Slotted screwdriver recommendation

[JHZR2]

What’s the best modern version of a USA made screwdriver that’s exactly like my Hardware Industrial Tool brand slotted?

This one is old enough to predate zip codes. It’s Phila. 21 USA.

I’d like this exact kind - no frills hard handle, hex on the top near the handle, etc.

Must be USA made.

Samstag has used ones but I suspect I can get new for about the same.

you want the vaco bull driver

I see nothing wrong to it. Put the tip into a grinding wheel or sharpening stone to have a straight tip, and you'll end up another 100 years use to it.

Not the point - the one I have is great. I’d like another.

Close!! It doesn’t have the hex at the top. I’ve found that to be helpful in some situations.

Exactly the same and new I sort of doubt many are available as NOS, these look close.

Williams - made in the USA. Hardened tips. Hex on the shank for a wrench if needed.

The square grip is different, but I have come to really like them. The fit my hand well, and don’t roll when you put them down.

Those are the old Snap on from 1971 (when I started using them in school) and probably earlier to the point they put the Williams branding on them. One of the best screwdriver sets you can buy.

I wish I had not seen them, now I want them!

I recommend the Snap-on/Williams like what is listed above. I absolutely love those handles and they have the hex as well too. They are my first grab if I need a screwdriver. The tips are very good too.

PB Swiss, Vessel and Wara make some great screwdrivers.
