ISO a stubby #3 Philips screwdriver

[metalmagpie]

They make stubby #2 philips screwdrivers, why not #3?

They don't, but Wera does.

I've never had a screw with a #3 head in a position that I needed a stubby screwdriver.

I've needed a stubby #3 Robertson, but never a Phillips. I have a stubby ratchet bit driver I use as a stubby.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but considering the amount of torque (or rather lack thereof) you can apply to a little "stubby" screwdriver handle, why not consider an offset phillips instead?

I know I didn't pay anywhere near $11 bucks for mine - I found an old Vaco on Ebay to replace one I lost. You can get on it with a Vise-Grip and put some serious arm into it if necessary. (Last time was removing a phillips-head screw some jackass had used to attach the intake tube on a Tecumseh 3 HP lawnmower engine.)

Get a stubby ratcheting screwdriver and have it in any size bit you want

That's the beauty of owning other tools - to make/modify something into what you need.

With an oxy/acetylene rig you can heat/weld/bend a typical #3 into whatever you want. Put the handle in a vice, heat the shaft, pull from handle. Now cut to length and reinsert. Cut the handle down if needed too. Probably get by with a heat gun and hacksaw too...

Between my little welder, the torch, angle grinder and a bench grinder, none of my tools are safe. They either do what I need them to do or suffer the consequences!
