I got my order in and the tools are really superb. I've always been very curious about the Ergonic handles after reading Stuey's reviews on:
www.toolguyd.com
I will say that the Ergonic handles aren't quite as squishy as I would have thought from what I had read and that the handles were a bit smaller. I really like them, but am not sure that I would trade by Weras for them. The machining and finish are great though.
I bought one of the flex-shaft bit holders, as you can see in Post #121. That thing is great. Way better than the Craftsman ones that I have used up until now. It is pretty long and feels that it could handle some serious torque. The bits don't sit as deep in this driver as they do in the T-Handle and the regular solid shaft. Not sure why that is, but it doesn't seem like a problem yet. I am using Wera 1/4 bits in them.
Overall, this was a tremendous buy and I am thankful for Ash for putting the deal together for us.

Oh, and I would love to know why Felo is so big into putting bar codes onto everything. They advertise it constantly as a valuable feature. I can't imagine why I would ever need that on a screwdriver. Those German people must be pretty finicky at home!

I ended up getting the 53169 insulated screwdriver set and the 50707 steel cap screwdriver set. Both look very nice. They are my first felo purchases. The shipping was fast and well packaged.
I've wanted a set of insulted screwdrivers for a while now for working in panels and other areas around live wires.
The regular set of screwdrivers were just to try out and get a nice set of screwdrivers. Looking forward to using them and will be ordering more if i like them.
I was just looking around ash's site and the regular prices don't look bad at all.
Thanks again for doing this!

I took this for another thread but figured it was relevant to this one. The Felos and the Wera Insulated Handle and Blade kit are from Ash's sale.
Can't go wrong with German screwdrivers!
Which handles do you like best? Felo, Wera or Wiha?

Really cool stuff. Haven't really had a chance to go through it. 
here is a quick picture. I have a huge problem in trying to figure out how to organize it all.

I really like the precision set. Not sure the ergonomic really feel that much more comfortable in my hands. Part of me wishes I had got more of the others to complete the set. I haven't had a whole lot of time to go through them though and even unpackaged them yet. This could all change once I start using them.
I'm having a bit of a time trying to decided how to organize them.

I am LOVING my canvas pouch for the precisions: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361443513649?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
In the show off your screwdriver thread there are a lot of unique screwdriver storage solutions. I think you're like me in the sense that you're not the person that is just going to throw them in a drawer.
One thing I thought of is taking some cheap combination wrenches and using the closed end as a screwdriver holder...but even with cheap wrenches it's still a pretty big investment for hangers.
I think Wiha and Wera sell their racks separately also. Or of course you could make your own version of those out of wood or maybe a 3D printer if you have access.
