I had one that's what it did, hit the back and kicked screw loose. |

Time for another clue. It looks like a screwdriver, and the things that get turned have threads, but they are not screws (in the sense that screws hold things together). |

Metal, but not your usual screwdriver metal. |

Not medical. But, does "the Doctor" use it? |

Not THE Doctor. (you know Who.) But, if you use a broad definition of doctor, the person using is sorta kinda a doctor. |

Does it have anything to do with teeth? |

...but not animal teeth? Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

You could probably pick your teeth with it, but that is not its intended use. "Electronics" is an interesting question. The device this is used on is not, itself, electronic, and does not need electronics to be useful, but it may be part of an electronic system. Or it may not. That's your clue for today. |

Is it used to work on aircraft? Yes, amongst other things. |

Is it non-magnetic? Missed this one sorry. Yes, it is non-magnetic. That is half the answer I'm looking for. |

Is it non-magnetic? One does have to swing into alignment. |

OK, two of you have it. Come on, out with it. |

I'll shoot at it. Compass alignment tool? |
