How many sets of screwdriver do you have

[Ratchet Guy]

How many sets of screwdriver do you have? do you always buy one if you bump into a good deal? is there such a thing as not too many?

 

[L.Cheapo]

Two. The big 20something piece craftsman set I bought in the early 1990s when I was just starting out, and my beloved set of Snap On hard handles. In between a Snap On ratcheting screwdriver covered 95%+ of my needs, and is still the first one I grab unless it wont fit. I find I don't use screwdrivers much anymore. Many fasteners are torx, allen, etc now.

 

[PelicanPines]

wow... full set of Klein, full set of craftsman, 2 sets of wera (laser cut & solid shaft), 2 sets of wera micro, 1 other set of micro, numerous specialty sets.

 

[natas2000]

way too many ...way too many

 

[PelicanPines]

way too many ...way too many

Thankfully it wasn't a question about pliers...

 

[rockinacummins]

Zero. All my screwdrivers are singles I've picked up at pawn shops and flea markets.

 

[Empty Pockets]

I have purchased 1 set of CM Screwdrivers back when I was a teen, since then, I have adopted many stray screwdrivers through a series of auctions, garage sales and flea markets. I now own so many screwdrivers, i could likely stock 3 hardware stores.

I purchased a set of Stanley screwdrivers a couple of years ago for next to nothing after rebate..... Those were given to my grandson that Christmas, now he has the tool bug as well.

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

I have bought 4 sets of the years, none have survived complete except for the craftsman pro set. The 2 basic craftsman sets are missing a couple each, and the neiko pro set has one missing and two broken. Rest of my drivers where night as singles.

Whay to many to organize. Most are in a 4ft wide buy 4 in deep drawer that is full,plus some hanging at a work bench and some in a service cart. Mostly older Mac red hard handles, so org hard handles,so red soft instincts (my fav). With some craftman,Stanley and witte & hf thrown in the mix.

I'd like to find a set of the old wht/grn sk screwdivers

 

[gsingh]

I think I have seven sets of screwdrivers and eighth one I want to buy. I have already run out of space in that drawer.

 

[1978silverado]

I have a good set of snap on green hard handle screwdrivers from the late '90s.I also have a set of craftsman that take a beating.

 

[mark.dziamski]

I have a set of huskys which is the set I abuse and then I have my set of snap on hard handles

I think one actual seti bought that is light in the torx and Allen heads, and a bunch of miscellaneous "sets" with a couple Philips and flat heads. Also have a bit driver I use a lot and when there is room I just use my drill on whatever setting I think it's appropriate for the task. I could stand to get a good set, but at this point it's mainly for having multiple lengths and sizes in a standardized set so I know when I misplaced something instead of guessing if I actually had it to begin with. Lol

 

[87slosohc]

Think two, a wiha precision set and a Mac torx set. The rest are the left overs from other sets that haven't been worn out or given away.

90% of the time I grab a Lenox 9in1 or Milwaukee 11in1. But my work ranges from automotive, heavy equipment, hvac and industrial maintenance.

 

[rodsnratfinks]

While I don't normally believe in having multiples of a type of tool, I sort of break that rule with screwdrivers (but not excessively so). I have one clean set, one dirty at (but I clean them both), an electricians set, an electronics set, and a precision set. They are Matco, Snap On (hard handles), Klein, Snap On, and Wiha.

[Can I try?]

Oh, wow...too many...and yet somehow not enough.

 

[theoldwizard1]

I have a large Craftsman set in my tools chest and another in my "road box". The wife has a smaller set of Craftsman in her tool box.

I am building a set of Weha Standard Precision screwdrivers in my computer tool box; Torx T10 and down and Philllips P1 and down.

 

[dodge610]

More sets than I want to admit. And lookin to build a set of carlysle. In extreme green.

 

[Atlasunit22]

I have none.

 

[oldldh]

One set...

36 Screwdrivers...

All Proto Yellow Handle Professional Classics...

 

[Bigblue&Goldie]

One master set from Proto, a set of Whia precision screwdrivers, and a Snap On ratcheting screwdriver. I have no use for any more than that. Screwdrivers aren't like wrenches or sockets where you sometimes need to use two of the same size at once.



......I lied, I need to get some JIS screwdrivers for my Honda's.

 

[Finky198]

At my work bench/box something like 7-8 sets

Wiha precision set
Wiha insulated set
Craftsman 90' offsets set
Craftsman Ratcheting bit wrenches set
Jewelers mini set
Snappy 4in1 Hard Handle
Snappy 1 stubby and 1 std interchangeable mag tip
Snappy Hard Handles non complete set
Snappy ratcheting 1 stubby 2 standard 1 long
all hard handle with interchangeable shank mod
all snappy stuff is either Black or Yellow

and yes I used every single one on a Regular Basis

we have a few sets of craftsmans there really shop tools

 

[Bessy]

was gifted a set of Mastercraft comfort handles (rubberized grip), I believe about 40pc total. Honestly I hate them, as they are not the easiest to clean, and always tend to feel grimy if they ever get exposed to fluids. Because I don't tend to use a whole lot of screwdrivers on a real regular basis (my hard handled Great Neck handles most of what I need day to day) I figure the way to go is to just pick up the odd hard handled screwdriver (or set if it's a really good price) as needed until I can totally phase out the soft grips. especially for the larger sizes I would consider it almost imperative that I make sure to factor in either a hex shank or at the very least a hex near the handle as a benefit when working on large screws (such as mounting screws on the transmission of a Sears Sub. Tractor, my current project).

Other than the 40pc set, I have the great neck 4in1, a pair (long and stubby) 7in1 Master crafts (Christmas gift, basically junk), and the odd old Fuller or Stanley that I have collected from past years (mostly either found in odd places or hand-me-downs)

 

[PartsGuy27]

1 set of Craftsman, consisting of different styles some of which have come from various garage sales and flea markets over the years.

1 set of Snap-On I got off Craigslist for a far too reasonable price.

1 sets of Snap-On I bought new off the tool truck.

1 set of Snap-On I bought off Craigslist with broken handles and I sent them in for warranty and got a brand new set.

1 set of Harbor Freight that was a "free gift" with the coupon.

1 set of Harbor Freight that I bought as a cheap set to keep in my truck.

Guess I had more that I thought...

 

[Olafur]

One set...

36 Screwdrivers...

All Proto Yellow Handle Professional Classics...

How do you like them?

 

[JettaGetUpandGo]

The first screwdriver set I bought was a 26 pc. Craftsman set over 10 years ago. I got a Milwaukee set last year to kind of replace the worn Craftsman pieces (really just wanted an excuse to get the ECX screwdrivers for electrical work).

Earlier this year I found a number of Craftsman Professional screwdrivers as they were being discontinued to keep in the garage. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of them and prefer the standard set.

Thanks to this forum and the review woodstockva did, I'm tempted to buy a set of the Wera screwdrivers with the laser tips and selling off the Craftsman Professionals.

That puts me at 3 full sets, oh, and a basic Craftsman set in each car (phillips/slotted/torx), so... 5 sets?

 

[oldldh]

How do you like them?

Best I ever used...

Alas, out of production...

But, you can still find sets...

Like at Epstein's...

The big set is $ 64.00 and the 27" Gigantic slothead/prybar is $ 20.00...

They have 4 sets left, better hurry...

[lightning02]

Alot. Wish I could sell them off and buy all snap on but I don't have that sort of cash to dump in screwdrivers.

 

[d.mcfarland]

Does a set of 1/4" bit drivers count in this situation?

 

[bsaint]

Just one official "set." The rest are screwdrivers Ive bought as I've needed them

 

[lightning02]

One set...

36 Screwdrivers...

All Proto Yellow Handle Professional Classics...

do they make a set that has every yellow handle?

 

[christopher7390]

way too many to count!

 

[boatmechanic1989]

really guys? that many sets? why. one is sufficent alongside ratcheting screwdriver or something.

 

[SMKS]

I have a 6-piece Wilde set in the garage, a set of SK in the house, a set of insulated drivers and then a bunch of cheap swap-meet singles.

 

[dr_clyde]

Two snappy instinct, two snappy hard handle, 1 jeweler's set, one small instinct snappy, and a pile of singles ive picked up over the years.

Works out to one in my main work box, one in the road box, one at home, and one in my desk at work.

 

[chiz1180]

4 sets here. Mostly spread out, over various boxes. Mostly for convenance not necessarily for need.

Here is my collection, there is a rack with the Wera with the laser tips hanging on pegboard above my work bench.

 

[woody 73]

I have a lot of used screwdrivers I pick them when I find them.

 

[90zcar]

One set in my drawer. Never understood while people have 100+ screwdrivers. You ask them about it and they say they use every one of them.....BS

ANYWAYS...I have a snap on set which I added a couple larger sizes to and then I have a couple hf and craftsman flatheads for opening paint cans, prying out small seals and digging dog **** out of my shoe soles
