From the product spec sheet for a well known european tool maker:

"Features

•Handle markings
Handle markings include a screw symbol and the size of the tip to help you easily find the right screwdriver in your tool bag ..."

Really? A SCREW SYMBOL? So we know what a screwdriver...fits?

Yeash...have we gotton that dumb?
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Rusty, Klein has for years marked the end of their screwdriver handles with a + or - to show if it was phillips or straight slot and the size showed the size of the tip.
