What drivers has it got?

Post by: Neil on July 15, 2009, 12:22:38 AM: A phillips 2 and 3, flat 2 and 3.

It just looks wrong, more like a little alien probe than a screwdriver. :ahhh

Post by: J-sews on July 17, 2009, 03:25:47 AM: Wow! Very cool Neil. :tu: Can't say as I've ever seen one before. :) How old do you figure it is?

And: The very look of it suggests to me that the ol' SwissTech ScrewBall was NOT an entirely original idea. ::) :D

Post by: Chako on July 18, 2009, 02:39:37 PM: I was at the local ex Radioshack aka The Source, and saw this exact same screwdriver, or something so alike it could be considered its brother. It was in one of those no descriptive gray packages that people buy for gifts for others. I think they wanted 20 for one.
