Which make of VDE screwdriver do you think is the best?

[Leesparkykent]

Recently brought wiha slim fit and at 1st thought they were good but after a couple of days noticed the terminal driver was starting to bend. Think I'm going to buy myself a new set of ck drivers can't go far wrong with ck.

bend? which one.

i tend to use the 5mm on sockets etc and usually 4mm for switches etc.

not had one bend on me (the non slim ones are a lot stronger)

I've had my set about 6 months and they're showing no signs of any damage like you describe, I think they're a great set of drivers.
Are you using them for anything other than driving screws? Levering, bradawling etc?

a screwdriver should be able to withstand hammering, chiselling, prising up floorboards and can lids, stirring, and scratching your arse. and the best ones are those nicked from electricians. oops. thought i was on the plumbers forum.

all mine can and have. i dont use less than a 5mm flat for boards though.

usually just use a chisel and 12mm knocking driver along with hammer of course.

usually the previous wnkrs have chopped the boards in the middle of no where so they need butchering or replacing anyway

Felo for me. Very grippy and tough

 

[ferg]

Wera for me.

Kraftform uninsulated for general stuff.

A VDE set.

And the slimline set that I keep in my posh toolbag for when I think appearances matter.
