A Troublesome Toolkit

Posted by

There's a Lowe's down the street – a dangerous location, being so close to home. Tools! Tools! TOOLS! We were in there for thirteen hours the other night (half of that time was spent in the power tools aisle). I own so many random tools, so I decided to pick up one of those fancy all-in-one toolkits. I wound up with a Black & Decker behemoth – with a cordless drill, plenty of bits, measuring tape, etc. It was pretty pricey, but I figured I could trust the name. Not so much, apparently. The toolkit's plastic molding wasn't designed very well. I sliced open a finger trying to pry the level out of its tight place, and no matter what I do, the crecent wrench never wants to stay put. The tools work well enough on their own, so I'm not quite ready to return the toolkit. Screwdrivers, hammers, etc. – they're all the same. I almost feel like a tool for getting a toolkit.
