They're simply the best I've ever used.

@JK-Electrical, I like one of the reviews from an obvious Spark;

"Great drivers. Better and longer lasting than another brand beginning with a W.
I would have easily gone through at least two sets of other drivers to one set of these. Really tough metal obviously.
And the best bit is there is no neon tester included, which would otherwise have ended up in the bin! " (quote)

Nothing wrong with WERA drivers, I have the neon tester in the top pocket of my work shirt, makes me look like a Sparky

As I've only recently purchased my set I obviously can't yet comment on their durability, but what I can say is that they're very comfortable to grip and deliver plenty of torque. What I like best is the slim design that allows the driver to reach into nooks and crannies that other VDE drivers can't access. Highly recommended!

It'll be the next set I buy but the Irasola set I have are standing strong. With the advent of RCBOs the slim ends are ideal if you don't want to get your non VDE screwdrivers out. Those screw holes aren't thought of for VDEs are they?

forgot what the thread was about, so looked back at my OP. item never arrived, but seller did say he was having problems with his shipper and sent me a full refund. so i can't comment on whether the drivers were any good.

Wow, we got 3 pages of drivel/ interesting banter out of it and you got a refund - who's the winner?
