Its not a Yankee screwdriver its a Push Drill made by Yankee..........
Works similar to the screwdriver but is designed for drill bits. How
many do you want, I probably have about 6 or so of em in the shop
drawer unused for many many years......most are still heavily chrome
plated on brass........ with a steel shank
