Am I the only woodworker with a thing for push screwdrivers?
I have two Millers Falls, a Klein, and a Stanley.
Just curious if any others were as ??? as I am.

I think Steven Newman likes them, I am not a huge fan. I love the wood handled style like the Grace Gunsmithing screwdrivers from Lee valley.
I like them and use them. I like push drills even more, and use them a LOT.
I have two of the great big size, but use them almost never; the mid-size are most useful to me.
Garrett Wade sells a repro for about $62 on sale now. Comes with a set of 2 fluted drill bits.
I've been eyeballing this for a year and my just pull the trigger.............

No you are not. I had one from the days before VSR drill motors, I was given a couple, I picked up some at the fleamarket, there're cheap, so I had some. Then I bought a patternmakers chest at a estate sale. He had a thing for Yankees , too.
I like mine. I have an old Goodell Pratt push drill that I like as well.
I have at least a dozen
Not me. Never cared for them.
Not knocking those who like them, just not my tool of choice.

Depends on how much "hp" you need to turn a screw..

There is also a small Stanley H133a lurking about, along with 3 or 4 push drills. I even made a few bits to use in the Yankees..

Made from old hex bits. I think I can find some uses for these.
I rate the Yankee push drills along side of the Bell Sytems Brace that I have.
Used a Yankee screwdriver tonight, had a bunch of #8 Phillips screws to drive...
