The blue hex/male socket handle was originally a magnetic tip screwdriver. I have the whole set of those screwdrivers. But more importantly, Awesome video! Thank you for your attention to detail on how to do this. Much appreciated 👍🏼
@@fflife6730 I hope it works well for you, if you want them harder or softer look at the colours on a tempering steel colour chart there is plenty on image searches.
@@acsmakeandrepair3252 You offer a lot of great advice on your channel. Just my good fortune stumbling across one of your videos I guess. Subscribed immediately. Great content. I wish you a million subscribers. And thanks for the response.
I have so many screwdrivers that people have chucked because the end is buggerd up that it's absolutely ridiculous. I haven't bought a regular or phillips screwdriver since probably the 80s. I've turned a lot of them into other tools such as chisled, gouges, mini prybars, punches, awls, picks, just about anything you can think of. They're also good for using their handles for other things such as files. I even made my dad an entire set of screwdrivers with any size you could ever need
@@Gator-357 sounds great thanks for your comments and inputs, I'll have to try this pry bar one, I have used them for other stuff too.kind regards Arthur
Hollow grind the tips so that the end fits the slot of the screw square, minimum force needed pushing into the head and less likely to slip out like a chisel shape does.
Okay I'll keep that in mind for next time, I checked a few tempering charts and blue seemed fine going by the chart and the ones I have done seem ok, but thanks anyway, I try not to be to proud to learn.

@@VinnyCB2112 that's correct Vinny, good point.
You're welcome sir, happy screwing 👍.
Taking it to blue is just a bit too far. It should be a straw color.
