Yankee Screwdrivers: Yankee Screwdriver, Push Screwdriver, Pump Action Scre

Improved Yankee-Style Screwdrivers
Now better than ever ( 15 Customer Reviews )

The familiar rotating-barrel Yankee screwdriver, famous for decades, is no longer made by Stanley UK, but now a respected German manufacturer has taken this design and improved it. It has replaced the usual round notched collet-chuck (that held just a few bit sizes) with a modern hex chuck that will hold hundreds of familiar 1/4" hex bits. This is great news for the thousands of woodworkers who have loved and missed this tool.

The two sizes mirror the two smaller Stanley sizes and are the most popular. The smaller size is 12" long fully extended and the medium is 17-3/4" fully extended. Both have a 3-position selector—locked, spiral-in and spiral-out—as well as a barrel lock in the fully retracted position, and come with 3 bits (they are double ended so you get 3 slotted and 3 Phillips). Any of the hex bits in our 102 Bit Set (shown) fit the chucks. These are mechanically complex tools, precision crafted in Germany.

Awesome!
Reviewed By:	Stacey (Wichita, Kansas)
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! Response By: Garrett Wade Tech Department 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
Reviewed By:	Ian Cunningham (Alice Springs, Northern Territory)
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.
