Older black handle Channellock screwdrivers

[KnurledNut]

I’ve seen tons of screwdrivers, but these were new to me.
I have seen the blue ones in this style but not black.
Anyone have some? Who was the OEM?
The handle design is very ergonomic.

No help with the OEM, but it looks like you have a #1 Robertson and some number Torx...

Yes, a #1 robbie and a 5/32 clutch driver. Thanks.

Pratt-Read was the OEM for a lot of their screwdrivers, but the hex-shanks and injection-molded handles remind me of the old black-handled Craftsman Professional drivers, which were made by Western Forge.

limited production run

If you guys think Metaldad is a tool *****, he ain't got but a very tiny screwdriver collection. lol True he is the king of Channellock I will give him that, as I only have maybe one or two of them.

OP just curious by any chance do your screwdrivers pull out from your plastic shanks with ease, if so, I may know who made them.
