I think we share a common addiction, Monte.
You have a more broad collection. I want some more euro screwdrivers. Need to get me some (more) Wera, Wiha, Witte, PB Swiss and Felos.

Monte, how do the Pro-twist handles compare to the Ergo-twist?
That is a very impressive variety you have
Which driver do you favor most

Thank you, I have been very happy with the so far. I really wanted to get an all inclusive set since I didn't have any to start with. I bought then from Amazon Hope that helps
Sean Im curious, did all those come as a single set or did you have to purchase many sets ? Im thinking of getting rid of all my mismatched screwdrivers and nut drivers. I looked at Toptul also. I want to try to get them all at once. I checked Amazon after reading your post but all of the sets were small.

DynoDale, I think you have more screwdrivers than I have tools! Wow.
i count 251 visible drivers....mostly snap-on
The main difference is the square part in the middle of the handle of the Ergotwist screwdriver vs. the round handle of the Protwist screwdriver. I like the color coded newer Facom screwdrivers, but i also like the older "French design" screwdrivers and i guess you`ll have a better torque transfer from the hand to the handle because of the square handle. But i think it is rather a matter of taste which you`ll like better. Actually I`m on the lookout for more of the older generation drivers.
Which driver do you favor most
This is a good but difficult question which i unfortunately can`t answer. They are all somehow more or less ergonomic, some people prefer plastic handles some rubber etc. i personally prefer "rubber" coated screwdrivers were the complete handle or at least 50% is covered with rubber and ideally the "twisting zone" too. While the "twisting zone" should be round the rest of the handle should have a irregular shape (hexagonal, trigonal etc.). I also like the heavier feel of "go thru" screwdrivers so maybe i would vote for the Felo "550 series" or the "Witte Protop 2 Impact" or similar.
But it`s always a matter of how you hold the screwdriver too. Some drivers have bigger handles than others with the same tip size, i prefer smaller sizes for handles, the majority seem to prefer bigger handles, and also new styles appear every year like the new Hazet "Hexanamic" which ain`t bad (i also like the older style very much), the PB swiss ones are nice, the Wiha Proturn, the.......
The best is to buy them all

It's hard to pick a favourite for sure. I think it largely depends on application--working on a heavily rusted screw; working with high or small torque loads; small screws with little resistance to large screws that have more resistance; working on screws overhead versus below or horizontal. Those conditions will affect what the ideal screwdriver handle profile, feature, and weight would be.
In the end, to each their own.

@chreese: good eye !! I think they are made equally , i can check next week if there is a noticeable difference (e.g. material thickness) Most of the inserts are from Gedore, i have one from Hazet from the pic, another 2 for files (Gedore don`t offer them) and one for the combination wrenches from Hazet (for the Hazet wrenches, too long for the Gedore insert). Gedore ones are cheaper and shorter (so you can add the small "container") and some of the Hazet ones are too wide (for the drawers of my box)

Ive got those same channellock screwdrivers. I got them as a gift last year for Christmas. For being cheapies from Sams club ive been pretty impressed with them. They have held up great, and I've used them hard. They are my designated abuse drivers.

"Wurth" screwdrivers (6x slotted, 3x PH, 3x PZ)
What kind of quality are they? They seem to make quite a variety of products, not just tools.They are made by Felo in germany. They`re a combination between the Felo 550 series with striking cap and the Felo "Ergonic" with the "spongy" handle. Exclusively made for Wurth (Felo is owned by Wurth). Felo quality is very good.

Where did you find them in the states? Are they even available here?
you could contact www.wurthusa.com
There are 2 or 3 Wurth reps on the board here which you could contact too.
The more often I see pics of the Würth screwdrivers, the more I like them.

brake cleaner will do the job
silicone spray works good as long as you wipe it dry after.
