That’s how you end up with a pair of “drawer pliers” that are a special entity not to be moved - use another pair of pliers if you need them somewhere else!
You’ve been successfully using pliers to pull the drawer open by the missing knob’s screw.
Uh-oh! You left the drawer ajar in a pinch, forgot about it, and then caught your favorite sweatpants on the screw, making an ugly hole! And you don’t have gray thread to match!
Oh no! After trying for 30 min, looks like you need a new knob after all!
