OK I know this is dumb but I had a pair of favorite screwdrivers that were purchased as a gift from my wife from Griots Garage about six or so years ago. I attempted to upload a picture (first time). It says Triumph on one side and all in one on other. It has a magnetic collar. I lost the flat one when we moved of the pair. Could someone tell me who made this?

Griots used to sell FACOM tools -- one of the places one could get 'em in the US. FACOM (part of Stanley Black & Decker) uses black and red colors, like do so many others, and are excellent quality. Alas, that driver doesn't look like FACOM.

I'd tend toward Taiwanese as well.

A mystery, did a bunch of searching but no luck matching it. Facom seems to be the closest. The magnetic collar is unique.

I have that screwdriver somewhere. I used to carry it in my tool bag before I got an actual pozidriv screwdriver. I can't remember where I got it, but it wasn't at griots. I also don't recall it saying triumph. I will take a look in my spare tool box and see if I can give you more info.

Ok, I found mine. It says redback tools on one side and maxiS5 on the other. No origin and Google only came up with the Amazon link:

Redback Tools MaxiS5 Phillips Screwdriver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IBKQPK/?tag=atomicindus08-20

No coo on mine, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Wow! Great help! Looks like it is quality anyway. I wonder if Redback tools is still in business. From Scotland!

It seems to be an Aussie company, they also had a product called Sketch Tape and that looks like it was sold from AU vendors

Where did we confirm COO? I missed that.

(Aussie or Scots companies, perhaps -- but I'd bet a nickel that driver was made in Taiwan or China...)

Sorry, if you read the reviews under the item for sale on Amazon it gives the history of the Redback company.
