I have one I love that I keep at work. The difference is it has a regular handle and each "bit" is actually a full length screwdriver blade that twists into the handle. I've had it for probably 20 years. Never been able to find another one. It all fits into a 2 inch square box.

That's why I set up my race box like this. A place for everything and everything in it's place.

I like dirt.

This is the screwdriver set I mentioned above. It was a stocking stuffer from MomHawk probably 30 years ago. I've taken a lot of computers apart with it.

TIL the FBI secretly modified and sold encrypted phones on the black market to criminals using the program to spy on and stop many large crimes from drug trafficking to hits.

Same could happen with a solar flare.

TIL a new term “Negging”. ("to neg", meaning "negative feedback")
It is the act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or passive-aggressive remark to another person to undermine their confidence and attempt to engender in them a need for the manipulator's approval.

The book The Game by Neil Strauss dives heavily into it.

True, but after a solar flare, the tools could be put back on the magnetic strip.

But, after the magnetic strip gets wet, the magnetism is destroyed (so I heard from a man on the Internet) -
