Not that it's a bad thing to get a new tool :-)

Leaving the screw in but loosening it may work. If I do that, though, I
will deprive myself of a new tool. There could be a time in the future
when loosening the screw will not work and I'll need the tool. Plus,
with inevitable inflation, the tool could cost a lot more next year, so
I need to get it this year. (Ignore that I have not needed one in the
last fifty years.)

nope tool prices may fall with the new factory opening on the island
of datlya. the islanders are thrilled to make 3 cents a day.

perfect to export into the US
