Thats exactly what happens with my Bahco ones. Think I may look at Roebuck for that one, had a bench job once, removing araldite from capscrews, gave that Roebuck some (too much) force and it took it.

Wera all the way, had a few different sets and Wera are by far the best i've had so far.
plus they look the business.

Wiha for me got the set with the torque settings £100 only disadvantage the screwdriver for pendants sold separate if you read Manufactures instructions ie wyler mk they tell you how you how tight the torque needs to be,
also comes wit a normal screwdriver handle with no torque

I have both Wiha - Browse for Products | CPC

&

Wera - Browse for Products | CPC

Both are great, not managed to break any yet. The Wiha's have been in daily use for the past 2 years.

Screwdriver bits, I won't buy anything but Wiha Hot - WIHA|20822|BITS, POZI, 25MM, PZ2, HOT, 2PK | CPC they last for ages even in the impact driver.

Got the 17 piece Wera set (phase tester was donated away :drunk. Can't recall where I got mine, but its a good 2 years old now and still complete and in great nick. Can get it on Ebay for around £40 and well worth it if you can keep those with sticky fingers away. Its great for CU changes and 2nd fix work. Wera Kraftform Kompakt 18 Piece VDE Screwdriver Set NEW | eBay

Got another set of Wera last year similar to this but was cheaper Wera Kraftform VDE Screwdriver Set Slotted and Pozi 7PC | eBay)

Bacho is what id buy but the company i work for supply us with king dick screwdrivers, dont like the hard plastic feel they have.

I'm also an Irzaola fan; but I think they have been bought out by Bahco..?
Ive used CK, Stanley FatMax and various others.. Both the CK and Stanley drives twisted or snapped!

 

[robassais]

does anyone else use BOST I really rate them

 

[rick]

Yes I have Bost and they are very good, don't know where to buy them over here though as I bought mine in France (GF is very understanding when I want to spend an hour looking round the local tool shop "to see how things are done over here" :dizzy2: ) Unusual orange colour though, but probably puts people off nicking them.

I think Stanley FatMax are much the same though.
