The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Exactly, this whole article is stupid and I kinda like the little fasteners.
I'll buy a set of these screwdrivers for $10 and put them in my speciality tool drawer and call it a day.
No problems here.
You shouldn't have to?
From the standpoint of anybody reasonably handy, we all know we can buy tools. Any time I see a discarded or abused tool I'll salvage it just because I know I can grind or channel out the head to make custom drivers. That's not the problem.
It's that the company is going to use this as a play to illegally monopolize and stifle competition.
