Description: |
| The patent is for a solid shank extending through the handle of the tool, and with a broad broad square surface set flush with the end of the handle to allow the shank to be struck with a hammer without splitting the handle.
A screwdriver marked PAT 3/24/03 has a solid shank extending through the handle, but the end cap completely covers the end of the handle. The screwdriver also has a heavy hex collar attached to the shank below the handle ferule. The hex collar allows a wrench to be used for extra turning force.
Samples marked 'STANLEY,VICTOR,PAT.03-24-03 WOOD' and do not have hex collar.Stanley sold these screwdrivers under the Victor name in the 1905 #34 catalog. |
