I think I'd like a Yankee Screwdriver. I think I came across one in high
school once, and it really quickly put a hole in a piece of wood that was
better left unpunctured.

Does anyone have a suggestion of what to look for, brand, etc?

Like this one?

Or these?

OTOH, since you made a hole, maybe a push drill?

Why? I have one but have not used it in over 35 years. The cordless
drill made it obsolete. Faster, easier, more versatile, IMO.

I may still have my grandfather's someplace. I know I had it, but haven't seen it
in years. I remember him using it and letting me use it when I was "helping" him as
a little kid.

He's been gone for over 30 years. Now you've made me miss him again.

I use mine all the time. Never have a problem with stripped
out screwheads or broken screws. Especially useful when I'm
putting screws in and out frequently, as when hanging a cabinet
door and needing to plane it to fit just so.

As for brand, dunno now. Mine are all old Stanleys. There's
two kinds, with and without a return spring, I like the ones
with a spring better. They come in at least 3 sizes, I don't
use the big one much because the stroke is too long.

First is the cool factor, and the second is it's an "alcohol powered
tool" as Roy would call it. I have a tool bag in the van that I take to
my relative's because I'm the handyman. A battery powered drill requires
charging and space, and I'd rather not mess with either. For shooting in
a couple screws, I think the Yankee Screwdriver would be just the thing.

Stanley stopped making them a while back.

Be aware that the originals have a proprietary
chuck for the bits and will only work with bits
made specifically for the Yankee screwdriver.

If you search for "spiral ratchet screwdriver"
on Amazon you'll get a number of hits in
different price ranges, most of which will take
standard hex-shank bits. Read the reviews
carefully.

I've always been partial to the old Goodell-Pratt ones, but it's
difficult to find an assortment of blades for them.

BTW, their push drills are better than the Stanley ones and bits are a
little easier to find than screwdriver blades.

My thought as well. Besides it falls within my personal safety rule. Never
turn on a power tool after I have had a drink.

Cordless drill. Nope.
Lathe. Nope.
Welder. Nope.
Tractor. Nope.

Yankee Screw Driver !!!! Hey bubba hold my beer and watch this.

I've got an old Craftsman yankee screw driver sitting on my never ending
projects bench right now. It has the same proprietary bit issue as many
others. Worse I've managed to misplace all the bits. I could buys some. I
see them on Ebay. But... my plan is to make my own adapter for it to use
hex bits. I've actually already made a couple. They are just waiting on me
to finish my broach holder / lathe cross drill before I epoxy in the magnet.
Might also cut the shank on a straight shank drill chuck or a pin drill (or
both) to fit it. Then I'll be able to use it as a push drill for bit sizes
not readily available with hex shanks.

Go find one at a gar(b)age sale that somebody else has lost all the bits for
and you are good to go. LOL.

That may have been true before wire coat hangers went extinct. We seem

mall, identical to one Leon has, for when we go out to eat with him and
Kim ... that ways we can look like a band on break.

Groupies, you never know ...

Come to Texas, there are an abundant amount of wire coat hangers. LOL


Why do you have so many wire coat hangers? Were you planning to "rescue"
"stranded" cars in local parking lots? :-)

The cleaners return clothing on wire coat hangers.

Then Texas is the refuge of the endangered species of "cleaners"? I
don't think we've used a "cleaners" for twenty years.


You clean your own suits? Where do you live?

What's a suit?



LOL.... Thank goodness those days are way behind me but not totally gone.

Last time I bought a suit was in 1983 (three-piece, powder blue (puke)).

Leisure Suit?!!!!! LOL.... I somehow got through that period with
having to buy one of those.

Without? My FIL wore polyester leisure suits. I always laughed at
him/them.

Suits? I've not worn one in 27 years. I do wear a blazer once or twice
a year.

You get four of them in a deck of cards.

gumbo season.

Definitely a theme going ...

If you wear a different color shirt the neighbors will call the police
about a stranger loitering in the area.

My wardrobe has four colors.

I knew a guy who loved them - he was on the road a lot (computer
consultant type) and claimed he could get in the shower with the suit
still on, take it off after it was thoroughly wet, and hang it up after
he'd finished his shower. Never had to get a suit dry cleaned :-).

I wore one to my mother's funeral (~7 years ago) and to my last job
interview (~5 years). I donated it because it no longer fits - zero
chance of wearing it again.
