NOTHING is "inarrachable" in the absolute, just not "arrachable" in normal use. Try turning a plastic-handled screw driver by putting a pair of vice grips on the handle for leverage and you'll b**gg*r the thing ... That's why the cleverclogs have put a nut on the shank, so that if you DO b*gg*r the thing by twisting the handle with excessive force, they will point out to you that you were misusing it and should have put a spanner on the nut to exert the force required.

unbreakable
I agree that nothing is "inarrachable" but marketing people often stretch the truth - unbreakable is in the same vein..
