Forgot to say where they are from!
They are specialist equipment, but really quite cheap. They cost about £14 GBP each.
But the speciality they are from is dentistry! They are for pulling teeth!!

Way cool! If repair business slows down, you can always pull teeth to pick up some extra income. : ) I need to buy some of those. "A repairman can never have too many pliers (or forceps)".
Ha! Let me know if you need help identifying them for purchase. The idea, I got from Steve Howard, who has literally taught me everything I know.
A couple of weeks after I had the conversation with him, I had a routine check with my dentist, who gave me a catalogue!

That sounds like a set-up line for Jay Leno.Does that mean English teeth are different than American teeth?

Dental equipment can be a great source for woodinwd repair tools. I went to a couple of dental equipment exhibitions and still a bunch of catalogues from many different types of companies. I got some leads from a few dentists and dental technicians too. One of my most useful and important tools, a dental lab micromotor, is (obviously) a dental tool. A lot of micromotor bits too.But the speciality they are from is dentistry! They are for pulling teeth!!
Occasionally when someone sees (or rather hears) my micromotor they might ask if I can also fix a filling for them...Way cool! If repair business slows down, you can always pull teeth to pick up some extra income. : )
I very much so like the looks of these screwdrivers. If they've got 'em in Torx, I know what folks can get me as stocking stuffers.
"It's not the Stig, but it's the Stig's American cousin."Ever watch topgear on the BBC?

They have discontinued them. I have mine all with the big handles, since that helps with torque for the more resistant screws I use them for.Bodies are about $24 each, and the blades vary but avg about $20 each
if i recall there are 2 sizes for bodies as the blades vary dependent upon end blade/body thickness
Here the equivalent ones I use. Tope left to install springs and remove which broke with a bit of length left sticking out of the post (or when removing complete ones, cut close and use the pliers). The other two are for removing springs broken at the post, but they can also be used in the same way as the top left one (never done it with the right one though, only the bottom one when I wanted the parallel jaws).in reference to Spring tools, here are my 2 favorite ones.
What a fascinating thread. Should we rename it something like "Pro Tech Tools"?
How about "neener, neener my tools are better than your tools"? That would be a good name too.
