Most likely both of those cables had RCA connectors on other end - so it would've been easier just to use another cable

Meanwhile elsewhere . . .

Governement ordered 10 000 000 screwdrivers.

Aternative use . . .

I was at an open house once, and there were stubby screwdrivers jammed into the fusebox to hold the big cartridge fused in place.

I ran out of that house.

Well that's one way to stop those fuses blowing!

Technically they’re still fuses. They’re just the wrong rating.

Fun discussion on it here:

I'm going with the 1500 amp rating on the screw drivers.

Here's some real-world testing:

Of course, they had to test a wedge of Laughing Cow.

I was looking for that but couldn't think of the name - thanks for posting! The slow-blow fuse-wrench (spanner!) blows me away every time.

I like that around 7:30-8:00 you can see one of these bozos manipulate the brick with his bare hands.

Yikes! I wonder if there was any other damage.

There's most likely very low voltage - so no risk of getting zapped. ️

I'm sure there's no residual heat either.

Any stray heat or bits of molten metal will get soaked up by the carpet.
