Just a heads up for anyone interested in these screwdrivers. The Homee Depot in my area has them on closeout for $30 for a five piece set. They were $49.97. The set includes #1 and 2 phillips, flats in 3/16 cabinet, 1/4x4, and 5/16x6. They are US made. The handles are bimaterial with a hard core with a rubber section. The rubber section has ridges over edges of the trilobal sections for improved grip along with raised letters klein tools on one side. The screwdrivers have a hex bolster on each blade and a hole in the handle like Witte drivers for storage or turning with another driver. The handles are about an inch longer than my other screwdrivers. The screwdrivers also have a type indicator engraved into the top of the handle that's painted white. They seem pretty stout overall. They may continue to decrease in price until they're all gone.:beer:

Dang it to hell, I guess the screwdriver in the picture is
turned on its side so you can't see the hole ... frick'n swell. :cool:

I think they are still $50 near me. I believe it's a 5-piece set.

Merkava, you broke my browser! Don't you believe in resizing photos? =P

I still haven't seen these new drivers anywhere in my area.

Also, I think that photo is a rendering and not a real photo - it's too perfect looking.

I did resize it once, but the USA
wasn't clearly visible enough. :D

I'm willing to scroll for the US of A!

Klein's biggest customer is
the union electrician; they're
smart enough to know that
those union workers aren't
going to buy a Chinese screwdriver. :D
