On a side note my Klein & milwakee insulated screwdrivers I ordered should arrive tomorrow so I will try them for a week and give my opinion on them.
never tried Klein or milwakee Insulated screwdrivers Before,
I did have a Klein normal screwdriver once upon a time before I lost it...
well my parcel arrived today, 3 Klein slotted and 2 milwakee pozi drivers.
the kleins have a decent grip so reckon they will be good to use but the milwakee feel rock hard , smooth and quite slippy...
see how they go , but reckon the miwakee will end up on ebay
Yeah the Milwaukee ones are rebranded cheap rubbish. They honestly feel like the Aldi ones.

Dustydazzler
more than likely , they feel like generic cheap screwdrivers you get in a pack from Aldi For a fiver.
the grip is horrible and plasticy.
only paid like 3 quid each as they were on offer

im just going to bid on a snap on and just noticed not all are the same size Shaft.
standard screwdriver bits are a 1/4 inch bit...?
are all snap on are 1/4 inch ??? I don’t want to end up with some funky American size I can’t get bits for

snap-on drivers are 1/4" square shaft into handle and standard hexagonal bits like any other interchangeable bit driver. however i think you can get shafts with 1/4" sq. end for use with sockets. the pic in my post 57 appears to be this. the shafts are interchangeable so buy one with the hex end for bits as you can get hex to sq, adaptors, if that makes sense.

As have I bought quite a few wera items in the last 12 months seem to be very good quality but pricey

Well the milwakee screwdrivers ended up in the bin , the small 3mm slotted tip snapped after about 2 uses...
absolute garbage , how Milwaukee can put there name to these screwdrivers beggers belief...

On the flip side I paid 20£ for this set of Kleins & they seem pretty good...

thank Tel...
if you were going to buy w snap on ratchet screwdriver would you opt for the soft grip or hard plastic handle...?
soft grip is nicer to use, but the cap falls off losing the stored bits in the handle. hard plastic has a more secure cap and is easier to wipe off when sweaty hands have been gripping it. just a matter of choice. overall, think i prefer the older style hard grip. buy a weird colour so easy to spot.

I have seen quite a few soft grip versions on ebay for sale with missing end cap , these are much cheaper due to it missing...
can you still use the driver comfortably with the cap missing ?

you can use it no problem. a replacement cap from snap-on is not more than a few squid. mine broke one of the lugs off ( it's like a bayonet fit on the soft grip ). replaced under warranty no question.

if they are anything like their insulated ones which look very similar , then they won’t be very good
I wasn't intending to buy them. I'm happy with 3 sets of Wera interchangeable.

Wiha intercangeables, inc. allen, torx bits +/- bits, and a square one for the roberson screws i use to pi$$ off the next bloke,
boxed set of Felo interchangeables which got nicked by a wet-pants, recovered after a punch-up.
3 remaining from a Irazola set bought 15 years ago
snap-on ratchet and stubby driver
set of £7.99 VDEs from Aldi
2ft. long yankee inherited fom my dad

In yer dreams Mate in yer dreams, once bitten and all that.
Yeah Wiha have been my daily use drivers for a good few years now. Very comfortable and I've only ever broken them through misuse.

Just spent an hour this evening cleaning and listing some screwdrivers on eBay , I cleared out one old tool box which had 4 screwdrivers in it that I had completely forgotten that I even had 
hopefully will raise about £20-25 towards my snap-on ratchet fund

Surprised you don't throw the links up on here (for sale section), pretty sure it's allowed but will be corrected if notJust spent an hour this evening cleaning and listing some screwdrivers on eBay , I cleared out one old tool box which had 4 screwdrivers in it that I had completely forgotten that I even had

Have given them a pretty thorough going over and the tips have held up pretty well So far....
