JimSraj 569 #3 Posted February 17 I’ve got a set of 3 sizes that I bought new about 25 years ago. I think they may be available still. I don’t recall where I bought them though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 9,706 #4 Posted February 17 went on ebay and found them have not seen new ones just used Vintage Made in USA Irwin perfect handle screwdriver. Those screwdrivers have history of been used in Jeep and Tanks tool kit. Hard to find in nice unused condition. Stamped: IRWIN-US of A. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AI says they were slowly phased out of production middle of the last century. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Treepep 1,099 #7 Posted February 17 Very Cool! Dad has a couple in his retired tool chest he used to lug around. Always thought it was a chisel of sorts. I don't appreciate the name calling. I consider myself to be a rather young tool. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,655 #8 Posted February 17 An excellent guess is in the 1940's. I found the large one on the road side and carved the wood to fit. The other 2 were my Grandfather's. I don't think they are worth a lot of money, but they are made well and they look like they are worth a ton. These are worth a ton to me !! 5 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unsafely of course, I walked with it in my back pocket. It was too big for any of my radar screws, but it sure looked worthy of respect. Naturally China makes a knockoff set including phillips tip. All said it surely is an early tool years screw stick fer sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
