Stanley Yankee No. 135A Ratchet Screwdriver RS 12612

This is a super nice, clean vintage ratchet spiral screwdriver, with the rarely seen control guide on the front end near the chuck.  It is a special model marked RS 12612 near the Stanley marking.  It is also marked STANLEY YANKEE NO. 135B MADE IN U.S.A. on the main nickel plated shaft.  There is also a nice YANKEE logo on the handle. This screwdriver is the smallest that North Brother/Stanley made in regards to tooling, or the tips that fit into the chuck, they are the .218 inch shank diameter size. The screwdriver can be used with any of the (2) slot bits, (2) Phillips bits, or (2) drill bits, plus one chamfer bit 45 degrees that are included, or others you may acquire. There is very little wear on the screwdriver, about 98% like new, with wear on the handle paint is about the only flaw, and it's minimal. In very good mechanical condition also. This one has a rapid return spring that extends the spiral shaft outward automatically.  This feature can be turned on or off, or can be locked in the closed position to use only the ratchet system as an option.
