Then you are missing out on a lot nicer drivers. Snap on isnt even close to the best screwdriver.
^^^ This.
I don't care much about straight-blade screwdrivers; about the only thing I use them for, other than the occasional hinge screw in my 100-year-old house, are adjustment screws. In such cases, anything works. But when it comes to Phillips-type screws, there's a huge difference in screwdriver brands.
When evaluating a screwdriver, my first criteria is fit to the fastener. If it doesn't fit properly, the chances of a marred or stripped fastener go up. They're also more tiring to use, because to keep the driver in the fastener you have to use a lot of downforce. Doesn't matter how nice the handle is or how tough it is, if it doesn't fit the fastener it's simply not good quality — no matter whose name is stamped on the handle.
Over the years I've had drivers from Craftsman (the old WF-made clear handles), SK, Wright (which are Pratt-Read), Williams, Snap-On, and some others I'm forgetting. None of the US-made drivers fit screws very well, unless they're true Phillips, and even then have a tendency to cam out without a lot of downforce.
The SO were tougher and wore better than the Craftsman, but didn't fit screws much better — particularly the screws used in cars and other products made in or by Japanese and European companies, which means just about everything these days.
Then I found Vessel, and all my other screwdrivers went straight into the "prybar pile". They fit DIN/JIS screws properly, and even fit true Phillips heads better than Phillips drivers. They don't chew up fasteners, and their tight fit makes them easier and less tiring to use. (They fit so precisely that I can often stick a screw on the end of the driver and it will hold in place as I maneuver it into the hole. No magnets needed.) They're also available in a wide range of handle styles, so you can get just what you like.
(I'm told some of the German screwdrivers have similar performance, but I've not used them.)
