My mom refused to let me "torture" a screwdriver or the hacksaw - so I used a hammer and a big nail.
I found 4-5 peanut worms, I thought I only had one in there... Numerous fanworms, some didn't survive the "breakup". I concentrated on the area with the most slime trails and finally found the worm in a tiny corner. It is about an inch long, I was positive it was bigger... Hopefully it was the only worm but I have my doubts...

They like soda that much?

Torture a screwdriver HAHA, thats hellarious. Me, being a Electrician, don't think I own a screwdrver that I havn't beat on. Usually using my pliers as the directional impact device

My stepdad uses delicate screwdrivers to fix computers, but still refuses to let me use the bigger/sturdier ones.
My Mom claims if screwdrivers were meant to to be hammered into a rock, they would have promoted that use in some commercial or another. (come to think of it, I don't think I have ever seen a screwdriver commercial...)

You should have heard her the day my guppy bit her, I thought my fish keeping days were over...

LOL, No offence, But you should take mom out to a construction site LOL

Every tool has more than one use :D

This is why I have my good tools, and my beat up tools. Every tool ends up in the beat up pile eventually, and the good tools get refreshed when necessary. :D

No need to go farther than the kitchen, I never knew kitchen utensils had so many uses... I left the room when she tried to open a can with a butchering knife (we do own 3 working can openers!).

I saw "Madico" take a tile saw and zip a rock. He then took a screwdriver and it split easily
