Screwdriver usage......

That's a great way to destroy the acetate handle.

... and that lets the smell out.

I've never tried it. If I need extra help, I lean on the screw driverand turn the hex shaft with a wrench.

This technology has been outdated due to the invention of 1/4" screwdriver bits.

We're talking about a screwdriver handle invention that was from the 1940's (estimated).

I learned it today and i’m 65 [emoji2359][emoji2960][emoji3061]. My usual weapon of choice is the 10” vise grips on the shank. If I’m feeling frisky and lazy I usually break out the Milwaukee M 12 and bang on it with that[emoji41]

I knew of those screwdrivers that have a shank that one can place a wrench on but, I didn't know that, I learned something new today. Thanks for sharing

I done it before, don't remember when. It's rather rare I run in to a real problem screw any more. Most all my own replaced by now and I ain't really doing loto resto.

Not to mention bit sockets.

I just tried it - assuming it's a standard Craftsman #2 it took a 15/16 twelve point box end with a lot of pressure to get it to bite. No idea how it will actually work with pressure on it.
No - I've never done it before and probably won't ever do it after tonight.

no i would think it would just tear up those handles. I do know that a few of my larger screwdrivers has a hex that is built to take a hex wrench

I cant imagine the plastic taking that much torque before rounding out. I never tried this.

I've been seeing this floating around on social media. I wonder if this was an actual design feature, or it just so happens to work...well sorta work. I tried to get a wrench on an old Craftsman PH2 and it doesn't really fit all that well, even if it did fit I'd be afraid to put too much torque on that plastic handle. Although now that I think about it, a Philips would probably cam out way before the handle lets go.
It would be interesting to see some of the original patents to see if this was actually a purpose built design.
