Porsche® 914/4
model year tool kits came with a reversible standard/Phillips head screwdriver.
These tools had a plastic handle, the majority of which were black (some
1973 screwdrivers had a white-ivory handle). Similar screwdrivers
were also present in all VW® tool kits of the era.

All
Porsche 914/6 tool kits came with a 245mm standard-tipped screwdriver with an
elongated head and a shorter (190mm) Phillips head screwdriver. Both Porsche
914/6 screwdrivers, made by Klein, had translucent red plastic handles embossed with
"10000 VOLT W-GERMANY" in tiny print near the edge of one side. The
same screwdrivers were included in late 1968-1969 Porsche
912 and late 1968-mid 1973 Porsche 911 tool kits.
