jeweler's screwdriver (picture)

(Drawn for a article in another group, and posted here since it needs
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.
