Is it sonic enough?

[primsong]

My daughter was playing around with the uber-coolness of my Three-styled toy sonic screwdriver (the cat takes suprisingly well to being sonicked) and had to ponder - "Why don't they make them with something like an end that comes off and inside would be a real screwdriver that you could use to twist things with, you know, so it really does something? I would totally want to make something like that."

"They have a real marketing opportunity there," I noted, "for instance, they could put out the Jackson Lake version of the sonic screwdriver and charge a mint for... a screwdriver."

"I would buy it," she nodded. "That would be so cool."

*cough* Both the Ninth and Tenth Doctor's sonic screwdrivers reside in my toolkit. Nine's is a pen and Ten's is a penlight, so they're handy to have in there (plus, the look on people's faces when I ask them to get one out is hilarious).

I haven't bought Three's or Eleven's for precisely that reason. If they did something I'd be all over them. Well, all over Three's, at any rate.

I covet your toolkit.

And well, mine *does* make this really useful "bleeblebleeblebleeble" noise... I'm sure that must have a practical use SOMEwhere. ;-)

You can probably reverse the polarity with it. Have you tried?
