Re: Screw Drivers

The electricians screwdrivers from Draper tools are good. I've had mine years and they are hardwearing.

Re: Screw Drivers

The best screwdrivers you can buy are Irazola. Bright orange and unmistakeable. They have pounds of torque and a lifetime guarantee. Any good wholesaler will stock them at around £30 - £40 for a set of 6.

Re: Screw Drivers

I think, Knipex and wiha are the only tools I use now. Knipex also makes a reaally nice pair of channel locks about 12" long and very thin at the jaws $45

Re: Screw Drivers

I agree with Cirrus, Irazola Techno I think are the best that I have used. They are a Spanish brand.

Here's a really good price for some (mine cost about £35 I think)

Irazola tekno plus insulated screwdriver set 202031 tool, tools, bahco, Irazola,stanley draper :: Toolman Yardley tools, toolman yardley, homepage,bahco, stanley, estwing,stabila, marshalltown, bosch, knipex, trend, irwin,draper, fluke, monument, kam

This company supply others and I have bought alot of tools from this company. They are based in Yardley, Birmingham on the Coventry Road towards the NEC and there shop is like a sweet shop for adults. Great place for buying branded tools at the right price. I am sure they post goods out.

Of course it is personal preference, I guess it depends on your line of work? Personally I don't like hard plastic handles because they tend to slip when your hands get sweaty.

I have had a set of Wera drivers and they tended to round off quite quickly in my opinion. Tips must be a bit soft.

Draper Pro Drivers are quite nice because they have a soft grip which is great for extra grip.

Hope this helps!

Re: Screw Drivers

I paid £24 for my Irazola and now use Wera slip stop which cosat the same. Will be going back to Irazola as the Wera do wear quickly and the slip stop is great for the first week or so only.
