TR2/3/3A beach wood- wooden handled screwdrivers

[sp53]

I heard that is easy to find one of those English round beachwood- wooden handled screwdrivers for a tr3 tool kit on the net, but I am nothaving any luck. What should I look under? Anyone know a source?

They come up on eBay every month or so. None now, but I'll keep my eyes open for any that show up.

You might try googling woodworking tools.

Here is what I have, not correct but handy since you can beat on the end of it with your lead mallet.

Thanks you guys, it was a few years back when I hear to look for “I think”-- Vintage Made in England wooden handled screwdrivers--- I looked again and some did pop up, but they look a little different, and I am not sure plus I think Piggot said there are different types. I like the round headed one and some did come up, and I think it is supposed to be 7 ¼ inches, but again I think it might be best to find one on EBay from a seller that knows their stuff and is fair plus the patina . I do think some still exist. I mean the honest part, maybe.

The original is...well...really cheasy! It has a large, knobbed wood handle attached to a flat plate stamped steel point. The flat portion is (poorly) stamped with "SHELLEY". Alone it is not worth much...like $20 absolute maximum. As a set, I picked all my tools up for $120. That seems to be the low point for a full set. At $285, a gentleman from New Zealand has had no takers on a full set for over 3 years.

Go on eBay and search for "Sheffield screwdriver" in all categories. Sheffield also supplied TR3 screwdrivers.
