Is Tobrin a fairly common name amoungst collectors?
A friend stopped by a gave me a #14 he picked up for a dollar
and I looked up the T in a triangle logo and didn't find one.

Searched around and one place said in was a branch of Liberty tools,
is this info correct?

I've seen some very nice Tobrin Perfect Handle type screwdrivers.

It's been awhile since I've given any thought to Tobrin.  They made machinery, and if they made the wrenches or screwdrivers, they were intended to be used with the machines I would think.  I have a 10" and a 14" Tobrin pipe wrench.  I did run across a group off collectors of the machines and they knew nothing of the hand tools at the time.

The Jeep folks seem to know more about Tobrin than we do, they made one of the perfect handle screwdrivers that could be in WWII toolkits, but they are few and far between...

Tobrin Tool Co was in Plantsville,CT....an interesting coincidence....perhaps...
