Heavy-Duty Screwdrivers: Wood-Handled Screwdrivers, Standard Head Screwdriv

Extra Heavy Duty Screwdriver Set
Historically the most rugged wood-grip screwdrivers in the world ( 25 Customer Reviews )

These heavy-duty tools have an unusual history. Made in the USA for many decades, they were standard equipment in all US Army tanks, but disappeared from the market over 20 years ago. Now we have found them again.

You can do absolutely anything with these tools - turn, pry, excavate, pound - whatever you can come up with. The four are 6, 8, 10 and 12". Solid forged steel from tip to top with rugged lacquered wooden grips - not very pretty, but then again you don't have to "baby" them. Imported.

Perfect Drivers
Reviewed By:	Art Gumbus (Stratford, CT)
The Garrett Wade set of Perfect Handle screw drivers is just about as close as one could get for a modern version of the old H.D. Smith Perfect Handle drivers. The set is composed of 4 flat blade drivers. Each driver is well made and is shipped in oiled plastic bag assembled in a thin cardboard box. The fit and feel of the drivers is good and is easily improved as follows... I just rub the wood with 0000 steel wool which knocks down any varnish whiskers. The result is a great feeling wooden handle. Overall I give these reproductions 5 stars and applaud Garrett Wade for searching out and carrying them.

Can Be Improved
Reviewed By:	John T. (Rockford, Illinois)
I agree with Bob that packaging has a lot to be desired a Garrett Wade would be smart to listen the suggestion it be improved. Mine arrived very dirty in plastic bags. I also agree with the comment that if one is going to give them as a gift, I would recondition the tools (at least wipe the dirt off the tool handles) & repackage. These are not made with the care of a USA made tool but functional, tough, and a good value. A handy person can also make them into a very nice looking set of tools with a little bit of effort. (Stain & finish the handles, touch up the rough grinding work) Response By: Garrett Wade Tech Department Thank you so much for taking the time to post about the screwdriver set. We are sincerely very sorry to hear that the tools arrived dirty and not packed very well. We have forwarded your suggestion to our warehouse manager. They have been oiled by the manufacturer but have made it known to him that around the holidays it is very important that an item arrives in clean condition. Thank you for bringing this oversight to our attention.
