I stopped watching when he got that one rare IBM workstation and sloppily dremeled in all the the screws to open it because he was too lazy to go to the store to buy a screwdriver. That was before I even heard about this and the stupid gun stuff. I know it's like a minor thing and he only damaged screws and sheet metal parts that could in theory be replaced with a medium amount of difficulty, but I just can't imagine intentionally damaging something very uncommon because you're too lazy to buy a screwdriver

...........who doesn't have a screwdriver??? HE DISASSEMBLES ELECTRONICS OFTEN FOR A LIVING!!! WTF???

This only raises MORE questions!

I think it was a security torx screw if I remember correctly so it makes sense he wouldn't necessarily have an appropriate bit, but it would have been so little effort to just order one or go to a store

You could also jam a flathead into one at certain angles if it isn't too tight between the peg, I've done that before
