Pen T-handle screwdriver
on: June 07, 2023, 09:27:05 AM
Many months ago I was talking to a friend at work about tools. We got to talking about bit ratchets. He was interested in buying one. The next day I brought a few of mine at work so he could see up close what they had to offer. I showed him the PrestaCycle and he really liked it.

And we talked about an obscure pen driver that can also go in T-handle configuration.

Today he gave gave me one! :D
He found a couple of second-hand ones and got one for me too.
It has no retention, and uses double-ended bits with ball detent. Great size and robustness. The pocket clip is a little flimsy but it is a nice edc tool.

Nice one. Makes sense with that combination of T and pen. Torque when you need it, and takes little space at other times.

Blimey - I wish I'd known this existed before I went and bought a set of those Fix-It Stix - Compared to this, they're like carrying around a pair of crowbars!!

I like the flat-sided profile, as it looks like you could get a decent grip on that.
Is there any branding?

It's pretty nifty.  :D
No branding or any writing on it whatsoever.

I forgot to mention that the part with the two slots has two ball bearings on it. So there is retention when closed and when open.  :cheers:

Is that a square or hex hole in the top of that?

I used one of these as a FF/EMT. It carried easily in my turnout pocket and got used a LOT! I still have it somewhere...I need to move it into my bag :cheers:
