1. FYI...
ASME B107.600 SCREWDRIVERS AND SCREWDRIVER BITS
This is the 'big kahuna spec' for everything screwdriver and SD-bits... with exception of a few standards for screw-drive recesses/tool-tips typically used in aerospace.
Prior specs [CX'd]...
MIL-B-9946 BITS, SCREWDRIVER, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR
MIL-B-9946/1 THRU /20, BIT, SCREWDRIVER,... ...
MIL-B-85643 BITS, SCREWDRIVER, RIBBED, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR
MIL-B-85643/1 THRU /5 BIT, SCREWDRIVER,... ..., RIBBED,...
2. Another idea for a 'simple prototype screwdriver'...
Get a short section of PVC pipe ~1.00--1.25-OD and the glue-on plastic seal-caps, PVC cement, generic 2-part epoxy resin... and alcohol or acetone and clean cotton cloths.
Drill hole in one end-cap, on-center, for inserting the screwdriver shank; and a 'hole-start' in the interior/center of the second cap [for 'blank-end' of screwdriver shank to 'set-into'].
Clean interior surfaces of the plastic parts [tube/caps] 'break-water quality'.
Cement-on the end-cap with drill-start.
Grit-blast screwdriver shank to attain 'bright metal' finish.
Insert drive-shank thru the hole in the remaining end-cap.
Pot-fill the capped-off tube section [~90%?] with 2-part epoxy resin.
Insert The screwdriver shank into the epoxy resin until it seats in the 'drill-start'; then cement the end cap in-position. OK to add/remove epoxy just before this step.
Fillet around the shank/cap [exterior] with excess epoxy resin.
Might consider coating the 'handle' with PLASTISOL colored-coating for a 'softer feel'.
