We got a new set of screwdrivers a few weeks ago in the metalshop. I noticed one already had the tip broken off, this can only happen by using it as a prybar.
Using a screwdriver as a prybar is not normal wear and tear, or an accident.
Handtools are provided as a convienience, the rest of us shouldn’t have to pay for your abuse. My first thought after seeing the brand new, but useless screwdriver was to lockup a complete set of tools to maintain metalshop equipment.
Whoever broke this screwdriver needs to replace it, came from Home Depot.
If its not replaced by next metalshop meeting a month from now we will have a discussion on what tools we need to maintain the equipment that will be locked, and what tools are needed to use the metalshop.
