Restoring My Dad's Old Yellow Screwdriver

I discovered this ratty old screwdriver in a box of my Dad's old tools. It seemed appropriate to restore it to its former glory.
Over the years he used it, this was probably not used so much as a screwdriver, but more as a general purpose - poke - lever - tweak - stir - device!

I cleaned off all the layers of paint and rust and grime, filed the pointy end back nice and square so that it worked as a screwdriver again, sanded it with fine paper, and applied WD40.

A simple little project, but a nice memory to have of my Dad, who taught me how to work with tools when I was very young.

That looks very nice !!! I bought a lot of misc. tools yeterday, came home, and cleaned tools all day, I enjoy it .
