My current set of Yankee-style drivers
« on: May 02, 2014, 09:23:28 PM »
Found another Yankee bit today (a #3 philips), so, that meant I had to haul out all the drivers to see what fit...and that meant a family pic.

1- 31A
2- 130A
1-  Handyman 133H
2-  Sears plastic handles
I has all the tips and is stock - the other I modified the handle and made an adapter for holding 1/4" square drive bit

Also have a pair of Lee valley hex bit adapters (only one is shown).

Nice set. I've never had the pleasure of actually using one of those.

Ironically, the largest one. While they don't work all that well on hex head panel screws, they are extremely nice on wood.

I had to tighten up a chair the wife bought, and I found the push action and torque perfect for installing the long wood screws.
