The Floating Screwdriver


'Will she be floating soon?' .
Floating Screwdriver? - if you weren't a sailor, you might think it was a cool new tropical drink that may have this lady floating in no time.

Over the years we have lost sunglasses, cameras, barbecue tongs, boat keys and yes, screwdrivers, to King Neptune. Now the camera is tied on, the boat keys have floaters attached, and we have bought multiple tongs for the barbecue. The solutions are endless - we know one long range sailor who walks around with a cork hanging from the side of his sunglasses. Admittedly he is a solo cruising sailor and a delightfully eccentric in other ways as well.
The Phillips floating screwdriver - in three sizes - .. .


It's been 75 years since Henry Phillips invented his famous screw head. Now the company is reinventing itself and has introduced a floating version of its famous screwdriver.

The hardened stainless steel shaft will resist rust, and the new Anti cam-out ribs on the bit help keep it in the screw head.

Next time you need to purchase a new screwdriver, don't even consider buying one that won't float.

To find out more details, or to purchase the screwdrivers, which come in three sizes, go to the " TARGET="_blank">Phillipswebsite.

To carry it further, you can always invest in a 'Harry's Deluxe Floating Tool Kit' - yes the bag, and each item in it, float!
