Take a good look at the ends on this tool set..

Bought this over the past weekend...for $2...I think...

Got to looking at those ends a bit...have seen that sort of thing before...decided to try a theory out...

Perfect fit, and locks in place...on a Stanley YANKEE No. 130A

Looks like I now have a nut driver for my Yankee screwdrivers...

These have hollow shafts, to allow a bolt to run up into..

Imagine that....

Set was made/sold by Walden Worcester ...As a Snaptite set.  

Be interesting to see how my son looks through my work toolbox in the years to come.  Trying to figure out what goes with what and such.

Cool set and purchase Bandit. Can't say I've ever seen anything like that in the wild before. Does the handle with the set have a spring loaded collet like the Stanley or is it threaded and work similar to the old Miller-Falls?

The Stanley Yankee has a spring loaded collet, you pull back on the sleeve to inset a bit...twist the bit a bit until the "D" shaped end fits into the d shaped notch inside..then release the sleeve and go to work.

Handle in the set...is a threaded collet...you still have to twist the bit until it slips into place and locks, then tighten the collet down..

 

Used to have a set of Brace Bits in a red roll-up from this company...may have to dig them up, sometime...
