This is my afore-mentioned screw-ball. It was a Stocking-stuffer Christmas present from my grandparents several years ago, and it is one of the most useful little tools I have ever owned. It has two phillips, two flat, two hex, and two star ends which makes it very useful. I have used it to install a mirowave/range hood, an oven, a cooktop, and other appliances, (For a short time I was helping to install appliances for my company).
The screw-ball does not set off metal detecor at the county courthouse. I learned this becuase the first time I went into the courthouse I took my keys out and put them on a tray, and they said that I could not bring the SB in there, somthething about not allowing tools (moronic) so I hid it in some bushes and came back for it later, luckily it was still there. The next time I was on errand to the courthouse I decided to just leave it in my pocket and see what happened...and nothing did, no alarms went off, no pat down, etc., so didn't have to stash it in the bushes. Anyhow, it just leads me to believe that the people running things are none too bright.
I suppose if you had all of the tools sticking out of it, and threw it at someone, it might do some damage, but I dont think you could hijack a courthouse with it.

Hey, I did that once. I was down at the courthouse and I had a little nail file and clipper set in my purse (containing small 1 metal nail file, a small pair of nail clippers, a floral print buffer and a pair of tweezers.) For some reason they thought this was totally dangerous. So, I too, stashed it in the bushes and retreived it later. Luckily it was still there too. Neato.
that is so cool...i have to get one for myself! =)
I just like the fact that you hid something in the bushes. You are a man of principles.
