: Don't

: Don't worry you will soon be posting

: James, The 1942 North Bros pocket catalog
: describes the parallel tip bits as
: follows:Heavy Duty Bits Made of
: special-analysis steel for driving
: sheet-metal or self tapping screws. there
: were three sizes for the No.30A, three sizes
: for the No.31A and one size for the No.35.
: I don't remember ever seeing one like those
: illustrated in the catalog. However I do
: have a couple that are completely different
: which I believe are for driving sheet metal
: screws. I'll send you a photo. Dave

: The following comments were in a message I

:
: (Reference my page

: )
:
: "That 2100 brace is an early version
: with the plated head. Those are not common
: .........."
:
: I wasn't aware of this - can anyone provide
: any information please?
:
: "The parallel tip screwdriver bit is
: another less common tool. They were sold for
: driving sheet metal screws by North Brothers
: and then by Stanley, at least through the
: 1950s, but still don't turn up much"
:
: I would appreciate any further information
: relating to their scarcity.
