Der Schraubenzieher


If you're going abroad, one item that I recommend, which you might or might not think of, is a (flathead) screwdriver. At some point in your year or semester abroad, you will very likely think, "A screwdriver would be really handy right now." I know that I have.

It screws or unscrews things, it pries things open, it pries things off, the blunt end can be used to mash something in, and the pointy end can be used to stab offenders in unkind places. Please do not use your screwdriver to vandalize public property or stab non-offenders in unkind places.
