The bottom one came with Evinrude and Johnson outboard motors (same thing - different paint)

Re: Check this out
Compared to other Ford tools, those T screwdrivers are hard to come by. The wood handles don't have a great survival rate.
The inevitable often happens.

I got it from a HUGE vendor of tools in the area before you cross the overhead walkway.

Re: Check this out
Well, they may be scarce, but I have two of 'em! Took a while, but I found 'em. One is in slightly better cosmetic condition than the other, but both are decent anyway.

I know the one you mean, and HUGE is the right word. But I bet he doesn't have a lot of T screwdrivers.

Re: Check this out
The Ford screwdriver I had was used as a chisel in its latter days. So much for the wooden handle.

Re: Check this out
Does the T screwdriver have a steel hex cap set into the end of the wood handle? The driver I have looks like the T driver in the pic, has a wood handle with steel hex end and it's a solid part of the square driver shaft. This seems to be a good feature for sensing the spark voltage when using the screwdriver to seek out faulty plugs on a running engine. jb

Re: Check this out
I wonder how many times my hands have gone up the screwdriver went flying! LOL Most the wood handle screwdrivers I have don't have the exposed shaft on the ends and of course the plastic ones don't ether so I don't ever think about it when I pick one up. Generally they get me when I use someone else's.jab35 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 10:44 pmDoes the T screwdriver have a steel hex cap set into the end of the wood handle?

Re: Check this out
The A model equivalent has a round shaft which also goes clear through the handle. I found one like that with a Ford script on the shaft. I didn't know that when i bought it, as it had been used as a paint stirer.
I still use modern plastic handled drivers with steel clear through the handle. These are good to hammer on when trying to unscrew wood screws which have rusted in place.
