• Yankee brand spiral drivers were made by the Stanley tool company. Notice how the box shows only slotted drivers, because those were by far the most commonly used at the time.

• Adding a holder for multiple bits makes for a convenient tool.

• Because they don’t have to be very powerful to be very useful, small, lightweight screw guns are popular and cheap.

• These two screw guns are starting to look like they are taking the “gun” in their name a bit too literally. The rotating chambers hold different screwdriver bits, which slide into place automatically.

• This tool tries to solve the age-old problem of needing to alternate between drilling holes, and then driving screws into them. It has a turret head that lets you quickly swap between two different tips. Basically it’s the only drill/driver that actually lives up to the name, being able to do both at once.

• Here the designer has clearly gone over into the realm of humor, but it is actually a working screw gun.

• There is clearly a strong Apple influence in the packaging of this super-premium miniature precision electric screwdriver, the WOWSTICK 1F+. You hold it like a pencil, and since the screws it works on are so tiny, torque is not an issue.

• Quick Change Power Driver

• Any tool that is successful for more than 17 years—the length of time a patent is valid for—will have imitators. This Greenlee works the same way as the Yankee, it just hides the cool double-spiral shaft in a sleeve.

• Yankee Screwdriver Bits

• Cordless Screwdriver

• Electric screwdrivers don’t have to be gun-shaped. This antique pacifist version has a large enough diameter that you can hold it quite effectively against the turning force it generates.

Do you have a better example of this kind of tool? Let me know by leaving a comment, and include a picture of it if you can so everyone can see!
