Regular Handled Stubby Screwdrivers

[guitarbutt]

I cannot find any regular handled stubby screwdrivers. The only ones I see online are no longer produced Craftsman and Pratt Read brand ones. I'm not sure if anyone makes them now or what terms to search for, but I'm having nothing but dead ends. Here's a picture of what I'm looking for. I'd prefer to find a good brand, but I'll settle for just about any company or country. What am I overlooking or not searching for? Amazon has a china craftsman slotted one, but no Phillips (which is what I'd prefer if I can only have one or the other)

My Ace Hardware still has some of the NOS Craftsman ones they are flatheads. As far as I know they only made the Craftsman ones in flat head.

Vessel makes a slotted Megadora with a stubby blade/full size handle.

I've had my SEXUER stubby 2 in 1 for 30+ years, looks like Wiha makes a real nice one

I'm not wanting a ratcheting or multi bit driver. I'm hoping to find just regular ones. I'll have to check out that Megadora (cool name too)

Craftsman had a set called "Super stubby", but I can only find a few pictures. Nothing even on ebay. They come with two slotted and two Phillips. I'm willing to overpay for a nos package of them

Menards still has the exact same under their masterforce brand. They still have the US made ones in stock: https://www.menards.com/main/tools-...898-c-9158.htm?tid=1811190161050101953&ipos=1

Craftsman and Pratt Read

I have both sets "I think". I have a favorite Craftsman beefy handle with a real short flat driver. I actually have it attached with a chain to my Honda Generator to use on the screw keys to open the panel.

Wera has a nice set of stubbies but the handles are also stubby.

That's it!!! Thank you! I'm going to order two sets

SK made them. They were just like the craftsman professional series except in green & black. Armstrong also made them in blue & black, check cripe distributing on ebay to see if they're still available.

Is there something in a multi that would do the trick. Picquic might be the answer.

Picquic – We still make'em like we used to

The Original Instant Multi. Is it the best? You decide. The original Picquic Professional or at-home use, the bit assortment you need most. Picquic, on a budget Shorter handle, shorter bits, nothing short

Glad "Lesserstore" was able to point you to a place to buy them!

I was about to suggest you make your own. Pull the shafts and cut them down, reinstall into the handles.

Your already got a great answer, but just in case you need any other tip profile, a Wera 813 Or 816 with a 2 inch bit would work perfectly. A Broppe handle, or a PB insider could be a good alternative.

I recently built my own full size handle stubby flat blade. Simply swapped parts between the two screwdrivers below.

This is something that I'm surprised someone like Wiha doesn't offer, or at least I haven't seen it; they have hundreds of driver sizes and configurations but I haven't seen this. I have a craftsman pro phillips that has a full size handle and maybe a 2" blade, and that's quite useful; you don't always need to be 6" from a screw, and the full size handle is nice when there's room. I guess I'll have to buy a couple of williams drivers and copy the above idea.

Snap-On has been working well for me.

As an alternative, consider a Malco connext 1, and a 50mm/2 inch bit
