Good inexpensive screwdrivers

[Davefr]

x2. I think i have 3 sets floating around. And the individuals are nice at $1.50, the long 3/8 makes a great beater/prybar.

x3!! I bought a set and they are surprisingly good.

Stanley makes a set for about $6 at Wal-Mart or wherever else that is more than adequate for your uses.

I've got some Stanley's, they're great for opening paint cans...

How are the handles? Easy to grip? Screwdrivers are one of those tool categories that are so commonly used, it usually pays to spend a little more to get a really decent set.

Not that the HF set is not good. I did have that set but only used them once or twice before putting them in a toolbox for my nephew.

I like the handles. Easy to grip, don't slip when my hands are greasy or sweaty. These are a close second behind my Kleins but way ahead of my Craftsman.

The Christmas sales are coming up if you can wait. A couple of members have sold at cost in the past.

If you want to spend a little more than HF.

the Set above is only 25 and after upgrading to these I will not go back to the old acetate handle screwdrivers.

If you have one near you Meijer stocks these Tekton ones.

Uncle Charlie, I don't "need" that many drivers, but this looks like the best bang for the buck to me. Thanks.

If you're willing to spend a little bit more than the HF set calls for, I like these better for a cheap set:

OK, I pulled the pin on this set. They also have a 10 piece set for $19.95, but there were some good drivers in the 15 piece set. They look stout, and I like the feel of the handles.

Good call!

Family Farm and Home stores stock Tekton tools as their main brand. They often have "buy 1 get 1 half off" on their tools/tool sets.

Allied pro. Been using them at work for years. Bought 6 for about 12 bucks. Excellent grip, tips hold up, what more can you ask for for mere peanuts?
