jeweler's screwdriver (picture)

the traffic.)

In the 80's I got a jeweler's driver set from RS which had a hole in
every handle and a pin to slip in and provide leverage. Unfortunately
I've lost or broken most of them since.

ASCII art diagrams for better explanation.

Just the driver:

  head --->      p~~~~~~~~~q
                 \--|   |--/
                    |   |
                    |   |
 hole in handle ->  |.-.|
                    |`-'|
                    |   |
                    |   |
                   //   //


                   //   //
                    |   |
                    '. .'
                     | |
                     | |
                     / /
                     
                     / /
                     | |
                     | |
           tip ->    '+'

Driver with the pin:

  head --->      p~~~~~~~~~q
                 \--|   |--/
                    |   |
                    |   |   _________________
 pin in the   -> ===|   |==E_________________|
 hold in handle     |   |
                    |   |
                    |   |
                   //   //


                   //   //
                    |   |
                    '. .'
  frequent break ->  | |
           point     | |
                     / /
                     
                     / /
                     | |
                     | |
           tip ->    '+'

When I lost the pin, I used one of the smaller screwdrivers as a
replacement. That started me down the line of breaking the
screwdrivers.
