The CK dextro are fantastic screwdrivers IMO, but I've just bought a set of the Wiha interchangables (not torque) and I'm very impressed thus far. I looked at the Wera but really don't like the feel of their 'ergonomic' handles.
 
One that I haven't seen mentioned that I have been using for a while now are Teng, which have been the best of anything I've used so far (CK, Bahco, Draper Expert or Wera)

Bought a lovely set of bahco screwdrivers nice long handles, snapped 4 of them in as many weeks,
back using my indestructible CKs. I ve wound in 1.1/2 8s with a small terminal driver no problem!
yeehaa!
 
Highly recommend the ones I linked when you are next in for a set. Lifetime warranty too!

Was in the same shop I bought the screwdrivers in on Wednesday and ended up coming out with the side cutters! They have been excellent so far. Taking a bit of getting used to right enough as they are 160mm (only size they come in unfortunately).

to be honest i use a set of 160mm wiha cutters day to day. will happily cut 6mm so cant ask any more.

i dont know why people buy 180mm+ when you get over say 6/10mm you want croppers/shears anyway or it crushes the conductor (i have stripped 1mm-25mm with my shears, 25mm is about the limit to cut with the small knipex shears)
 
I've just started to use facom. They seem pretty good, and a good ergonomic grip. Time will tell if they're built to last.

do they come with a free dictionary? ( ergomonic). LOL.
 
Wiha for me had them for years, they are solid pieces of kit, I've always had the slim vario range which are a good feature
