Silly and superficial Rossion/Noble question

You know how we have these really cool cars with quick turn 1/4 fasteners to open the clams? Has anyone found a bling tool to accomplish this with. I know, stupid, right? Anyway, I was thinking of a screwdriver with a carbon fiber handle.

Anyone?

Not just bling

If you want to be really Over The Top, it has to be an excessively complex tool that totally negates the point of quarter-turn fasteners in the first place. Something where you have to fit the head over the fastener and then wind a handle at the other end to turn a screw via a half-dozen gears to turn the srewdriver blade at the other. The fastner itself should be retracted into the tool iut of reach until you wind the handle in the opposite direction about fifty times. If it takes less than five minutes to do the half-second job, it's a failure!

Problem is all are slotted. Our fasteners are cross recessed
