SCREWDRIVERS!
🕑 Added 2020-05-05 03:43:54 +0000 UTCRemember when we talked about these being made when we weren't all physically distancing? Me neither.
These have been in the works for a long time now and I am getting closer to finishing the design.
I do not yet know what exact type of steel for the body, or wood for the handles, or cost/price, but at least the design is there.
As always, Patrons get first access to these!

Nice bit of Walnut or some Zebrano to make it pop....I'll take 12!

these are pretty cool. for the size the grind is fine for the tip, cause i can see this being used for more than its intended purpose. lol. though if these are introduced in smaller sizes, you may want to look at possibly doing a curved grind for the tips. it allows for much better purchase into flat head slots, and less likely to roll the edges of the screw. Wheeler gunsmithing screwdriver kits incorporate this grind. should check out a kit for some of the more intricate or finer screws.

Oh sooooo pretty.
Maybe a hole in the center to place another screw driver and get more torque?
Would need to be an alloy, titanium can be brittle
Marco
Great Design, love the shape of the handle.
Delicious! Lemme buy some in titanium

Kenneth Stephens

Dammit!

Suggestion - add a wood handle to both sides. I own 10% if you use this idea
YES!! And a mini version for EDC!
Ben
love it! definitely want one
Can't wait to get my hands on one of these. I think your decision to offset the prying angle and the handle portion by 90 degrees is a smart plan.
Much want. Hope it can make its way all the way down to the other colonies.

Take my money!
Hand Tool Rescue
Yes, if this goes well, I will make more "normal" sizes.
I want one!
I don’t think you make big enough!
Ohh. Looking good!
(Said in my best Soup Nazi voice) "No screwdriver for YOU!"

I am not sure about that handle...it looks like it would be more comfortable with two sides, rather than just one. ;-)
I can ship you walnut and quarter sawn oak cutoffs for handles if you want. What we are using in the shop right now.
Michael Steeves
I don't need one. I expect I will be ordering in the first batch, sigh.
Very Nice! I'll be down for two!
Jamie (The Custom Cave) Reader
My body is ready!
Brooks Moses
Gorgeous! Are you thinking of doing some that are sized for mere mortal screws too, or just the giant ones that are an appropriate match for such a legendary screwdriver?
dreamer
Screwdriver? Looks more like a fancy murder weapon!
Mauricio Mariano
Gorgeous tool. :)
kevin hollo
I can't wait to order mine! And what about the 9" engineers wrench?
Tyler White
Beautiful.

I need that wood in my hand.

This'll look perfect over the mantle next to my Big Mouth Billy Bass Singing Sensation {tm] , or stuck into it's mouth. Or something.
I've always loved this style of screwdriver. Imma need at least two
Hand Tool Rescue
Too sensual?...
Hand Tool Rescue
Haha! Oh 100%. First tests were with 1144 steel hardened to 55-60Rc, but I want to try even better steels.
Hand Tool Rescue
I am going to sell some with only brass pins and a template for people to make their own handles.
Hand Tool Rescue
Haha, it was made before the Nazis used that at their symbol, by Buffum Tool Co. from 1900-1924.
Oooooo_ ME WANT! ME WANT!! Okay, so when can we buy one or more?
Dan Dastun
Please, I can only be so aroused.
Very sensual!
Fantastic!!! Can't wait!!!!!
Marc McKenzie
As usual, your work looks awesome! My only vote is that whatever design you run with, that they are hardened - because I will put a tool like this to work on the most recalcitrant situations that occur in my shop. This design looks beautiful and useful. P.S. I may sleep with mine.
Planky
Im glad you are overcompensating for my lack of... large screwdrivers in my tool set
Mitchell
B E E F Y. Curly maple handles too.
HeavyJeffD
I want some!
Sphynx
Oh yeah, definitely adding a couple to my toolbox when they become available.
