--Previ Mike, You've discovered one of the secrets
: of the North Bros. "Yankee" line
: of tools. They last! I have several No. 30
: screwdrivers that are more than 100 years
: old and they still work well. That's very
: hard for companies to duplicate in this age
: of throw away tools. In 1929 North Bros.
: began a major upgrade to their tools, making
: their internal mechanical design much
: stronger. These new tools were designated
: with an "A" suffix in the model
: number to denote the modification. Your
: estimate of 50 years is right on. Dave

: What an amazing tool! My Dad passed some
: years
: ago and left me the "YANKEE" 130A
: north bros. tool.
: Still tight, and working to this day and I
: would guess it is probably over 50 years
: old! Kind of beats heck out of no power
: outlet for the driver or a flat battery on
: the portable tool!
