Perfect Handle 3/8" Socket Driver

The finest in antique socket-drivery, this socket driver is based on an 1904 patent by William Ward, but with several modern improvements. Each socket driver is made from 1144 steel, ~9in/22.8cm long, and weighs 0.44lb/200g. The square shaft is 3/8in/0.95cm thick. The socket driver end is for 3/8" square drive attachments and hardened to 52 HRC. The wooden (solid cherry) scales are hand finished with a hardening wax. The square shaft allows you to use wrenches to increase the amount of torque you can apply to the fastener if they are really stuck! Each socket driver is UNIQUELY NUMBERED under the handle scales. Entirely MADE IN CANADA.

And ordered. Now the real question is though, when are the brass mini wrenches going to be made available, or did I miss them while in a coma?

handtoolrescue

The brass minis always needed steel adjusters, which took way too long for me to finalize. They are made now and I will finish the brass wrenches up at some point and put them for sale. I'm hand finishing each one though.

I'm afraid here in good ol Germany I can't really make use it. But if you ever do a small version of the screwdriver, I'll hit the buy button as hard as humanly possible. I mainly restore smaller tools, which simply don't have large enough screws to use the bigger ones.

handtoolrescue

Oh that is coming at some point for sure. You can always buy sockets that hold small driver bits until then! haha

Luke Yeagley

Oh yes. Now to decide what wood to use for the handles...

Ordered. I’m so excited. I hope my buddy still has some used skateboard scraps so I can make the scales out of them.

I love these, and your videos. When are we getting slightly smaller versions?? I have the smaller flathead, but it turns out to be much too big for the kinds of things I work on ☹️

Marc McKenzie

I love how your intro both proved the DOMINANT FORCE this driver POSSESSES, simultaneously the PATHETIC strength of the COMPETITION! Can’t waith until your 1” driver comes out…. 🥸

Russell Loud

And my collection continues to expand!

Damian Sutter

love it! Can't wait for it to join the others! Now to look for the craziest 3/8th attachment...

metis

Damnit man, I don't need more.... Well yes, yes I do need another tool. Brass mini wrenches and smaller flatheads you say?

I would do naughty, nasty things for a companion tool in 1/4".

I think there is a misunderstanding. 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and so on, are also used for metric sockets. There is no difference. So this socket driver can be perfectly used in metric land. I checked and there are sockets available for a 3/8" socket driver.

I prize mine too much to use, and so am about to order the steel handle version. Any plans to make matching steel handled screwdrivers? I know, sockets and bits, but like.. yeah!
