Cornwell 3/8" Handle Driver: little help please...

[bob08]

I'm wondering if there are any Cornwell fans and/or dealers here who can help me track down a part number for a 3/8" handled driver. I'm sure I've seen them before, but I couldn't find any listing in Cornwell's current catalog, and the girl I spoke with at Cornwell was new and didn't know anything about it.

Basically it's an 8 or 10 inch 3/8" extension with one of their blue, square plastic handles, and it has a 3/8" female drive in the handle end.

Any part number or information on this tool's availability would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I can get you the part number, but they were discontinued about 3 years ago. I sent an email directly to customer service because I wanted one too.

Dang, I figured it was probably a discontinued tool since it isn't in their current catalog. If you do find the part number, I'd certainly appreciate you posting it here, and thanks for the response.

I did notice that other companies (SO, etc) make something similar, but at a price; I'd like to track down the one from Cornwell if I can. Thanks again.

I will post the part numbers as soon as I can get to my catalog.

Much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks you much for the part numbers! This should certainly help in tracking some down.

Take care,

Bluepoint used to make one too as I have one, but can't get it to come up on Snap-on

$20 on Ebay:

A quick search of "3/8" spinners" on google.com shows Vim makes as set of locking for $15 and Armstrong makes one for $25

I also have a set I bought from the local O'reilly auto parts that are a little longer and have smaller handles that I really like, but could not find them online.

Thanks for the input. I have seen some 3/8" drivers available from other companies like Snap-on for example; the one from Cornwell seemed nice though, and if it was still being made (which according to the Cornwell folks, it isn't) I might buy one. I might poke around to try and find one, but I have the feeling it might be a needle in a haystack. I'm not keen on spending $30+ dollars on the Snap-on version, since it's a tool that'll likely see infrequent use.

McMaster Carr has some for cheap.

By the way, El Tanque, here are the MC part numbers if you're interested.

5 1/2" driver 5522A51 $8.12
7 1/4" driver 5522A77 $8.32
