I've had a few of those sets pass through my hands over the years. Some versions have a small hammer as the main part, with the screwdrivers nesting in the handle.

The concept has been around for quite a while.  I thought I remembered an ad, & a quick google / books search turned up a 1918 description -- I condensed the pertinent parts into a single image.  E. Edelman produced a wide range of hardware specialties.
