Tiggie Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Does anyone know what kind of screwdriver this is? Bought a selection of old screwdrivers off eBay and this one caught my eye. Quiet a nice design, all one piece. Guessing the metal top is to allow it to be used with a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He taught woodwork all his career and then retired to make bespoke furniture. I'm pretty sure he's still got that screwdriver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I just spoke with my dad. He can't remember where he got his from but it's basically just a screwdriver you can tap stuck screws with. He got a lot of tools from an old guy who used to live behind us when I was a sprog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerontious Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) I know exactly what it is. It’s a thing and gender neutral at that. Sorry for that bit of woke snowflakery, I’ve just woken up and realised what day it is. Which is a novel experience that has left me slightly traumatised. .
