Thus weekend's estate sale buy was an eclectic mix of older tools. There are two adjustable wrenches. A Daimond 6 inch and Crescent 8 inch.  Several Vaco and Xcelite nut drivers. A hatchet head, a Snap-On 1/2 drive T-bar and extension, an assortment of tiny wrenches, four sharpening stones, and some Thorsen and Craftsman sockets. The most interesting acquisition is the yellow nut driver on the far right. It was made for IBM by SEE-LECT.  The shaft slides through the handle.  One end is 1/4 and the other is 5/16.  A cam with a push button release allows the shaft to slide.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

How does that slidey nut driver hold onto the shaft with the handle? Is there a channel or something in the handle and/or shaft to keep it from spinning in the handle while in use?

Nice haul!

You nailed it.  Square notches on each end.  I'll taka pic and add it.
