The link that "not bob" posted suggested that the screw drive was part
of a US Army tank took kit.

I was Army Artillery. Self propelled, pull howitzers smaller. Never
saw these tools.



I was lead to believe it was WW-II.

You and I were in the Army at about the same time IIRC.

I was in '69 -'71 Air Defense artillery (Chaparral) and indeed we did
not have any wooden handled tools.

No, just $600 allen wrenches masquerading as "azimuth adjusters"
