| One of the nicest gifts I've ever received |

| My only regret about this tool is I don't (yet) have both sizes! Like any other screwdriver or tool, sometimes you need more space, so I need to pick up the smaller one as well. As with other reviewers, I have several old Yankees with few bits. I got some of the adapters, which work well enough, but add a bit of length. These complete Yankees with hex adapters are just superior. The bit locks in firmly, and everything about them feels beefy. It just works. |

| This tool has been manufactured like in the tools in the old days - solid, heavy-duty, great performance! It even sounds heavy-duty and you know it is going to last forever! It fits my hand easily and makes drilling starter holes so much better. I had been using a Stanley hand-type drill for the past couple of years, which is plastic and already has a loose feel to the ratcheting part. I am very excited about finding this Yankee-style screwdriver at Garrett Wade. I am a first-time customer and will certainly return when I need other tools. Their shipping is very fast and their choice of products is wonderful - even when just browsing. Thank you very much!! |

| Yankee Hex-bit holder |
| Reviewed By: |
Glenn (Redondo Beach, CA) |
My Yankee happens to be older than I, so it is about 60. But the half moon socket tips were very expensive, or didn't exist anymore. So when I got the Garrett Wade catalog and it had an adapter for hex bits, I jumped on it. Batteries never die, can drive fairly large screws all day long. I carry a battery powered driver, but will never dump my Yankee!

We still have some of the German-made "half moon” bits that fit the original Small Stanley Yankee 135. A set of six (3 common, 3 Phillips) bits with a shaft diameter of 0.212”. GW item number 08C01.04 |

| Quality screw driver |

| The screw driver was put to work as soon as it arrived. It's a pleasure to use this quality tool and the chuck accommodates a whole range of bits.
Destined to be one of my favorites. |

| I have an original Yankee in my shop. I always admired its ease and simplicity. Unfortunately I haven’t used it in some time as all the bits have been broken, lost, or worn out. I wanted this simply because it uses the same hex-drive bits we have accepted as all but universal.
I didn’t expect the overall quality to so far exceed the original. In fit, finish and feel this is one fantastic piece of hardware. It has an absolutely flawless mechanism, and with a little practice is an absolute joy to use.
This can really make short work for a myriad of shop and field work. It is indispensible in my opinion for tradesman such as Electricians, Appliance installers and repairman, Carpenters, HVAC Techs, Plumbers, and Computer and electronics repair and install.
Fantastic tool, as always I am very satisfied with your products and service.
Edward
