Favorite Chinese screwdriver?

[Ton ton]

I think it's a toss up between the through tang design of the performance tools brand of screwdrivers and also the Duralast screwdrivers. I'm not an expert on the subject. Just wanted to throw it out there for a discussion. I know screwdrivers are a huge subject. But simply tell us why you like Chinese screwdrivers.

IMO Hands down, maybe the best screwdriver made. Never had one problem with the tips or handles.

I have herd from a few people on those hf Pittsburgh ones being pretty dang good. I have a 6 in 1 stanley I really like. I can only assume it’s from China

I have the ones in the previous link the handles are great when your hands are oily. I also have the Pittsburgh pro hard black handle ones they are tough.

I wish they went up to #3 Phillips.

I bought a set of the HF ones as well and have been pleasantly surprised. Just wish they had a cabinet tip flat to match.

I have a No. 3 vessel so I don't really need another no. 3 Philips.

I don't tend to use a screwdriver much any more as I have a Snap-on ratcheting driver and my Makita electric driver have pretty much taken over almost everything that the old traditional screw drivers jobs. My use of screw drivers is as what they are not intended to use for and that is prying and punching and the Harbor Freight ones can be bent into pretzels in my hands no matter the size and I have a lot of those screwdrivers from when they offer some of them for free with the old coupons. Oh well easy come and easy to the recycling.

If you like the 3 lobular handles the Tolsen tools gripro screwdrivers are quite comfortable.

Edit:
I didn't get the question at first.
I bought the complete Duralast screwdriver lineup. They feel great in the hand, and my only complaints are that they don't offer a 16" Phillips #2 and that the diamond tipped screwdriver handles aren't as nicely finished as their individually sold ones.

The diamond tipped screwdrivers really do bite into the fasteners, to the point that a work partner applied so much torque trying to remove a tapcon anchor (didn't want to wait for the impact driver), that the shaft was sheared where the black paint begins. LOL that thing rounded an impact nut driver before finally yielding. AutoZone exchanged the screwdriver without issues.

The cheap HF ones are really hard to beat for the money. Even the loose ones out of the grab box aren’t bad. And the Quinn 2 piece set I use for work and have had good luck with. I especially like the square shaft on the Quinn drivers so I can put a wrench on it and gain some leverage.

Those are actually not bad. Phillips tips hold up decently, they're not vessel, but they grip well. Handles survive hammering. I keep a 10" long flathead in my cart for prybar use and poking frames to see if they pass state inspection.

They are pretty good. Very good for the money. The tips wear kind of fast, but the handles are comfortable. I wish they sold a line of Torx drivers with green handles like this.

I like the Stanley mechanics set.. yellow/black rubber handles. I use 'em quite a lot on my jeep and truck they're durable and comfortable. I see they now have the FatMax version and might pick those up as well.

Also, I've had the Stanley demolition set and like those too.. I bought another set to keep in my jeep.

More Chinese screwdrivers: Anyone heard of.. or tried out the Impower screwdrivers? Just got mine in the mail today. $16 and they seem pretty comfortable. I'll probably just use these for dickin' around the house and whatnot.
