hi guys i saw some screwdrivers last month in pe magazine, the shaft of the screwdriver was flush down to the tip so didnt have the shroud that normal insulated ones have, good to fit in where screws are recessed, anyone use these or know what they are called? im trying to find them

Hi mate, I bought a set here: Wiha 6pc slimFix VDE Screwdriver Set Phillips - ToolVenture.co.uk

Used them a while and they seem very good.

Probably a great idea if you're working on your own, but a (Lithuanian) guy got something similar and wore them around his belt. Yes we laughed at him and called him a wannabe Batman.
Probably the biggest laugh since the Macadonian guy came in wearing work dungarees.

Only time time i see them good is for the RCBO, in which case i have adapted a Wera for the job.

Toolventure have really good service. I bought mine from there and they arrived next day.
In terms of quality, I haven't really used mine much as I use a combination of Irazola's (Pozi) and CK Sensoplus (Slotted) for my everyday use. I bought these as they were a good price for the few times a normal VDE won't fit due to the insulation. I have used the Philips 2 about 6 times and it shows no sign of wear. Wiha is a good brand so they should last a good while.
