Victorinox mini screwdriver and grooved corkscrew

Now that Crumby is collecting Swiss Army knives (saks).  (He has three already).  Crumby wanted to upgrade his saks to include the mini screwdriver feature.  One of Crumby's collection already featured a mini screwdriver so Crumby needed two mini screwdrivers for the balance of his burgeoning collection. So Crumby ordered two more from an EBAY vendor.  This particular vendor offered maybe the best deal on the mini screwdriver.  But Crumby felt like he got screwed anyway.  Yet, when it comes to hobbies, cost, as we all know, may not enter in.

Crumby's twain Explorers are the saks that needed mini screwdrivers.  As noted previously, one of these twain is an older Explorer from the mid 70s that features a grooved corkscrew.  And sure enough, the mini screwdrivers fit the Explorer with the ungrooved corkscrew, but not the one with the grooved corkscrew.  

At first Crumby thought the grooved corkscrew might be afflicted with cork, preventing the mini screwdriver from going in, as is shown in the picture presented for everyone's consideration below.  But that's not so. Even after Crumby cleaned the grooved corkscrew with a tiny eye brow brush, thus getting shut of all the cork, the mini screwdrivers would not fit.  

The moral is, the mini screwdrivers don't work with at least one, four turn, grooved corkscrew.  So beware!




Another thing!  It's not like Crumby doesn't have enough to worry about, just considering the twain issues, poor health and the Cow Barn falling down around his ears. Yet what is the likelihood of a particular individual similar to Crumby removing a mini screwdriver from a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine, then forgetting to put the mini screwdriver back.  Anon, the mini screwdriver, forgotten, loses itself somewhere upon our tiny, yet wide planet, Earth, and is never seen again, alas.  Another reason to only purchase wine with screw caps.
