UncleRon, this is not the screwdriver set I was telling you about, in your storage in handle tool post, but a nice little chisel set stored in the handle of this "Fray's Pat. Aug. 7. 83" it says on the brass collar of this driver tool. It has a Cocobolo wood handle with threaded Cocobolo end cap. It's been used and abused, but the handle, lid, and storage are still in great condition. The chisel bits are still good, and chuck still works good, it just has hammer marks on the thumb tightening fins, from making it tighter, I guess!
Thanks for looking, all comments welcome! :^)
Thanks Thomas, it was scummy when I bought it, but I sprayed it with WD-40, and some 000steelwool, to remove the scum, what a difference, almost like art now! :^)
Thank you for the love too bro. :^)
You know Thomas it could be, that was my first thought but, it looked the same as UncleRon's handle storage tool, so I said walnut.
Don't you just love the stacker sets?!? Not getting up and looking for three or four different ones. They are all just right there!!!
Yes shareurpassion, this is not a normal bit set, but still very convenient, for wood work! :^)
Thank you for taking a look and leaving some love,

So not Walnut, or Rosewood, but "Cocobolo wood" handle! :^)

Hi Rick, thanks so much for the love! :^D
This was a tool that I got after I retired from carpentry, even though I thought I would never buy another tool again! Hmmm, bad habits are hard to quit! I just liked the age, and condition, so had to have it! For a while anyway! :^)
