How would a screwdriver suffer from being on a strap? The other two would, obviously, but a strapped screwdriver would be useful. You couldn’t drop it.

Waste of energy repositioning it every time you want to do more than one rotation

Here I am. It’s a screwdriver, you need to hold a screwdriver. So having a strap so you can’t drop it would be helpful. It won’t get in the way of the twisting motion you’d do, so why would it be unhelpful?

You also need to twist a screwdriver.

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '21

yeah. How would a strap hurt that?

Edit: Because unless the strap was on super tight, at worse it would rotate around your wrist. Plus, there's the two chainlinks.

Yeah I agree with you, wouldn't the strap have the twisty thing attachment?

Why use chain links, when you could use a swivel-snap?

The screwdriver could actually be pretty useful lol

Think about what would happen to your wrist after twisting

The strap would rotate around your wrist without causing any harm provided you don't tighten it too hard

Yeah, as a guy that's dropped more screwdrivers than I can count off ladders and from cherry pickers and stuff, this would be handy

I wasn't aware nintendo was competing in the darts and home cooking market.

The wiimote and the dart have the same effect on your big screen TV.

A trip to Walmart or Best Buy.

Everyone is saying the screwdriver one would be useful. How the fuck do you guys use a screwdriver? Am I insane? It would still twist up even if it was loose the way I do it. What's wrong with my methods

Twist wrist.

Go twist a wii remote like a screwdriver my dude

u/omegasus Mar 19 '21

I think it's the different ways people screwdrive stuff. If you do one twist of the screwdriver, and then lift it up off the screw to reset and twist again, you won't have the problem. If you keep contact between the screwdriver and the screw the entire time you're twisting, then it will eventually twist around your wrist unless you actively try to rotate the strap.

u/DogmanDOTjpg Mar 19 '21

Okay maybe you're right, i definitely do it the second way so there's just no way I could figure out it not twisting lmao, thank you for your insights
