hex drivers -anyone make a non-ball version?

[mrb]

does anyone make hex drivers with a screwdriver handle that are not ball drivers? I seem to remember seeing them in the past and i cant find any

I've seen 'em T-handled, but off the top of my head, no I haven't seen screwdriver style. Considering the amount of torque I usually need for them, I think I prefer the T-handles.

Hudy makes a great product, if you are looking for small hex drivers.

They are pretty expensive though.

I use a Wiha drive-loc interchangeable blade set. They make ball and normal hex blades.

Recently (about a year or two ago) I picked up a set of Craftsman at a close out sale.

I like them very much. Never seen them before but they're slick. Sort of look like nut drivers.

Buy a cheap set of ball end drivers and cut the balls off

i would also be interested in something this style but w/o the ball on the long end. Ive been real close to grinding the ball off the ond from one or two of my sets.

i have a set of eklind T handles which i wouldnt trade for anything, but i want a set of ones with screwdriver handles. I guess I could always use insert bits and a driver handle...

Wiha does make them, but the US distributor doesn't seem to import them:

I have the Wiha Drive-Loc VI hex blades, and they are quite nice.

EDIT: Looks like PB Swiss also makes them (scroll down to "8205 SwissGrip', towards the bottom):

EDIT 2: Looks like there is another maker, McMaster sells them. You'd have to call them to get the brand, or just buy from them.

This is another thing that Wiha does in fact make, but does not seem to import to the US:

EDIT: Looks like Klein has what you want (but still no sign of what the OP wants...):

Um everybody? Excelite for sure, I cant imagine anyone NOT making them. Getting stores to stock both, might be a different story...

 

[jensputzier]

Hazet makes those.

Wasn't sure if you wanted a "fixed" handle or not. This is what I have been using for many years. The Xcelite Series 99 stuff:

McMaster has some listed, no manufacturer though. Their ball ends are Bondhus.
