Circa 1900-1960

A characterful vintage T-handle screwdriver with turned wooden crossbar grip - a traditional design offering superior torque for heavy-duty work.

This substantial screwdriver at 7 1/2" (19cm) and 4 3/4" (12cm) wide, features the classic T-handle configuration that provides excellent leverage and two-handed control when needed. The forged steel blade with flat head is ideal for large, stubborn screws requiring significant torque. The beautifully turned wooden crossbar handle shows attractive aged patina from decades of workshop use, with comfortable grip even during extended work.

T-handle screwdrivers (or turnscrews) were essential tools in traditional workshops where maximum torque was required. The perpendicular handle design allowed the user to apply far more force than conventional screwdrivers, making them invaluable for heavy machinery assembly, large cabinet work, shipbuilding, and engineering tasks. The two-handed grip also provided better control for precision work. These robust tools represent an era when hand tools were built to last generations.

Good vintage working condition. Steel blade solid with working patina. Wooden T-handle shows attractive aged finish with honest wear. Handle secure to tang. A substantial, characterful tool from traditional workshop heritage, ready for continued use or display.
Perfect for woodworkers requiring maximum torque, collectors of traditional hand tools, cabinet makers, or as rustic workshop décor. A functional tool showcasing timeless design and quality craftsmanship.
