My Dad had one of these and wow, just an amazing tool! When I moved out he found another one and gave it to me and it continues to be one of my most useful woodworking tools!
I used this constantly when I was trimming out house in the 1970s Held the byfold or bypass track in place with it, then used a Yankee screwdriver to put the screws in.
I have my old Craftsman 41396 Western Forge Screw Starter. That was a tool I bought but never really used. I just don't remember if I bought it in the 1980's or early 1990's. Edit: Based on the code; Q WF, it was between 1990 and 1995
It's one of those things you have to try out first. I thought they were dumb originally. Tried out a modern version a while back, still thought they were dumb. Then I picked up this vintage one, became a believer after using it a few times.

Glad to see that people are still using these.
I've been using this tool for many years, it works great.
Great to hear. Thanks for watching!

Interesting. Sounds like another good use case for it. Using it to hold something in place.
I think I remember seeing one of these in my dad's tools at some point but I could never figure out what it was for. Thanks for the info!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
I have a similar tool. I love it and use it frequently
Thanks for watching. It's nice seeing so many other people are using these.
I’ve owned mine since the early seventies 😂😂
Nice! Thanks for watching.
Great informative video, might pick one of these up
Thanks. If you do woodworking or carpentry I'm sure you'll find a use for one.
Great video, keep up the good work
Thanks man.
I've had one for many years.
Very cool. I remember I had a different one years ago, that didn't work very well. Wasn't until I found the Irwin that I became sold on them.
I have one of these, my dad bought it for me probably forty years ago.
Very cool! It's something I wish I had discovered earlier than I did.
i have one of these, and they are great. Mine is not that old, chrome steel shaft, and a plastic handle.
As long as it works. I didn't have much luck with my newer version, the tip wasn't sharp enough.

Very cool. I've looked around for a Craftsman one but haven't encountered one in person yet.
always wondered
Yeah, for the longest time I would see these and not know what they were for.
idk i would use an 8$ pen drill or something now days. everyone whos old enough to remember this tool probably has arthritis in their wrists lol
I bet. LOL. I want to be able to do carpentry during the apocalypse, when there's no electricity, so I'm keeping mine.
@@ballinator lol buy some solar panels? :p thats what i did
If the apocalypse follows a nuclear winter, solar panels won't be much use.

I own 2 of those that i got from my grandfather
Very cool. Thanks for watching!
