The Bahco torx driver set is top notch. Very happy with this set. The Williams USA Phillips set is nice too except that out of the 6pc set, only the short shank #1 and #2 have the anti cam out groves. The longer shank #2 actually looks like it's been used and returned. The tip is shiny and slightly rounded. The 6pc slotted set looks a little disappointing. The chrome is all scratched to hell and there are machine mark dents on every blade. I hate to say the hf pro set looked better as far as appearance. The largest slotted driver even has the shoulders of the blade ground inconsistently. I included a pic from my crappy phone. Sorry this is the best I could do but you can see the misground blade. I was disappointed to see the slot screwdrivers have plain tips as well. No groves to hold the blade to the fastener. I will say the handles are top notch though and very comfortable in my hand. Is this just how these drivers are made and I'm being petty or is there a quality control issue here that should be addressed?

No, you aren't the only GJ guy that has had some issues with Williams screwdrivers. Go to Google and enter:

site:garagejournal.com williams screwdriver

(which is a much better way to search GJ postings) and you find lots of previous postings regarding Williams screwdrivers. Read through some of them to get a feel for the impressions of others.
