I've got a set of 6 Matco orange-handled screwdrivers that are in excellent condition.
Seems like Snap-on and Mac tools go for high prices, but there doesn't seem to be any love for the Matco stuff.
What would be a reasonable price to ask? Part numbers are:
Phillips:
86P2R
106P3R
84P2R
Straight Blade:
84R
63R
106R

I'm not sure on the price, but I like those. I found one the other day with that handle style and I like it. I may be interested in the phillips if you decide to part them out. I have enough of the straight blade type.

There is not as much value in most used matco tools because you can buy the same stuff at sears or a hundred other places new for less than the matco stuff used.

Those aren't the highly sought after SO Tenite handles; you might as well use and enjoy them Brad. :D

I like the maroon ones as well. The ones above always reminded me of the dollar store ones in appearance.
Not that I'm one to put down any brand of screwdriver. Most of mine are Vaco, Klien or the old hard handled Mac's.

The old hard handled Mac screwdrivers are pretty nice, as are some of the hard handled Matco's, but they don't compare in popularity to the SO's. I prefer the Witte Matco screwdrivers and the hard handle SO's to most anything else. I actually had one of those orange Matco screwdrivers at one time, but I got rid of it in a tool swap because I didn't really care anything for it.

The maroon ones had a nice shape to them; all they had to do is add some grain texture and they would've been tits.
