Vintage SK Screwdrivers

[Rusty Musket]

picked up this lot yesterday!

 

[maddawg308]

When did S-K make the green-white handled screwdrivers? Timeframe?

 

[ganymede]

Started sometime in the Wayne era. Dont know when they stopped, maybe mid 80's. ?

 

[bonneyman]

I'd be willing to bet S-K changed to the dark green handles when FACOM took them over in 1985.

 

[slob]

I'm pretty sure sure they were available simultaneously well into the 90's and the green/white handle were replaced by the green/yellow handle style at that point.

 

[bluebolt]

A generous soul on here already gave me a lifetime supply of those!

LOL so what did you think when Red Leader sent you some more LOL. Did you know they came from me before you got them? Now I suppose you want that 1930's Pontiac dealership light I have!

Dan has some SK like those for sale, I wobbled about buying them and decided I needed to find them on my own for full satisfaction.

I also found a guy on ebay in Canada with NOS, but $15 shipping on top of a moderate prices killed my enthusiasm, along with no fun in hunting them down.

I have a nice condition long shaft bit holder, and just bought a worn 1/4 drive spinner. No sensible reason for wanting them, but I do.

Just trying to make some room for more tools-still have these available for any users/collectors who have not found what they need to satisfy their sets?? Can sell seperately or whole bunch-PM me with questions/concerns/prices/trades etc.--I also have two 10 gallon tubs of sockets/wrenches/breakers/spinners ALL S-K older tools if there is any interest-wayyy to much to list-PM if interested with needs by part # etc.--Check out the pictures and LMK.......Cranky

I want a set of those vintage SK !

 

[Rcgman]

SK should release the clear green vintage screwdrivers as a limited run. Similar to the green metal socket boxes they re-released a few years back.

Likely from after the Vanadium Tool Company was purchased by a former S-K executive...

Are they 4 sale if so how much

Greg, welcome to the GJ. The thread you posted on was last posted to in 2019. It’s unlikely that you will get a response.

Thank you!

I recommend checking out the main S-K thread in the vintage forum which can be found in the sticky at the beginning of the forum. In the meantime, here are a few S-K drivers I’ve found over time.
Spinners, older to newer. The solid green is S-K Wayne. The green and white spinners are quite common

I know old thread, but I found these two large SK screwdrivers at the EAA Oshkosh flea market a while back. The bottom driver is just for size reference.
