   The Yankee brand belongs to Stanley.

   I wrote Stanley Tools several years ago and they sent me some information re what parts they could supply but said they did not offer repair service. I couldn't figure out how to repair the thing.

   On a happier note, about one week ago today, at a  local garage sale, an older man was selling off his father-in-laws tools. Among them was the Mid size Yankee screwdriver. It was slightly dirty and I didn't recognize exactly what shape it was. I bought it anyhow, took it home, scrubbed it off with a toothbrush and WD-40, then oiled it. Worked perfectly. The more I examine it the more I think it was hardly used at all.

   Can you believe this:  I paid a dollar for it.

   I make something, sometimes twice, each year.
