Show off your Screwdrivers!!!!

[scaron]

Scaron, have you used the Klein punchdown screwdriver (top left) very much? I've seen them at the supply houses but have not picked one up yet...I have 4 Fluke/Harris D914 impact tools lol

good eye! i spotted it one day while i was at HD and had to have it, LOL. i think it's great for doing jacks; now i can stop carrying around all those little plastic punchdown tools you get when you buy bulk-packs, LOL. i would not want to use it to do an entire 66/110 block or ethernet patch panel, my ideal punchmaster II still reigns supreme for that application. it's perfect for the times when the usual spring loaded tool is overkill (i don't like to use the punchmaster on jacks, i feel like it's gonna blow em apart or something!)

That's a lot of screw drivers, lol.

And I'm working on filling up another drawer with specialty drivers and such .

nice box whats the story behind it did u make it or?

I wanted a tool box that had full width shallow drawers with at least 24in of depth to them. Unfortunately the only boxes that I came across were in excess of a couple thousand dollars, which I couldn't justify spending. So I ran across this flat file cabinet for dirt cheap, $200. After taking some measurements I decided it would be cheaper to convert this one over to a ball bearing tool chest. It would also be a nice project to work on over the winter. When its all said and done the dimensions of each drawer will be 44" x 30", and thats the inside dimensions too! Over all there will be 9 2.5in drawers and one 6in drawer. Which matches my requirements perfectly.

Looks like a blueprint cabinet to me.

Your spot on k-os, its a blueprint/flat file cabinet.

The family is away, the dog is asleep, so here goes...

Lower row are my users, left to right: no-name precision screwdriver set (one is not here but not missing); just above them are two Kleins, a 5-n-1 and an 11-n-1 (great while up a ladder but not used elsewhere); my go-to Williams set (I need to order some more, "tis the season" is coming up!); two Pratt-Read stubby phillips; my trusty Rosco Two-Fister slotted (like Linus and his blanket, I can NOT do without it!); and a Craftsman T20. Middle row l to r: some **** woodies; horizontal - three Stanley Bell System slotted woodies (not restored but aren't they the most elegant screwdrivers ever?) & my North Bros No. 30 Yankee; two minis (the little orange one must have came in a Crackerjack box and the red one is a Grainger phillips and slotted reversible with pocket clip for certified nerds that I use when I really want to impress); a Klein electrician's slotted; and two USA Husky phillips made into an awl and a gunsmith tip slotted. Top row: with the exception of the no-name bitdrivers they are stowed-away beaters (aka ****).

How is the quality of the slides on these types of cabinets? I've seen a few on Craigslist but was never sure how well they'd be able to handle the loads that filling them up with sockets, ratchets, etc. would present.

 

[X1 Mike]

Well I usually don't take part in these threads because a lot of you guys blow me away, but what the heck.

First up is my 10 piece Snap-On Orange hard handle set plus an added extra long #2 Phillips.

Next up is more Orange hard handle goodness, this time a 9 piece torx set.

Next up is a 5 piece Stanley FatMax Xtreme demolition drivers, I love these things. Bought them at the flea brand new for $3 a piece.

Approximately 15 year old set of Craftsman Pros.

Set of Craftsman that I picked up recently from Epstein's

Eklind balldrivers that I also picked up from Epstein's, only used a couple so far.

Armstrong, Craftsman Pro, and SK made by WF that I really like the feel of and would like to make a set out of.

Harbor Freight trash, but it serves a purpose.

Junk drawer

I have some specialty stuff I should throw in, first up is my Gearwrench ratcheting driver kit.

Next is a Mac torque screwdriver.

I have some more laying around like a Home Depot ratcheting driver in the junk drawer and some 8 in 1's in vehicles but that is pretty much it.

 

[FOCUS.FREAK]

Picked these up from eBay. They are normally a 60 or 70 dollar set. Scored a deal and got them for 42.75 shipped Gear wrench 12 pc set

The 36 piece Proto Classic Professional Screwdriver Set goes for $ 325.00 to $ 340.00...that's alot of money for an old retiree, like me...

I'm old, but I'm cunning...

Ergo...

I bought the 19 piece set from Amazon for $ 96.95, and then the 9 piece Torx set, and the 8 piece Phillips set from Zoro for $ 129.69...and PRESTO---a $ 115.00 saving!!!

Damn nice screwdrivers!!!

Now, I can really screw things up!!!

 

[Hpozzuoli]

Here a one pic

 

[Hpozzuoli]

Here's another

 

[Hpozzuoli]

And the last set worth noting

 

[INYER face hole]

Here's my screwdriver, pick, and nut driver drawer.

 

[Hpozzuoli]

I almost got those matco nut drivers oddly enough from my snap on guy. They were used but in great condition. Do you like them?

 

[INYER face hole]

I do. The handles are very comfortable. Made by Witte.

What price from your Snap-on guy.

 

[Applesauce]

Just got these a few days ago...

$65. They were used. It was just for the metric set, but they had a storage tray with them. Same color too. I like that orange color with matco. I have a screwdriver set that color.

I just caught this. Those aren't matco? They are witte? Or made by witte for matco...my eyes can't be that bad. I am only 36.

 

[INYER face hole]

They are Matco branded made by Witte.
$65 is a good price, they're about $200 new.

Those are awesome and I have found them on Amazon for less than $32 but what I want to know is are there any 6 piece sets? I can't have a set of screwdrivers that doesn't include a #3 Phillips.

 

[wolf_from_wv]

 

[ganymede]

Big 70's Proto. It's 19+ inches long.
Smaller one with 1/4" blade next to it and interchangeable bit Vaco up front.
There's something about the Vaco I don't like but it still comes with me on most adventures for weight and space savings.

 

[Jayboh]

Ever seen one of these? The blade gets thicker to hold the screw to the tip. I have the 3 u see here.

 

[rickhigginshtbr]

I have two of those, not by Vaco though. I like them, gives you a few different sizes of flat head in one driver.

 

[340wedge]

My Craftsman set from the early 90's and my Matco is my go too set.

 

[dirtydogintex]

holding screwdrivers? real handy to have even if not used often

found in electrical/electronic supply houses round here.... Klein, Ideal iirc

 

[Ironhorse]

This is about 1/2 of them...I have micro ones in the lista's for watch size screws , a set just for RC cars in billet aluminum, three sets for gun smithing....and the rest on carts, benches, tables, and even a set for up stairs in the house...yea it is a sickness..but at least my Kline collection is down to about 40 ( and there in a bag at the shop...lol)

 

[Ironhorse]

I have a few...switch plate covers are the most common use for them but also holding screws for bolt on breakers such as square D QOB style

 

[GSMotorrad]

Lot's of nice screwdrivers here. I just got this Sunex 8011BK thing to hang on the side of my box and it organized and free'd up some drawer space.

The three on each side of the rear flank are pry bars, the park tool is for spoke *******, and the c-man in the middle front needs something bigger to fit right.

 

[RX-KING]

Nice screwdriver colection guys.i like that

 

[RX-KING]

Here my little Witte colecttion.mostly Witte Triax series
Best driver i ever had in terms handle grip and performance(it can take a beat)

 

[sberry]

They kind of find a home. I need a new hanger beside the electric loom I stuck up there, the common slotted seem to like to roost there. I got a little of everything, I am not real fussy as long as it works and that proves itself out. Got some junk that last a long time, some didn't, got some good that last, some didn't, this is something easily lost or damaged. I got in a hurry the other day and fuk up one that has been in service for decades, wasn't the tools fault.

I don't need any more or it would be specific but if I wasn't sure I would face this about like sockets and wrenches by getting a big ole flea mkt set or one from Sears with about 30 drivers in it, find out where you are, buy a few pieces you find yourself using over and over or something that failed and replace it, go from there.
I still have a few pieces that are remnants, as long as they lasted were well worth the cost of the whole set, some of them still work, not much lost.

I went to Menards nut drivers for singles, they are a dollar cheaper and have better color on the handle than the Klein. Bought 2 new 5/16 last yr and think I lost one the first week,,, ha. I need 2 more and at least 3 new razor knives, tossed 2 defective broke ones in the scrap last week.

 

[chipper]

Here's my screwdriver drawer in my main box mostly craftsman pro and some matco

 

[sberry]

A plus for laying them flat is you can see the tips.

 

[DTB]

Craftsman Pro, Napa Carlyle, Snap On instinct, and a few older Napa and Craftsman thrown in there.

 

[RX-KING]

Update my collection

 

[Clamback]

Stahlwille screwdrivers from the 70's.

Found these in a Volkswagen.

Looking for another set like it.

 

[Brians VWss]

Back in the day mid to late 90s I picked up 2 sets of Matco screw drivers. Orange set was for work and green set for the house.Black and green Snapon ratcheting drivers Then of course the standard Craftsman
