Hey everyone -

I've almost given up on this, but I figure I'll give you guys a crack at it!

You know those little pocket screwdrivers you get at trade shows & stuff - like this one:

Has anyone ever seen them for sale in SMALL quantities? I want to buy maybe 20 or so for my office here to give out to the IT staff (people keep stealing ours). But I can't seem to find the silly things anywhere besidse those marketing companies that sell them with your logo in quantities of 150+.

Anyone know a place where I can get them? I don't care if they have a logo or what color they are, but I'd like them like the one pictured - flat screwdriver at one end, philips on the other.

Thanks everyone!

Aha! Markel has a winner!

Thanks, renovation. I checked Harbor Freight online, but haven't looked at any actual stores.

One suggestion - I actually think that the reversible-tip one in the first link is better than the dual-end type. The phillips tip on the dual-end type only sticks out about 1/2 inch, which means that if a screw is within 1/4 inch (the radius of the upper barrel) of an adjacent wall that sticks up more than 1/2 inch (or recessed more than 1/2 inch), you won't be able to get to the screw.

I actually have a few of the reversable ones, but I find they're not that good because the tip of the philips is too small for most screws (it's size #0, I think). It's OK for very small screws, but I've found the dual-end ones to be more useful.

Thanks, tho!
