Elemen'tary Design No. 2 Mini Screwdriver with Interchangeable Bits
These compact little screwdrivers are made by hand in Elemen'tary's small London workshop. This is the compact version of the standard No. 1 Screwdriver. The Elemen'tary design is copied from originals created by a cabinet maker who was unable to find a set of modern tipped screwdrivers that met his requirements for quality, comfort and simplicity. The smaller ball handle and shorter shaft are ideal for smaller work and getting into tight spaces without sacrificing good grip. Like its larger relative, the handle of the No. 2 is designed for good ergonomic fit. It is made from beech and finished by dipping in linseed oil. The natural wood surface is pleasant to hold and, unlike varnished or rubberized handles, gives good purchase without encouraging blisters. The initial matte appearance will darken with age and become polished with use. The handles are fitted with a heavy aluminum collar. The bits fit snuggly, avoiding the wobbly problems of other screwdrivers with interchangable bits.
