What exactly do you want to know? I find them to be quite exceptional.

Fit in the hand, does it do well with chemicals, clean up well, etc. Exceptional seems to have covered it pretty well.

I've never had to clean them up, but they fit comfortably in the hand, and are equally well suited for high and low torque fasteners. The steel also appears to be quite strong.

The 3K handles are Wiha's low-end design, but they feel as good as or better than mid-range driver handles from other brands. There are better handles out there, but these are of high quality, especially for the low price.

I'm really looking forward to getting these. I have a cheap-o 8 piece set from harbor freight right now to relieve the Husky screwdrivers that are all chewed up after years of use.
That peg hole on the driver handle for extra torque will be nice as the Huskey set is chewed up from using wrenches on the handle to up the torque when needed. I'm also looking forward to testing out the handles, never had a cushion grip screwdriver before :D

So I'm in the market for a screwdriver conversion (trying to eliminated my hated Craftsman), and this looks like the set! I was going to convert all my drivers to Witte, but doing so would well upwards of 300 bucks! How would you guys compare these to a premium Witte? Also, what sort of storage did they come in? Anything you could use in a tool box?

I would say that quality wise they compare well with the Wittes and I like the handles as much too although everyone has their own preferences on that. I believe that set comes in a plastic stack on tool box so its not likely going to be what you use to store them once you get them.

How many screwdrivers are you looking to upgrade?

These come with a plastic toolbox, nothing too fancy.

I currently have Craftsman for all my drivers, I'd like to upgrade my entire driver drawer, which will include Flat Blade, Torx, Phillips, Pozi-Drive. This set seems to be comprehensive, but after reading some of the other threads, there seems to be some discrepency over where these are made. In any of the cases, all reviews for them are high.

I have the 3K handled anti-cam-out drivers, and indeed, they do say made in Germany. The only differences between drivers are the ACOs are gray instead of blue, and have ribbed heads. There are only a few styles available in the ACO style, though.
