Remember 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!

Oh yeah, definitely adding a couple to my toolbox when they become available.

B E E F Y. Curly maple handles too.

Planky

Im glad you are overcompensating for my lack of... large screwdrivers in my tool set

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.

Dan Dastun

Please, I can only be so aroused.

Michel J. Gaudet

Oooooo_ ME WANT! ME WANT!! Okay, so when can we buy one or more?

handtoolrescue

Haha, it was made before the Nazis used that at their symbol, by Buffum Tool Co. from 1900-1924.

I am going to sell some with only brass pins and a template for people to make their own handles.

handtoolrescue

Haha! Oh 100%. First tests were with 1144 steel hardened to 55-60Rc, but I want to try even better steels.

Michael Butts

If it was a Nazi era screwdriver out of a tank crew kit or something that would just make it cooler in my book. I believe all historical things whether associated with good or bad are treasures to be valued and studied!

LoveSniff

I've always loved this style of screwdriver. Imma need at least two

ChuckD

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.

kevin hollo

I can't wait to order mine! And what about the 9" engineers wrench?

Wasted Audio

Screwdriver? Looks more like a fancy murder weapon!

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?

Quintin Hill

Very Nice! I'll be down for two!

Michael Steeves

I don't need one. I expect I will be ordering in the first batch, sigh.

Rumenocity

I can ship you walnut and quarter sawn oak cutoffs for handles if you want. What we are using in the shop right now.

Gene Simonalle

I am not sure about that handle...it looks like it would be more comfortable with two sides, rather than just one. ;-)

Steve the Stove

(Said in my best Soup Nazi voice) "No screwdriver for YOU!"

Frank T

I don’t think you make big enough!

Rick

I want one!

handtoolrescue

Yes, if this goes well, I will make more "normal" sizes.

Fraser Adams

Much want. Hope it can make its way all the way down to the other colonies.

DocJones

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.

Ben

love it! definitely want one

Pascal Roy

YES!! And a mini version for EDC!

R l

Suggestion - add a wood handle to both sides. I own 10% if you use this idea

R l

Also - what's with the nazi tool over there?

Vilk

Back before the Nazi movement started, the swastikas' use in advertising was considered pretty normal, as in the US, it had a native, almost rugged connotation to it. Goggle "nonnazi swatika" to see examples.

R l

Eric I don't mean to tell you how to run your shit but now might be a good time to just officially disavow nazis

Retrospector

everything said -> the nazis did not invent that symbol, they just ruined it for all others. Imagine they had chosen the 'A' :) Bad when the swastika was/is your company trademark sign invented before 1930s

Dale Conway

So excited the channel is awesome has totally helps my anxiety attacks just watching the master at work

Marco

Great Design, love the shape of the handle.

Dr Princess Wizard

Maybe a hole in the center to place another screw driver and get more torque?

Aaron Greene

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.

Eye Make Stuff

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