Take the black plastic cover off. You will see the ferrite core bits. An array of iron rings woven into memory.

Paying the $0.20 they wholesale for instead of the $8 retail price though.

I’d imagine that most manufacturers are making more than the $0.20 these screwdrivers wholesale for…

Harvest the blood and live like a King !! 🥳

If I did my math right, $10,666

Ngl, I have shit screw drivers I use for dumb shit like opening paint cans cuz I never seem to have a fuckin opener when I need one lol

Hell yeah, that's great to hear!

My brain blocked out the tape measure and thought that was a comically small stick of ram

To be faaiirr... The 1974 RAM board has control logic circuitry there, too. The modern RAM is controlled by a part in the system's CPU. You may compare the black shielded section to the modern RAM!

What was the price for 32kb of ram? $5,000?

It's clearly not about price, but about functionality for the user/customer.

Not only does it mean you can tighten the handle when it gets loose, you also get a free useful tool, and the experience of attaching the handle yourself 😄

Better not break that sticker or the warranty will be void!

You have screwdrivers that you think are too good to be used for their intended purpose?

They are "itek" branded. I already threw the rest of the packaging out though, sorry.

Nah, bored and Stimulants

Ok, that's a start. Thanks.

Sure, but he already has this pan.

Honestly no idea, it was a Christmas gift. Knowing who I got it from, it came from a discount store like Ollie's.

And where can I try to purchase this?

Oh boy. Can’t imagine the spice rack or dishwasher protocol. Too many Marie Kondo streams under the belt?

Better yet, buy cookware that's riveted and avoid screws.

Damn, then I'm glad it came with a screwdriver! Lol

>It will never sit in a tool belt, but will never sit on the bench either.

It's not the screwdriver we deserve right now, but it's the screwdriver we need. So he'll be there. Waiting for the day to screw anything he can.

I have that very pan! It’s a wonderful pan. And I got fully screwed. Lol

It’s the screwdriver that will ultimately always be used, even though it’s not the best one you own. Sometimes because you feel funny using a “good” screwdriver to assemble something cheap, or to open up a battery compartment real quick, or to make one little adjustment on something. Sometimes because this one was the first one you saw (likely because it’s always on top) and at the end of the day, it gets the job done, so it does every job.

It will never sit in a tool belt, but will never sit on the bench either.

Also, side note, do yourself a favor and rub the black nubs off the handle into the garbage as soon as they’re ready to go, before they decide to do it themselves and end up everywhere.
