Antique Yankee No. 20 Special screwdriver, a classic American hand tool associated with North Bros. Mfg. Co. and the well-known Yankee line of innovative screwdrivers.

Yankee screwdrivers became famous for their spiral-action mechanism, which converted downward pressure into rotary motion. These tools were widely used by carpenters, cabinetmakers, mechanics, machinists, and other tradesmen.

Overall in fair condition. Operates but a little rough. The directional change button lives but it doesn’t appear to change direction.
