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

[amckay]

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.

No but at £65 they should have!

The firm I work for specify I have to order from a catalogue of a supplier they "prefer" to use. No outlay for me so its all good. Some brown envelopes have passed hands I think!

Anyone Tried Klein screrw drivers, They looks good but seam to be £20+ Each so ruled them out. I stick with Irizola's, have a wera set to but not so keen on them. Have the Whia torque driver set and that seams good, I do like the look of the slim tips.

currently using wera and they are by far the superior driver set, always used bahco and irazola in the past which were ok, my last set were ck which didn't last long at all and I'm pretty sure they were the most expensive set out of the lot so wouldn't bother with CK drivers again all though they do make the best cutters I've used so far.

I recently tried a Klein pozi and a flat blade. They both snapped in a couple of weeks! I didn't go any harder on them than I usually do.

how easy was it to claim on the warrenty? i think they are supposed to have a very good returns policy but that might only be in usa

I took them back to CEF and the counter staff said they would contact Klein about it. Then they just refunded me the money, which was fine as I didn't want replacements. I also found them to be quite large in the pocket.

I've since gone back to my favourites, which are PB Swiss

They don't do an insulated set complete only a non insulated set with a pz2 and terminal. Had to buy all mine separate, wouldn't go back to anything else and I've tried them all lol
