Gates screwdriver

[Tool Pants]

Boght these at the flea market for $3 each. Looks like the brand is Gates, but can't find anything for Gates screwdrivers. Anyone know anything?

Hrmm, I don't think I'd hesitate to buy em' for $3 a pop. Looks nice.

Some more pictures. They are nice - that is why I bought them. Never seen something like it before. 12" long. Strange that they both have the same part number. The other thing is the word "own" before magnetic and hardened..

I can find nothing on Gates screwdrivers. But I am not sure Gates is the name.

Go back get more sell them here I could always use good cheap screw drivers pops tended to hold on to well worn out drivers for decades past when they should have been awls.

Again, from the flea for $3.

The "brand" is Aiceou. Except for the shape of the plastic handle it is identical to Gates. Same plastic. Same smoke colored handle. Same blade. Same type of metal cap on the end of the handle so you can hit it with a hammer. Same claim to have a magnetic tip.

I like the "Can Be Impinged". I had to look that word up and it looks like I can hit it with a hammer.

I suspect the brand names on the handles have nothing to do with what company actually makes this product.

This one if from a different seller from last year when I bought the Gates.

Those screwdrivers look awesome!

If you never told us the COO I would have guessed German for sure.

Those are some nice $3 screwdrivers. You can never have enough tools.

The Gates screwdrivers look like Wera (German) from the handle, bolsters, shanks, down to the tips.
