These Felos

Another would be Grace.

Nepros! Nooo question about it!

They are also about the only firm making wood handle screwdrivers for mechanics rather than carpenters!

Thats is the first set of " real " wood handle screw drivers Ive ever seen.

Usually someone says " wood handle screw driver " and its always been synonymous with straight up garbage, but Id use though, and Im a bit of a screw driver snob.

The Felos look like the best quality from the online pictures.

I like that the Grace are American, but they look "dinky" from their pictures.

Anyone have experience with Gedores?

HJE has two Grace sets.

i covet the felo drivers. i have looked at them several times but have not pulled the trigger. i have felo ergonic screwdrivers that i really like and they seem to be of the same quality as them.

Now are NePros made in Japan?

Wow! I didn't know wood handled screwdrivers could look so nice! I have a drawer full of old ones, and I would trade every last one for a handful of either of those

Yes!

Nepros Show screwdriver draw quality

Gunsmiths are about the fussiest crowd when it comes to screwdrivers and most of them gravitate towards Grace.

4.8 stars from the gunsmith crowd:

i am not really sure how you tell the difference.

yes i know there are phillips tips, cabinet tips and keystone tips but as long as they have bolsters, hex or square shanks for assisted turning and a striking cap what else could a mechanic's screwdriver need. the felo and nepros both have them.
