Hey Team!  Here's your Hot Tip o' the Day!

This is pretty obvious, but I wanted to share it anyway.

I have been doing a lot of trimming lately, and I was getting pretty
frustrated with the screwdriver constantly slipping off those little brass
slotted screws.  So, finally, I got so fed up that I decided to do something
about it, and it works pretty well.

Just take a small piece of heat-shrink tubing, cut to exactly the length of
the shaft of your favorite trimming screwdriver (one of those little
jeweler's ones), slip it on, shrink it, and voila!  It will never slip off
another trimmer screw.  Plus, it's pretty easy to slip the tubing on and off
if you need to use the screwdriver for other things.
