How is it that I can stop by the flea on the afternoon of the third day, walk up to the screwdriver box at the dollar table and see a Plomb #9706 screwdriver on the top of the pile? Six inch handle and six inch blade. Steel cap is tight, and the blade tip is crisp. Only a 1/2" crack at the ferrule.
Now, it's mine. Naturally.

Hello, Northwoods. Good score!!! You have a good eye for well made tools that have survived!!! Regards, Lou

When I sold tools at swap meets this year (4 times) screwdrivers were one of the least interesting boxes for people browsing. I had low prices, too. One box of drivers was 3/$1 and only had one sale.

The perfect guy to get the tool and save it for future use. :smiley:

I have found very few Plomb screwdrivers over the years. All the ones I have found had plastic handles. Never have found a wooden handled one, but have found several Proto wood handled ones. I have had many Plomb tools over the years, but I only collect Plomb ratchets. I have been selling all the other Plomb tools to generate money for other tools. I like Proto tools a lot. I don't collect P&C brand tools, but have over 400 of them.

I’ve managed to find some Plomb screwdrivers.

Found another one Friday. A 6" Phillips No. 9782.
Only one problem. My Plomb turned out to be a Proto Los Angeles.
Cleaned, oiled, and waxed it. Looks like a Plomb now. ;-)
