    I've had a pair of 7250s for a while and they are really nice, but I reserve them for fabrics. I've gone through a few daily use scissors for my bench, never really satisfied, and finally replaced the Henckels I was using with Kais. I've found the finger holes to be much nicer.

    The Facom Tools Thread.

    I have one of the Pico series too. I believe I once read on another thread that many European-branded bit ratchets come out of the same Taiwanese factory. Not sure of the origin of this one.

    Howdy from DRPD!

    I mainly use them in powered drivers, but I do have a number of other holders. The one that is marketed as a tool for bicyclists is the two part Fix It Stick, a tiny ratcheting T-handle.

    My Borneo drivers arrived today. Very nice. Their handles are more like the Wiha or standard Felo than the Felo E-Slim.

    The Facom Tools Thread.

    I recently mentioned in another thread that while looking for the best combination slotted/pozi driver I had discovered and really liked the Felo E-Slim series. I was informed there that Facom makes excellent ones too, and so I decided to try to find some at a price that wasn't too dear. I...

    I bought one of the new PB Swiss bit kits from DRPD this week that includes their version of slotted/pozidriv. The longer bits were an extra purchase.

    A while ago I decided to try to find screwdrivers that really fit the combination slotted/something else screws I find in electrical terminals. Long story short, nothing I encounter in the USA appears to be slotted/phillips, DIN rail components are slotted/pozidriv, and American electrical...

    I've got a bunch of adaptors, and none of them work perfectly with that tool and that bit. The one I chose doesn't have any identifying marks.

    I haven't needed the unlimited positions of the wheel locking mechanism, so I like the auto-lock's convenience.

    I was helping a friend wire some DIN rail panels over the weekend and a Vessel driver with a Wera 0.6 x 3.5 x 50 mm worked great.

    The 25 mm is also 0.2 mm thicker and much stiffer. I used mine recently to cut some foam.

    Otari MTR-90s came with one cheap Vessel driver. Wasn't even a ball grip. Didn't know those existed until I visited Tokyo.

    I have that KTC set too (not all pictured). They are made of a remarkably tough material, perhaps some sort of reinforced nylon. The smaller, redder KTC is nothing special.
