Following up on the square drive thread and kind of sailing related.
Just coincidentally, as part of a house wide renovation, I am changing out electrical switches and receptacles today. I am using a regular 8 way screwdriver with small slotted blade to remove the old switches and receptacles. However, the new switches and receptacles have the combination slotted/Phillips/square drive screws. I find the square drive works better. I am using a Klein 32477 10 in 1 screwdriver. It has #1 and #2 square drives in addition to slotted, Phillips, Torx bits. This screwdriver is my "go to" tool that I keep in my boat electrical box. Once I finish the install, I will check each receptacle with a polarity tester. For the sailing related note, every boat with shore power installed should have a polarity tester on board. If you don't have one installed with your breaker panel, you can get one for under $10 at any hardware or big box home improvement center. I've had marine surveyors tell me they would accept one in place of a hard wired tester. Dennis C.
