Lovely tool, may I suggest it would be even more wonderful with another 3/8 drive on the end of the handle? Then it also becomes a magnificent extension tool. 👍

The fact that HtR didn't use a universal joint socket adaptor to be able to tighten that screw from a distance AND at an angle proves he has a lot to learn in the ways of socket-fu.

I worked on an engine once and a snap on version of this with the 3/8 drive slot in the back was stuck under the radiator. Amazingly useful tool until it decided to leave me for someone else just as it did to the previous owner. I think of it fondly sometimes and hope the next guy is treating it well. Oh yeah and I would love to see that feature on this too.

I have exactly one Snap-On item in my toolbox, and it's their version of this tool that is as you describe - socket driver handle with the 3/8" receiver in the handle end so it can double as an extension. I wouldn't trade that thing for love or money. It's the greatest tool ever made as far as I'm concerned. 🙂

My dad had two snap on drive handles and the two matching ratchets they were designed to use with them. He lost one handle, but still had the ratchets. I got creative and bought an extension plus an old style snap on screwdriver handle and after a little drilling, made my own handle. I absolutely loved those drivers.

Yep. This is what I was going to say.

I have to have one of these! I’m long since retired from bending wrenches for a living but this has to be in my toolbox when my sons fight over my tools when I’m dead!

"Perfection at all times" Those are words to work by. Love the channel, the tools are just beautiful.

Just received one of these sensual beauties for my anniversary(5th, which is the wood one, so I have the cherry handle!) from my lovely wife! Delightful, and may have led to other "things" when she heard the way I was describing it ;P Thank you for crafting a great addition to my toolbox, as well as the memory!

My profession centers around making processes as streamlined and efficient as possible. Your method for driving that screw at the beginning is as close to perfection as I have ever seen!

I got absolutely shit blasted late last night, watched this video, and ordered the solid steel driver! Best irresponsible purchase I’ve ever done. Actually pretty excited for it to come in. 10/10 would drunk purchase again, thanks HTR!

Pretty cool. Would have been excellent if it had the ability to attach a socket wrench to the bottom of the driver to double as an extension

Love it. I could watch that machining all day.

Ordered the Cherry one. When it gets here I'm clearing out an entire drawer of nut drivers and throwing away the cheap plastic socket handle I've had for years. Mine arrived today, a week ahead of schedule. Beautifully made. Smooth as can be handle. I am thrilled!!!

I don’t really order things from KZreadrs or even anything from everywhere, but I made sure to order this and a wrench from you. I’ve been watching for years, after every bad day I can come home and watch another interesting video that takes my mind off whatever happened, thank you for that.

Perfect amount of information with the right amount of brevity! Thanks for deciding to throw these videos on KZread all those years ago!!!

I just received all the screwdrivers and ratchet models, and I must say they are impressive. Great quality and functionality for sure. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to see (and buy) your next tools.

You glorious bastard, this is another Canadian plot to prize American dollars out of my pocket. IT WORKED! 👍

Adding the detent was my favorite part of the video.

The solid steel one looks like a good hammer

Hopefully we'll see a matching 1/4" drive one with a matching reciever on the handle end. Truly a glorious tool!

I love mine. This is a go-to-tool. For those times I want a ratchet, I bought a 3/8" ratcheting adapter.

HTR showing how to maintain "social-distancing" from a project.. ☺ Oh and the surface of the handle before any woods added is lookin' groovy!

i wish i could afford to put all the amazing tools you made in my tool box ... maybe one day

Looks great and functional, the recreation of old tools is not only illuminating but in a lot of ways the old tools appear to have equal functionality and of greater quality

Something for the future: Think about milling the female end of a square drive at the end of the handle on the metal one. It makes your socket driver also a ratchet extension. I have a 1/4” drive one made by Williams and it’s awesome.

I am in love with this tool ! I tipped me over the edge and I went cracy in your shop. Thank you for the content, it is allways a pleasure to watch.

Today Early morning , I was searching all My favorite KZreadrs Recent Videos ,I was Sad since I have already watched Your last upload video...And Now ,when I reopened YT got This Amazing video..Iam Comment and liking even before watching it....Love your work sir..

"Perfection in all things" is something that I try to live by. Great work!

I've been watching through your vids for a week or two and I have to say- the muffling on a lot of the really, really harsh sounds in some of the restoration works makes these incredibly comfy videos to fall asleep to and as some relaxing background noise, and is just a better way to enjoy this kind of content overall. You do excellent work, cheers!

Dude you are KIlling it! Awesome work! You are a pillar of humanity.

It looks like a design from the Irwin Perfect Grip Screwdriver, that were found in a lot of WWII Willy's Jeeps. They came with pinned flattened scales, but I restored some with Turkish walnut and rounded them as you did. I also didn't pin them. They are the best feeling and looking screwdrivers I have ever seen. Your work is beautiful.

This one's nice. I'm going to pick up two naked ones, because this can genuinely be the centerfold of a heirloom tool box.

Lovely work. I have received the blank version and just today finished addling the wooden handle. I used Sheoak, a timber local to Western Australia. Not the hardest wood (probably should have used Jarrah, another local timber) but Sheoak has the most beautiful colour and grain that perfectly complements the brass pins. When not in use, I'll hang it above workbench so it is visible.

The handle is shaped like a revolver. I’m sold.

You crack me up, I was already smiling at the intro! 🥰

As always, awesome stuff! It would be even better if the solid steel handle version had a 3/8" drive socket to attach to a rachet, making it an extension with a hand grip. I have one in 1/4", but never seen one in 3/8".

Making a square rod is very simple. But the square hole is much more complicated. And as a result, the cost of a screwdriver will be extremely high. And the screwdriver itself will lose ergonomics, because your hand will rest against a square hole measuring 9.525 millimeters.

Beautiful tools. I love incorporating wood with metal tools feels better than plastics in the hand.

Another beautiful creation from the master himself you sir are a credit to the profession

Those coils that heat it up are incredible!! I've seen similar things on HouseWork. I think he called it an induction forge. I think it uses magnetic forces/energy to heat the steel like an induction stove.

@dimitar4y

It's called an Induction Heater. It runs high frequency high amperage through the coils (hollow, water cooled so THEY don't melt). That induces a magnetic field in whatever's inside/close to the coils, causing rapid heating. They're readily available for buying from various shops. Doing it in parts might be more expensive as High Power Fast Switching transistors needed are pricey.

I have a little one sitting on my desk I use to heat my stainless dry herb vaporizer, takes 1/4 the time a butane torch does to heat the same mass and since it's a magnetic field it heats evenly through instead of only where you apply external heat. The big ones in manufacturing plants can light up inches thick bar stock almost instantly, and they only pull power when something is in the field as opposed to keeping a furnace running.
