Cabinet Maker's Screwdrivers

 I've wanted a set of Gunsmith type screwdrivers for a while now. Decided I was probably not the only person that might want a really nicely made set of drivers that did not have the pitfalls of the previous drivers I had owned for cabinet making.

What were the pitfalls? 

Well number one the taper tips that would mar the sides of the hardware screw slots. When I was a full time furniture maker I had set up screws I would use to position and prove out hardware locations. After finishing the piece I would then use the screws that came with the hardware so the slots wouldn't be so beat up from the initial installation.

Magnetic tips. If you used steel wool in any of the rub out steps in finishing your project then every time you put down the screw driver debris from the steel wool would cling to the tip.😒

Drivers that roll and fall off your workbench. This aggravates me to no end. The older I get the worse I abhor screwdrivers that do this. Square handle drivers aren't as prone to this but also are not as nice in hand either. If I'm doing this I want the best of both worlds.

I spent a lot of time thinking about the configuration of the screwdrivers and the processes required to create a set that are as beautiful to behold as they are nice to use.

The picture shows 2 sets of these drivers. One with Olive wood handles and the other with handles of a green pearl acrylic polymer. I'm offering these in the same handle materials available for my chisels

The tips of these screwdrivers are in the gunsmith style with hollow ending in a parallel tip. Sized to fit the screw sizes I mentioned very well.

The handles are a modified version of my chisel handles. A bit larger diameter and a larger hosel rise for apply force need to drive screws.

The video shows the anti roll feature of these drivers. The geometry of these drivers creates that tool that's not really prone to rolling but a strategically placed flat on the bottom cause it to settle as you can see in the video.

The first couple sets of these sold very quickly. If interested in acquiring individual or sets of these tools you can contact me thru the email link located at the Contact Info button at the top of the page.
