HF Pittsburgh Pro screwdriver question

[dawg69]

I thought about picking a set of the Pro screwdrivers just to have around (as if I need any more screwdrivers) since I've heard so much good about them here. I did notice that there are two different styles of Pro screwdrivers. Is one style preferred over the other?

TPR Handles

Comfort Grip handles

I have a set of the first ones and love them.

They both have the same TPR comfort grip handles. I have the set in the first link and really like them but wish they came in bigger sizes. That's my only gripe.

Buy the top set and then grab all the individual matching screwdrivers that are on the shelf underneath and you have a pretty complete set.

I have a drawer full of craftsman screw drivers and these are the only ones I use..

Edit: yes I mean the tpr handles.. They are great for the money

They mean the "TPR handle" set. That's the one people use. Don't know about the other set. I don't own them but i've read it. Lots of good screwdrivers man but not so much in this price range. Maybe this, kobalt/stanley (domestic components) (I think they're the same) and craftsman. Sets will vary and handles will vary; harborfreight probably has the most comfortable handles vs. the crystal handles.

I have the top set that I bought as a joke to see how fast I'd ruin them fixing stuff around the house. They're still in the tool drawer and look and work great! A few guys here say they're junk but I'd like to know what they're doing with them?

The top set.

You'll find many of those in guys' boxes at my shop. Snobs around here are welcome to spend stupid amounts of money on the Snappy sets, but I'm going to keep using these goofy little HF drivers. They have tough tips, comfortable handles, are a really good fit on fasteners, and have a disposable price.

I think they're the only Chinese hand tools I have at the moment.

^^ same here. I figured they were worth a shot at under $10, and four years later of moderate (not abusive) use they still work wonderfully. Very pleasantly surprised.
