz I never seem to have a fuckin opener when I need one lol
TheFirebyrd t1_j1s4o6f wrote
That’s pretty universal, I think. There’s definitely a paint-splattered flat head screwdriver at my house.

In that case, the pan manufacturer should put their logo on the screwdriver.

Those end up in a landfill, maybe the hope is that the buyer will keep this one. I probably would
Andire OP t1_j1r2xfd wrote
Definitely keeping it! Lol

Maybe the pan company partnered with a famous screwdriver company and it's cross promotion? This is only one, now OP has to go buy the rest!
Or throw it in the toolbox with a the other mismatched screwdrivers like I do.

That generally gets thrown out pretty quick after use. At least I assume that's what this company was going for maybe.

They could have just written on box SCREWDRIVER NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY
ripvannwinkler t1_j1tw49c wrote
Or just an allen key with a phillips bit on one end.

I'm sure they just bought the cheapest bulk swestshop-made screwdrivers they could find at that moment
