Jerrold Security Tool

Post by Killswitch »

Just for the record - if this tool EVER shows up at a Home Depot in the Commonwealth of PA , I'll grab this NY Yankees ballcap (hate that F* ing team) and pull out the utensils like knife and fork and sit down in the dining room to a dinner table. Gonna need some hot sauce for seasoning - gonna be tough and stringy and hard to digest. Whew! We're out around the Asteroid Belt on this one! God Bless! No gravity out here. Cool to be lightweight. Goodday!

if i still had the receipt id post it.

Junction EARTH!...come back to it, since you think youre above it.
If i go back to frys Ill post a pic.
What your talking about is a 5/32 metric Nut driver. Yes it will do the Job But not the Correct tool and in many cases will just strip the Screw. The proper screwdriver will look like the inverted Tork and Home Depot does not cary them.
Closest I have seen is in Granger.

Take a Look at What the real tool looks Like.

Take a Picture of the one you said to have found in Home Depot. I bet It looks Nothing like the real Driver.

this tool PERFECTLY removes screws
If it works why should i buy online and wait.
If op wants the tool right away this will work if op wants to wait then he can order the one online. Afterall this is for OP. This tool works for me. And will work for most.
And if that one doesnt work then the frys game bit screwdriver set will work for sure either way its up to the individual on what he wants to do and spend his money on.
i have done these with out a single strip of the screw. Catches the screw perfectly and is not loose. Give it a shot. Or not.

I didn't say it would not work. Only Its Not the correct Driver. But Hey. If it works for you then Thats what Matters. Just Accept that Home Depot does Not carry that Tool Nor Frys For that Matter.
You can open a can with a Knife , That doesn't mean the knife is the proper tool for the job. :-D

These are ScrewDrivers, Not the Cheap GameBits Found On Line. ;)

I can confirm that one..man the one capone sent me is awesome...beats the hell outa me grabbing the head of the screws with a pair of plyers and twisting..lol..i think capone felt so damn sorry for me, either that or it even hurt him just listening to me that he felt compelled to send me the proper tool..either way it works great, will NEVER strip..built very heavy duty:D

Also there buddy the game bit driver was ALREADY brought up in this thread if you would have read it after decideding to post in an already long dead thread:!:
