Showerthought: My electric screwdriver died mid-job on a bathroom cabinet in Lincoln last Tuesday

I was swapping out a busted hinge on a 30 year old vanity when the battery gave out, so I grabbed a butter knife and used it as a manual screwdriver to finish the last four screws, which actually worked fine but left me wondering if anyone else keeps a backup tool in the car for emergencies like that?

A butter knife though... that's actually kind of brilliant but also terrifying.

Wait, hold up - you butter-knifed four screws into a 30 year old vanity and didn't strip a single one? @anna_craig is right, that's both genius and a total risk.
