A screwdriver is your friend...
Try going to the repeater site leaving your tools at home. It only takes one
stubborn screw to drive you nuts. Fortunately, friends took pity on my
stupidity and brought my tools to the bottom of the hill. 10 seconds and the
proper tool and life was good. A screw driver can be a major time saver!
I won't say I will never do that again but I hope it does not happen. Not to
mention my friend that was driving needs to carry tools in his truck!
