1) Sword edge up also helps in 1st strike cut move. (I am not 
translating correct name. Too damn tired.)

2) If you must strip wire, the 'little' sword is the one to use. Also, 
no hammering w/ long sword.

3) The screwdriver mentioned (If we have identified the correct manual 
driver) can be had in two basic categories; cheap and heirloom. The 
cheap one is no good except as a prop.

The min. you go using it for real it'll break on you as it is a cheap 
piece of junk. OTOH, they good one is hard to find...

I'm not going to spend too much time finding one or the other right now 
but I *think* we are talking about this:

If so, it's been in sooo many movies prior to Ghost Dog (I like Forest 
but damn dude- it aint just the sword handling that reeks in this film), 
that it's become cliche for the "I need to get in and rig what's behind 
the panel, quickly" hacker/ second stony man that it's not funny.

Looks like spiral and screwdriver are your key Google words. Also 
Yankee-style.

4) In Scirocco Related News: Harbor Freight Tools might have a tire 
mounting machine at a price point close enough to make it possible.

Need one of these?
