    Why are some vde torque screwdrivers so expensive ?

    So , long story short i recently lost my torque screwdriver set which was a Draper one which I think cost me about £60 off Amazon I fancied a change and looked at the Armeg and Wera torques but both are £100 ish What makes these worth £40+ more than a Draper set ??

    VDE Screwdrivers recommendations

    I’m looking to get a new set of VDE Screwdrivers. I’ve had Wiha and Wera currently. But I’ve found the grip on the Wera a little slippy in the hand when in the cold. I’ve seen both ITL and Boddingtons are highly rated. If anyone has used them or has any recommendations that would be great.
