Looking for ball-handled ratchet screwdriver- Screwball, Easy Driver, Pratt & Read

I've seen people posting throughout looking for this item. My husband used to have one that he loved. He repaired it until it couldn't be repaired any more and I've been looking for one ever since. There were several companies that made there- screwball, easy driver, pratt and read. None of these are available any more. I've searched ebay and there are none there either. He used to have the screwball so of course, that's the one I would rather find. If anyone has one for sale, I'd love to find one for my husband for Christmas. Thanks for any help you can give me!

Here is one that I would want 20 shipped. It has all 3 bits in handle plus one inserted now. It has the sockets and socket adaptor to as well as 2 additional bits and original box. It does have some nicks and dings but overall in good shape and works great...

Toward the top right of the page it will show private messages. Probably flashing with a new message. You should have one from me with my paypal info.

Darrin88- Just sent it. Thanks so much! We just do stockings for each other for Christmas and I told him I was going to try to find something different this year. No Lowe's gift card this year. He won't believe it! He's been looking for this screwdriver for 20 years!

I see this post is recent so it seemed like a good place to start. My Screwball just gave up the ghost after almost forty years, anybody else have one for sale? I'd sure love to replace it....

The ball driver ratchet is available at H. Depot for about 6$. I just picked up 2 today.

I looked at the HD one today, and it felt good in my hand, but it was made in China.

Are the older ones made in USA? If so, anyone still have one? PM me if you do and it's USA made!
