A working stainless-steel screwdriver tied in a knot. From one side it says "best", turn it and it says "dad". Or choose your own two words.

Words

My dad has 43 screwdrivers, so obviously I made him another one.

The shaft is one continuous stainless-steel path, tied in a knot and spelled out in cursive. Look at it from the front and it reads "best". Turn it a quarter turn and it reads "dad". I wrote code that grows the path so both words line up, and tuned it for how your eyes see it when you're holding it in your hand, not from far away.

It works, too. The tip is a real Phillips head, the steel is strong (I can't bend it by hand), and the handle is heat-pressed on, with no glue.

Custom: give me any two words and I'll make one that reads your words instead. "Better / son" was my first. Words can use the letters a–z, up to 10 letters each. I check every order by hand and may turn down negative or inappropriate words; if I do, you get a full refund.

Good to know

  • Keep the handle away from high heat (ABS softens around 90 °C).
