All Holes Must Be Filled

A famous French existentialist once reasoned that "All holes must be filled."   If true, then the same probably applies to slots.  Like the slots on Crumby's Minathor.

It's true.  The regular Wenger Minathor comes with only eight tiny tools.  But the holder for the tiny tools has 12 slots.  Which means that four of the slots come empty or virginal.

Many may recall that four is Crumby's magic number.  From which comes the famous saying, that's four for the Crumby Ovate. So Crumby was not surprised by the opportunity to fill the four empty slots afforded by his purchase of the Minathor.

But Crumby needed to decide which particular tiny tools would need to go in the four empty slots.  Crumby also needed to figure out which tiny tools for the Minathor are extant.   Yet the only place Crumby found a good selection of Minathor tiny tools is Otto Frei online.  Not only does Otto Frei carry the full complement of Minathor replacement tiny tools and the Bergeron tiny tool Complement Set, he also has a general assortment of tiny tools that fit the slots and the tiny tool handle.  Goodness!

Crumby chose the following tiny tools for his Minathor's slots:  1, 1.5, 2mm pin punches, and 2mm Phillps and standard screwdrivers.  Hmm.  Those good at ciphering will espy that the total we are now discussing is five, not four.  So Crumby has one too many tiny tools relative to the slots available.  Crumby had to order five tools because the minimum order at Otto's is $15 excluding postage.   So that niggling annoyance accounts for the fifth tiny tool purchased with no slot available.

Here's a picture of one side of the tiny tool holder with all slots filled.
