Cunning. Now I just need to need to screw in some cuphooks.

Its a bit of a useless bit really,particulary when it comes to putting the hooks near to a flat side panel...you cant turn the darn thing as the panels in the way.

Who makes these gimmicks anyway? got to be a white collar worker whos never handled a tool in their life.

Nothing to do with cup hooks, skyhooks or ballhooks (sic).

It's a Wing Nut Driver. No, dear, that's not Gary Lineker's chauffeur.

Just found a picture of it on the sleeve of a box of bits bought some time ago from Aldi or Lidl (must have been, it's in English and German).

Also for eye screws.

Splendid! My German isn't wonderful but I got the idea of most of them. I reckon my favourite's DIN890.
