Screwdrivers.....

[Resu]

Had a set of these for a few months now and really like them:Bahco VDE Insulated Electricians Screwdriver Set Slotted and Pozi - 5pc - Transtools

I've had these a few weeks and am also happy with them.

Got a couple of sets of these Bahco's, but with a couple more flats:

Only complaint, really needs and intermediate sized pozi drive. Good handles you can really get a grip on.

i use a stanley fat max screw driver for general use and a wiha torque screw driver for consumer units etc so i can torque the mcb's etc to manufacturers instructions

I have a CK set in my box as they have pz 0 1 and 2 and ph 0,1 and 2 and a good selection of flats, I also have the Wera set with one handle and interchangeable blades in a pouch,which lives on my belt with a multitool.

Bacho, wera and Irazolas are made by the same company

Really, who on earth told you that? Bacho = Swedish, Wera = German, Irazola = Spanish. All manufacturer their own screwdrivers in their own factories. Fact!

 

[High Tower]

Wrong!, irazola have been bought by bahco, who are owned by snap on, who are American, irazola are no longer available, but you can now get drivers identical to izzys but with the bahco name on the handle.

 

[Rodders73]

Correct in part! SNA, Bahco's parent company, have indeed acquired Irazola but manufacturing continues in their Spanish plant.

The guess the most important lesson is how they perform - regardless of who owns them.

I am personally disappointed with Wera because my experience is that their pozi tips are too soft, so my next set will be Bahco.

Getting back to who owns who: Seat and Bentley are owned by the same company (VW). Bentley has blistering performance and is high quality but then you have Seat

Yep I know: Worked for Bentley (formally Rolls-Royce until BMW & VW split it up), for 37 yrs.

Oh and by the way, Skoda have one of the highest quality ratings in the group.

Properly maintained Skoda diesels will do quarter of a million miles on the motor.the running gear is good too.

Seat's are also good but I can't confirm personally any high milers.

I don't want to start any arguments here but you only have to look at the taxi fleets to answer your question about durability Ruston.

Seen huge numbers of Skodas but can't say I've seen many Seats??????????

Actually I was agreeing with you , it was a taxi that is the high miler , most of them have well in excess of the mileage in my previous post. One has 400 thousand miles on and is still going strong.

That will likely be on the old 1.9tdi engine - a legendary power plant superceeded by the 2.0tdi engine to improve refinement.
