SK screw drivers

[Busted Bolts]

I was cleaning up some tools last night and I noticed on the handle in small print "FRANCE" These were the solid green (similar to old SO handle), and have the welded driver shaft to the handle hex. I bought a set of phillips and slotted in trays back in the early 90's. Were these made by FACOM? sorry no Pics, camera is down. thanks for your input

I think this is the type of screwdriver the OP is referring to. I didn't see them on the Bost website.

Anybody know if there is anywhere to get the green hard handle screwdrivers for a decent price.

+1,000

I've only been lucky enough to find a loose flat head on the sears clearance shelf. That screwdriver is awesome, if I can't find a full set in the near future I just have to break down and buy the snap on hard handles.

Is $20 a piece a good price? BTW I love these screwdrivers its a shame whats replacing them.

That is the screw driver I was talking about.

Try ebay but, they're not worth $20 a shot by any stretch of my imagination.

they are nice screwdrivers but you can get a set for like 55-60. i have them s k suregrips and i like them alot.

ooops i thought about the green soft handle drivers, the predecessor of the blue SK drivers (Expert2).
But technically they´re Facom/Stanley anyway

Great screwdriver, wasn't crazy and about the handle shape

Is it just me, or do they look a lot squarer than the old Snap-on hard handles that they look so much like?

 

[Hoss356]

That may just be the picture. I really like the shape and feel of it, you can get a really good purchase on it without a white knuckle death grip.

So who made them?? The only problem I have had is the shaft breaks at the weld where the hex is at the bottome of the handle. Repl 2 only in 19 yrs

 

[Busted Bolts]

I think he meant they look simlar to the older SO hardhandles

I have the long cabinet type screwdriver set. 4 of them are made in France and 1 is made in the USA. The USA one is rusting already, go figure.

 

[Busted Bolts]

I always thought they were made in USA, but to my surprise they were not
