frozen ?

I don't know much about them myself, so I'm not sure. If they can't survive in both, it could be he found it at the mouth of a river on the coast and didn't realize the need for saltwater himself, but I really don't remember the fine details. He was an elementary school teacher I had nearly 20 years ago, so the memory isn't fresh by any means.

Get yourself some high-temp thread locker, friend.

It's there to sucker people like me, and it worked!

You need to think of the savings that happen by being able to ship many more units per pallet/container as well. Why ship air space when you can ship product?

I appreciate the Sheldon approach but always roygbiv. If not .... they come for you.........

Everyone looking at this as a positive thing. I have a pan that looks exactly like that and let me tell you, you’ll be tightening that thing every 2 uses. They gave you one as necessity

Could it be possible it's just dipped to avoid scratching, since they shipped it to use with a finish screw? Maybe I'm projecting too much altruism onto the manufacturer.

Withdraw, my lord: I'll help you to a screwdriver. <3

This was a mid priced Chinese made pan, I believe. Which means they definitely had the room at the margins to throw in a free screwdriver! 😅

Same in Canada.

Lol, you as well!

You know you overpaid for a pan when they can afford to throw in a screwdriver and still turn a profit.

I mean, when you do a job right... 😎

Well that screws my narrative!

Have a Merry anyway!

Damn, double screwed...

damn bro... that's a triple dad joke

The math checks out

It was a regular Phillips head! I thought at first it would be a star head as well, but nope!

Yeah because the slightly bigger box is not only bigger but also means less being shipped, less being stored etc etc.

Glad they did, that's the easiest value ad for me lol

Definitely keeping it! Lol

I did! Only once though. And I'm pretty sure I'll never have to do it again lol

That's great news! I used it last night and it was pretty good!
