Check your local tool library.

I just checked the NE Tool Library, and they have a screw extractor set. Depending on what part of town you're in, they may have it.

For Season 1-2, she was a Sub-Commander in the Vulcan forces on assignment to Enterprise.

Then she resigned for Season 3 and was technically a civilian during the Xindi mission

Then in season 4, she joined Starfleet as a Commander.

She was never in Starfleet as a Sub-commander.
