Show off your Screwdrivers!!!!

[jvitez]

JonnyMac: orgiastic! That's the most PB Swiss I've ever seen in one location.

If the Canuck buck wasn't so terrible I'd be ordering more PB Swiss goodness even though I've got way too many screwdrivers, but I can't justify the cost with a $1.38 exchange rate. I'm glad I bought a whack of tools when the US and Canadian dollars were at par about 6 years ago.

 

[JonnyMac]

Jvitez... im in australia... not the US!!

 

[jvitez]

LOL! I guess I should have looked at the little black squiggles under your photo!

BTW, love your signature.

Here's my wife's well some, I have the yellow and grey snap on instinct screwdrivers and a ton of others just to lazy to go out to the garage will post mine tomorrow.
Hers consist of snap on,mac,and matco only she likes theexpensive stuff she has since hot ten more tools since this photo but boy they have been expensive and hard to find.

 

[SnapOnAddiction]

I saw these and had to have them. They now live in my tool cart/box at work. Along with some Witte VDE and Wiha VDE precision drivers. They supplanted some snappy orange instincts.

I have the xl set of those is my box and the yellow and grey instincts and my wife has the pink I almost bought that set but decided not to as I have so many.

Best Screwdrivers has to be Belzer!

My collection.

 

[mowkep]

Good God, I look at some of these collections and say "WOW". I'm not worthy

 

[JacksoNRolyaT]

Finally got my screwdriver drawer looking like something special this week.

 

[mowkep]

My sad assortment

 

[jeffmoss26]

if it gets the job done, then it's not sad

 

[metaldad]

yeah, what the hell. these are 2 outdated pics, of the walls of the crypt. missing, is the 'front' facing pegboard, and all the other drivers, in other boxes/pouches/ chests/ cars
i have since 'reorganized' and crowded the walls.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Always loved your setup!!

 

[dwasifar]

Some of you guys might fit the clinical definition of hoarders, or OCD.

This is not my complete collection at all, but I did recondition a small set of old Craftsman Industrial yesterday, so here's a pic of of those:

 

[dwasifar]

This is probably the most fiddly, fussbudget, OCD question you're likely to hear all year.

Let's say you're going to put this screwdriver set into its own wall rack:

Five each of slotted and Phillips, three different handle sizes.

Would you order them by handle size regardless of tip, or would you group the Phillips together and the slotted together?

If you'd group them, would you order both groups by large-to-small, or would you make the left group small-to-large and the right group large-to-small? The advantage of the former is consistency; the advantage to the latter is symmetry, and not having to fish a small handle out of the middle.

Please help me with my OCD.

 

[ecotec]

This is most of mine.

........Please help me with my OCD.

No worries my friend, you don't have OCD. At least no more than anyone of us who follow this thread. BTW, I don't have OCD, I have CDO. It's like OCD except in alphabetical order like it should be.

What I would do would be group them in Phillips then slotted, either largest Phillips to smallest Phillips and largest slotted to smallest slotted or vice versa depending on which side you think you'll use the most. Mixing up Phillips and slotted would be really annoying when you're looking for a particular size in a particular tip.

 

[ultgar]

All personal preference....

Some like each progressively larger tip size to be 1" (25mm) longer in length. For example (using a Euro brand and metric sizes),

Phillips.......#0x75mm, #1x100mm, #2x125mm, #3x150mm

Slotted - 3.5x75mm, 4x100mm, 5 or 5.5 x 125mm, 6 or 6.5 x 150mm , 8x175mm, 10x200mm and 12x250mm.


Others go by what is most comfortable in their hand. Smaller lengths for precision, longer for reach or access in tight spots.

first of all, that aint the complete set.
and, you need a bottle opener flanking each side.
probably, length of shafts, l-r, slotted/phillips, width of blade, #phillips, with torx, square, nut driver, screw starter arranged by size, small/large, l/r, on the right side.

Grouping was my gut preference. You wouldn't mirror the sizes? Small-to-large on one side and large-to-small on the other?

I like Tekton USA made screwdrivers. I don't use them as prybars though and I don't beat on them with hammers.

And thats all you need really.
Cannot see the need for 100's of screwdrivers.

 

[dwasifar]

Well, these arrived today:

I go out of my way to buy a Made-In-USA product, with high hopes, and as soon as I get them into the rack I can see the Phillips shafts are crooked. You can see it in the picture (look at the two longest Phillips). I'm not sure if they're molded that way or just bent, but either way I'm very disappointed. Someone at Channellock doesn't care if his job goes to China.

These were bought from Circle C Supply in Bazine, KS. I called them and they're sending out a replacement set, but if this is a manufacturing defect, and I think it is, I have no reason to expect the replacements to be any better. Circle C didn't sound happy about it but they didn't argue.

Made in USA.

 

[kylefitz]

My collection. I love the PB Swiss drivers. I wish they offered all the sizes in the multicraft handle style. I think the soft handles will get dirty very easy. I bought most of the philips and slotted back when amazon was closing them out.

The bondhus in the back work well for what I do at home.

 

[ARFLY]

Here are some of my screwdrivers. I am getting my shop set up now so a lot of them are still in the boxes and packages and some are just dumped in drawers. I still have some in totes stored away at different places. I will have another thread on the progression of my shop.

Awesome. Can you tell about the screwdriver holders. I can't really see them to good in the pictures. I need to either buy some or make some. I am leaning towards making them.

[ARFLY]

Thanks. I looked it up and Home Depot sells it also.

This thread inspired me to straighten up my screwdriver drawer...



Kind of a hodgepodge; Wiha, Vessel, PB Swiss, KTC, Engineer, Moody, Craftsman, Snap-on

 

[AngryBeaver]

Here's my screwdriver drawer.

 

[jeffmoss26]

I am GREEN with envy.

Do you have the part number for the hard handle set in the upper right that includes the ratcheting screwdriver? Thanks

I do not... that one was from 1998-02ish when I was working a dealership. that was my first set of snappy anything... 100 bucks at the time IIRC

 

[CallumRD1]

I just put all my PB Swiss screwdrivers in my new tool chest.

Left side, bottom to top: Pozi 0-3, Torx T25-T8
Right side, bottom to top: Phillips 0-3, Slotted 6-1

Wiha precision screwdrivers: Phillips, Slotted, Metric Hex, Torx. To be added soon: Imperial Hex and more Torx.

 

[jvitez]

Gorgeous! Love PB Swiss, fabulous tips and very comfortable handles. Don't see them too much on here.

Did you make the tool chest yourself?
