   Hi Jean,   
      
    HG> The last type is actually flat screw driver bits with a cut in   
    HG> the middle for a center pin on the screw.   
      
   JP>	I had to use them recently on a Krups expresso maker, first time !   
   JP>They would discourage the average tinkerer.   
      
   Just a few months ago I threw away a steam iron because I didn't have   
   the screwdriver bit to open the thing. The mains cable entering the iron   
   had developed a short at the entrance. That was the only fault.   
      
   Asking around, nobody had a suitable bit and new irons were so cheap   
   that I fell for the temptation.   
      
   JP>  We have had it easy here, I am still on my first tank of snowblower   
   JP>fuel. +3ø C for tomorrow and rain.   
      
   Winter came early here. It started on nov 18th and since then we haven't   
   seen what's under the white cover. Now it's really cold.   
      
   Yesterday morning it was -17ø & today -19.5øC on our 2:nd floor balcony.   
   The sun is however doing its job so yesterday midday it was -10øC.   
   Today it came up to 17.5øC.   
      
   JP>	Have a great 7-day weekend.   
      
   Same to you for a 7-day week.
