[@deme7063]

I always thought that the square wooden handled screw drivers were pretty good. Seems all the old guys had them. Even cheap stuff from back in the day was better than some "good" stuff now.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I have tons of screwdrivers so if they don't have a brand name I generally assume the steel is pretty cheap and just toss them into the junk screwdriver box. The good Stanley (and others) wood handled ones engrave the brand name on the metal collar. I would choose these cheaper wood handled ones or even acetate handles over the cheap abs plastic handled ones.

[@LD9user]

I think as long as you dont go crazy and start hammering on the end or prying too much, the wooden handle drivers work exceedingly well. I was gifted a set when I was 16. That was 42 years ago and I still have most of them (broke a couple over the years).

[@bettytherussiantortoise2808]

I have a few wooden handle ones that are junk mild steel tip but the other ones are really good.

[@aitf99]

I've got a wood handle Mac that was my grandfathers and looks just like that one. Also some gunsmith screwdrivers look just like that and they're awesome quality as well : www.graceusatools.com/item-details.php?item_id=31&category_id=2

[@ulbuilder]

When building my airplane I used staples to hold plywood gussets in place while the epoxy dried. Did the same thing, ground and slightly curved the tip of a junk screwdriver making a very effective staple puller.

[@DereksWorkshopAndProjects]

Probably too simple but as a former service plumber, I have a “digging screw driver” which is used for what it sounds like. It’s a flat head that helped me dig around pipe so I could just get the job done instead of shoveling out a bigger hole so I can use the shovel underneath the pipe. I just chip the dirt away with the screw driver after I have gone as far as I can with my shovel and expose the pipe all the way around to sweat or glue on a repair.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Great idea. I have a digging screwdriver and old large kitchen knife just for this. The knife is generally for sod cutting before sprinkler repair.

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

When I was a kid my dad used a nice kitchen knife for his sod knife once. Once.

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

@@Eyes0penNoFear you have to know how to use a knife, LOL! For example, never _ever, ever_ push the sharp edge *towards* you, using any method! 😄

One is for digging down around a specific invasive weeds' exceedingly loooooong taproot. Things like that are really good ways of reusing old screwdrivers, prybars, even tire tools!

I like your O-ring pick Idea ..My favorite screwdriver redo is the one I made into a shifter knob on my automatic column shifter in the pickup

[@sixtyfiveford]

I need to do that to my 78

[@mrinbetween6697]

That reminds me. I had the snap on handle on my truck before I made it into a forward AR grip.

[@bruceaskin9645]

Had a column shift manual once, ( Australian Holden torana) which broke in the column. For an immediate temporary fix, I drilled two holes in the floor hump and brought the cut off linkages up through the holes. One stick for 1st and reverse and the other for 2nd and 3rd. The column never did get fixed, just got used to using two sticks.

[@christophersz]

I read this without my glasses. Lol! You can probably guess what a blurry “Shifter knob” read like. Lol! It wasn’t until I got to the following line that I got the “Snap-On” toilet out of my head. Thanks for the laugh. I’ve got my glasses on now. Stay safe, & God bless.

[@dennisr.levesque2320]

With a Dremel rotary tool, you could re-grind a Phillips into an E-clip remover; and a flat blade into an E-clip installer. Those 4-in-1 screwdrivers are good for that (Small and Large in one tool). Sure beats using the wrong tool for the wrong job. If you magnetize it, it's even better. You could also cut threads onto the shank and use the handle as a drawer-pull, or accessory to some other tool. When all else fails, You could always cut off the flat blade and use it as a wedge to tighten hammer-handles.

[@msy3586]

Folded the tip over on a flathead to just past 90, as sort of a flat wide pick. Use it all the time for cleaning out grooves, pulling out valve spools etc. Usually use it with a crescent wrench as a mini slide hammer puller.

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

Tip: put some J B Weld in the handle to keep the handle from coming off. Especially wood chisels.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Good idea

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

@@sixtyfiveford JB Weld is very tenacious. Can withstand impact AND will glue handle up. ( within reason. Don’t try to kill your glued chistles with a Plumb hammer) My refurbished chistle handles ( 3 of them) have lasted 20 years. But I have to glue them up again because they have become loose. ❌ tip: JBWeld also works great on eyeglass frames. I’ve got a pair of glasses from 1990 that I’ve glued up 6 times. Still going. Like the energizer bunny.

great ideas as always! love the shop tips. one of my favorites is getting a smaller Philips cutting it down and giving it a blunt point with a 45* bend to use as a radiator hose pick, made one after seeing one used at a radiator repair shop. thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@graciebonsai7272]

Caulk gun tube nozzle puncture, seal and clean out tool. Plug tool for fuel and vacuum lines. Insert and affix 5/16" or 7/16" threaded rod into the screwdriver handles to replace the adjusting screws on locking pliers to improve the grip and adjustment torque. Wall-mount coat rack posts for the shop. Cheers!

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Genius idea, I had no idea the handle would come off that easily. I use golf balls for my handles on my files, but honestly, it doesn’t work all that great. And they want big bucks for a handle and I’ve tried to make a few out of wood before, but they don’t work as good as the store-bought. I made a bunch of pic type stuff with old screwdrivers that I had laying around back in the day. I made a video on it along time ago not exactly sure when. Will be doing this thanks for the great idea .

[@Fireship1]

This is a great idea. Reminds me of how I was taught years ago how to make small seal and o ring pics out of brazing rods. The seal pics out of screwdrivers is a great tip.

Heat it and bend it some to make it a better staple puller.

[@katharinavanbommel767]

To destinguise the wooden handles you can (spray)paint them in different colours or use even a marker. Another tool you can make is a handdrill or a bottle opener! Thank you for all of these wonderful solutions you think off and demonstrate! Your channel is GREAT!!!

[@redneckerson8906]

Great video!!!! Love your channel--one of the very few I have subscribed to. Some other uses: (1) Hammer a hex bit holder (like for a drill) into the handle and presto--a new driver for all hex bits. Can do long or stubby. May need to enlarge the hole, but leave it tight so it won't turn in the handle. Can also heat an old nail and use it to soften the he hole in the handle a little first, or put in some epoxy first; (2) hammer an allen wrench (hex key) into a small handle for often used sizes, such as set screws in tools, electrical connectors (also provides insulation as added bonus), or even the handle on the storm door that keeps getting lose; (3) cut off the end of the free paint can openers from the box stores and hammer either end into the handle to make either a paint can opener or a bottle opener; Hammer an often used drill bit into the handle to make a hand drill. The uses are endless.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I've ground them like lathe tools then heated and bent ends 90 degrees to get into internal features. Really handy for cleaning o-ring grooves in motorcycle brake calipers (end ground flat with relief angles then bent at 90) and also cleaning out larger threads in alloy components (when ground at 60 degree angle) Often much easier than buying special sized taps or dies when threads are 'almost good' just a bit rusty or oxidised

[@louiechidwick6034]

The more robust flathead screwdrivers make good 'mini-prybars' of various lengths and angles but you will probably need to heat and hammer the ends flatter, wider and thinner. A 'V' shaped notch ground into the end of some is useful for prising off stuck vacuum pipes etc.

[@xlfive]

Awesome videos I’m going to make a few at work today I have a drawer of broken screwdrivers

[@handyhippie6548]

i've got a couple of boxes of crap garage sale tools that came in the tool box i was actually buying. it's amazing to me how many people will fill a good box with crap tools, rather than the other way around. the file handle idea is a good one. i use junk wrenches as brackets and braces for projects and when i need to modify a wrench for a one time use already.

nice work, nice dog I'm sure you know the drill+grinder=love trick.

Love those old Xcelite drivers

[@sixtyfiveford]

They're really nice but valuable. So most I've sold off on Ebay to people who will appreciate them.

Ive done this for chain saw chain files for sharpening the chain teeth. Works very well

[@seanpatterson1609]

Innovative uses. Thanks for sharing

[@DeanY98765]

Great ideas. Got a drawer full

[@lefthandedarcher2126]

I’ve sharpened an old flat tip, ground the handle down to fit in an aluminum pipe I had and it makes a great trash pick up tool

[@doubledforge]

Thank you for the great ideas. I've just been throwing them away in the past, what a waste. I'll start my coffee can collection for future uses.
