Discuss Which brand new Insulated screwdriver set is worth buying in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

I use a cheap Lidl set for general use. Had them a few years and still good. Got a Wera/Wiha (can never remember which) set for the "posh stuff".
Grab yourself a set or 2 of the Lidl ones and you won't regret it.

Are they yellow and red, look very much like Wera or Wiha and are maybe called "Widl" ?
 
with the likes of wiha and wera. you're paying over the odds for the name. like our new kettle. it's a smeg. bleeps and farts with pretty lights. water boils no better than a £15 cheapo from aldi.

I've got 3 sets of Wera interchangeable blade drivers.
The last one I bought was a torque driver set at Elex 2017, slimline blades, and also added extra PZ+/- blades
For about £5 each. Set was about £120 I think.

This set is usually a pretty good start with Wera - 15 blades (inc PZ/S) & 2 handles for £40 odd.


Of course Amazon price is fairly high today.

I've got a "Wickes Professional" branded screwdriver that's great for plate screws/terminals... I've been using it for years and years... and still going strong. I think I grabbed it quick somewhere as I was without the van/tools and someone needed something fixed.

Lidl weekly offer ends today. May still be some in your local store.

I dont think they should advertise that they "allow you to work on live parts up to 1,000v"

Thats just going to give Joe Public false confidence in DIY electrics

The only real issue I have found with the cheapo £5-10 vde sets is the pozi2 tip tends to round off very quickly. the flat heads seem to last a bit longer. But for a fiver what do you really expect

I find a cheapo PH2 works very well for making holes for 6mm plugs in plasterboard ceilings...
 
I think I have tried most brands of vde screwdrivers and never really had a favourite , I think the only big name brand that I haven't had a set of is Facom
