Wera screwdriver question

[NinetyTwoFifty]

I'm about to order this Wera screwdriver set, can you tell me if these have hex bolsters that allow turning with a wrench?

Answer: NO

After my less than spectacular reveiw of my new Wera Lazertip screwdrivers

I'm going to eat a little crow on these. On a few screws I was having some trouble with using my Snap-On drivers and having slightly damaged the screw I grabbed up a Wera and gave it a shot. Half the effort and incredible grip it made short work of getting the screws out. I've only use the #1,#2 Phillips and one blade but I'm impressed. They still seem a little on the :supergay: side but they got the screws out. I was very impressed and in the end removing and installing screws is what they are suppose to do. I think I'll buy a second set for the truck.

Dang it! I was hoping that wasn't the same set.

So, do you happen to know which set does have hex bolsters?

These have them...

Hmm, may have to go with them.

Do you know if they still make the green and black ones with hex bolsters?

Good question. Not a huge fan of bumble bee screwdrivers...

At current prices, the non-bolstered screwdrivers are $30 shipped. The bolstered screwdrivers linked by another member are nearly $70 shipped .

Are the bolsters worth $40? In my opinion, NO.

You want 334 SK series. I usually order from chadstoolbox. The set you presumably want is:

For a Chiseldriver, I'm willing to bet you'll know where the extra money went. Even still, there are a lot of screwdriver sets out there that cost more, and give less. I love my Snap-on screwdrivers to death, but I'll admit they don't have that kind of value...

They still look like bumble bees though.
