Mods: I originally posted this in the Vintage thread, but thought it was appropriate here too, and might get more visibility.
Its the exact same thread. So i totally understand if you delete one or the other, etc. Thanks.
(I thought of Jeff Moss when i decided to post this.)
Ive seen a lot of security configurations for fasteners, but this is a new one for me.
I picked up this driver because i recognized the distinct vintage translucent yellow Snap-on handle and, what at first appeared to be a flat driver, was actually a bizarre wide profile tip with two pointed prongs.

Some research revealed that Folger Adam (now Southern Folger) provided security equipment for jails/prisons and my hypothesis is that Snap-on manufactured and private branded these specialty drivers for their fasteners.
I found a picture online of a set of 5 different sized drivers, but not sure how many sizes were actually made.
These seem to be very rare and elusive.
Known screwdriver part numbers for the “set”:
N8130
N8131A
N8132A
N8133A
N8134A
I also found this picture (not mine) of the fastener these worked with:

Anyone else got any (modern or vintage) detention security tools of the trade?
