So that explains why when i opened a set of lovely brand spanking new
expensive screwdrivers, the manufacturer had so kindly enclosed a note "TOOL
NOT TO BE INSERTED IN THE EAR". I guess it is a sign of the times that
manufacturers are having to do this crazy sort of legal protection for
themselves. Soon we won't be able to buy tools!
