When the manual on how to use the packaged set of eight is 300 pages,
requiring 10 hours of reading before use of the screwdrivers, it might make
sense for the novice do-it-yourself guy to buy the one, simple screwdriver
with the 10 page manual and 15 minutes of familiarization time.

Like it or lump it, John, Waffle IS too complex for the ordinary "sometime
user" to have to fool with. It may be worthwhile to may people to own one
tool that does what they need it to do, rather than a big heavy toolbox full
of unneeded tools.
