Screwdrivers are made to build things, knives made to cut, and cars made to transport you to places.

I did not reference possible damages to the value of the items purchased, but discussed the disproportionate value of insurance versus initial cost versus potential damage in a worst case.<BR/><BR/>Both a car and a gun, and, for that matter, a kitchen knife or a screwdriver can result in injury or death.
