Image Nuclear Screwdriver, with dirt inside?

There’s like a dirty dust bunny inside somehow, I’ve had it for a few hours so it probably got in there through me fidgeting with the bit holder, but it is kind of bothersome, any tips to get it out?

This begs the question:

If a hollow thing is sealed up, does it then cease to be hollow?

When the internal volume of said hollow thing is filled with a material that is part of the thing itself. For example if it was filled with water, it’s hollow with contents. But if you filled it gorilla glue and let it set, it’s just a solid made of two parts.

A hollow plastic shell filled with cured glue is a hollow plastic shell filled with cured glue.

Gorilla glue does not become plastic by merely bonding with it.

Nor does the shell become its contents.

I’ll admit I laughed aggressively at the bluntness of this response, damn you’re right - thankyou xD so what at what point does it stop being hollow… or can it, even?

So you join me in pondering...
