[BC] Equipment Hall Of Fame

[Bob Tarsio]

I am envious of anyone who has a Fry's Electronics nearby! I have visited
two of them, one in Missouri City near Houston Texas and Downers Grove,
Illinois near Chicago. On both occasions we were doing projects in those
cities. Forget Radio Shack! These guys have everything even if you forgot
your scope, soldering iron, tools, washing machine, PC, software, ...!

The  Xcelite  "Greenie",  Redie and Bluey,  the  three gave you two slotted 
and the blue phillips.

I was in Fryes in  Atlanta on Friday and noticed they have a blister pack of

all three  screwdrivers for $7.95.

This is a bargin.!!!!  I have seen Xcelite  "greenies" priced at $4.95 in 
stores.



Dave:
 
I have had poor experience with the greenie, having used them for as long
as 
they have been on the market.
 
Extron provides a "tweaker" with each of their products and I am sure they  
will send you one if requested.

The new "tweaker," has a hardened steel shank and tip that will take a lot  
more abuse than the greenies ever would. the tip is narrower which make is 
great  for "tweaking sub mini controls etc, yet still remove stuck screws in

Switchcraft A3M or A3F's! The shank is removable and has a phillips on the
other  
end. Still fits in your pocket protector!
