    If you just use it for screws it is hard to beat a klein (us made). However if youpry with it it will snap easy. Stanley is reasonable and even the $1.99 phillips and flat US made set at home depot or lowes is a very rugged screwdriver. I buy the stanleys and keep em with my tools to loan out or...

    Chainsaw recommendations

The thing most overlooked on chainsaws is the bar...
