The Mercer of the late teens had a tool roll with tools made by Billings & Spencer. If you haven't ever seen their tools take a look. At a time when many wrenches were stamped out of sheet stock, Billings held major patents on drop forging. adjustable wrenches really put to shame any made today. Here are two screwdrivers I've found which match the OEM provided with the car. These would've been made about 1920

...lol....
It's nice to know there's a place I can go where others share my addiction. Note the PB Swiss screwdrivers are plated with real gold, but the Swiss Grip are definitely the nicest set of Phillips drivers I've ever laid my hands upon.

Can´t see the pics,is it just me?
But I think I know what you are referring to,black handles?
They are hard too find.
I picked these up a while back on ebay for a song. I've never heard of them but I got a box of 6 new in the original packaging. I always need some general purpose prying,driving, don't really care if I break them screwdrivers.
You are correct, though, the gold plated PB Swiss have 6 or 7 drivers and they have hard black handles. As far as aesthetics go, very nice looking tools if I do say so myself. In one of my pix (that I'll repost) there is also a shot of my Swiss Made Wiha Linesman pliers. The things look like they belong in a museum. Although the black handled PB's are nice, the Swiss Grips have an awesome feel to them and they really have great "bite."
Those are my go-to screwdrivers also!
I have issues with the newer phillips drivers...I have a couple flatheads I use exclusively for beating on...
I have a set of those in a flat blade style, they look pretty cool.
One problem with screwdrivers, with me at least, is that I'm a sucker for any super smoking deal on the things. I probably have 6 sets or so now, all PB Swiss/Wera/Felo, and gave away my Craftsman set that I've had for 40+ years. I doubt I have $120 in those six sets.
They've all lasted 3 years except the flat head that gets replaced every few months from being used as a chisel. And looking to add the long reach 1/4 and 5/16 nutdrivers

This is my first post on this forum, I read it some time already. I do not do much in the garage, but I work a lot with a laptops and here I found some suggestions for precision screwdrivers. So here are my precision screwdrivers.
and for easy access diy stand, from laptop hinges and 2 pieces of woodVery nice. I work on computers all day too! It sure helps to have the right tools for the job!
