Title: Good workmanship
Post by: john k on April 01, 2017, 09:16:50 PM

I dug this forged screwdriver out of a bucket.  He did a real good job with the wrap, and welded the tail down.  It is bent, but who knows what it has done in the past 90 years.  I smith and felt this was really good craftsmanship.  agree?

That does look like nice work.  Think that extra bend is some prior use prybar work.   :sad:

The same company that made the ACME twist handle wrenches made screwdrivers in this style, so it is likely a factory made item.
