Don’t you hate not having the right tools on hand? When such a time arises, you have to improvise in order to get the job done. This can make one feel much like MacGuyver, unless you just mess things up. This is why it’s good to have a lot of multitools around. Tools that serve one primary function, but in a pinch, can be used for something else. Take these Neji-saurus Screw Pliers, for instance.
At first glance, you wouldn’t think that these were anything more than an ordinary pair of pliers. However, upon closer inspection you’ll see the special grooves that allow it to grip ordinary screws. This is great for those times when a screw head has become stripped out, and you need to get it out using another method. The grooves are cut both vertically, and horizontally, so you can get the best grip possible. They might seem a tad more expensive than your ordinary pliers, but $30 isn’t a bad price to pay for such a tool as this.

I love my neji-saurus pliers….very good quality & really innovative (I see the above is USA-centric, so if you live in europe, you can source them here http://www.precisionhandtools.co.uk/screw-pliers/… )
