Default Battery driven...er ... 'tools'.

Ok, so every girl has got some battery driven 'tools'/ toys.

Can I ask what the best way to deal with these is?

Bin them? Take them through customs in your case?

What's the answer?

I would like to know this as well, my missus has several of these battery operated tools. I wouldn't want her chucking them away, how would she hoover out my car without her vacuum cleaner? and how would she put up the shelves without the drill?

Wendy, my dear girl... you may laugh, but it's a serious issue. Some of us over the years, have built up a fine collection of er 'tools' and there's much investment been made. It would be a shame to have to throw all that away!

But one fears that if one's collection came with one in a case, through the xray machine for example, would a customs person want to inspect them in case their shape was mistaken for an incendary device or other such alarming thing?

You see, it's a very worrying thing.

Indeed Kevin, but have you considered how oddly attached she seems to be to her battery operated toothbrush? Hmmmm?

A simple suggestion but I fear they would never make it to the other end.

My missus does not have any of these toys.
We are very open and it would not be a problem- is there something wrong with us
