Whats the problem with a screwdriver?

I expect some pillock slipped and cut themselves and then sued. The
instruction about screwdrivers is to prevent a repeat, not a real
directive.

That looks like a crude version of the smooth, rounded tyre lever that I

too thin - had to use a plastic stirrer on one because metal was deforming
the side of the can where it touched.
