Quote HistoryQuoted: Odd way to spell Klein... Klein is about on par with Stanley 100plus or Proto. Not bad but not great…. Wiha and Wera were the best likely but Wiha has slipped a little. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Williams This, specifically the US produced ones. They're made by Snap On in their factory and are identical to the old black hard handle Snap On ones. You get Snap On quality at about a third of the price. It sucks Project Farm didn't throw them in there. |

If it is a hand tool for use with fasteners, then Wera is what you seek.

I have Wera, Wiha, Snap On, Knipex, Milwaukee and some others.
I'll go Snap On every day of the week for general use. Wera or Knipex for specialty stuff like insulated drivers. Didn't watch the video, including one of those Craftsman units clearly displays that the producer is clueless. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Odd way to spell Klein... Wiha are good, Felo are good.. Klein's just ok for drivers. Even their pliers and cutters aren't really competitive anymore. Knipex blows them out of the water there. AvE was right about these wood handled Felo drivers, they're very very nice:

Wera is solid. I have multiple sets of the Weras and the glue green handle set is awesome. I also like Felo. Wiha has some solid bit sets and I really like the ratchet wrench sets, but don’t like their driver handles as much.
Of course you gotta get the Wera T-handle hex and torx drivers  Attached File |

I have a set of Forester gunsmith screwdrivers for gun stuff, they are hollow ground unlike the typical tapered one that is found on most screwdrivers, the blades fit tight in ordinary slotted-screws. I use it around the house for various repairs.

I really like Witte, and their tri-lobe handles are damn near perfect in my hand.
I also have Felo, Wiha, Wera, and Snap-On. They are all great products and have been durable. The tri-lobe handles on the Witte and Snap-On screw drivers are my favorite. For Philips and certain other recesses I carbidise the tips. This grips the shit out of the screw recess and almost eliminates camout. |

Gonna catch a lot of shit for this, but my Craftsman set is 40 years old and still kickin'.
They're screwdrivers for Christ sake, as long as you don't try using them as chisels or nail punches they should last a lifetime. |

I have Wiha, Wera, Klein, and Snap-On screwdrivers.
Klein and Wera are in my everyday tool pouch. The Wera have better tips than the Klein but I prefer the handle feel of the Klein. I abuse my Klein screwdrivers so I don’t feel bad doing it to a relatively cheap Klein. My insulated set is from Wiha bought over 20 years ago and I love them. For automotive the Snap-On Pozidriv are my favorite. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Brownells magma tip super set Nothing else comes even close to being the best of the best The problem with bit tip screwdrivers is accessing a screw in a deep hole. The bit tips simply won't be able to reach the screw unless you have extended length tips, and those aren't available in all recesses. Also, on that particular set, the acetate handle is awful, at least for me. |

I have worn out a bunch of #2, and #1 screwdrivers over about three years now. Brand makes a huge difference. I have settled on Vessel for phillips, and wera for slotted. The others were not even close. After watching the video, I’d like to try pb swiss. |

Not as good as Hex Plus from Wera but definitely the best "regular" shaped bits I've seen. I wouldn't hesitate buying more. They sell some bits that Wera doesn't seem to offer. |
