It's worth $50. I wouldn't pay that, but overall, I think it is worth it. Pratt-Reed makes a lot of Screwdrivers for Klein as basically any other USA-made electrician's screwdriver.

I'll be the bad guy and say no. I think you could get basically the same set at Sears on sale for less. Pratt and Read make alot of the screwdrivers for Craftsman (look for PR on the handle)and you would get that great warranty with the Craftsman models. Your results may vary.:beer:

These days you can't trust a brand for quality, it needs a convenient warranty.

If they are like the standard Craftsman line; the metal is just too soft, IMHO... try getting a set of the Williams screwdrivers that are like the old school Snap-On hard handles! If you want Craftsman, they have a really big set that will be a good buy around this time of year... and easier to warranty too!

Most of the appeal for me was the storage tray, AND the #3 phillips. Whatever I buy neds those two items.

You see that straight slot screwdriver that's the 5th one from the right? I wish they would put that bigger handle on the Phillips #2. I've wished that for a long time. :cool:
