Mystery tool?

[steven c newman]

Maybe. In the midst of all that rust hunting, found a strange little screwdriver

Well, first off, that happens to be the longest #2 Phillips tip I have ever seen. 8" long!

Ok, back to that wee one. Rumour has it that it is a Goodell Pratt 3" screwdriver. For slotted head screws. Even has a bit of knurling on the shaft. Doubt it that is original, might be by Visegrip Jaws.

Little metal band is Brass, has quite a bit of letters stamped into it,too. Any ideas on this little fellow?

The other two came from a tool box I picked up (barely, as it was FULL) For some reason, I happen to like that style. Will add them to my growing collection.....
The little one ( GP?) came from a pile of old plumbers tools

These are the best of the bunch. He also had a 16oz hammer head, and a hatchet head. Bits, screwdriver and the two heads cost me $2.

So, anybody ever see a little driver like that? :confused:

Rumour Control says that the wee screwdriver is a Goodell Pratt No. 278, Rosewood handled Pocket Screwdriver. Still waiting on the vinegar soak to finish on the bits, before I try to find out what they are...

There was a pair of needle nose pliers in the tool box. 6" pair, without a wire cutter. Made/sold by H. Boker, USA 5386-6

About half the bits will need the cutting spurs redone....The one odd ball bit is a 1/4" bit.

Steven,

I had to comment. I have a H. Boker, 5336-6. It is configured like needle nose, except that the nose is wide and flat instead of pointed. It also has a wire cutter. Nice pliers. I have had them for over 40 years and they were old when I got them. Enjoy.

This is mine, after a clean up was done to it..

Along with a pair of Diagonal cutters. Needle nose was in that black plastic tool box. Still working on cleaning up the rest of that box's contents...

That plier design is commonly called "duck bill," for obvious reasons when you look at one. I used to wonder why they were made until I owned a pair. Needle nose pliers tend to twist when you use them for, say, twisting wires. Duck bills won't.
