Who has one still?
Without Google, how many people know what one is?

Dad had one. I never saw him use it. I cannot honestly say that I have it somewhere around or not.

Somewhere around here I have a Craftsman version of one. It never did work very well so I seldom used it.

I have my Dad's. He used it all the time installing door hardware in new buildings. Now, you can't find someone that has a regular screw driver, everything has a battery on it.

Thanks M stevenson.
My tools take the old round shank bits with the notch at the bottom, not the newer ones that were hex-shaped.
I have 1 that's about 3-1/2 to 4 inches long and has a standard straight bit. My Dad had all the bits, but after he died the tools got moved and the bits got lost. He had 3 Philips and 3 straight bits for each tool. Now I have only the ones in the tools all the others were lost. So if I could find any I would be a happy camper.

I have 2. I do not use them much but did in the past

Best place for replacement bits is making them. Use old screwdriver bits or a little machine work on some round stock and you have it .

Dad’s is from the mid 60’s and has the round shank with the notch, I can’t guarantee finding them, but I’ll PM you if I do.

I think I got one - I got everything else.

Update > I found it under the grand piano in a large yellowed plastic tube (never opened) - 24" length.
A true 'object de arte' - beautiful wood grained handle. Probably 40 years old.

I Have a few - small to large - old stuff handed down from Dad and Granddad. Hardly use them now. Do the 70 year-old types have any collector value?
