Looking for some nice mini/electronic hex and screwdrivers?

[Joe S.]

What are you guys using? I know that SO makes some nice electronic sets,
and have seen some other brands on the hobby tool sites. Looking for some
mini hex drivers and smaller screwdrivers? I actually have ONE 1.5mm SO hex
driver that I use in my work box, and the quality is good -but wondering what else is out there. I would like to get some in my garage box.

Happy Labor Day!

I like Wiha for mini/micro drivers. The Wera are nice too, but they have fewer options than Wiha at the moment. micro-tools.com carries almost all of the Wiha mini/micro stuff to give you ideas. They don't always have the best pricing, but they've got most of the Wiha mini/micro lineup on their site.

Wiha all the way. I work on computers all day and my Wiha drivers have outlasted all kinds of junk my employer keeps buying.

Moody Tools is popular with the RC model crowd and they are made in USA.

I'll echo the suggestion for Wiha. I use their screwdrivers on my model railroad stuff.

Wiha, use their stuff on my RC cars and planes.

I recently bought some Moody, I prefer them over Wiha, and they are a close match to my Wera... plus they're made in the USA.




You can get the pictured set for $26 from amazon.

I have a set of the Moody's cross-recessed (JIS) drivers I use mostly on watches, they are very good also and made in the US, as mentioned.

I've been using Moody- rebranded under Kimball-Midwest for a long time and they hold up very well.

Wiha with the pico grip. Amazon has sets.

I still have all my tools from when I repaired cameras, most were Starrett.

Wiha, Wera

 

[joenero]

I can only suggest don't buy newer craftsmans, my personal experience is that they break fairly often under light stress where the shank goes into the driver. I love my old USA Snap on precision screwdrivers but that isn't something I'd want to buy used. I've seen the Xcelite's sold locally so for me if I were to buy new I would want a place where I could return them.

Thanks for all the input!

I like the Wiha Master Set that has the plexiglass holder,
but have no need for some of the pieces in that set at
this time, and can not put that inside the tool box easily.

I may get a few of the individual sets and the folding pouches
so I can throw them in a drawer.

I have a mish-mash of Wiha, Wera, and PB Swiss. I prefer the Wiha handles over them all. The Wera handles are too large for small areas and most of the PB Swiss I have don't finger spin.

I also like my Teeny Turner by PicQuic for quick, mobile use.
