Craftsman circle f ratcheting drill screwdriver

[ekegelmann]

Picked this up today for a cheap price, anyways I was wondering what the proper name for this might be, the circle f is nice, is this rare in this shape with all 8 bits or are there millions of them? And what value might be put on it?

Your push drill is the style I was talking about in my previous post.this type seems to more available at the flea mkts.They probably made a **** ton more of these since they are the manufacturer of them.They still serve their purpose today.
