Title: Anything can become a tool

The wide concave screw on some reel handles can be easily removed without damage by using a penny. It also works on the clutch lever screw on the Cold Water reels. I had to use a U.S penny as Canada doesn't use pennies anymore.

Some screw design to use penny to unscrew to prevent damage to screw
