I've got to have a computer somewhere within reach or at least accessible within a resonable amount of time. Regardless of the problem, I can find all sorts of solutions to fix it through friends (that I've never met in person), web sites (run by people I have never heard of) or real people I know (that I can send an e-mail to so they can come fix it). And if the answer is not there, at least I'll be distracted by shiny things to keep me occupied so that I no longer care. It's the ONE and ONLY thing that you absolutely have to have... Well, except for one of <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkgeek.com%2Fgadgets%2Ftools%2F6b3b%2F">these</A> to help with it... And some of <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkgeek.com%2Fpcmods%2Fcables%2F62ec%2F">these</A> to keep all of those cables out of the way...

Better than those wimpy snap-off blade things. They'll snap on you at the worst possible moment, blade flying through the air into your eyeball. If the extra blades store in the handle, you've probably got something better than a snappy utility knife. Keep it.<br />And just try to pull one of those snappy knife blades out of the handle to use alone, for paint scraping, say. You'll bleed. Stanley blades are perfect for this.<br /><br />Cable ties, wire ties, tie wrap, zip ties, zip strips... It helps to know all the names people use for these things, because half of them don't know what you mean when you ask them to hand you one. Good addition to the list! Anything that can be used to mend a fence AND handcuff a rioter is a good tool in my book.<br />I've seen people try to cut off the protruding end by sawing all the way through with a utility knife. Too much trouble, and you'll lose a thumb one day. Just score one side with the blade and bend. It'll snap right off.Galoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595801134445834942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769313.post-1087401084628661282004-06-16T08:51:00.000-07:002004-06-16T08:51:00.000-07:00What aboot "cable ties", also known as a "tie wrap...What aboot "cable ties", also known as a "tie wrap"?<br />I ask for them for Christmas, they are so wonderful.<br /><br />http://jwproducts.co.uk/ptdties.gifarsifoofoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593274715893354019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769313.post-1087374337347655882004-06-16T01:25:00.000-07:002004-06-16T01:25:00.000-07:00The only one I think you missed is the Stanley Kn...The only one I think you missed is the <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.officedepot.com%2Fpictures%2Fsk%2Fmd%2F300703_sk_md.jpg"> Stanley Knife </A>But I'm glad to see someone other than me uses dental floss that way.<br /><br />Dragon60Dragon60https://www.blogger.com/profile/04899448899507914332noreply@blogger.com
