Take good care of the Sear's 4-way screw driver. They are becoming collectors pieces these days. I've taken to carrying a Victorinox quatro in my wallet and the Sear;s is regulated to the sock drawer with the other invaluable stuff.
There's really no functional difference, but the drivers on the Sears version are wider.Jackknife, I see what you mean. Vintage Sears 4 way keychain screwdrivers for $10. How wide and thick is yours? I see some cheap copies on Ebay that are ~1 1/4" diameter. They're stamped with Cole on one side, and a shamrock on the other. Isn't Cole a key company? The tips look somewhat rounded, but I have a belt sander so I could dress them. In fact I was thinking about grinding two of them to approximate the angles of #1 and #2 Phillips screws.

That's probably better if you want to turn them into a phillips.
personally I carry the Victorinox quattro in my pocket organizer and like it much more, it's smaller but I like the driver tips better and the steel is much better in my opinion.
Uses may vary but I often use mine for adjusting iron sight screws and the parallel ground flat blade tips are more ideal for this.

They're available fairly cheap as a replacement part for the swiss cards,I don't know exactly how much they cost though because I have mine from an old swiss card that broke.
The wear and tear on that looks so good!
It's pretty beat up. It was on my key chain for probably 10-15 years. Job I had pretty much forbid any type of knife carry. Actually used it pretty often. It had a tendency to get turned in my pocket occasionally though. Could feel it poking at you.The wear and tear on that looks so good!
I can imagine. Would be pretty neat for coin pocket but could chew through that.It's pretty beat up. It was on my key chain for probably 10-15 years.

Still got a shooter for those jet disks ?
That pocket tool is a Korean knockoff off the made in USA Bassett Trim Trio.I carried this Sears 4-way for years.
I am not sure where I got the pocket tool, but I never carried it. I have had it for a long time though.

My EDC is a Bassett Trim Trio, a Powerful Pete 4 way screwdriver, P38 can opener and an LED mini flashlight on a keychain. These items, a Bic min lighter and a mini ballpoint pen fit in a coin purse and are all I need in the city.
We used pennies when we ran out of disks. They were painful when you were shot with one.Still got a shooter for those jet disks ?
The Star Trek Tracer Gun. I have many happy childhood memories of playing with this toy.
I actually have one of the cardboard displays containing five clean Trim Trios. I got on eBay for cheaper than it would have been to buy the knives individually.I know for a fact my Dad has a couple around. I’m pretty sure I remember seeing them on a cardboard display for sale in a store when I was a kid.
