Little bag screwdriver
« on: January 02, 2020, 02:47:49 AM »
I forged and filed a little screwdriver for my shooting bag. One end is for the cock screw, side nails and tang bolt. The short end will fit most lock internals.

I had some O1 drill rod around so used that.

That thing will lay nicely in the bottom of a bag and take up zero room. Love it.

   I used to make them out of Allen screw wrenches.

I made a couple of small turnscrews from a broken spring , (like a mainspring) and a buffalo toe bone.  We still find the buffalo bones on the farm here.
  Toe bones make good handles, short and nicely shaped.
