Ohh I can play this game. I have the same Craftsman Professional screwdrivers, as well as a very long Husky USA bit-driver. And the big one is an old Israeli UMT double-handed screwdriver

edit: added close up of UMT handle

That bit driver would be great to have even if it was rarely used.
I guess it would also work as a 1/4 nutdriver.

Years ago, I knew a guy that was in sales for Stanley. He had a giant novelty screwdriver about 5 feet long. He couldn't get me one, though. The whole thing was giant; the handle was about 3" in diameter. I do have a couple long electrician screwdrivers, probably about 16" long. Real handy for tightening up the screws to secure a TV wall bracket after adjusting it.

I only have two that qualify. Believe it or not that CM is pretty straight. I don't think it's been used as a pry bar. I have Mayhew Dominator pry bars that look like screwdrivers but they're technically not.

How do you like that grip compared to other screwdrivers?

As you can see, that Koken hasn't been used much. But I do like the handle. It's like a cross between a Felo and a hard handle. The square near the shaft is comfortable (to me) like my Willians and Tektons yet in the palm it has a more rounded feel similar to the Ergonic but not squishy.

Because I was focusing on that handle, I was reminded of a set of what I assume are cheap Asian screwdrivers that my ex left behind. I just put them in a box of unused tools and thought of them as screwdrivers to abuse when needed. Some are in my road box also. Anyway....those handles are incredibly similar. The Koken is clearly marked "Japan" and there no makers marks anywhere on the set. So now I really don't know what to make of either the Kopken or the unbrandeds. The ones from the set are losing their nubs.

My Wiha 1/4" insert bit holder screwdriver is the longest screwdriver I have. It's about exactly 6' long. I apologize in advance for the pics, my camera is currently set up more for macro photography and I didn't want to change it.

If I'm honest, I don't use this bit handle much. The tool is so long compared to the diameter of the shaft, that it often takes one additional full handle revolution before I notice the screw I'm installing has already seated itself fully and stopped turning. It has the same issue when I'm trying to break a tight screw loose.

I'm not exactly sure this fits here but some years ago I had the
occasion to need a screw driver over 2 feet in length.
I took a cheap Phillips and jammed it into a piece of poly pipe
and got the job done.
👏
Hey there comes those times that one has to improvise (y) in order to accomplish the task at hand....when the proper tool(s) is not readily available. :dunno:

I don't really own any of the amazing super long screwdrivers you guys have been posting, so when I saw this thread I decided to have a little fun "making the most" of what I do have. The attached image shows my real 16.5" long Wiha bit handle. That's the bit handle I used to make my previous post, and I think it's the longest bit handle Wiha actually makes. I took multiple pictures of only the Wiha shaft, moving the tape measure each time to make the shaft appear really long. I was just messing with you guys.

I was wondering why a google search for that 1829mm model came up empty. :lol:
I basically have the Wiha catalog downloaded to my brain and knew i never saw this.
You monkey!
That being said, if it existed, and was a decent price (or not) im sure plenty of us would own one by now. :ROFLMAO:

Something did seem a little fishy about your screwdriver. I think we got screwed.

Forgot I had this 22” beryllium copper alloy screwdriver, made by Berylco.

That's an anti-spark tool, I believe.

The longest screwdriver I have is a Proto 1/2" keystone with a 12" shank. Thus far, I've never needed a longer one. I have been known to string together a bunch of bit holders though. Now I'm looking for super long screwdrivers....just in case.
