Finding a good set of screwdrivers has been a hobby for me lately. Recent purchases have been the Williams black handles (as suggested often here) and SK green hard handles. For years I relied on the smelly handled Craftsman, black handled Craftsman pros, and for the last 10 years the black and red 'soft' CMan pros.
Things I wanted to improve on: original CMAN had 'weak' tips, small handles, and no hex bolsters. Black CMan pro also had more tip wear than I expected and the black shafts tended to rust. The 'new' CMAN pros are good - they get pretty dirty when working on cars, though.
The Williams (garage - mostly for cars and bikes) and SK (basement - 'clean' bike restoration) address all of the issues I had with the CMAN. Tip wear is, of course, TBD.
Now here is the kicker. I rarely use these screwdrivers. I mostly use ratcheting bit drivers (latest purchases are the Williams - straight and T - and they are awesome).
I sometimes use drivers in a 'clean' environment at work. In that environment, I really like the Wiha drivers for the semi soft handles. I also like the Snap On non conducting composite soft handled screwdrivers - they are so light and comfy - but I don't have a need for that at home.
And finally, my most used screwdriver for house projects: 6 in 1 Buck Bros from home depot. Orange handle (easy to find) and only 3 bux. I probably have 4 of them staged around the house.
