I've been using this screwdriver as anything but a screwdriver for decades.
It finally gave up the ghost knocking the fuel pump flange back onto the father in law's truck.
My dad gave me this tool when he gave me my first set of basic hand tools.
They've slowly been replaced with newer/better as I've broken or lost the originals.
The little flat-blade from this set lives on my desk, making it the sole survivor.

My Old Man had a stroke recently. I found myself inventorying his tools and sticking them back as a knee jerk reaction.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a competent handyman such as yourself can fashion a new handle?
I should post a pic of the tip.
DeleteOne side was zapped out of existence by a live wire we thought wasn't.
The other, I notched to use as a puller to get seals out of a transmission.
It's served to remove fuel pump flanges since.
Tools are, well, tools. Care for them and they last a lifetime, but when they eventually die; discard and replace. This was an old tool when my dad gave it to me, so it's served a lifetime.
Hey Angus;
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest that you rebuild the handle and you can grind the tip smooth again and use it some more.
That wood handle is replaceable.
ReplyDeleteI'd be grateful for a link.
DeleteLooks like an old Irwin brand from back in the day,my dad had a bunch like it. Some of the first ones I bought.Allan
ReplyDeleteThe metal part on the front of the handle is faintly stamped "MAC".
DeleteAll of the screwdrivers from this set have a '3' in the wood part of the handle.
