Wow, made in the USA? How much those run ya? $34.99 on Amazon? For 12 USA Screwdrivers?!

Wow! Gets great reviews too! Gonna have to grab me a set. I really don't need more screwdrivers though, I guess I could use a "beater" set, *shrug*.

Not the person you quoted but they're pretty decent but the finishing isn't great, the edges on the heads are sharp...but I don't think you can beat the price. Handles look weird but they are comfortable.

I got the Milwaukee 2 pc demo screwdriver set at HD for $9.97. Full Metal tang, hex shank, metal striking cap. 5/16" slotted and #2 Philips. Coo Taiwan. Bought to be a beater set, but they seem well made.

Good to know, thanks. Are the soft parts of the grip "rubbery"? Or are they nicer, harder, like most screwdrivers' dual grip compounds? They look like they'd be sticky rubber from the pics, which I don't like.

The handles kind of look like FELO to me.

Hard rubber, like the flat surface of a hockey puck.

Here's a pic for handle size comparison, all are PH2:

Sweet, thanks, BMack37. I'll be adding a set of these cheap screwdrivers to my hanging screwdriver locking box.

I re-discovered my Red ratcheting screw driver after a 10+ year hiatus. I received it as a gift back than but moved 3 times and lost track of it. FOUND IT!! It was a bit stiff so I took it apart, cleaned it, lubed it and it's back to as new condition again. A good day and a good reunion and it does have a gasket between the body and the cap. I have more but wanted a special occasion since I found this one. Will post my collection later :)

Wow!!! Lucky to have been reunited after ten years. I have three of them (none red); smooth as silk.

Beautiful. I use my identical red one all day everyday. I don't remember it ever looking so clean and regal!

Well it won't stay pristine for too long but I do clean my tools once I am done before putting them away and being in it's box for all those years in storage helped a lot. Thanks!

How do you like that vessel ball-handle screwdriver?

I've been wanting to pick some up.

Not to take away or steel the thread meant for someone else BUT, I have a couple of those Vessel's that I purchased from Sears (made in Japan) and I like them a lot as that ball gives you a nice grip on it, nice feedback while using it.

My screwdriver drawer. Not all screwdrivers in this drawer but they're there. Still needs some work like a set of the long screw drivers and some more pocket screwdrivers.

Hanging an a rack above my workbench is a set of the Wera Laser tip drivers, my son has once again taken the missing Wiha Philips in order to replace the batteries in one of his Nerf guns, going to have to drop by HF and pick him up a set of the free sets so he has his own.

I gave all my tools to my oldest son when he left home, and started over with a new tools collection. Here is the screwdriver drawer of my toolbox.

Probably not 'show off' worthy, after seeing some of these nice screwdrivers in here, but I did find a few boxes of NOS Rosco (U.S.A.) Phillips screwdrivers at the flea last weekend. At a buck a box, you better believe a few of them followed me home!

Nice find! I see lots of Rosco drivers but usually beat to heck. I have been able to find a few good slotted, that see use from time to time.

Great find on those Rosco's. I'd have bought a bunch of them too. I have a couple of their Two-Fisters that I still use.

Hi All,

I am 23 and looking to buy a full set of screwdrivers and want the absolute best (buy it once, buy it for life). Currently leaning towards Wera or Wiha, but have seen Felo, Facom, Gedore Snap-on/Williams, Matco, and PB Swiss Tools as well. I haven't had the opportunity to hold a driver from each brand so I greatly appreciate your input on these brands and why you think they're the best.

Thanks in Advance!

Blondes, brunettes or redheads? They're all awesome but we each have our preferences. Best can be which screwdriver handle fits the most comfortably in your hand.

For my medium sized hands I find PB Swiss SwissGrip to be most comfortable with the best tips bar none. Felo Ergonic is second and Wiha Micro Finish a close third. Best for oily hands are Wiha Micro Finish and Snap-On/Williams, though the latter have handles that are a bit too big for me.

And for applying maximum torque nothing beats old-school fluted handles, like the classic Craftsman or Pratt Read.
