Aw, you need to make it more sophisticated and use additional 
tools.     Tim Allen had the right idea; simple is too easy.

Life must be HARD, so that we can all adhere to our Nietzschean ideals.


You need the ratchet, the extension, the swivel, the socket, and a 
screwdriver...  always have to have a screwdriver.   And, a hammer 
handle.   Maybe a band-aid.   And a small can of Go-Jo and a 
rag.   It all makes you look like you're prepared, and that you know 
what you're doing, when viewed by the passers-by who will be checking 
you out.
