This is the tool I have <IMG hspace=0 src="cid:136130805@21022008-17EA" align=baseline border=0> Is it the same one? Mine has a slotted end and a driver end, both with "shields" around them to keep the tool from slipping off the screw. But the collars, or shields, don't seem quite as fat, proportionally, as the one in your picture. Anyway, I don't quite understand what you did to modify yours, based on the picture.
