Hi there,

I hear brief mentions of Irazola screwdrivers on this forum, but not so much compared to some of the other brands. I managed to get half of these on eBay for around 25% of the new cost. The tips were untouched! I had to buy new to complete the sets which double my spend.

These are what is know as the Tekno+ range, so i'll give you all some info about them.

Some of them are actually branded Bahco as they appear to have taken over. Exactly the same except the colour of the plastic is slightly different and the 'Spain' laser etch on the shaft has disappeared.

They seem well constructed, four sizes of handle. You can get each one with/without the hex bolster and once you go above PZ2 you can choose between a strike-able version or not. Strike-able ones always come with the hex bolster.

Not encountered a PZ4 screw head, here at home but you never know! :thumbup:

Next up are some NWS Titan finish pliers:

Having only owned 'cheap' pliers I decided to take the plunge. I liked the look of the titan finish so ordered these up.

Impressed with the quality, pivot action is smooth with no play. Also bought a neck cord which clips on the handle really securely. Might have to expand the collection heh.

They say "Fantastico" SOLD!!!!

Kind of new age looking but if they are good Tools and made well I could see using them. I would really have to get my hand on them to check them out. Nice looking Tools though

My complaint is about those same NWS needle nose pliers that you have. My jaws do not close all the way. They will not grip a sheet of paper.

Any new additions of mine will probably be Knipex.

I have a few of those Irazola and Bahco drivers. I really like them, but they are not easy to find except for a few sets here and a few expensive singles.

Old thread, but it still doesn't look like the drivers are available in NA. Great, something else to obsess about! LOL

I have a couple of these Irazola drivers too! The handles look ugly but they are actually very ergonomic. Much better then some!

I really like the bright colours! When you've got loads of different tools on the bench I find it's essential to differentiate the different types quickly. Pozidriv different from Phillips is an essential, but complete colour coding, including hex and torx, is just great!

You'll find PZ 4 screws holding on the doors on many BMC cars from the late 60's / early 70's!
