Was at an estate sale this afternoon and snapped up what I initially believed to be a Plomb wooden handled screwdriver.
It is 23 1/2" long with a flat tip, a square shank, the familiar 8-sided grip, and the steel end cap.
The lettering was too cruddy to read. I should have been put off by the slight barrel shape of the handle (which accounts for a full 9" of its length) and the fact that it has 3 grooves instead of the single one found on Plomb screwdrivers.
Cleaned it up and found it to be MASTER-GRIP WILDE K.C.M.O.
I am familiar with Wilde tools, especially their channel pliers. But can find no info on the web about a Wilde screwdriver. I have contacted the manufacturer, which has moved to Hiawatha, Kansas, here in Northwoods country.
I hope that one of you folks can get me the info before Wilde does.
I see no reson to believe it is connected with the imported Master Grip screwdrivers currently available.
Any thoughts?
