FIG. 2 is an elevational view of the screwdriver handle rotated 180.degree. about its longitudinal axis from the position of FIG. 1; the same view is presented if the screwdriver handle is further rotated about its longitudinal axis theough 120.degree. and through 240.degree.;

FIG. 3 is an elevational view of the screwdriver rotated 90.degree. about its longitudinal axis from the position of FIG. 2; the same view is presented if the handle is further rotated about its longitudinal axis through 120.degree. and through 240.degree.;

FIG. 4 is a top view of the upper end of the screwdriver handle as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2;

FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view along the line 5--5 of FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view along the line 6--6 of FIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view along the line 7--7 of FIG. 1;

FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 2 of another embodiment of the screwdriver handle having the same shape as the preceding Figures, but having top and bottom portions which are transparent; and

FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view along the line 9--9 of FIG. 4; and,
