irazola's are the worst screwdrivers! ive gone through around 5 or 6 termi's, the tips on them just snap. recently my pozi has gone aswell. just moved to stanley ones, they are upto now much better
I have found that on my 3 and 4mm slotted, use the tekno+ range but am starting to dislike them now, have replaced each one twice in the last 6 months. The rest all seem ok though.

Have just decided to replace them, has anyone used the CK Dextro range? Looks like a good buy, set of 8 for £35

It was out of stock when I ordered it and the weather hasn't helped we haven't had mail for 4 days so still waiting with baited breath:)

If you like it and want more i would get in touch with your local fracnisee (drives a big white snap on van often seen outside garages) as they are self employed there is room for negotiation...;) they also do part ex and other bits I always wondered they they never pushed their kit to other trades?
 
Think I will next time, give the poor guys a bit of business as it costs like £60000 to buy a franchise as you have to buy the truck and all the stock, my mechanic mate was telling me. I only want the one driver so i can have a bit of a laugh with my inspector when he comes next, might strip all the orange insulation off the shaft and tighten a live terminal in front of him see what he says :D.
 
It turned up at last lying buggers, only the shaft is composite thought that the bit would be made of some fancy ultra hard resin turns out it's metal :( Really nice grip though and amazingly light for a screwdriver, bit on the chunky side as well. Think I would have been a little upset if I had bought the whole set for £200+ pounds.
 
My vote is for Stanley Fatmax (new style) and Facom. Bahco (the dearer ones) are nice too for Pozis and Phillips but didn't think so much of the slotted. Not so taken with CK and never tried Irazola!!
 
Have a mixture of stanley fatmax/wera and ck as well as a few draper ones they are all ok and stand up to my daily thumping ! have 2 ck terminal & wera ones as well all seem ok and cant argue with price much better than the crap SSE gave us to use that 9 times out of 10 lost against brass screws and as much use as a chocolate hammer !
