What's REALLY funny about this is that it's a super old design.
Progress is fine, but it's gone on for too long.: The "Perfect Handle" Screwdriver

The design for this form of screwdriver was first patented in the U.S. in 1903 by William S. Ward. Apparently, they're commonly referred to as "Perfect Handle" screwdrivers because this is the name under which they were sold by the American manufacturer to which Ward assigned his patent: H.D. Smith & Co. of Plantsville, Connecticut.

Many had round shafts. Some had wings on the shafts to give a way to get more torque.
