not saying dont buy decent, what i am saying is that you should keep them in sight or as i did in the end, buy a padlock for ur toolbox.
If you look my website is specialised towards Bahco and Knipex hand tools, two of the best brands around imo, the best tools helps make ur job easier, why shouldn't u buy these?? but alot of people out there are happier to walk off with the expensive stuff UNLESS u keep it locked.
 
I reckon it depends who you work with - if I was working on my own or with the same bunch of lads who had earned my trust I'd be tempted to treat myself - I'm a bit of a tool geek and it seems a waste to buy nice stuff for doing DIY at home once in a blue moon.

It's always nicer to use nice tools than cheap ones, but it's nicer to have a tool to use than go to pick one up but find some rapscallion has half-inched it.
 
Yet another set of drivers have joined my ever growing family, enter... Haupa! Just hope these wear better than the Zola's? Nice drivers, only 25 notes for a set of 6 too!
 
bought a set of irazolas. had to grind the pozi points off as they slipped in normal screws.
 
Never mind site cred, as long as they are good.......I use/have a load of Irazola and CK Drivers, and as the weather is getting better I am starting to feel like I want to go into the tool shops and buy a load of new screwdrivers and things now.....
Work trousers with tool holders in them are good for new drivers, otherwise some of the foreign workers and some of the short stay contractors will swipe them if left unattended....
I dont have any Wera Drivers, just a bit set for the drill, look good though, might buy one soon...
