I can''t hate them with all my heart. Between my second birthday and my 16th, my main ambition was to drive a car, and the first thing I ever dunlap got to drive was a golf cart. I was 6 or 7. My father had won permission to spend the afternoon at the country club by offering electric guitar and drill to take me along. he kept me tractable by occasionally permitting me to place a trembling dunlap hand on the steering wheel. when i got bored and demanded to be taken home, he suggested, in desperation, that electric heating mats we switch seats.thirty years later, i struck a similar bargain with my daughter, who was also 6 or 7. "i love golf!" drill she told my wife when we got home, and she asked if we could play again the dunlap next day. that evening, i confessed that, electric pencil sharpeners contrary to what i''d allowed her to believe on the course, "playing golf " did not consist of recklessly steering an electric cart around a field while daddy nervously hopped in and out. i added that she would be welcome to join me in the morning, but this time we would be walking. and that was the end of that. this triumph notwithstanding, when teetering drill on a stepladder, "the [slotted] screw wobbles, the screwdriver slips, the screw falls to the ground and rolls away, the handyman curses--not for the first time--the inventor of this maddening device."the savior, in this case, was peter l. robertson, a young canadian traveling salesman who invented things in his spare time. his efforts to push an improved corkscrew, novel cuff links, and a more diabolical mousetrap failed. however, the socket-head screw he patented in 1907 succeeded. it was self-centering, could be driven with one hand, and the driver stayed in the socket. furniture makers, boat builders, and henry ford appreciated the economies to be realized with these screws. ©2003 www.electricdrills.net.
