Too many screwdrivers? Never enough! Thanks for the weekly posts. I look forward to "Sundays with Mag Dad." The best to you and your family in the coming new year.
Nice collection! The Perfect Handle screwdrivers are the most interesting of all of them. I think I have about 25 screwdrivers myself. Thanks for sharing this and Happy New Year.
Great collection, including some cool and interesting screwdrivers. My favourite still might be the brass nesting screwdrivers. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year!
NICE!… he who has the most, wins! I commented on George’s channel, if you have a place to put them all, it not too much. But if they’re in boxes and buckets on the floor, it’s time to let some go. 280, 600, 1000, where’s the line. Fact is, if you’re having fun doing it, GO BIG. Happy new year everyone.
I only have a few dozen screwdrivers, so not close to what you would consider "normal" numbers of screwdrivers. Seeing the driver bits reminds me of the many different patterns of "security" driver bits. Perhaps a good topic for a future video. Of course no matter how many such bits you have, there will be some piece of equipment which needs a different style. Happy New Year. Dave.
I can only say that since you got me collecting wood handled and screw holding this year that you need more! Sorry Mrs Magdad, but one good turn deserves another! I love the Champion, not found one over here, found a few Stanley this year which is great. Happy New Year to all Magdad and followers 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️
Thank you my friend! I am going to watch this video with my wife. It might just get her off my butt about owning so many screwdrivers. I look like a slacker compared to you. Lol.
Glad I could help Kevin! I make sure Mrs Magdad watches Cold War Motors with me. I tell her old rusty tools take up way less space than old rusty cars!
Boy what a relief to know I’m not the only one with a screw driver, shall we say obsession, but always the one who gets asked if I either have this type or can I barrow a screw driver ( always loan out what I call my junkers, still better than nothing, don’t you think!!?) Thanks for the video, great collection sir.
I don't think you have enough. There are so many neglected screwdrivers out there that need to be saved! I just can't bring myself to leave a neglected screwdriver behind.
Mine is more like a rescue sanctuary 😅🤣😂 i literally have hundreds of them and keep bringing home more. It's just sad the way people treat these defenseless little screwdrivers
Nice collection of screwdrivers. I like them all. I, also, like Snap On black handle screwdrivers, MAC wood handle screwdrivers and Klein screwdrivers. I just bought a 1x30 sander, hoping that I can improve my screwdrivers.
FANTASTIC collection Magdad. I find you can make screwdrivers into all sorts of usefull specialised tools, so you need plenty to adapt for different purposes. I probably have 40 - 50 screwdrivers here but have my 'go to' screwdrivers in a special easy reach drawer. I also like your punch collection. I have about a dozen, and there again, they are adaptable to specific needs. Thanks for all your great videos, and I'm looking forward to following you throughout 2024. Happy New Year. Take care 🙂
I have around 100 screwdrivers not counting mini sets. Maybe another 50 of them. My step dads screwdrivers are my project screw drivers that his dad had, I want to fix them up. His dad did the fancy woodwork on the trim at a local church using just hand tools. Thanks for keeping me inspired!
@@357magdad Another tool junk box another batch of screwdrivers. The $5 box had a Mac screw driver I can sell. The box had 4 other screw drivers in the box! This is how I end up with so many by going to garage sales.
1:10 a.m. 1 January. Just home from the temple for NYE. Great video. Maybe you could send the JC Penney to Dale. You are partially responsible for my screwdriver collection. I started buying wood handle with the idea of cleaning up, but now I am so buried even starting is daunting. If you count all of the 6x as 6, well you gotta lot! I also have a bunch of the leather punches and I don't do leather work. Nuts. Happy New Year. Great videos and cinematography.
I actually have a lockbox loaded with various different styles of acetate-handle flathead screwdrivers. I probably have about 20 or more in just that box. For me, it's all about the tactile feel & design differences of the handles. Whereas in my main toolbag full of Craftsman tools, I keep USA and SB&D Craftsman screwdrivers (Maybe 10+). They were my first "true" screwdrivers with acetate handles, and I find them both visually appealing and very comfortable to use/ work with. Plus the lifetime warranty is such great insurance if the Philips tips finally round out or snap. Then I've got an oddball toolbox full of a buncha random tools, including all Great Neck or Great Neck-produced screwdrivers (Lowe's Project Source, Hyper Tough) Included in there is a 5/16"x6" wooden handle USA-made Great Neck screwdriver, which can take such a beating. It's really well made. I keep a #2 Phillips and 1/4" flathead acetate Husky screwdriver (Bought in 2022) in my room for the occassional "pry something open from boredom" Plus another #2 Philips Craftsman to unscrew blenders and random electrical appliances. There's one antique wood handle Stanley sweetheart turnscrew, about 4-5" overall length. That one has its own spot in a mini drawer. I have such a soft spot for the Rosco/AMSCO/Maxxam style black and red handles with the uncoated, round shanks. Also the Stanley Thrifty handles. Of course, the classic Craftsman handles. Then also the newer (2010+) Husky acetate screwdrivers, since that was the first "fancy/premium" screwdriver I saw, with the glass-clear acetate handle. Though I prefered when they had the conical, solid paint ferrule as opposed to the new (2020+) ones with the wider, fluted clear ferrule. My dad had the 6-piece Pratt-Read made Husky set, although the only surviors of that set are the P0, 3/16 and 1/4" screwdrivers. Oh, and my tool cabinet in the barn has the Pittsburgh 32-piece set with the case. My dad gave me that one to make space in his truck, so I've used it ever since. I also keep the 5-piece Wiha Soft Finish screwdriver set in a different drawer for use as delicate, percision screwdrivers on electrical and machine screws. I also learned of a way to swap handles/ shanks on acetate handle screwdrivers. You clamp the shank in a vise, with the shank parallel to the ground. Then you heat the handle with a heat gun, but not too close or it blisters and bubbles the acetate. After, you fit an 8" or 10" adjustable wrench tight around the shank, and gently hammer against it it to pop off the handle. This may marr the adjustable's thumbscrew, so use a wrench you don't mind beating on. Then you can drill out the pilot hole for a bigger shank, or swap shanks of a different tip/ length. Then to seat the shank, you just set in into the hole, and with a dead blow you tap the top of the handle until the shank goes all the way into the hole, kinda like if you're using a screwdriver as a punch to knock out a pin. Heating the top of the shank helps it melt through the acetate better, but if it's too hot it can actually bubble and liquify the acetate. Finally, if you want a really smooth, glassy finish on the handle, you can spray it down with brake clean. In my experience this can cause certain handle paints to also bleed off and stain the handle (Craftsmans are one example) Sorry about the text vomit, I just really, really like screwdrivers and your video is like a fantasy land for me XD
Hey I finally remembered to look up my video about screwdrivers from long ago. Jump to the 1min 20sec time to see. :) ua-cam.com/video/2n8CQINj_NI/v-deo.htmlsi=DKnUDIQuXWzc1qWv@@357magdad
I do believe you have an addiction problem. I think I’m using the first six set I bought with my first cat in 1972. It’s missing half of them as the hubby borrowed them and lost them. I have added to them since them with one electric hand size folding kind. It doubles as my drill too. These have served me well for all my needs over the last 50 plus years. I also own my only two hammers.(claw and tack) now my pliers is something else as my hubby has borrowed and lost numerous ones I bought. Now I have some he isn’t allowed to borrow unless he puts them in my hands immediately after he’s has used them. Beat that Magdad.
You should change your Workshop name to Sant Guardian of the Screwdrivers where busted and neglected Screwdrives are rebuilt and brought back to life LOL Nice collection of Screwdrivers Mr Magdad happy New Years
Only counter point I could give would be that there may certainly be a finite point of enough screwdrivers at 10-20 but that being said one can never have enough quarter inch screwdriver bits
What a fun way to start the New Year, so thanks Magdad, that seems a perfectly reasonable collection to me, but I suspect my wife may agree with Mrs Magdad ! 😉 I think I said on Scoutcrafter that I had somewhere in the range 100-200 but watching how yours quickly mounted up it could top the 200 after all !? My screwdriver owning journey has been very similar to yours so I can relate, thanks for the links to the other collections I'll check those out too. It has been my intention (for some time) to share some pictures of my tools and restorations on Instagram, but it's stalled due to care obligations, which ironically also sometimes adds to the list of old junk requiring restoration, hoping I can start in a small way soon, perhaps that should be my resolution ?
That's a lot of screwdrivers MagDad! I have quite a few myself but I'm too lazy to root them all out of the numerous toolboxes and cardboard boxes I have around here. Don't fight it - there is no stigma in having the screwdriver collector disease.
That is one awesome collection of screwdrivers. That one that you said goes on a Phillips screwdriver I have that one I never knew what it was until watching your video. Always thought there was a part missing awesome video had to watch it twice thank you
The Leatherman "knockoff" is actually a Buck 360. Very nice multi tool. I'd be happy to send you several Leatherman knockoffs in trade. 😊 i blame you (only in the nicest words) for my collection of screw holding screwdrivers. I have others and myself to blame for the 100+ additional screwdrivers, 50+ nut drivers, and dozens of punches and chisels.
Love those Stanley work master screwdrivers my father had a few of them in his toolbox back in the day and I can always remember them how well they would feel in your hands when using them. I’ll have to ask if he still has them and maybe will give them to me 😂
I like my little honey dripper handle 3/32" flat screw driver that I keep in the everyday tool chest. I will guess I have about 50 screwdrivers in different tool boxes, most are old Craftsman.
Right I’m a uk carpenter and joiner of over 30 years and the most common screws are slotted or pozi drive depending upon the age of property but the USA seems to be very Philip’s so what is the most common at your side of the pond ? Philips here are more in engines . Love the vids though
Hopefully your family won't decide to have an intervention. 😂 All of yours are keepers though. I have hundreds myself that I have collected since I was a teenager. Then of course when friends or neighbors move out of the area, they call me to "donate" their tools. Don't give up, there are plenty of good screwdriver deals out there to be had. Easy for me to say though, I'm single.
Wow, that sure is an impressive collection. I think I top out at about 40 screwdrivers. One set in the shop, one set in the house and one in the car. I have only managed to collect one perfect handled screwdriver. I’m not a maniac, I just don’t have a need for screwdrivers in my hobby.
In fairness I'm quite sure there is some hanky panky going on in all of my tool boxes because after storing them for awhile it sure seems like I often find more inside than I originally thought I put in there🤷♂️. And considering the name "screwdriver" I'm quite certain there is some procreating going on😁...
Magdad, you have quite a collection of screwdrivers, but do you have any JIS ( Japanese industrial standards ) screwdrivers. I think you almost have enough! Lol. ✌🇺🇸
LMAO agreed indeed, my Woman goes on Holiday, she knows me so while every other got a Hat or tshirt she videocall me and said Hey Babe look here a edc Screwdriver made in germany want it?😂
I have my dad's, my father in laws, and my screwdrivers. So that is a engineer, a machinist, and an electronics tech. I am not counting them all. But if you need one, I probably have it.
You’re missing a few: I didn’t see any of the nesting sets with multiple smaller drivers that screw into the handle of the larger ones like a Russian nesting doll set. I have a couple of them
Those little bits actually multiply on their own, but they are tough. I've seen coffee cans full of them at yard sales. I'm feeling kind of wimpy- I only have 30 screwdrivers but my brother and girlfriend think I have way too many. These aren't collectables on purpose, they have distinctive jobs. I might have to try three or four before I find the one that fits a certain screw that I really don't want to mess up. By the way, I thought I ought get a good set of those concave drivers for my guns. It was brand we know but maybe Chinese knockoff- very thin blades that bent. Really worthless. I have made my custom spanners out of screwdrivers. No offense, some folks know how to use it, but I've hated pegboard since I was ten.
I have at least 302 screwdrivers; includes straight, Japanese Industrial Specs (JIS), square (Robertson), torx, T Handles, hex shaft, nut drivers, and screw starters.
My new years resolution needs to be to better organize the screwdrivers I have. Your well organized collection makes me feel a little guilty. Besides Champion, Winchester, the firearms manufacturer, also made screwdrivers with a two-piece notched ferrule.
Magdad you and I have a similar challenge? It's how to properly store all the screwdrivers we have by manufacturer# By Style #in order # so we can find them! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like I’ve been called out. There are only six perfect handle screwdrivers in my stash☹ There might be another one in my ‘someday I will sell some of these’ boxes but even that would still leave me with an insufficient number What about sharp ‘ little pokey things’ ? I think I have about half a dozen of those if ice picks count. So how many of those should I have?
Check out MrPhil1969's (not a) challenge screwdriver video:

No quantity is too much. The science is settled.
Thanks Rick!🤣

Thanks Richard!
Yeah, I’m not seeing an issue here. That’s a normal household.
Good collection Looks like your just getting Started
I'm sure more will follow me home in 2024!
Those friction drivers are the shiznit! I've got a set with very short stuppies and it works great in very tight spots...
I'm gonna have to add more to the collection...
@@357magdad yep! Lol
Define "too many" because I don't see an issue. Happy new year magdad. 🎉

I feel like I'm lacking in specialty bits. I'll have to keep an eye out for some more at the sales!
I was thrilled when I only counted in the neighborhood of 150 screwdrivers.
I was kinda hoping I was gonna be under 200....
You're fine. Go out and buy yourself a box of screwdrivers, you'll feel better.
What I really need to do is clean some of them up!
New years resolution to wife " I won't bring home any more screwdrivers"
inner monologue " But i wont bring home any less!"
Happy New Year!!
Good one Patrick! Happy New Year!
I have too many screwdrivers and I know that I will buy more. Nice video.
Me too!

Glad I could help Kevin! I make sure Mrs Magdad watches Cold War Motors with me. I tell her old rusty tools take up way less space than old rusty cars!
I recognize the issue. The solution I found is to just keep stacking them and ignoring the problem. Someday we'll have more space!
I'm sure we'll both be adding to our collections in 2024!

I don't think you have enough. There are so many neglected screwdrivers out there that need to be saved! I just can't bring myself to leave a neglected screwdriver behind.
I'm running a screwdriver rescue farm!
Mine is more like a rescue sanctuary 😅🤣😂 i literally have hundreds of them and keep bringing home more. It's just sad the way people treat these defenseless little screwdrivers
You blew me away with your knowledge of the drivers. You definitely have more than me.

That orange 6 in one at 1:35 I believe is an MIT, Michigan Industrial Tools made tool.
MIT is now Tekton; same family new generation
I could be! Thanks Mark!
Oh I'm relieved, I'm not the only one that collects screwdrivers! Just like wood clamps, you can't have enough.
Somehow I have a drawer of vintage utility knives now as well...

Happy New Year!
I actually have a lockbox loaded with various different styles of acetate-handle flathead screwdrivers. I probably have about 20 or more in just that box. For me, it's all about the tactile feel & design differences of the handles.
Whereas in my main toolbag full of Craftsman tools, I keep USA and SB&D Craftsman screwdrivers (Maybe 10+). They were my first "true" screwdrivers with acetate handles, and I find them both visually appealing and very comfortable to use/ work with. Plus the lifetime warranty is such great insurance if the Philips tips finally round out or snap.
Then I've got an oddball toolbox full of a buncha random tools, including all Great Neck or Great Neck-produced screwdrivers (Lowe's Project Source, Hyper Tough) Included in there is a 5/16"x6" wooden handle USA-made Great Neck screwdriver, which can take such a beating. It's really well made.
I keep a #2 Phillips and 1/4" flathead acetate Husky screwdriver (Bought in 2022) in my room for the occassional "pry something open from boredom" Plus another #2 Philips Craftsman to unscrew blenders and random electrical appliances.
There's one antique wood handle Stanley sweetheart turnscrew, about 4-5" overall length. That one has its own spot in a mini drawer.
I have such a soft spot for the Rosco/AMSCO/Maxxam style black and red handles with the uncoated, round shanks. Also the Stanley Thrifty handles. Of course, the classic Craftsman handles. Then also the newer (2010+) Husky acetate screwdrivers, since that was the first "fancy/premium" screwdriver I saw, with the glass-clear acetate handle. Though I prefered when they had the conical, solid paint ferrule as opposed to the new (2020+) ones with the wider, fluted clear ferrule. My dad had the 6-piece Pratt-Read made Husky set, although the only surviors of that set are the P0, 3/16 and 1/4" screwdrivers.
Oh, and my tool cabinet in the barn has the Pittsburgh 32-piece set with the case. My dad gave me that one to make space in his truck, so I've used it ever since. I also keep the 5-piece Wiha Soft Finish screwdriver set in a different drawer for use as delicate, percision screwdrivers on electrical and machine screws.
I also learned of a way to swap handles/ shanks on acetate handle screwdrivers. You clamp the shank in a vise, with the shank parallel to the ground. Then you heat the handle with a heat gun, but not too close or it blisters and bubbles the acetate. After, you fit an 8" or 10" adjustable wrench tight around the shank, and gently hammer against it it to pop off the handle. This may marr the adjustable's thumbscrew, so use a wrench you don't mind beating on. Then you can drill out the pilot hole for a bigger shank, or swap shanks of a different tip/ length. Then to seat the shank, you just set in into the hole, and with a dead blow you tap the top of the handle until the shank goes all the way into the hole, kinda like if you're using a screwdriver as a punch to knock out a pin. Heating the top of the shank helps it melt through the acetate better, but if it's too hot it can actually bubble and liquify the acetate. Finally, if you want a really smooth, glassy finish on the handle, you can spray it down with brake clean. In my experience this can cause certain handle paints to also bleed off and stain the handle (Craftsmans are one example)
Sorry about the text vomit, I just really, really like screwdrivers and your video is like a fantasy land for me XD

It's impossible to have too many screwdrivers, (or tools!)
I agree!
You can only count the ones that are restored. 😋
I wish I could clean them all up!
Those Amsco look just like my Vermont American/Rosco.
The orange and black handles are almost the same!

Thanks Jack! Happy New Year!
Right I’m a uk carpenter and joiner of over 30 years and the most common screws are slotted or pozi drive depending upon the age of property but the USA seems to be very Philip’s so what is the most common at your side of the pond ? Philips here are more in engines . Love the vids though
Thanks for watching! I think Torx is probably the most popular on modern stuff.
I love the smell of screw drivers in the morning
Unless it's one of those Craftsman screwdrivers with the mange...
@@357magdad lol, yes, thats true
Hopefully your family won't decide to have an intervention. 😂 All of yours are keepers though. I have hundreds myself that I have collected since I was a teenager. Then of course when friends or neighbors move out of the area, they call me to "donate" their tools. Don't give up, there are plenty of good screwdriver deals out there to be had. Easy for me to say though, I'm single.
Mrs Magdad knows I'll be bringing more home in 2024!
@@357magdad YAY!!
Happy new year to all.
Happy New Year Pat!
Obviously I don’t have as many you but it’s growing I have my eye on the Wiha 50 piece precision screwdriver set that should push me over 220
You're catching up!
Wow, that sure is an impressive collection. I think I top out at about 40 screwdrivers. One set in the shop, one set in the house and one in the car.
I have only managed to collect one perfect handled screwdriver. I’m not a maniac, I just don’t have a need for screwdrivers in my hobby.
You need more perfect handle screwdrivers!
In fairness I'm quite sure there is some hanky panky going on in all of my tool boxes because after storing them for awhile it sure seems like I often find more inside than I originally thought I put in there🤷♂️. And considering the name "screwdriver" I'm quite certain there is some procreating going on😁...
I agree! I think my wood handle screwdrivers have been multiplying on their own!
No, embrace the screwdrivers and just keep going. It would be WRONG to stop now! You’re on your way to some sort of record, or several, keep going!!
I'm sure more will follow me home in 2024!
Holy cow thats a lot of screwdrivers 😮
I was surprised how many I've accumulated...
Magdad, you have quite a collection of screwdrivers, but do you have any JIS ( Japanese industrial standards ) screwdrivers. I think you almost have enough! Lol. ✌🇺🇸
Most of my hoard is slotted. I may have some JIS bits...
I watched your video and just shook my head. I really don't have enough screwdrivers.
LMAO agreed indeed, my Woman goes on Holiday, she knows me so while every other got a Hat or tshirt she videocall me and said Hey Babe look here a edc Screwdriver made in germany want it?😂
Sounds like you found a keeper!
Looks like you have the beginning of a good screwdriver selection 😅. My most used tool is a Harbor Freight 6 in 1 screwdriver ($1.99).
The 6 in 1 screwdrivers are super handy!
I have my dad's, my father in laws, and my screwdrivers. So that is a engineer, a machinist, and an electronics tech. I am not counting them all. But if you need one, I probably have it.
Thanks Bob!
You’re missing a few: I didn’t see any of the nesting sets with multiple smaller drivers that screw into the handle of the larger ones like a Russian nesting doll set. I have a couple of them
I forgot my nesting tools! I'll post them on Instagram for flatlay Friday.
Those little bits actually multiply on their own, but they are tough. I've seen coffee cans full of them at yard sales. I'm feeling kind of wimpy- I only have 30 screwdrivers but my brother and girlfriend think I have way too many. These aren't collectables on purpose, they have distinctive jobs. I might have to try three or four before I find the one that fits a certain screw that I really don't want to mess up. By the way, I thought I ought get a good set of those concave drivers for my guns. It was brand we know but maybe Chinese knockoff- very thin blades that bent. Really worthless. I have made my custom spanners out of screwdrivers. No offense, some folks know how to use it, but I've hated pegboard since I was ten.
Thanks for watching Jeff! Don't listen to your brother or girlfriend - you need more screwdrivers!
I have enough to make a New Year resolution!😬. Happy New Year
Happy New Year Tony!
I have at least 302 screwdrivers; includes straight, Japanese Industrial Specs (JIS), square (Robertson), torx, T Handles, hex shaft, nut drivers, and screw starters.
Thanks Brian!
My new years resolution needs to be to better organize the screwdrivers I have. Your well organized collection makes me feel a little guilty. Besides Champion, Winchester, the firearms manufacturer, also made screwdrivers with a two-piece notched ferrule.
The Winchester Champion pattern screwdrivers had one half of the two piece ferrule made of brass. They are very collectible.
Magdad you and I have a similar challenge? It's how to properly store all the screwdrivers we have by manufacturer# By Style #in order # so we can find them! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't have the room to properly organize them all.
Box wrenches seen to pile on me. Not collecting, but most cars use metric these days, but I have a 1980 Mini which is 💯 standard.🤣
Teenage Magdad accumulated a set of mechanic's tools and I still use them today!
I am with you… I may have a small problem
I'm prolly gonna bring more home too!
Sold several hundred on eBay over the years. Still have about 50 screwdrivers👍
I've "trafficked" a bunch too.
Damn maniac, only 1 screwdriver. What's wrong with him
I suppose a guy could get by with one 6in1 screwdriver...
Not seeing a problem. Now if you had those numbers of pipe/monkey wrenches 😂.
I have a bunch of auto wrenches and monkey wrenches - but not that many!
I guess that i had better get to work on my screwdriver collection. I must be way behind.😮
Sounds like a New Year's resolution Kim!
I would be afraid to even try to count how many screwdrivers I have. lol
I was surprised how many I had!
What a silly question 😂
I was surprised how many I had!
I feel like I’ve been called out. There are only six perfect handle screwdrivers in my stash☹ There might be another one in my ‘someday I will sell some of these’ boxes but even that would still leave me with an insufficient number
What about sharp ‘ little pokey things’ ? I think I have about half a dozen of those if ice picks count. So how many of those should I have?
You need more pokey things!
Sprag clutch driver
?
Got any plans to expand the collection? 🙂 I have a little over 200 screwdrivers and 110 punches--meager compared to you.
I'm sure more will follow me home in 2024!
Somehow I thought Chuck would have more screwdrivers
He thinks I have way more than I need!
So far I have 6 screw holding screwdrivers.
My favorite is a E-ZEE Hold brand. I would love to find a set of them. I have about 50 in all. 😆
E-Zee has a nice handle design.
Holy Shit Dude
the limit to how many screwdrivers one can have is determined by the space one has to stock them
I'm running out of space!
@@357magdad I've had to give some to family and friends
One more than you can find in your shop.
Put another way, has any mechanic or DIYer ever regretted buying another screwdriver to finish a job?
I really trying to cut back on bringing more home!
I don't see a problem with the number of screwdrivers you have.
Thanks!
lol this is madness
It is a little outta hand...
