In twenty plus years in the field, I've never seen anyone use handscrews on a regular basis. Everyone owns a few, but I think it's just to create an old timey atmosphere around the shop.
Hey Johnny ,stop by my shop and I will show you all the stuff they are good for.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out, but unless they have free shipping, any sale benefit disappears with travel costs since Woodcraft is all the way up in Allentown PA.
