screwdrivers

[dave-b]

What's the best screwdrivers ? I'm using the Irazola at the moment but the tips snap when they come against a tuff screw.
I'm thinking of the wiha set. Any advise.
Cheers.

Yeah I'm using wiha at the moment and have no complaints.
Nice comfy grip and decent quality.

I curretly have a set of CK VDE, I've had them for 2 years (used 2 days a week on average) and 2 of them have snapped. I'm not sure if that is good or bad but I will definitely be changing over to a different make as and when more of them snap.

I will buy 'wera' next as I have read quite a few reviews and they seem to come out on top most often.

Wiha for me, had the set for about 6 months now and they're showing no signs of wear at all.

i have only bought wera for the torx drivers.

there normal drivers are very weak.


i have been using the same wiha/facom drivers for over 6months and no wear at all.

wiha slimline or facom for me (i prefer the facom a little more, better handles)

they come out ontop because out of the standard stock at screwfix/bnq they do come out on top.

wiha/facom are better but good look finding someone that has facom protwist on the shelf.


im not jokeing, it takes 3 weeks to get any because no stock in this country at all

Either that or a guitar mag for me.

I understand mate what ever floats yer boat, I can't go into a wholesalers without drooling over all those shiny tools, I even have to go to B&Q every now and then to get a fix, stupid old git

Wera for me Iv not found the tips to be weak at all quite the opposite actually . I also have wiha you wouldn't go far wrong with either in my opinion
Either set is around £20 mark
Anybody remember the old red Tower screwdrivers I . Remember I used to pick them up for a fiver back in the day 8-9yr ago
