Y = Yankee screwdriver – A quick-action screwdriver worked by hand. It has an inner shaft with a steep thread, turned by pushing or pulling the handle. It works better screwing in than out and demands skill.

Yeah, I have one of those but never knew it had a special name. The back end unscrews to store various types of shafts/tips from flathead to Phillips. (How did we jump from G to Y?)
