Among the most valuable things you will know about tools is
to use a grindstone on every one of your screwdrivers. Strictly speaking, of
course, a screwdriver is not sharpened the least bit— it should be really dull.
In fact, you can encounter more grief using a screwdriver that is improperly
formed than with any other tool. If your screw driver ends are already rounded
in its edges you will witness tools that act like grasshoppers. Such a tool
could jump out of a screw, dig into the piece of fine-finished wood you are
working with, and may in fact, drive you utterly mad. Having a good
screwdriver, correctly shaped, you are able to easily drive home a screw that
matches it without much gamble of its slipping out of the slot and ruining your
work. Screwdrivers are ground on an emery wheel or grindstone to achieve their
right shape. The edge must be made straight across the end and the faces close
to the ends parallel or almost parallel to one another. This is needed to
prevent the screwdriver from slipping.
