Today's road trip surfaced the following drivers; from the top:

9/32" nutdriver with markings "Spintite" - I know I've seen this before in a wood handle, but can't recall who made them.
Thorsen 066 9" #3 slotted  - another for the display boards
Thorsen 081 3" #2 slotted - I solicit input on how to remove the red paint without damaging the driver
Snap-On SDDP22 3" #2 yellow handled slotted
Fuller 304 3" #2 slotted
Blackhawk ST1146 3-1/4" #2 slotted
unknown maker wood handled 6" slotted - the only markings I can find are "tempered USA".  There MAY have been something before tempered that I'm just not able to make out.

If I'm not mistaken, Walden Worcester made a line of SpinTite wood handle nut drivers.

I think I have a couple out in the shed. (With your name on them, of course, if you want 'em!)


As for that red paint, is it a plastic handle underneath? I would try boiling it off in hot water. I wouldn't try anything too strong like acetone or paint thinner, it may soften the handle beyond repair.

I have also had luck getting hard plastic driver handles with paint splatters clean with a very fine wire wheel, it actually seemed to buff the plastic somewhat.

YEP, that's it.  Walden.  Thanks!

Yes, plastic handled.  It does not seem to have adhered well.  I was able to scratch some off with a finger nail.  I like the idea of hot water.  I will try that first...maybe something short of boiling.

A somewhat unknown paint remover is brake fluid.  Rub on, let set only one or two minutes, Wash off thoroughly.  Takes paint right off trim, bumpers, and some plastic I have tried. 

I'd say 180 degree water did fairly well.  It took 5 scrubs in between 10 minute soaks.
