A screwdriver obviously but why the thread ?

A stubby Stubai from Austria with a thread. I've looked in their catalogue with no result and image searches just say it is a screwdriver. Came in a toolbox with other tools that may have been used for small engine repair..Briggs and Stratton ? 1950-80s ?

What would have been screwed onto it ? All that I can think of is a bar to assist with undoing a stuck screw.

Footprint brand end-nippers.

A smallish pair of end nippers with very narrow and flattened ends.

For getting damn close to whatever they were designed to nip off stuck out of.

Guessing maybe tacks? either uphosltery or footwear ?

Would like to know their intended use and trade used in before I go randomly nipping various items and possibly damaging the cutters :-)

Interesting construction with the folded jaws.
