Milwaukee screwdrivers

[rick carpenter]

Anyone use the Milwaukee screwdrivers with the round rubber overmold handles with red thumbstop for general use? I don't like their tri-lobe drivers and I've never fondled their clear thumbstop drivers. I found this summer working with my Williams set I could no longer adequately grip the smaller diameter hard handles with sweaty or slightly oily hands so I'm wondering how well the regular Milwaukee drivers hold up.

I have this in the bottle opener , seems like a good handle to me. Actually I do also have a 10mm nut driver in it as well, but that sits in my glove box just in case.

That Milwaukee bottle opener is a must have tool. Have that Milwaukee handle style in the electrical/ home maintenance bag. Use them or Kleins for clean work

Dont think the Milwaukee handles will stand up to much oil. Not sure of your budget but I like the old school Mac drivers with the grainy surface for real dirty work

I have no complaints with any of my Milwaukee screwdrivers, especially the older demo models.

I believe these are the best set they offer, with forged steel - but I honestly haven't been keeping up on things lately.. their cheaper on the hd site, but my iPad isn't cooperating with links today.

I never noticed this style had the knurled shanks, may have to check them out. A little extra grip on the shank is why is have the Milwaukee insulated drivers for electrical.

I got a six-piece set of the new Milwaukee Cushion Grip screwdrivers (not the tri-lobes, I don't care for them) early for Christmas. I've already had the opportunity to use them putting together a game my wife bought for the family Christmas, one with the dreaded "Some Assembly Required". The handles are rounded six-sided with clear plastic thumb bolsters and red plastic/black rubber on the main part with axial rubber ribs. On average, I'd say the handles are larger diameter than the original Milwaukee rubberized handle drivers, which insulated ones I'm using for electrical work.

All in all, I like them and plan on buying singles to fill in as I need them.

For grip focused handles, I'd recommend the new Lenox ones.
