I used this one on a boat that I built that needed to have a lot of slotted screws installed. Much easier on the wrist.
Every tool is a ‘hammer!’ Gotta do a hammer..
It’s also good at ruining screw heads. Whoever invented TORX needs a medal plus his/her weight in gold.
They are easier to clock, too. 
I think I still have a Yankee! They are great. A lot quieter than an impact driver. But they do slip sometimes.

Thanks Dave, those are great. What profile does the third one make?
The second and third are the same plane. It does a bull nose shape. Nothing too crazy.
I would LOVE some cookies! Just drop them at the front desk and I will grab them after the stream!
Disregard if off-topic. I get the concept of making cookie dough in the shop (mostly a large paddle drill bit I guess). But with no oven in the shop would a blow torch be used for ‘baking’? Modeling shop-based cookie baking tools and implements seems like it could fill in these gaps.
Just turn the forge down real low
This drawknife just showed up on a brown truck. That would be a cool thing to model in the live stream.
Or maybe an egg beater type drill.
Dave, you have quite the collection. Is that the Ed Gein Pro shin scraper? A bit morbid for a Live recording, dontchathink?
LOL!
You know, that drawknife was sent to me by a friend in Wisconsin. Not sure where he got it but maybe from Ed’s estate. He must have cleaned it up well.
I guess I do have a fair number of old tools. Most of them inherited I’ve got a 1942 Delta scrollsaw with the retirement light, a 1943 Atlas/Craftsman drill press, a 1932 Walker Turner Drill press and a few other old machines. I figured Aaron wouldn’t want to model those. Just the retirement light could make a good SketchUp modeling demo.
Ah-huh. And how do you know this “friend”?
Okay, I read the rest of the post and it seems to check out.
Whether ‘antique’ for the collection or still in operation, there is a real beauty to some of these old tools. I take it you feel that way about tools… and little engines especially. 
Actually he’s a woodworker whom I’ve helped with SketchUp for more than a decade.
I do like the old tools. I find them quite beautiful. There’s a real lack of visual aesthetics about many newer tools.
My take is that they are beautiful because they look like what they do. Meaning they have a logical-mechanical form that is inviting to the eyes. Is mechanical visual aesthetics a thing?
Find out in the next SketchUp Live!
I’d like to see @TheOnlyAaron model the knurled adjustment screw, and the lever to change blade angle.
