	<br>The icepicks I used as a boy ~~cost~~ all of ten cents apiece in Woolworth's.

An ~~accurate flip~~-and-a-half throw outdoors was ~~just doable~~, if there was no cross-wind. They ~~had~~ been ~~hard~~ to ~~regulate~~ in a full-~~flip~~ throw as a ~~result of most~~ of the little weight they had was in the handle. Indoors, within the cramped ~~space~~ of my bedroom, a half-~~turn~~ throw was ~~just right~~. Nowadays, icepicks are made with ~~brief~~, stout handles mounting a steel pommel cap for shattering icecubes.

A Phillips-head screwdriver would require removing the least metallic.
