Best $10 you'll ever spend. If you know a tool guy, one of these is a great
stocking stuffer. Like you said, you only need it about once every 1.5
years, but when you do, nothing else will work. If you keep it in the nice
little metal box it comes in, it always looks like new. It does take a
while to learn how to use it, though. And that is to use it FIRST, before
you strip the head off that bolt. One or two smacks, and you're done. Same
for setting a bolt. A couple of smacks, and it's there.

Also, it should be pointed out that the tool should be set to twist in
the correct direction before applying it, so you don't tighten the screw
or bolt instead of loosening it. (Sounds stupid, but don't ask me how I
know this ...)

Okay, I won't ask. But I know you live in Berkeley.
