JD:
These two (I believe to be screw drivers) turned up in a box of tools donated to my local Mens Shed.
Any ideas.
 

philf:
The plastic handled one is for gripping slotted screw heads. Insert the blade in the slot then push forward the sleeve and the driver will grip the slot. The two halves of the blade are wedge shaped in section so when they slide over each other the blade changes width.

They're especially useful when you're trying to start a screw in an inaccessible place.

BTW. You're pictures are too big - 800 x 600 is plenty big enough.

Phil.

They're for holding slotted screws when you're trying to get them into a difficult to reach place. Had a few smaller ones in my toolkit when I first started computer maintenance back in the 80s. As the slider is slid down the shaft, the ends close together and expand into the slot. They're very effective.

JD:
philf, thanks for that we thought they were a (one size fits all) multi purpose screwdriver.
Sorry about picture size finger trouble while editing.

Sea .dog we do get some really old and odd tools donated to us, we never throw anything away unless it completely knackered.   

Sea.dog:
You're like me then JD  :thumbup:
