The bottom one is a Klein, the rest are all Quick-Wedge.

It's an addiction I tell you!   :rolleyes:

I find the phillips' and the one hex starter on top to be the most often helpful.

I have a Craftsman that I bought new a bunch of years ago. I like it and use it quite a bit for getting screws started. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen.

 :smiley:  Nice.   I have used mine a lot over the years, but tried not to beat them up.   They are great for starting screws, but once it's in the hole i always switch to a regular screwdriver.

Just found another Quik-Wedge and a WF Craftsman phillips (below the VACO and allen wrench handle). Interesting hourglass slim section on the WF. Hmm.
$1 for the pair.

The little spring arms were very popular on both straight and phillips from what i've seen.

I just happen to have these on my desk today to be put up for sale.  The black lump at the top of first pic is my cat Odin.  Desktop is his favorite place to lay in the sun and get a view of what's going on outside.
