help with old screwdriver kit

[pensbybruce]

I was cleaning out all of my pen turning supplies and I found a tool kit from Berea it has screw driver bits in it. I do not have the tubes. The parts that go into the brass tube are .373-.375 diameter. Any help on where to find tubing to fit? The tool kit was 5808/TB-HP-1 The bushings were 5808/TL 10B which is probably for the B mandrel. It's amazing what you find when you are home and no place to go!!!

Penn State sells a screwdriver keychain kit. Could it possibly be the same?

Very unlikely , I would think.

Takea lok here. If this is the kit you have there is no tube.

No this kit has much smaller bits and when it is finished it looks like a pen. The parts all are press fit into brass tubes. I do like that kit and might give it a try.

Take a look at all the seam ripper kits or toothpick holder kits or any kit that is not used as a pen but a holder of items and maybe something matches up.

I believe that is the kit he was referring to.

I made these 20 years ago, and still have the original instructions. Don't judge! Calls for 13/32 tube. The upper tube is 2" and the lower is 2 3/8" length is not critical since there is no extend/retract. I bought the kits at woodcraft.

I called Berea Hardwoods and they still have some tubes left. They are 60 cents for 2. They are not listed on the website. I have nothing but praise for Berea as their service is great. Thanks to all who offered help.
