Screwdrivers - What To Buy

[TexF18]

Wera impact Screwdrivers are great for beating on. I really like the handle shape.

Right answer. The hard instincts are every bit as easy to clean as the old HH were and far easier to grip. Instinct is as revolutionary as the old HH design was.
Buy online full retail and you will have easy warranty service forever. I recommend picking up a few #2 Phillips cabinet screwdrivers while you are at it. Very helpful.

Don't forget that as you get older you loose hand strength. Instinct really help.

My thoughts exactly!

Those look really nice. Too nice, for something designed to be wailed on with a hammer. How do they compare to the Snap On variety?

Edit: You ARE talking about these, right?

Wera - Chiseldriver Screwdriver Set 6Pc (Ph/Sl), 932 S/6 - 5018283002 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A2ARZCY/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Meant these. I used a flat head to beat on a rust car to get the wheel to detach from rotor. The tip didnt deform.

I was wondering if you might have been talking about the Chiseldrivers...

Wouldn't mind trying those either.

Gents,
Getting the 8-pc set of soft handled instincts. Been all over the SO site looking for a customer service email address and can't find anything. Have limited space, you guys with this set, please advise dimensions of the storage case. I would hate to keep these in the box without their case.

Damn - thanks for all the posts. Been following the suggestions and now I'm waiting on the SO guy next week for a look at the soft & hard handle instincts. Yep, age is definitely the deciding factor. Couple of bad fingers, unrepairable right thumb and I'm probably going to need the easiest on the hands I can find.
Thanks gents for the assist.
Bill

technically I have this type. Simply because I started off with a single and grew the set. Regardless of this, all of their grip types are awesome in my opinion.

Went with the soft handled instincts. Red 8 piece & orange 4 piece.
Loaded 'em up on the new tool thread already.

Thanks for the assist fellas.

I just saw you got the Snap-ons, I would have recommended you check out Enderes. I really like their stuff.
