101 mis-uses for a GS

[Tin basher]

The much abused GS Screwdriver for what tasks is it just the thing. Opening tins, towing arm pin, Chisel. Any other uses other than as a screwdriver for the all purpose tool?

Turned round it makes an effective hammer

Fcuk me, you can use this yellow handled wonder as a screwdriver?

A punch, drift, chisel, pointy at people who p1ss you off thingy, weapon, can opener, lock wire breaker, line scriber, crowbar, bash stubborn screws undone jobby, pipe widener, paint scraper, tyre letting down device yes, but a screwdriver? Thats just plain mad.

LOL a GS and a hammer , us trusty riggers favourite tools

The GS is like the swiss army knife and I think people should be issued with em , Tashy says bouncing em hehehe yeah the new ones not as good at that now , and somebody mentioned PRC remover , too bloody right

Brilliant device and the air force would be screwed without them ?

So all hail the GS and lets pay homage to a great tool _o_

 

[Sospan]

Every good toolkit should have a GS that has been fractured at the end so it looks like some kind of medieval torture device.

Nah; he used a Philips and a 1lb BP hammer.

My GS is very handy when dealing with tricky things on aerial masts in addition to very old, large screws in doors.

 

[burglar]

used one for an earth spike on see-ins in RAFG!

 

[Scaley brat]

The GS was over rated. Now a real multi purpose tool was the pump action ratchet screwdriver..... excellent for making lightening holes in Aircraft skins ! DT_Xtremez_31:

Personally my favourite multi purpose tool was the six inch scriber, scraper, spreader, deburrer, screwdriver, lever, shim, drift, rivet tail checking piece of steel with numbers on so you could measure things too ! DT_Xtremez_30:
What a clever little toy that was.
