I bought mine new about 45 years ago in a combo set at Sears! It is about the only tool from that set that I still have. It is quite unique and useful having a full handle in a stubby design. Best for opening paint cans and other light prying tasks. Mine looks a lot better than what was start with, but not as good as the end result.

@@357magdad I replaced the scales on an old Inox steel knife. The scales were some kind of plastic, maybe Derlin. That knife was ugly when I got it, the scales had shrunk but surprisingly the springs, blades and corkscrew all had good snap. The knife now has Cherry wood scales from MY trees. I liked working on that knife. I have an Edge-pro, so I got the blades shaper then they had been in years. Gave it to a gent I respect. The best part is he wasn't expecting a Christmas present.

That's an older one as it's marked "Forged" on it. I spoke to a long-time employee at Western Forge (who made this for Sears) and he told me that they stopped hot forging screwdrivers in the mid 1990s. That one is older as I don't spot a date code on it. Western Forge was a joint venture with Sears as the partial investor. While Sears didn't "make" anything, they did invest in companies that would make products for them. Roper, Whirlpool and Western Forge are three examples of that. Money was often provided to these companies to start things up or allow them to expand to keep up with the Sears orders and production.

I told my kids when I go unfortunately they won’t find any $ hidden or stashed but only tons of screwdrivers and flashlights 🤷🏼.

Incredible transformation! It’s unbelievable that it came out so clear. Whenever I have tried to restore one with that kind of handle it ended up being scuffed up, but now I realize it was because I used too high of a grit and didn’t polish it. Incidentally, I got G5 epoxy from West Systems, a 2 part epoxy and am surprised how clear it dries when it cures. I bet you could add blobs of it to areas that have big dings in it and then later reshape and polish it up. I will try it one day. The epoxy is very useful and is 5 minute.

I didn't see your comment first, I just posted the same tip to magdad 🙂 It can also work well with superglue, if you build up slowly and don't use activator. It's particularly good on wood (especially if you're applying a clear finish on top). Divots basically vanish in a way they don't if you use any sort of opaque filler.

Great to come home to two videos from you, thanks so much 👍👍 Man what a transformation on the handle 👏 I gotta try 0000 first next time I get my hands on a screwdriver with a handle like this, the steel wool alone did so much! One thing I wanted to suggest to do about divots like there were here on the domed end, in case you might like to try in future. If you can get the divots clean try filling with successive layers of superglue. You can do it in one shot with epoxy, but that can sometimes have enough of a yellow tinge that you'd see it on a clear plastic handle. Once the glue is filed/sanded flush and then finely sanded some repairs I've done this way (to wood mainly, but also plastic) have become invisible, others you can just barely make out a tide mark around the perimeter but the edge tends to be faint enough you wouldn't spot it at arm's length if you didn't know to look.

Great restoration. I love Craftsman Acetate handled screwdrivers (they smell). My favorite screwdrivers are of course wooden handled.

It happens to a lot of acetate handle tools. The worst one I have is a Vaco. It's really going to pot. Supposedly Snap-On had a huge problem too. Their handles split. I'm not sure if the SO tools were even acetate though?

To get rid of the smell, try sealing it up in a tupperware box full of clean, dry, unused cat litter for a day or two. The deodoriser in that stuff is seriously potent, just pick one with a smell that you don't mind... I learned this trick whilst trying to get the mouldy smell out of silicon cookware (it worked a treat)

I bought 3 flathead and 3 phillips head Craftsman screwdrivers of different sizes to go on the rack hanging off the side of my tool chest. Same handle style as the one in this video. I have probably around a dozen screwdrivers in that tool chest of various makes. But the Craftsman style feel so nice in the hand, they are the ones I want to grab first.

Looks great. FYI, if you ever come across a used Craftsman 1/4” flat-blade screwdriver, a fun, quick, and useful mod is to pull out the blade and press in a 1/4” hex quick release bit holder (such as HFT #64763 or similar).

Great work Magdad, that was in a poor state but the price was right, well worth the effort as the tip was in such good condition, a tricky line to walk with repairing the dings but you got that just right I think. I received a set of the "Swpeet" abrasive wheels for Christmas so looking forward to trying them out soon ! Thanks for all your excellent content throughout the year, and best wishes to all in the family Magdad !

Great job I have seen a few tools with those plastic handles with that mange on them in the past and always assumed that something corrosive might have been spilled on them but I guess they can just get that way over time somehow.
@357magdad
@357magdad Жыл бұрын
Thanks! The handles are made of cellulose acetate butyrate. When exposed to excessive heat and moisture, the CAB can degrade into butyric acid, causing “the mange” and the rotten smell.
