Craftsman professional screwdrivers

[cweidert03]

So after joining this site to look at floor coatings I've become addicted.

I was looking at replacing my screwdrivers as I build out my tool set. After looking through threads and searching I was going to buy some Wera screwdrivers but I thought I'd check out my local Sears store for a sale first. They had a box full of random professionals series screwdrivers for $2.99 each so I picked through and found 30 different ones.. Only thing I couldn't find was the stubs. I'll take a pic later.

2.99/pc a decent price??

I don't remember how much I paid but I purchased a few of them a while back. My local store had a bunch of them in a clearance section like you described. They did not last long and people must have bought them up quickly. I saw some on Sears.com a few days ago but some of the other guys said they were on sale in the outlet stores near them.

I have the black rubber handled ones from some time ago, and those are among my favorites. I do normally reach for the "regular" Craftsmans though.

What do the black rubber ones look like? I tried assembling a set of Craftsman Professional tools a while back. It has the screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches, etc. in it.

Usually I like to use the regular Craftsman screwdrivers also.

I think he is referring to these:

These can be found labeled as either Industrial or Professional. There were also high visibility (orange) variants which can be seen in this thread: Orange Craftsman Professional Screwdrivers!

You've got ninety bucks ******* in thirty screwdrivers...

That's robbery...compared to the original asking price at Sears...

$ 429.99 for the set with the Professional Pliers...

Or...

$ 269.99 for the 106 pc Set...

Ever heard of a "have to have one of everything" kind of person?

The pro pliers and also the wrenches were probably the best tools sears ever made.

My craftsman pro screwdrivers are my favorite. Even more than snap on. I own both and her the Craftsman pros most.

I never knew the black handled screwdrivers existed until a few months ago, now I have two sets. Really haven't had a chance to use them yet, but they seem like a great driver.

Also bought about 10 of the red and blacks off the Black Friday sale.

I think I'm covered .

Yes, these are the ones I'm talking about. I have a set of six I bought new and some other "open stock" ones I picked up over the years.

My main "go to" screwdrivers are the regular Craftsmans.

Yeah, I like these screwdrivers also.

Yeah, I like these screwdrivers also.

I have sets and sets of those, some NOS, many were given to me used.
