Show off your Screwdrivers!!!!

[Moose-LandTran]

Monte, what brand is that screwdriver second from the left, between the Hazet and the Holex?

 

[Monte]

It`s from Bahco. It looks like this but it says "Bahco" instead of Belzer. One of the last residues of the original Belzer lineup in the Bahco programme of nowadays

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Thank You.

Been looking for a set of amber plastic handled screwdrivers.

 

[Paladin]

OK, I up graded a lil bit...

I'm VERY happy with them so far, and it was a small upgrade from my previous collection.

Sean- Those are Wiha 3K's, right? So you like them huh? I've seen them online but I've never seen one in person. I think I'm going to order one and check it out. Are they German made like the rest of the Wiha line? I only ask because the price on those 3K's is so good it makes me suspicious! They sure look nice!

 

[stevejh82]

Came across this old screwdriver and couldn't help but sharing, it says Apco Mossberg on the handle, Attleboro MA. Anyone use something like this? It only reads to 25 inch pounds on the scale.

 

[bry@n]

I have that same pink screwdriver......... LOL. I thought I was the only one to ever by it.

I got that same pink Snap on screw driver. It was a well used screw driver and I had to warranty it recently. I got a orange handled one instead of the pink. It was cool because I always knew it belonged to me.

They are not labeled with any statement of origin, says "proturn"(which is their DIY grade junk) on the handle. I would bet $100 they are from Taiwan. They definitely look cheap compared to German drivers.

Mine say Germany on them and so far have performed flawlessly.

Stevejh82,
The handle on the Apco looks identical to the Vaco screwdriver handles.

That looks like an old one but Apco Mossberg Torque products still offers similar torque screwdrivers in a slightly different style.

Right, so you've just posted this for what? To offend a guy building his tool set by saying the brand new set of screwdrivers he's just bought are "junk"? Well done, you're a wonderful person.

Thank you, but I know better than to listen to him We can start with them not having a country of orgin on them. I had actually asked about this earlier in the thread, and obviously have a picture of my actuall driver showing Made in Germany. Next he says that they say "Proturn" on them which he claims is "their DIY grade Junk". Actually that is the style of the handle and has nothing to do with a lower grade driver. They actually say Wiha (which is the brand, not Proturn) and Proturn 3k (Proturn 1k on the stubbys) which is the grip style. Then he bet me $100.00 and when I accept and win he dosent pay me Oh well I got exactly what I wanted a VERY complete set of drivers at a very good price. They are MUCH nicer than any lower end non pro drivers (I.E. the standard Craftsman) The handles fit my hand nicely, and are comfortable. So far I LOVE them if you couldnt tell, I wont let this guy take me down

[Moose-LandTran]

Oh yeah, Wiha make some damn good screwdrivers, and that's a hell of a set right there. If he was such a damn expert on it, he'd know how good they were. As the saying goes "Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Yeah, he's a charmer. Short memory, too -

They're splitting hairs a bit, but Proturn insulated pliers are a brand made 'for' Wiha, rather than 'by' Wiha. The pliers and cutters are made in Taiwan, the screwdrivers in Germany.
