Contents of a strange toolbox 

One precision sledgehammer
A complete set of security screwdrivers, but no flathead, phillips head, hex keys, or torx bits
An eclectic selection of pentagonal wrenches that don't appear to follow any standard sizing you've ever heard of
A macrometer
One and a half pairs of calipers (three calipers total)
Exactly thirteen unthreaded screws. Always exactly thirteen. If you take one out, there will still be thirteen.

@Motodrachen hey, that precision sledgehammer's worth it!

re: Contents of a strange toolbox 

@Motodrachen Pretty useless nails; I'm thinking of machine screws, the sort that don't have a pointed end!

re: Contents of a strange toolbox 

@Motodrachen Hah, nice.

@Felthry I'm imagining part of the toolbox is taken over by a sort of insect nest, abandoned, which is where the screws are. You can't look in every little cove at once.
