  1. Yep. The spikey one is good for starting holes in Conkers.

  2. I miss these mini screwdrivers. I’ve not seen them in a cracker for years.

  3. I once got a tiny sprung tape measure. Very useful.

  5. The handles are brittler than ……….peanut brittle

  6. I have a set of three in a kitchen drawer. Dead useful for opening battery compartments to change the double AA’s. Think I’ve had them about 15 years now!

  8. Still have mine after 20 years! Very useful for tiddly screws!

  9. Useful for opening battery compartments in childrens toys.

  10. I’m due a new set but it’s the luck of the draw.

  11. Cracker gifts have got progressively worse over the years. Plastic tat normally now. These would be a useful addition to a kitchen draw of things

  12. He says, It seems like the Queen’s corgi has more influence than most politicians – at least it wears its collar with dignity!

  13. I always hope for mini nail clippers, but they seem tho be getting rarer these days.

  14. Very much so! I got a packet of mini screwdrivers I still use 20 years on.

  15. I used the small cross head screwdriver to fix a pair of glasses today!

  16. Those nail clipper jobbies were also pretty decent. I still have one set that must be a good 30 years old by now if not more.

  18. Me as a kid: Why the hell would I want a screwdriver, I want one of the toys.

    Me as an adult: Stupid kid me, should have kept the screwdrivers.

  19. Used to have a pair in my drawer at work, pretty much used every week.

  20. They were the best! Fit in my handbag and fix my glasses the best combination

  21. I once got mini nail clippers! Still have them and now use them for my son’s nails.

  22. Every woodwind player’s dream! Just the right size for sax and clarinet screws.

  23. The best one I had was a tiny spirit level, about a 1.5 inch wide. Super handy for hanging pictures up. You just rest it on the frame.
