1904 Large Screwdriver [Remake]

- Screwdrivers and wrenches are now for sale at www.handtoolrescue.com
The largest in antique screwdrivery, this screwdriver is based off an 1904 patent by William Ward, but with several modern improvements. These are sometimes referred to as "Perfect Handle" screwdriver due to the name H.D. Smith Co. used for there line of screwdrivers will a similar style.
Each screwdriver is made from 1144 steel, is 10.5in/26.6cm long, and weighs 1lb/454g. The square shaft is 5/8in/1.5cm thick. The blade is 1in/2.5cm wide and 1/8in/0.3cm thick. Blade is hardened to 52 Rc.
The blade on the screwdriver is now a consistent width, unlike the tapered design of most modern screwdrivers, to assist in removal of countersunk screws. The blade tip also has a hollow-ground design ensuring 1/10in/2.5mm of the tip is parallel, allowing for maximum engagement with the fastener. The handle has been re-positioned so that it is perpendicular with the blade to allow for increased strength when using the screwdriver for prying. The handle has also been designed to encapsulate the handle scales, so that even without brass pins, the scales will stay in place. The square shaft allows you to use wrenches to increase the amount of torque you can apply to the fastener if they are really stuck!
This was a major design and production undertaking that took about 2 years of prototyping to finalize. I excited to share this with everyone!
Big thank you to @yxecnc as well!

That was fantastic, really interesting and that machine is a beast just eating the steel when it was hogging out the handle. I need to get one, do you ship to Scotland?
Make some matching sets for 1" 1/2" 1/4"
Please make the mini one? ide be forever grateful.. I think 5 inch.. overall
For the next video you use the CNC in, could you put the coolant into a milk carton, see who notices ?
(or freaks out, as using actual milk is a terrible idea)
I'll jump on that bandwagon for a smaller version. I have a WW2 rifle that this would look perfect next too for the four screws on it. And perhaps a bottle opener?
RIP that carbide insert. Totally get why it had to be sacrificed for our viewing pleasure. Pouring one out
Wouldnt even sacrifice it. They thrive on heat. Cooling is usually more for the material stability than the cutting bit.
I was fixing to say, I cut dry on manual all the time, .200 to .250 with no problem. What's the thickest anyone has taken with no coolant? Beat my rookie numbers!
yeah bout the same for steel, more and i start to get nervous :D
I would have used air.
@@MattWeber carbide is just one of those materials that, like you said, thrives on abuse from its owner. Stare at it the wrong way though, and it'll shatter like glass.
I was like, "who cares about cooling, really". then later I saw the sparks and I started getting the feels for the tooling!
I was surprised to see milk used as a coolant.
@@AxxLAfriku hey. No lroblem although i hardly think this is the place for such conversation. I advise you to not continue lest people think it's not appropriate.
@@sypernova6969 he's an awful troll trying to advertise his channel everywhere, I think he's actually quite unwell.
@@TheFool2cool yeah i figured.. but i didnt want to be cruel just in case
@@johnhobson9165 yup your absolutely right..... it’s 🥛......
I would truly love a set of these in more "standard" sizes. I don't get too many 1" screws, but plenty of the smaller ones.
Personally, I have used plenty of big flathead screwdrivers during work and not once was it to turn a screw. It was always for reaching, prodding, prying or whacking things. I feel like a problem I would have with this model is that it is quite short for how thick it is.
yes. i'd totally go for a much, much smaller one.
Buy your standards at a hardware store numbnuts. He’s not reinventing the wheel here.
@@kfossa344 wow he didn't just invent the screw driver?? We're all shocked.
@@sebastianflynn1746 settle down, son
If you're ever running late on a video, you should just take two or three similar tools and explain their differences. The explanation part of this video was incredibly interesting and, quite frankly, you're really good at it.
Edit: Hand Tool History
Thank you! I do that on instagram all the time actually!
I could open some serious paint cans with one of those.
That whining sound during the making of the wood inserts was a truly unwelcome surprise, I've never removed my headset so fast in my life.
It's actually so annoying I had to keep it in the video to share. It haunts me.
A total blast and honor to view ... as a retired mechanical engineer, I was totally jazzed by your design considerations and processes. The results are to an extremely high standard and you deserve every bit of respect you are now receiving from your peers and admirers. Cheers my friend!!
Haha, I love how CZcams auto closed caption trys to decipher machine noise as words or music. Like at 1:42
I love this too! It did the same thing with the last Remake video and it was hilarious.
uh
[Music]
[Carbide screaming for coolant]
@@HandToolRescueWoul you POST that comedic video? I am always up for weird and obscure.
I am not a machinist, but I LOVE watching machinery and YOUR Rescue videos. My friend watches animals being saved, and calls me "WO" for Wired and Obscure". Oh, I am a woman licensed electrician who takes roads less traveled.
I'll have you know that my great great great grandfather was industrial coolant and as such your omission of it is a great insult to my culture
Hahaha brilliant
Hahaha
Thank you for your noble sacrifice, Machining With No Coolant. Mission accomplished, great footage. RIP you heroic tooling. *sniff*
This comment was 670. Sorry I exist. Well done 👍🏼
I can't ever forgive this.
I'm a 100% "will buy" for a smaller, more typical size. I was so, so, SO damn ready to click "buy" until I realized that it's so freaking massive that I would have no use for it other than as a pry bar, which is a shame. I just don't think I've ever come across a one inch slotted screw head in my entire life. But I do regularly need a driver for woodworking screws, i.e. the screws on the handles for hand planes that I restore, where I already use both of the HTR wrenches I own on a regular basis.
But as someone who's bought and uses two of your wrenches already, mark me down as a 100% purchase for at LEAST one of these in a smaller, more "typical" size. I just can't justify the need for such an oversized one because I already have a
And if we get a "silly" mini one, could it be the size of an eyeglasses scewdriver? would be totally awesome to have a driver like this to tighten up my ray bans. The mini adjustable wrench has been so useful in ways I never thought possible.
I bought one purely because it's made to last generations, so I can pass it on to my daughter, who will never use it much like how I'll probably never use it... then she can hand it one to her children who will also never use it... and so on...
Hand plane screwdrivers are like $12 from woodcraft
A guy could use one for the bottom bolt on a Reed vise. That's about the only place I can think of so far.
I'm just sitting here holding my screwdriver, caressing it...
I loved this design since I first saw the Ti unit you made for AvE. Thank you for making this available to fans, too.
I'm a CNC quality technician for a multi million dollar company and this is my next purchase. I currently own 2 of the previous made wrenches from Hand Tool Rescue. I am amazed at the skill and craftsmanship of this CZcams channel. I fully endorse this channel under no payment or offer of discount.

“What are those squares for?”

“That one looks like a 6”

“ÑÍĆÊ” 👌
A moment of silence in remeberance of the endmills who sacrificed their life for this video.
I can't wait to buy one of these. Does the 0069 cost more??? 🤔
LOL, why, of course!!!
He made a lot of 0069 off camera 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful craftsmanship. I love seeing good CNC work bring done.
Nice
Was wondering that myself.
6:20 sounds like a freight train braking to a halt
Sure does!
I found one of the original screwdrivers at a garage sale years ago. The old guy who owned it was a tanker in WW2, he said they were issued to them. He also said that he heard they were leftovers from WW1. I keep it in my shop apron for many uses.
I'll only be a little jealous of whoever ends up with screwdriver 0069.
almost 69 likes. Then stop there please.
Aaaah! Who's the one that liked it after 69?! Lol
@@drewsturm486 I took my like away lol. 70. do your duty
Nice.
I'd feel like I'd be getting screwed if I received #69
0:43 If you start seeing sparks you have the feedrate dialed in just right.
3:25 Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
8:00 - god, don't ever pinch a rag around the spindle of a turning lathe!! That will absolutely grab and wrap you around the spindle instantly.
I thought the same, was always taught to keep the emery cloth short so it couldn’t grab
@@alistairmartin13 I was taught to keep it long, and only hold it lightly, so it can get yanked from your hand if it catches.
There's Always a guy to be informative... as an operator myself, risks are seldomly taken; however are never negated.
Should've used coolant when making the wood handle to upset those you missed by not using coolant 🤣😈
My wrench just shipped out today!! Super excited to get it and this will be my next purchase!
Someone got their driver with a number 69 *chortle*
I'll wait a bit and hunt for one numbered 58008
I had wrench 404 but now I can’t find it. For real.
How the hell can viewers put a 'dislike' downward thumb on these videos?? This guy is a true craftsman, and his work is unparalleled.
Great self deprecating humor at 16:27. Amazing job on the redesign!
Man, it's such a joy watching industrial lathes and mills.
I don't own tools, I don't use tools, I have no need for tools, I want your tools.
Buy the tools. You won’t be sorry even if you never use them.
Buy a tool. Maybe two. Trust us, it's not the least bit addictive .....................
I understand completely
I worked in a factory that made screwdrivers. This was really cool!
I picked one of these up before Christmas along with the small and medium wrench. I still have to make handles for the screwdriver and heat treat it.
I bought this immediately. I have no use for it and it will sit on my desk as pure eye candy and possibly to pick up and threaten someone with during a meeting. Thanks!
Cool. But can it actually drive a screw? I feel like a demo was missing.
It actually intimidates the fastener into coming loose even before you start applying force.
@@HandToolRescue "No, please, not that one, I swear I'll come out!"
@@HandToolRescue Wonder if it works for locks too, lol.
@@hdezn26 Only for Masterlocks.
LPL can boost that effect to work on pretty much any lock.
Hah!! I tuned in for a restoration video!! 😂 didnt realize I was in for a manufacturing treat!!
Just bought mine! Didn't even wait to see more than a minute of this video before purchasing. I work in a sawmill, so I'll be putting it to the torture test! Can't wait!
You should send one of those boat builders like tallyho project this would give it a real world test on a big project like their boat build
I just bought one for use at work- I'm a millwright in a sawmill. I'll see how it does.
Awesome! I just bought one and have a complete set now of all your tools! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the warning about cooling. I was nearly scared for life when you shaped the cherry. Lol
The lathe part was fine without cooling, but by the time the sparks started flying in the mill, I wanted to scream.
We be burning, not concerning.
@@HandToolRescue LOL!
Would love a set of these sized for hand plane maintenance. The hollow ground shape would be perfect to prevent the brass fasteners and chip breaker screw from getting all chowdered up. 👍🏻😃
Just ordered the screwdriver kit and the 6 in wrench. Can't wait.
Do I need one? No, but I really want one. Very cool, very unique screwdriver.
I expected the chips to lit up and burn down the whole workshop...
8-o
Nice ideas on the customer-made handles, love the one with the window in it to show the stamped number!
;-D
You looked and sounded like This Old Tony during the narration. I almost checked to see if the video changed when I wasn’t paying attention.
Love the Handel with the window to see the serial number! Ffing amazing
That's more of a chisel than screwdriver
Saw it on AVE, came here and ordered. Fun bit of kit!
Had to get a wrench, Now I have to get a screw driver. I love the antique designs.
You've GOT to be Jeff Spicoli's dad because you've got an "ultimate set of tools...". 😁
I have no need for one of those but boy do I want one
Now that's a tool made with love, made by the little guy, for the little guy! Actually makes sense all the way throughout! No modern marketting bollocks!
The steel just flying off in ropes was wicked. 👀 Don't think I've ever seen that, indeed possibly due to coolant!
I think William Ward is smiling from above =) Great Job!
oh so its thicker, longer and can go deeper..... somebody is over compensating lol...seriously nice job. got mine ordered
Hahaha
Bravo, watching it in 4K. Well done.
I have a couple of these that have smaller tips that belonged to my grandfather.
Absolutely beautiful! I wish it was a little smaller to be used in more common circumstances. I bought your wrench and love it!
I really liked the handles that the patreons made, but I especially liked the handle with the little window that shows the number.
Fantastic to see it all come together !! Excellent Eric - really smart
Очень нравится Ваша деятельность.
С любовью из России.
Ты заметил а сколько мы отстали....у человека в мастерской ЧПУ и бла бла....а у нас ....эх
@@lllaxmatist Да заметил, но если много работать, то и у тебя всё будет.
Вот у меня есть всё что необходимо мне и моей семье, и даже больше.
@@lllaxmatist ты просто неудачник, по жизни... может дашь телефончик своей жены?
@@user-ye3ol4jc6o ты ничего не перепутал?
My son gifted me one of the DIY versions (and the HTR middle size wrench) for Christmas. Planning to use curly maple for the handle.
Just purchased mine. I literally love you bro! Stay up
Loved the one with the epoxy inlay, where you could see the serial number 👍🏾💙
0:03 Bite the lathe chuck, I'm going in dry...
You made me cackle. Take your upvote.
Amazing work buddy
Thanks for serial number 0002!
Just ordered mine along with the standard wrench. Look forward to bashing stuff with this... :)
Finally! Here is my stimulus money.
Also a long time fan, follower, fellow hand tool resurrector and a former machinist/programmer turned design engineer..this video really just tickled me in all the wrong places in the right ways. I'm very happy for your achievement. Even though I reached for the feed hold button a few times. The only things I can suggest is SHCS on the milling fixture (those grade 8s are looking sad) and the use of Nutella cutting fluid.
I bought one based on the title and thumbnail for the video. Now seeing what I purchased- not disappointed 👌🏼😎🤘🏼
I gotta say, the no coolant warning should be more prominent. It got to me more than I thought it would.
Hahaha.
i love to watch it with no coolent.you can see everything.you rock!
One hell of a job.
The pixelated version had me LOL'ing.
Got mine actually been using it at work love it
I actually think I prefer the older design, yours looks like it would make a better chisel / prying tool than an actual screw driver. Hollow ground is a nice touch though.
I’m glad AVE was able to get his hands on one
That's what I call Machining !!! Awesome !
Just looking at all these operations and reflecting on how 150 years ago every cut would have been done by hand. Shit cray.
Ok, you had me at 12:08. I'm order number 12633. I can't wait to have it in my sweaty little palms.
Wow, amazing new-old tool!
totally awesome screwdriver! Bravo!
I find the new one much more useful for my daily projects
Loved the lathe work but I was absolutely wetting myself with how close it was getting to the jaws!!!😳😱😂. Very therapeutic to watch except for the heart attack!!!😂😂😂
Yep, that disclaimer in the beginning worked! I got a friction burn in my eyes from the first 48 seconds!! 🔥🔥 hawtt hawtt hawtt FLOOR IS LAVA ok run
I must have one oh yes..... my toolbox just cried out I have a place for this work of art buy it now you filthy hooman. Beautiful tool I shall be buying a couple of wrenches as well.
Thank you for a wonderful video made for a fantastic Saturday morning coffee and lox bagel
Just ordered the new screwdriver and also got the 3 wrenches, which I forgot to order a long time ago... ooops! Thanks for the content! Look forward to my new hand tools and hopefully you are able to provide the screwdriver in different sizes.
I own an original H.D. Smith "screwdriver" that size that I restored. And I don't see it breaking, and I do use it as a prybar and a chisel. I would love a smaller size so that I could use more frequently
Watching this, I found myself missing the days of staying home from school sick and watching How It's Made. HTR would make a great narrator for the show.
Tried to watch this at 2x speed as I'm watching this avoiding going to work. Was missing too much fun chip throwing and had to set it back. Guess work will have to wait.
Should have used cooling when cutting the handles, the wood could have caught on fire. I should know, I work in a supermarket. :)
I REALLY need one of these, for all of those 1” flathead screws I encounter.
Love that you included people’s custom handles!
I ordered mine! I would love to have a 2.5mm version for my Hot Wheels and Matchbox Restorations.
Of course I will use it to pry. How many times do I use a slot screw with these dimensions?
this machine is amazing...so hypnotic...amazing...
Love to have a tool bit version, and a drill chuck version aswell.
Who needs a giant screwdriver? I do! Just ordered 👍🏻
A great tool! Good luck!
