A different garage sale screwdriver
« on: April 23, 2018, 04:07:47 PM »
I picked this screwdriver up at a garage sale and only noticed it because of the Utica box.  It is a Utica Torque Screwdriver TS30.  It take the normal hex bits.  Even had the instructions with it.

Wow, it looks pretty complex. How old do you figure it is?

Hello, Looks like a Triangle logo on the box. I found the following on Alloy Artifacts;

In 1956 Utica was purchased by the Kelsey-Hayes Company, and Utica continued operations as the Utica Tool Division of the parent. In 1961 Kelsey-Hayes added to its tool division by acquiring the Herbrand Automotive Tool line from the Bingham-Herbrand Corporation, and in the summer of 1962 the Utica-Herbrand operations were moved to a new factory in Orangeburg, South Carolina. (See our article on Herbrand for more information on this interesting tool company.

Kelsey-Hayes made one more addition to its tool company roll-up with the 1964 acquisition of Bonney Forge & Tool Works. (See our article on Bonney for more information.)

In 1967 Kelsey-Hayes sold its tool division to the Triangle Corporation, and the renamed Utica Tool Company operated as a division of Triangle for a number of years. Triangle was later acquired by Cooper Tools.
