Making  Porsche 356 Wooden-Handled Screwdrivers 

The need, in some cases, a burning desire to fill those vacant holes in our 356 tool kits can become an obsession. Ray Wills definitely has been stricken with a passion for completing tool kits. The really hard part has always been finding original screwdrivers. Messko gauges used to be scarce, but eBay has made them much easier to acquire. The screwdrivers, however, still are very rare, elusive and really expensive when you find them, especially on eBay!

For the past 20 years, usually someone has been making reproduction screwdrivers. Glen Clevenger, Paul Gangemi, Don Marks and Zeke Sampson were making drivers prior to my venture. Over the years, production has been limited and for good reason. Making screwdrivers without original tooling is very challenging and time consuming.

Ray has been making  screwdrivers for while now as a hobby under the name Toolwerks, which will be a part of Wills Werks. This new generation of drivers has been well received in the 356 community, even though no advertising has been done. Ray uses materials, dimensions and colors that are true to the originals. In fact, most reproductions are duplicated from original, unrestored drivers. So if you can’t find any original drivers or don’t want to pay thousands to acquire them and then pay again to have them restored to show quality, you may want to check out the photos and place an order.
