I have one similar, probably one of my first tool purchases from a charity shop 30+ years ago, found it the other day, yes, it's bent, but it's an old friend, totally abused, but still going strong. Looks liké it's worth nothing, but sentimentally...I have a very large Snap On yellow handled screwdriver that has great balance and "feel" about it, used regularly as a drift or pry bar, I have filed the end square a couple of times, Took it off a lad thirty years ago when he tried to stab me with it. He was trying to burgle my dads place at the time and I was as fit as any and would take anyone on back then.
I’m not sure if it’s a sign of living in a good area that even the burglars use snap onI have a very large Snap On yellow handled screwdriver that has great balance and "feel" about it, used regularly as a drift or pry bar, I have filed the end square a couple of times, Took it off a lad thirty years ago when he tried to stab me with it.

I can beat that, I've got a pair Stillsons stamped 1927.I've been using an nice little hammer at work on Aeroplane bits. Cleaning it off I noticed it said "A.M. 1940". Still in regular use 80+ years later
