I'm not sure how this works, but it's much easier to turn a screw with a long screwdriver than a short one. As modellers, we tend to have little tools like the yellow-handled screwdriver on the right, but a recent couple of buys of much longer shafted tools doesn't half make life eaiser.
We all have long screwdrivers of course, but not ones with tiny flat blades (this might just be me, but it's my blog etc...) and you can't fit a fat blade into the sort of screws that hold a Peco point motor on to the baseboard.
The other advanage of the longer tool is it gets your hand out of the underside of the baseboard, and allows for a fatter handle to grip. All good.
So, last-minute Crimbo present buying advice, get your modelling freinds bigger screwdrivers. You know they won't get around to buying them themselves!
