Orange Craftsman Professional Screwdrivers!

[kxxr]

I was tickled to get these for a great price but am unsure of the exact vintage. Anyone have an educated guess? 16 pieces.

 

[CHRIS LUCKYMAN]

Those are cool. I have a few black screwdrivers with that handle. But... tickled?

 

[Farmer Joe]

Those are very cool looking screwdrivers. I like the colors. I want some green handle ones with the black drivers like that.

Made in mid to late 90's. I was outbid on a 20 some piece set that maybe had a couple of them that were actually used at all. It went for $135 about 6 months ago.

 

[kxxr]

Yes, tickled Feel free to bust out your mad elocution skills at any point and choose a better word.

 

[Sterff]

Im jealous! I have always liked the earlier black and orange CMAN pro drivers.

 

[Danglerb]

Nice for Halloween I guess.

 

[powertrip]

how did you get them

 

[stricht8]

those are pretty cool.

 

[kxxr]

There is a store in town that is full of NOS stuff. His prices are usually so high that stuff just sits and sits. I don't think he needs money. These were hidden at the bottom of a pile of other stuff just sitting on the floor. He has brand new tools from companies that have been out of business for many years. Along with a lot of new stuff of course.

You ****! How much did you pay?

 

[CHRIS LUCKYMAN]

Are the logos printed or "stamped"? And... how much??

 

[Kurt4440]

Nice screwdrivers Elmo

 

[SMKS]

WOW, nice score. I really like hi-vis screwdrivers.

But, I will admit that I prefer the handles on the new Craftsman pro drivers to these hard handles.

That's a slick looking set, very nice! I have one of the Craftsman pry bars with a very similar handle in orange and I love it.

 

[itsvegas]

orange pry bars? lets see them!

 

[kxxr]

The lettering is printed on. Only the 2 smallest ones have hard handles, the rest are the soft kind.

 

[powertrip]

Never seen this color/type in a soft orange. Theses may be the holy grail of craftsman screwdrivers. So jealous

 

[kxxr]

Yes, as I said I was 'tickled' ... I thought it sounded better than 'woody' or something like that : )

 

[kythri]

Neat.

Does that little offset screwdriver have a part number on it?

 

[jeffmoss26]

You still didn't tell us how much it cost! :O

 

[CHRIS LUCKYMAN]

Careful with the printed logos - they polish away easily.

I have people for that, they know what they are doing.

It says 9 4112 N WF

 

[pcpro15]

I wouldn't have given more than a $20 bill for them

 

[CHRIS LUCKYMAN]

Well played.

What was their price???

 

[Buckgnarly]

Hey, anyone ask how much was paid yet?......

 

[Caleb T]

Very cool, I just aquired a black hard handeled version of those not too long ago.

 

[kxxr]

I paid $34.95, a steal.

 

[jeffmoss26]

not bad!!

 

[kxxr]

Well played.

Yeah, I don't know why you would want to try to insult me, but trust me, you're not equipped for the task.

Paranoid... no insults from me. I thought we already established the pecking order. I'm tickled to see that we haven't.

I have a 6 piece set of the same screwdrivers.

I bought them right around 1999-2000.

At the same time they also offered a 3-piece crescent wrenche set with an orange rubber coating on the handle.

I bought both sets to use in a trailer so I could find the tools out in the field.

Surprisingly, I still have them ALL today.

[MattPersman]

i remember those from the 90s, i remember when you could get black or orange and many of them were $1 a piece loose in the bottom shelf just piled together.

for $35 bucks sounds like not a bad deal. I think I have a couple random black ones still

 

[txz28]

I have that same set. I bought it on closeout from Sears in about 2002-2003

What is the name of the place that had them? You could work on stuff in traffic with those and have a better chance of surviving.

This.
They're in the 97 Industrial catalog listed as 'new' .
The black handle versions are there also but they had been around longer.

Good find!

A guy at the flea market today had a #2 phillips in that style/color of C'man screwdriver. Wanted $3 for it and I passed.

Might buy it if it's still there tomorrow.

I see the black handled versions a good bit, but never the orange.
