- Filmtools partnered with a Swiss manufacturer to distribute a T-handle version, but the manufacturer later stopped production.
- Craftsman discontinued the stubby number 7 screwdriver, though full-length versions remain available.
- Husky brand offers a stubby number 7 screwdriver available through Home Depot as an alternative.
- PB Swiss Tools manufactures a cross-handle number 7 screwdriver that can be ordered through Filmtools and other distributors.
- Panavision London has sold these screwdrivers at significantly lower prices than some other retailers.
Depends on
