a really neat combo tool for tightening/loosening the cock jaws on yer flinter and the "T" handle has both blunted and pointed ends that work great for tapping a gun flint edge to sharpen it. it's blade is fine enuf for those really narrow slot jaws screws. bargain priced at $15/shipped. you need one of these nifty tools!

I made this turn screw/ flint knapper from a piece of copper and a screw driver blade that I re-ground to fit.

I recently picked up a primitive turnscrew from TOW, and the blade was so soft it bent when I tried to tighten a screw with it.

I carry a similar tool in my bag for tightening the flint jaws either by the slot or the hole (depending on which flintlock I have on a particular day). The vent pick and knapping hammer I carry in little pockets on my shootin' bag shoulder strap attached with some leather so they don't get away from me.
You can never have to many tools with you!
