    Happy? Sigh - I'll need another screwdriver bit

    Sure - it'll make you "happy", unless you're a scrapper and don't have the right screwdriver bit...


    Ok, file this under … WTF??? … Happy Face Screw Heads


    "These are the smiley face screws created by Studio Yumakano and the Komuro Manufacturing Company in East Osaka, Japan. They require a special smiley face screwdriver to screw into something. They’re supposed to make everyone who sees them happy.

    Proving that it’s the little things that bring about a smile, the ‘screw’ is a collaborative project by japanese company studio yumakano and komuro manufacturing co. ltd, a factory in east osaka, japan. ever since its initial invention the screw hasn’t changed much in style and function, they are used everywhere, but usually go unnoticed. adding a happy face onto the top of the small pieces, the design facilitates the sharing of joy and the discovering of surprises with others. the project sees the daily objects transformed into more than just a functional tool and gives a sense of expression and emotion to a mass produced product."

    Not that it's common to have these either, but maybe you could use a spanner bit for these if for some reason you ever come across them

    That's pretty smart. Invent a new screw, put a million of them in one item then also sell the screw drivers.$$$$$$

    Kinda disturbing the way it smiles at you...

    I like it.

    I don't like the need for another screw drivers though. I can see it now when working with a helper.."Hand me the smiley face screwdriver please." "Ok..wait what?"

    I bet every one who has to put a piece of store furniture together at home would make a run on the angry faced ones. Ha ha!

    You could tell what mood the worker was in when he put your item in, based on the screws!

    Freaking brilliant.
