I have no doubt that my 3rd Doctor's screwdriver is an original underground toy. Don't know that they have changed suppliers.

This is the version used by the third Doctor Jon Pertwee. I believe it is the repackaged ones. Hope it helps you out.

I just read John's answer. He explained it better than I can. It's my go-to around the house screwdriver, I keep in the the "junk drawer."

Yes, it's a new version, but like many newer versions, you're probably better off with the original. It's not identical; it's a lower-quality copy. This one uses C batteries, the original uses 3 AA batteries. We use rechargeables, which keeps the cost down considerably and which we use in a few other gadgets. This has one speed; the original has several speeds, although that might not matter to you (we use only the lowest speed). There also seem to be a lot of complaints about the quality of the new toy and its durability, and also the customer service of the "As Seen on TV" distributor that sells them. The original seems fairly well made and it's holding up intact after eight months of almost daily play, some of it pretty rough as the kitties dig into the fabric to "lock down" their "prey" hiding under the cover. It is starting to show some wear at the center where the fabric is fastened to the center mechanism, so I am looking for a spare. I think I will get the original version again, though. I saw the version made by Petlinks (Mystery Motion) and found it markedly ugly, in some kind of depressing muddy maroon color. The yellow fabric isn't the height of style either, but at least it's cheerful.

Yes I know. That was my problem also. It is apparently some kind of copy of the original. I learned my lesson. I will always check for manufacturing label from now on.

We find a similar item that is corded electric by Proxxon which is called the Proxxon Micro Screwdriver MIS1. We do not carry the Proxxon brand at this time. Other manufacturers do have electric screwdrivers (Dewalt, Milwaukee and Bosch) but they are not the same type of design.

My grandson say that the ones has ordered from this source have been originals. The details have been much better than any US made versions. He loves what he has received.

This one isn't as iconic as the 11th doctor's screwdriver. It is the one used by River Song. Not one of the Doctors.

I don't understand what you mean by "re-release"... But the Sonic Pen does NOT come in another set... So you can only get it here. The Screwdriver itself is different from the one you buy as a single. Its lighter, a bit more firm and only comes with the pen end, not the invisible ink marker.

Yea it's the real deal brother. Yea there are a lot of fake ones out there but there are no fake ones with the black DLC blade. To be sure I disassembled it and saw the date of manufacture which is only on the real ones

Wish I could tell you -- I would just take one to the hardware store and try to match it. Having to open the battery compartment with a screwdriver is the only complaint I had about this toy -- my cats love it and so do I. Probably the best toy I ever got them! Good luck.

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

Hard to say. Some are unique to the original tool and others are generic and at a lower price. I found some on e-bay.

There was not anything about it in the packaging but if you contact underground toys, I'm sure they can answer your question better than I could. Regardless this is a great toy http://www.underground-toys.com/

Agree with the other posts, this question seems cut off? I asked my 13 year old daughter if she understood this and she does not? What is the "tw". She loves her sonic screwdriver and says she has no problems with changing arrangements / pieces and making unique configurations. All sounds and functions of hers works perfectly. I concur with the others that if you are having any problems, return it to the seller. Hope that helps.

Be aware of knockoffs here. Look for stores that announce under item condition that they are sellers of buttons from Zany Toys (ONLY).
