As an budding curmudgeon, let me rant about fasteners in general ... too many small appliances are built with fasteners that can only removed with non-existent tools, or without damaging the connection point so they cannot even be replaced with simple screws. Then the only answers are glue or duct tape.

Personally I am starting top mix not being around a college with dorms ... I am in the mood to pick up some cheap parts to play with.
