Those have holes in the handles......they'd be useless to me.

A good comfortable screwdriver for the money is a GearWrench screwdriver. I may not like their magnetic extensions, but I like their screwdrivers.

I would say it's a decent deal. That set runs $205.66 on the Wiha site. I bought a 3k flat tip and a #2 phillips to try out. The blades are typical Wiha quality and the handle is very comfortable. The only downside to this set is that there are several narrow flattip screwdrivers that take up space in the set. If need the sizes included, I would get it.:thumbup:

I ordered that set after Stuey started a thread letting us know about the deal. I was like a kid in a candy store going through all of the drivers when the order arrived. At $3.00 per screwdriver I think that it is a great deal.

If I had the need and the $$$, I think I might go for it too...

I'm curious...why does a hole in the handle make it useless?

Wouldn't buy this set...

Reason:

Where is the bolster (this 10mm hex at the shaft)??? All are blue...the german version has different colours and another grip...and different materials for an oily or dry environment!!!

I've been loking at these for a while and its the best price I've seen. Get it fast before amazon changes the price. It can change overnight. All the Wiha stuff is excellent IMO. Micro tools allways has them for $115 but they want almost $40 for shipping. I'd say get'em while the gettins good.

My 40 piece Wiha set arrived today.......lots and lots of screwdrivers..........I was impressed with the Ergo handle and the tip quality is excellent on the couple I tired out.... the set does contain 11 TORX drivers that I am not sure I need....... I will sleep on it and may wind up selling the torx drivers......also, the rolding rule and nice Stack-on carry case were nice features.....

I preferred the Wiha heavy duty microfinish to the ergo 3k. $8 or $10 each, but still cheap, just not what I might order 40 of in sizes and types I don't really need.

I received a set of the 3K torx as my SS present (Thanks again LoneGunman), I had the chance to try out the T8 on something today and my first impression was very positive. So far I would say that they are on par with the Snap-on and Witte drivers that I have as far as ergonomics and quality go and they look pretty good too.

Good deal, but I personally hate the handles. I don't buy Cornwell(Witte) screwdrivers for the same reason.
