Picked this ratcheting screwdriver set up at Lowes.Its based on the Gearwrench sets.I mainly got it for the adapters as I only have the 6'' adapters in my GW set.Goes well with the GW.Price was 14.97.

How are you liking the flex ratchet? Just curious, how much was it?

So far I have no complaints about it.It seems to be build pretty good for a ratchet in its price range.It is $22.99 but I got mine for $2.99 with the $20 I had on my Autozone rewards card.Even though its only 36 tooth I don't think you can go wrong buying one.

You guys are costing me money!

I'd only ever used Craftsman screwdrivers (to the degree I EVER use a manual screwdriver anymore). Then I joined GJ and a year ago I found a package of Pratt-Reads at my favorite oultet place. Posted a thread on that back then with THIS photo:
PrattReadScrewdrivers1.jpg

I can't remember what I paid but it wasn't much. They work fine.

THEN, the other night I read the thread about middle of the road, good screwdrivers and someone posted a link. As a result, THESE arrived today!:eek:
WihaScrewdrivers.jpg


Now these are some nice screwdrivers; at least to me. I do not make my living with tools so I guess I don't know better, but these might as well be gold plated Snappy, Mac, whatevers. Maybe not much to the (sniff, sniff) tool snobs but to me they're damn nice.

Now really; WHY did I need these 5 screwdrivers on top of the 25 or so in the photo above and another probably two dozen Craftsman (& assorted ****) I ALREADY had? Especially when the truth is I usually use my drill driver to drive drywall screws on most of my garage projects if I use screws! You guys are turning me into a nutcase! lol.

The wiha are not middle grade screw drivers. They are in the same level as the snap on and other high end us drivers. They might be the older design wiha. But the tips are just as hard as the new ones.

Very Nice! That was a steal at 100! :beer:

Yea, its only the second item I have EVER bought from CL. Most people sell garbage or think because its a truck brand that it doesn't depreciate in value. Did I mention it appears to be new? it wasnt advertised as such but I cant find a blemish and or signs of wear.:thumbup:

Oh, good to know. I think they feel great in the hand and the slot screwdrivers (the only one I tried so far) fit tightly. MUCH better than the Cman's I've always used. I'm sure that's a, "...DUH, 'ya think so?!" to you guys but to me it was a revelation.

These followed me home from Harbor Freight last week. Needed the 1/2" NPT tap and it didn't give me any problems. The printing on the ratchet handle came right off, but the ratchet itself is nice.

This arrived today, from ToolTopia. I ordered the Kastar set but got a Lang-branded set instead, but it appears to be the exact same kit, right down to the COO (USA).

Forgive my ignorance, but that's a re-threader kit, right?

What's the part number on that? I could use one of those.
