Husbands can be so very thoughtful. It also means he LISTENS to you.

This looks great. DH was talking about going to Harbor Freight for a vise. I'll have to go with to see if I can find one of these.

Great idea. Just what I need to remove the cover for my bobbin carrier. The screw driver that came with the machine is a little too tall. Besides that, I bent it trying to tightened the screw in my presser foot adaptor so that it won't work loose, and I really can't manage those "stubbies" that I ordered.

I ordered some really small screw drivers and they are tiny and hard to work with, but these look better. I wonder if I can get them online. I've never seen a Harbor Freight store in my life.

If you are concerned about the magnet there is another screwdriver you can get.....got to the hardware dept. and
ask for an offset screwdriver they come in differant sizes...they look like this ...think of a line about 4 inches long
that would be the middle....then there is a line on one end facing up (that is a screw driver...about 1/4 inch....on the
other end is a line facing down (that would be another screw driver.....they work great....before working in digital switching I worked in mechanical switching....used these all the time & keep 2 different ones in my sewing machine drawer...always...

I was wondering about that too.

Looks like a good screwdriver. I've been wanting a shorter one and this would work great. Will have to stop at Harbor Freight Next time we are in town.
