What are your thoughts on the Chisel drivers? Seems like a great price for nice screwdrivers. Don't know too much about Wiha though, but I would like to get some new screwdrivers. Any other really good deals from them jump out at you?

Wiha makes good stuff but I don't care for their handles. I would get Wera before Wiha. Having said that, real screwdrivers :) look like this:

The striking end cap on the Wiha screwdrivers is heavy and changes the whole balance of the screwdriver. I don't care for them for that reason.
The Wera chiseldrivers have what amounts to the head of a nail as a striking endcap so, it doesn't affect screwdriver handle weight or balance.
I own both and prefer the Weras but, that's just me.

Yup, just used mine. Can't beat free from HF.

If I didn't have 4 sets of good screwdrivers and 2 or 3 cheap sets I would be all over the Wiha, but I do, so I'm not. Also I have the non striker set, AND I bought one each of other styles to try and I am OK with the balance of the striker, no real preference to me of in your hand balance vs typical toward the tip bias.
