Xcelite XPE700 Pro Series Screwdrive Set

[Virgil Cain]

I have a set of Xcelite Pro-Series screwdrivers that I bought several years ago. They are very nice screwdrivers marked "Made is Germany". I'm wondering who if anyone made these for Xcelite? They are reminiscent of drivers made by Wiha or Wera.

This appears to be the set I have:

What's the consensus on these?

We have a bunch of those at work, never realized they were German. I like them. I go for my Wiha stuff first, but if I need a driver and my cabinet is still locked thats what I reach for.
I will have to take a closer look at them on Monday..

looks like they are rebadged Felo drivers.

Thanks guys. They do appear to be Felo. Nice screwdrivers and I think I like the Xcelite colors a little better.

This was a Christmas in October thing. I bought these screwdrivers about 6 years ago and put them up and forgot about them. Just found them yesterday. I bought that set for $20 from an electronics supply company that was going out of business.

I have a set of the Xcelite XPE700s I Like them a lot. They are reasonably priced too.
I also own Snap on, Klein, Wiha, Sears and others. The Xcelite compare favorably.

You can find those at Fry's electronics, I buy them whenever I'm in CA for work and am near a Fry's. They are usually pretty cheap.

I noticed that too. Frys has Xcelite, Bondhus, Nicholson, and Wera. Mostly small stuff and not a big selection, but reasonable prices.
