Don’t really need any new screwdrivers. But on sale at sams 12 piece set for $14.91 can’t hardly say no.

Are these made in USA (sort of recall on another thread someone saying Tekton screwdrivers were made in US, I think).

I'm not a fan of those handles, they're not bad for final tightening of something, but they're awkward if your trying to just spin something in. I preferred their older handle style.
Yes they are.

That's a hell of a deal on some very nice screwdrivers.
They have Tekton tools at Meijer stores, but that set is certainly not normally that cheap!
The alien phallus handle shape does take some getting used to, but it's very effective.

I hear ya - those handles do take a bit of getting used to when trying to spin out a fastener. But once you get the hang of it you'll hardly notice it.

Think it's the same with any drivers with triangular profile handles. Good grip but awkward to spin in your finger tips. Witte drivers are the same.
Good for people in the midwest...Sam's are everywhere.

Yep, I bought a set. I had seen them at ~$25, and decided I really didn't need more screwdrivers. But when they dropped to $19.91, I changed my mind. I put them to use, and I was pleased with them. That they are made in the USA, and are very nice quality, AND so inexpensive...it's remarkable.

Well, when I'm spinning something in (or out), I spin it with the shaft.
I like trilobular handles on screwdrivers. Esp when your hands are greasy. Best invention since sliced bread!

Had to look up 'Trilobular.'
Good word

I agree...once I got accustomed to the design I don't really like anything else.

Walmart is really trying to steal away Amazon customers and is now selling a ton of Tekton at good prices.

Wow!Thanks for sharing.I have been thinking about picking up a set of HF Pro screwdrivers to dump into the tool chest at work to supplement the set of HF Freebies I dumped in there a long time ago,after I realized that of all the tools we have in our shop,that are supplied by the company,the one thing missing in the tool chest is a set of screwdrivers in all lengths.This set would fill the bill,and if they get lost or broken...No big deal!One thing I have always felt,is that any kind of shop had to have a wide selection of screwdrivers,to use and abuse,in order to get any work done.
