To go with the left-handed hammer
I've got a special two handed hammer. For really tight screws.

Obviously I was wrong .... the simplest way must involve a large number of superconducting magnets to create a contra-rotating field that if tuned to a precise frequency will release the bolt with a left-handed screwing action.

Did this the other day no need for flux capacitors or even photon torpedos i cut a slot in the bolt head with a dremmel and used a plain screwdriver to remove it was not tight.

Yeah that seems a good starting point if only someone else had thought of it earlier :smt002

Now about my left handed trapped stud do o need a right handed drill and bit or would a neutral one do? :smt003

.... so in one post he not only "comes out" but admits to imprisoning a sex slave.

Do you have a right handed one as well or is this left handed thing a key part of your world of perversion?

Definitely ever since Mrs Gorbet used to chastise me for being a child of Satan for writing left handed

Still she did me a favour really as when I lost the use of my left hand side I was able to switch to to the right ... See something else we may have in common apart from the best coloured Falco :smt008

So just to confirm Andy.
If I want to do the same, just where do I get a
left handed F-ING DREMEL-TYPE-THING ??
:smt017 :smt017 :smt017

I already have the dual handed slotted screwdriver, so no problem there!

Or. Just as a theory, I don't expect this to be possible. Get one of those Dremel type thingy's, cut a slot in the top and undo it with a flat head screw driver. A left handed one of course. When cutting, don't forget to catch the sparks.. Save up enough and you'll be able to weigh them in down the scrap yard. :smt002
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Impact driver & lump hammer. It'll make a slot all by itself.

But would that be a left or right handed impact driver?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I'm going to try this at the weekend if I can find my f-ing dremel-type-thing. :smt003
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

Just as an interesting aside .... well, possibly mildly interesting .... most of you know I work for a Japanese company and have a good number of Japanese friends.

I quite like the Japanese method of referring to the different types of screwdriver:
  • A cross-head screwdriver is a + (or plus) screwdriver
    A flat-blade screwdriver is a - (or minus) screwdriver
