I like my Wera quite a lot. The main thing is I like how the handles fit my hand; their shape is conducive to how I like to use screwdrivers.

For me, the best looking are C-man pro with cellulose handle. Best ergonomics are Wera Kraftform. I couldn't really say who has the best tips.

I will admit, I never bought the hype on different screwdrivers until I used a set of Wihas. Now, Wiha, followed pretty closely by Felo are the only ones I use.

Facom Ergotwists. Made in France.
My. F*&^%ng . Favorite!

Now NLA.

Then S-O Instincts for normal use or Hard handles if oily envirnonment.

I do like the Wiha's but it takes a bit to find them. Especially singles outside of Industiral suppliers like grainger. Which ain't cheap.

I've never liked the rubber grip Kleins but I am not an electrician nor do I play one on TV. :)

C'man Pro is now the trash driver in my box.
Day in and day out 90% of the time is SO ratchteing screwdriver except for those times of access issues.

:)

I prefer my wittes from matco/cornwell and u should combine snap on/Williams hard handles because they are virtually the same except the name

Matco's by Witte. Best ever, none can come close in the amount of torque you can get with them.

snap on instinct soft grip for screws, craftsman clear handles for abusing.

I tend to reach for my SO Instincts as well.

Same here. Especially like the diamond tip phillips versions. None better for those infernal screws.

I just was introduced to a Mac guy near me and was going to pic up a set of these or the new USA made soft grips that just came out. How do you like these? Do the tips hold up? Have you seen the new ones yet in person?

My SO hard handle set got relegated to home use after I got my Matcos (made in Germany by Witte). I love my Matco screwdrivers:)

But for what I have now its my Snap on Instincts. They have the most comfortable handle I have ever used. The Philips tips are the best I have used against cam out. I have the "soft" grip and you can grip the hell out of these.

Surprised at the amount of craftsman clear handles. Do you people seriously prefer these or have you just never tried anything else? You can almost double the torque on 3 or 4 sided handles compared to the round craftsmans.

My favourite too.

I'm stalking those sk branded blue facom ones, would I buy them? Nah, got enough screwdrivers.

Screwdriver? Favorite? For what? I typically use a p.o.s. olympia screwdriver from the 70's or 80's as my go to screwdriver. I guess that's my favorite phillips head. Favorite slotted/pry bar is something crescent. Favorite precision? Doesn't exist. I use the home depot ones because the handles are comfort grip or a stanley yellow set that I've had for something like 7 years.

I'll use whatever the heck is going to work in any given situation. Hell, I'll use a knife as a slotted if I don't have one on hand.
