My three main hobbies (and side jobs) include gunsmithing, woodworking and working on old cars/motorcycles.

Somewhere along the way I stumbled across Grace USA screwdrivers and was wondering if anyone had used them and what is the quality like? I love the old wooden handled look and especially love the 100% made in the USA.

Plus, I can get the 6 piece slotted and 5 piece phillips for less than $80 shipped to my door.

Any input from people with first hand knowledge on these drivers?

Their only real advantage is they are hollowground for older flathead fasteners found on guns; not advantageous for automotive work.

When I first got into firearms I got a Grace set because I liked the look of the wooden handles and the price was right. I soon realized that the Grace set I have does not have true hollow ground tips but rather just an additional bevel on the end of the tips. Sure, the handles look nice but they don't touch the work.

My guns cost more than the screwdrivers and I wasn't willing to risk damage due to non-hollow ground tips. I slowly acquired the Brownell's Magna-Tip stuff and have never looked back. I should also add that I do not use my gun tools at work or on home projects.
