Cool "new" screwdriver

[dubdoc]

Found this in an old drawer. It is 3.75" long. Very Cool.

Here are my earlier North Bros versions made before the Stanley takeover. They were listed in my WW2 Navy NAF catalog.

Your last pic looks like a screwdriver tip on the ball end. Is that correct? Nice feature I don't have, mine is post Stanley buy out also.

I have several though I don't use them often. Great for a spot with limited access..

Hmmmm, just noticed that too. I've been gipped ! Nice feature.

I think those are really early based on the WW2 catalog image which doesn’t show those tips.

I've had a couple of those forever (~45 years?). There are times when nothing else will do.

Don’s screwdriver was patent in 1935, and it looks like the screwdriver in the end could fold out, no ball there.

Here is a rusty Craftsman one. Phillips on one side and slotted on the other.

Same here. When you need them, they're worth their price in gold!!

I forgot that I had accumulated so many in my mountain toolbox.
