- Here's a review and comparison of a wide variety of stubby and small screwdrivers. These are different from Precision screwdrivers as all of these are just standard acetate handle screwdrivers that are either short or very compact.
Husky HD74501 S, 681-107, 636-355, 636-080, 687-957, 687-926, 687-912, 693-208, 673-962, 693-266.
Craftsman 41542, 41293, 4151, 41555.
Stanley 64-105, 3012. Challenger 7551. XceLite S-5161. BlackHawk ST 1145. Coast to Coast 300-9503. Rosco VL210. . .
I love the aesthetic of the Craftsman red/blue/clear handles. Not sure why but I like it.
I feel the same way about the Stanley/Blackhawk Yellow/Black/Clear acetate hangles.
EscapeVelo them Klein's are snazzy too.
@@baggins1 The soft grips dont last as long as the straight acetate handles though.
Pratt & Reed are like the Kleins but you can pull off the rubber handle if you don't like it and I agree I like the black and yellow drivers they have a really good look.
@@CatusMaximus I like that one with the smoke on the backend of the yellow acetate handle in your video.
I ordered a complete set of the Duralast 36T ratchets from Autozone.com and they shipped 72T models instead. Which is disappointing. Im looking at Carlyle now.
You have a nice collection of screw drivers
:)
IT is great that you can find just the driver you need now a days, at many more places.
I am glad we don't have to buy. sets to get the one we need.
Another good video, thanks.
Thank you and yes it does get annoying when you have to buy sets just to get a certain piece
A very nice selection. Eyeglasses don't use a true Phillips OOO but the have their own version.
I didn't know eyeglasses use a special little Phillips
Hi
About the 14:00 minute mark, you refer to a Rosco vl210 screwdriver.
I'm nearing the completion of collecting all of the pieces of that particular line. The vl210 would complete it.
Would you be interested in selling that particular screwdriver?
Thank you.
I like the newer handle design with the triple sides (or even the square sides), which give much greater grip for improved torque...especially with oily or wet hands. The hexagon or octogon classic style acetate handled screwdrivers leave something to be desired in the grip and torque department.
I also like the try cited drivers although depending on the specific handle design some do work much better than others
I have some of those! ,, like the little Husky precision and the Picquic precision. You might want to check out the Picquic "Multique" for a small tweeker terminal driver. And the Picquic "Dash" is just awesome and falls into this range for sure.
Picquic stubby's made in canada are by far the best!
Thanks great video and did you do a video on pocket screwdrivers
I only think I have one or two pocket screwdrivers I'll take a look
the USA Husky screwdrivers are made by Western forge and are the same as you can get from Craftsman.
These don't always say USA on them, if they say WF or WFII...ect it was made in the USA by Western Forge.
I do believe however that if you get a craftsman or husky screwdriver set they're either all US made or none, I'm not sure why WF sometimes doesn't put USA on the little ones.
BTW of those two unmarked ones, the one with the reddish black paint on the end of the handle is a FULLER, I've got a few of them around from a set my grandmother had.
Thank you for the good comment and for letting me know which one was the Fuller
@@CatusMaximus
No problem.
The tips seem decent, but I don't really like the handles so I rarely use them.
My little set of the Husky's were fully US made, also have a matching set of Craftsman's that are marked WF. Some of the Husky sets that might get marked US with global materials of whatever they wrote, said so because they were also packaged with offset drivers or the little keychain drivers that were made in Taiwan; the actual screwdrivers themselves were still 100% US made. Unfortunately not gonna find them so easy anymore, Western Forge being dead means husky is Taiwan built now with slightly different handles (again)

And ideal just shut down America's oldest screwdriver manufacturer Pratt-Read too, a real shame.
That pretty much means nobody who doesn't manufacturer screwdrivers in house will likely be offering any domestically made.
@@TylerSnyder305 I think Ideal moved the factory when they bought them. The US plant won't be shut down; however they're stopping contract manufacturing and focusing solely on the Ideal brand. Basically, USA Pratt-Read drivers are to *only* be sold under the Ideal name from now on. Weird to hear but at least they can technically still be bought.
This is really Nice video review 😎👍
Outstanding!!! My fav right now is the HF/Pittsburgh 3-in-1 Multi Bit Stubby #65062 $2.99; paired with the HF/Warrior 3 pc Hex Drill Socket Driver Set (in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2) #63909 $0.99-$3.99. The driver just fits/feels right in my hand. However, I do mod the driver slightly by adding a 3/8” long piece of heat shrink over the black metal retaining clip. Just in case the clip decides it wants to get up and leave one day.
That's a good idea with the shrink tubing
Do they make these anymore? I found the stubby blue husky around the house. I am curious to why they don’t sell these at stores
They do still sell them at hardware store so just not very common anymore
..Hey, man...that stubby yellow one with the red on the end of the handle is a Fuller, U.S.A., circa late 1970's-1980's. I have a few I bought new-they are good screwdrivers, but the "FULLER" name was stamped lightly on them and tended to become hard to read/unreadable after some use, the red coloring on the end of the handle tended to wear off, too...not sure about the other yellow-handled one, maybe an old Irwin, I have some older Irwins with handles similar to it.....
Thank you
keep up the good work
Thank you
the older husky and craftsmans are made by pratt read and western forge
Toolbox/mancave tour?
In due time
My wife's sewing macine came with pathetic set of screwdrivers for servicing the machine got her a set of the super stubbys she loves them.
:)
I'm always on the hunt for the unusual smaller screwdrivers! I always feel a man can never have to many of these screwdrivers...that picquic multi-bit screwdriver has been tremendously handy I must say. I believe Western Forge was the o.e.m. for the Craftsman and Husky screwdriver lineup before they decided to outsource from China.
They're still producing them for Craftsman, but I don't know about Husky.
Tyler Snyder Last Christmas season I decided to pickup a a few of the Craftsman screwdriver sets as gifts. Unfortunately all the screwdriver sets were made in China! I was able to find two new-old stock sets on the back of the shelf. I encountered the same deal with the Husky sets...only the huge screwdriver sets were the only ones made in the USA.

That's not the case anymore, Western Forge is producing them currently, and my local hardware always has a steady stock of them.
I really like the smaller screwdrivers as well. I have no idea Western Forge such a large contract manufacturer I'm learning there's a lot of those types of manufacturers.

the last orange stubby is my favorit
...somebody missed with their hammer and hit their thumbnail? Ouch!
