I just got a like to this post so I thought I would update... I was recently doing a bit of smithing at our clubhouse and shot a rebound spring across the room while trying to manhandle it without any good tooling. I still haven’t found that @$#*&# spring! Maybe I’ll have to stick to using my Schmidt tool or the special bit from my screwdriver blade set.
