Could this be a Craftsman?
« on: March 21, 2015, 05:30:27 PM »
I had showed yall the top screwdriver a couple years ago and it says Craftsman on it. I found this stubby today but it has zero markings on it, so could it be a craftsman? The colors match so that's why I bought it. The design isn't and exact match though.

I'd guess those originated from the same place.

That, however, doesn't necessarily make the stubby a Craftsman!

OK, I get what your saying. Possibly made by the same company but for different businesses.

Often the pattern and look is unique to Craftsman, but not always.
If is a common tool I think it is more likely to be a unique Craftsman look.

If it is a four way screwdriver, or precision tool, or something less common like that, my experience is that it will look like the manufacturers tool with a Craftsman brand on it.

I think you have a better than 50% chance it is a Craftsman. The only problem is that the pattern of the handle is different.

I checked Craftsman catalogs back to 1949 and they all have plastic. I assume it is  an earlier tool.
