Long screwdriver set?

[doodah man]

I'm looking for options for a long reach screwdriver set. My MIL always asks for a couple of Xmas present ideas and I thought this would be a good one. The only one I've found so far is SK:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007PBBDE4/?tag=atomicindus08-20

There is a similar 4-piece set by CMan Pro but it isn't currently available according to the website.

Any other suggestions (up to $60 for 3 or 4 piece common sizes)?

Thanks in advance.

go for them, i love my sk screwdrivers.i dont have the hard handle ones you posted, but i do have the cushion grip extra long http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005XMYPE2/?tag=atomicindus08-20 as well as standard length cushion grip, and they are great. they are generally my go to set and the blades and tips still all look new.

speaking of, I'll be buying the Wera Kraftform set soon, and I can't seem to find a set with their long screwdrivers..may have to buy one by one. Anyone know of a "master set"?

EDIT: found a long set....http://www.powertoolsdirect.com/wera-kraftform-long-series-screwdriver-set-4-piece-pz-ph-sl

OP, have you seen/handles the CMan Professional soft grip. If you like soft grip they are a lot of bang for the buck. I personally don't like hard handle, just my 2 pennies.

Those look nice, along with these GW...http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014DDGU8/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I would rate my SK drivers with my Snap on's in terms of quality. I absolutely love them. The tips are great. Dollar for dollar SK is tough to beat.

 

[cburnscrx]

Yep, if you like hard handles, the SK's are going to be tough to beat. If you like a soft grip get the Craftsman Pro's (Same as the SK cushion grips) for less money.

Enjoy!

*I have the Craftsman Pro's and they're great!

can't go wrong with S-K. i've got some very long Proto screwdrivers but i don't think all the long ones are sold together in a set.

I have had the long philips head in that set for about ten years now. Hands down my favorite screw driver ever. I assembled about a hundred computers with it and opened up who knows how many to repair. Perfect for not getting your hands sliced up on the cases.

I have some of those SK hard handles you posted, and I love them.
They are the first screwdriver I reach for, every time.

I like s-k's hh drivers. Only thing i dislike is that for the bigger drivers the handle gets bigger.

That looks like three flat blade and just one phillips (probably PH2). Is that correct? Personally I think the PH2 would be the only one I'd be likely to get any use out of in that set.

I'm debating on these GW's, the S&K's, and piecing together a Cman Professional set....

Anyone have issues with the Cman Pros?

 

[Brownsfan]

I have the craftsman pros. They are absolutely great for the money. Now finding them is a different story.

 

[bcradio]

Craftsman pro long set has been good for me. I also got the wiha long multi bit screwdriver which is nice for putting any bit on it.

 

[Fedwrench]

I would get the Proto Duratek long blade set from Zoro. They also sell individual drivers and a 2 piece 24 inch set.

The new SK hard handles aren't shaped the same as the old French made SK drivers. The new ones are more like pry bar handles.

 

[WilltheEngineer]

Those Proto's do look nice!

I have no issue with the "pry bar" style grip. Mainly looking for 16" PH & flat head. Which is why I was thinking about just buy two CM Pro's, but saw some reviews about the tips not being that good. Didn't know if it was mis-use or spotty bad metal..

I don't know about "Long Reach Sets"...


But my Proto Professional Yellow Handles include some long drivers...


See photos...


Available from Amazon, Epstein's, Zoro, etc...


The 18 pc set is available from Epstein's for $ 65.00//The 19 pc set comes from Amazon for $ 98.95...


I love mine...

Anybody have a link for the craftsman pro?

I buy long shaft drivers when a good deal turns up, Mayhew Catspaw, SK, PB Swiss, a few cheap ones, but only thing I end up using is the Mayhew that has a flex and bit holder.
