Got a Stanley one of those, together with one of the heavier duty 'crank' ones, inherited from my brother, together with other wood working tools. Showed my woodworking/builder son a Govt Surplus 1943 (dated, with arrow mark) ratchet screwdriver.
'Didn't know they had them back then'.

Month or so later, saw a pre WW11 '100 Woodworking Projects for Boys' book in a s/hand shop. Gave it to him, he was amazed at what used to be done.

I have 2 of those, as well a swing braces for augers and 2 Archimedes drills for very fine drill bits.

I also remember the old round Rawlplug chisels for "drilling" holes in masonry (and using fibre or wood plugs).

I had the auger,rawlplug tool, hand drill etc as my tool kit in 1969. For some reason, i kept them for wqiote awhile after buying drills and later on battery drills. Thrown the lot away a few years ago.I have just one tool left from that 1969 set i bought and its a Stanley blue handle bevel edge half inch chisel. Cost was 11 shillings
