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?
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??

I have been very happy with Wiha. Would like to try Wera and PB Swiss, but haven’t had the chance.

As others mentioned, it varies based on your use and handle grip preference.

hand impact driver is better than striking cap screwdriver in every situation I've encountered. The exception being if you bought a flat driver with a striking cap instead of buying a chisel or pry bar. Can't help you much there I'm not admitting to using screwdrivers that way.

Williams hard handles, Wiha, and the cman pro black/red (which you can still get from SK) are all pretty comfortable to me. Hope that helps.

Thats crazy money for a set of screwdrivers, you can have a good sized wera set of chisel drivers for less than £50 here;

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MUJ39AM/?tag=atomicindustr-21

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.

Yeah, a bit more in the States, like $125 for the same item at the moment. eu64 on amazon.de and in stock. Just to give you an idea of 'free trade'
