Looks like a real nice value
I've most surely used tools in ways not intended. However, I do not make a habit of it. If it means one more trip to the tool box, so be it. Besides, pushing a piston with a hammer handle isn't destructive, using "water pump" pliers to remove a bolt isn't destructive. Whacking a screwdriver with a hammer??yeah, a striking cap screw driver is literally made to be hit with a hammer, that is the design intention. i also have a set of wera screw drivers that i never hit with a hammer because they were not designed with that intention. im sure you've never used a flat blade on anything that wasn't a slotted screw? or used the handle of a hammer to push down a piston? or maybe you only use your waterpump pliers to adjust the packing on your waterpump?
Thats crazy money for a set of screwdrivers, you can have a good sized wera set of chisel drivers for less than £50 here;

Maybe a bit more in the states but still should be far less than that, and they have large good sized handles to torque down on.
IMO spend the money on the snap-ons.
anyone ever used the gearwrench set? seems like a very close snap on replica.
