• Ultralong Screwdrivers

• Long and thick Screwdrivers

• Way back in the late 1980’s, opening a first-generation Macintosh computer required two things: a special spreader tool, and this super-long Torx screwdriver. It needed to be that long to reach into the deep pockets holding the screws.

• Assorted Small Screwdrivers

• Rubber over-molded screwdriver.

• Wood Handled Slotted Drivers

• Wood is an attractive material for screwdriver handles. Attractive, but not very practical. It’s not as strong as plastic, and doesn’t last unless it’s taken care of like fine furniture.

• Cellulose acetate, a type of plastic that is typically colored yellow for some reason, is a great material for handles. It’s even used for chisel handles where it can survive decades of hammering.

• Having the steel shank continue on through the whole handle makes for an exceptionally strong screwdriver.

• The only way to go thinner is to build the bit into the handle: this is the thinnest, lowest-profile screwdriver I know of.

• So many screwdrivers.

• Stubby Slotted Driver

• Pliers-screwdriver: it allows you to exert pressure on the screw while turning. These are sold for adjusting the screws in scissors.

• Very stubby screwdriver.

• I have screwdrivers ranging in length from under a inch (25mm) to over 2 feet (670mm) long. The really short ones have to go wide so there is enough handle to grab, and some of the really long ones are perhaps as much prybar as screwdriver.

• This specialized driver fits over and turns screw-in hanging hooks (such as you might hang plants or sausages from).

• I have a lot of tools, but this is ridiculous. One time I was in a hurry ordering new screwdrivers for my kits and I accidentally ordered flat head rather than Philips. Now I have 3000 more tools. (Shipping them back to exchange them would have cost more than they are worth.)

• Each of the mechanical model kits I sell comes with one of these ultra-cheap Philips head screwdrivers. They cost 2.3 cents each in quantities of 3000.

• Cute Ratchet Driver Set

• New Plastic Handled Slotted Driver

• This looks like a normal slotted screwdriver, and it can be used to turn the screws in an electrical terminal block. But it also has a bulb that lights up if voltage is present on what it’s touching.

• A nut driver is just like a screwdriver, except with a either hexagonal socket on the end, or a square peg that you can attach hex sockets to. An argument could be made that nut drivers are really wrenches, but I’m putting them here on the basis of their handle design and generally small nature.

• This nut driver will hold any ¼” socket, and it’s flexible!

• This looks like an angle adapter, but it’s actually just a fixed handle that you can use two ways, much like a standard Allen wrench: short shaft and long handle for leverage, or long shaft and short handle for reaching down, avoiding obstructions, or spinning fast.

• Screwdriver handles don’t have to be round and in line with the shaft.

• This is the only real screwdriver in this whole chapter, because it has a literal screw on the end. Your guess is as good as mine what this is good for.

• A longer right-angle adapter lets you use more force, and you only have to hold the end.

• Allen wrenches with bent T handles.

• Most hex (Allen) wrenches are just a hexagonal shaft that’s been bent 90 degrees, so they are the same size on both ends. This rare specimen is an Allen wrench on one side and a Phillips screwdriver on the other. Don’t see that every day.

• Square Drivers

• Nut Drivers

• Slightly upscale precision screwdriver.

• Assorted Small Screwdrivers

• Wrench for un-sticking a stuck in-sink garbage disposal.

• Small spiral-drive screwdriver.

• You never know what you’ll find in a box of old screwdrivers. These bowtie drivers don’t fit anything I’ve ever seen.
