A flat blade screwdriver head. The sides have been filed down so it’s only as wide as the shaft.

   I got a screwdriver and a good shop to recommend. This is a small local hardware store, one guy there. I ask for a narrow flat blade screwdriver and he shows me what they have on the rack. I find a 3/16” that looks it would work, but it has the usual trapezoidal head. I measure it and it’s almost exactly 1/4”, so I’m not sure it’ll fit.

   “You could just grind that off,” he offers.

   “Yeah, but I don’t have a grinder.”

   “Oh, you can use ours.”

   “Really!?”

   “Yeah, sure.”

   “Then I’ll take it!”

   He rings me up, then leads me back to the grinder and lets me loose. Screwdriver worked great. :)

   So if you need some tool help on the north side of Chicago, go to Andersonville Hardware. I’ll definitely be back.
