   jeweler's screwdriver (picture)

   (Drawn for a article in another group, and posted here since it needs   
   the traffic.)   
      
   In the 80's I got a jeweler's driver set from RS which had a hole in   
   every handle and a pin to slip in and provide leverage. Unfortunately   
   I've lost or broken most of them since.   
      
   ASCII art diagrams for better explanation.   
      
   Just the driver:

                      //   //   
                       |   |   
                       '. .'   
     frequent break ->  | |   
              point     | |   
                        / /   
      
                        / /

                        | |   
              tip ->    '+'   
      
   When I lost the pin, I used one of the smaller screwdrivers as a   
   replacement. That started me down the line of breaking the   
   screwdrivers.
