In America that “semi auto” screwdriver is called a ‘yankee screwdriver.’ I thought it was interesting how most the screwdrivers were flat heads instead of Philips heads. There are so many better screw types today, but back then most screws were flat head, even here in the west. Очень спасиба за видео товарищ.
I'm also interested to see what hand tools Russian and Soviet mechanics use and use today? I would like to see a comparison of something like Snap-On compared to a soviet or Russian tool.
The dollar exchange rate against the ruble in the USSR in 1974 was 1 dollar = 0 rubles and 70 kopecks. A good locksmith at the factory had a salary from 200 to 300 rubles. So the screwdriver was inexpensive.
I've been collecting Soviet era war stuff for years, and have been looking to add some tools to my collection..im actually having a harder time locating any.(specifically machinists tools like micrometers and calipers)..very cool video.
Здравствуйте. Я работаю электриком и живу в России. Я работал в СССР. В СССР существовал специальны нож электрика, но купить его было очень трудно. Обычно брали полотно от ножовки по металлу, обматывали изолентой, делая так ручку и затачивали его. Это был самый простой нож электрика. Сейчас можно найти ножи заводского исполнения, но они уже не востребованы.

Thanks, bud (nice Russian, btw! ;))) Glad you liked it. Good to know about the "yankee screwdriver" -- I'll have to look it up now.
I wonder if the Yankee bits would fit that one. There is some irony in a Soviet screwdriver with a Yankee bit.

Most use imported tools from China or Taiwan. Toptul, Hans, etc
It was very interesting to watch, nice tools review!
