Ratchet screwdrivers, Stanley I think.

[skeetstar]

Folks, does anyone know if the old style ratchet screwdriver is still available. I have done the usual web search but I can only find the new fangled multi bit ones. The one I am looking for is the type with the button on the barrel for screw in, lock and screw out ratchet, and a single fixed blade. I had a couple of them, but on one of them, the plastic handle has split.

Thanks all.

Not seen any for a while. Could you not ask someone here to turn you some new handles?

Lots of them on Ebay. Stanley, Footprint, and other makes

I bought a replacement Stanley Handyman yankee recently which means I've got a spare one without the button. Does anybody want it (who has the button otherwise it's useless)?

The missing button is top right in this picture. I bet someone has one in a drawer and doesn't know what it's for.

I think what you're looking for is a Stanley Yankee 10a. A plain ratcheting driver (not the push spiral type) with an overall length of 10 inches..

There are plenty on eBay ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f....H0.TRS0&_nkw=yankee+screwdriver+10a&_sacat=0 ... but some look a bit rough.

If you can't find what you want send me a PM - sure I've something suitable here - somewhere.

Yep that's it the 10a. Will get a couple off eBay. Thanks for all replies, much appreciated.
