Thread: Spiral Screwdriver Collection

Yes please - this is precisely what us OCD types like to see on here.

I’m more CDO; but yeah I’d love to see your collection!

Yes please, I still use mine

Not much of a collection. Two Stanley Yankees ...



An old photo - the wall has since changed ...

The original cordless screwdrivers. I loved using the Yankee screwdrivers, except when they exited the screw slot, usually a few choice words were aired! If only we had a choice of philips, pozidrive, etc screws back in the 1970's then perhaps there would have been far less colourful language coming from chippies.

I would love to view your collection.

ok, thanks for the interest... here we go...

There are some other odds and sods that came along with the OCD too... some very early screwdrivers and some Millers Falls planes.


Looks a little small - is the 800x600 image size actually enforced ?

Some interesting ones in that collection that I have never seen before. incidently, OCD also short for Occasional Collectors Dilemma

I guess, for those with severe OCD tendencies, i can send the full res image to you. Just PM me with an email address.. its about 11mb

also have a spreadsheet with all the details too ��

cheers

Mal, you've got some beauties there, I noticed a pair of A H Reid's up the back and a nice Decatur Coffin Co in the middle of the front row.
When we built our house in Karratha in 1978, the cabinet maker that did the kitchen fit-out used a Yankee screwdriver exclusively.
Thanks for showing your collection.

Cheers,
Geoff.

Thanks Bob, that works a treat....

"If only we had a choice of philips, pozidrive, etc screws back in the 1970's", we did, I have both from my days as a apprentice, the Pozidriv bit was given to me by the Howard Silvers rep they were the original importers Phillips bits came with a new Yankee.

And some push drills and tools-in-handles, and is that a set of Warren interchangeable chisels in the box up top right?

I just upload my full resolution image. That will place a thumbnail in the post, which when clicked on by a user, it will open a higher resolution version.
