Screwdriver help

[winchman]

Hello
I have been a fan of the Snap on Hard handle drivers for a long time. I only owned a few odd ones until recently when I found the Williams screwdrivers that are identical could be bought via Ebay for about £60 compared to about £120+ tax from my local Snap on dealer.
My only problem is I can't find a way to buy a Pozi drive apart from the Snap on man who wants £25 for a No2!.
So many one know of a cheaper way to get them? Do williams sell them individually?
This is what I bought from Ebay, due to the stronger £1 at the time I paid a bit less for them

Have the same problem mate!

Don't think Williams offer a Pozidriv, at least not a U.S. made / hard handle one!

Snap on, when they reissue the old style hard handled drivers, which they do fairly often, never seem to offer a Pozidriv either!

Only option is to get an Instinct driver, and either pay full whack, or wait till there is a set on special. That happens fairly often, but the sets always include a costly Pozi No. 4 which I don't think I've needed in about 30 years!

Alternatively, buy a different make for Pozidriv's! PB Swiss are nice, as are Wiha, though I admit neither are as suited to mechanical work as those hard handle Snap On!

I don't have a Snap On man they are a bit thin on the ground near me.
I did look at buying just the blade but I could buy a full set for the price he wanted for one!
Not heard of PB swiss will have a look.
Its the Handles I like most nothing else like it

Why go through all this nonsense when you can just buy Wiha locally? They make hard handles pozidrives. http://www.wihatools.com/screwdrivers/basic-grips

Because I don't like the Wiha handle.

Fair enough

Fair enough

Its just a personal thing I have a few different screwdrivers but the Hard Handles are the ones I like best.
Is like a favourite tool

I prefer the Kraftform Classic from Wera. Im not a professional mechanic, but I do tinker on cars with them frequently. They hold up pretty well. Just really depends on if you like the feel or not. I do, but others may not. I certainly understand the sentiment of "don't disrespect my favorite tool". haha

Its so strange how attached you get to certain tools, at work I don't feel dressed unless I have my Victorinox multi tool and Bahco adjustable spanner in my pocket
