Save wood handles on screwdrivers?

[Doug Hobkirk]

Hey, these are primitive screwdrivers! They have great feel but the wood handles are hurting big time. Is there anything I can do?

I have seen an article on making new scales for the handles. Not sure if it was here or at one of the other sites. I think they are called "perfect handle" screw drivers.

Check out a knife building supply webpage. I used Koval knives a lot. There are different rivets available to attach handles. I often made my own from threaded brass rod and solid brass.

Make some new scales. epoxy on, attach rivets and shape to suit.
