Diversification of driver types

When discussing the global (N. America and Europe at least are mentioned) history of screwdrivers, it's not really appropriate to indicate when something happened by referring to a period in specifically USA history (the Gilded Age). I propose to replace that with "the late 19th century". 203.23.239.198 (talk) 08:15, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Screwdriver Bit

There's a draft at Draft:Screwdriver Bit - should this be merged, or is it sufficiently distinct to have an article of its own? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 10:40, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. It's a more useful article afterwards.

Also much of both of these is the section on List of screw drives. We don't need yet another copy of that. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:57, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea to merge them DVZ2 (talk) DVZ2 (talk) 21:15, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Don’t merge. But the focus of the article should be on the aspects that aren’t shared with screwdrivers per se, namely the shank standards, etc., but not on things like the screw drive types. — tooki (talk) 14:45, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
