Quote HistoryQuote HistoryI bought a few of the Gen1 version of that screwdriver. It had a storage cavity in the handle and used 1/4" hex base bits. An industry favorite. ETA;Just like that. |

I'm sure there are obvious and hidden benefits to using a "top tier" screwdriver, but most of mine are either 70-year-old stanleys from my wife's grandfather, or the newest addition, a ratcheting bit driver by DeWalt.

Most of mine are old Craftsman or Stanley “100 plus”. I like em because you can use box end wrenches on em for extra torque.

I've never had an issue with any screwdriver except the Pittsburg brand from harbor freight.
Those are the only screw drivers I've had the tips strip on screw heads... instead of the screws stripping... with very little torque. Screws weren't even that tight yet. I'm not sure what kind of pot metal they're made of but they are bad. |

I used to design and build machines (some of them the size of a 6-story building, some of them could fit in your hand).
We mostly used SHCS, but for screwdrivers I had a set of Craftsman USA screwdrivers. I have rounded almost every one of them off by now, I don't know why I still have them in my garage. I am now a design engineer and we mostly use torx, however when I need a screwdriver it's always a multibit. The best I've found for a decent price are the Picquic brand. They're very well made and very fast to get the right bit. They sell all different kinds of sets to fit what you need. Because they're Canadian they usually feature a Robertson (square) drive or two which is really nice when I'm working on my camper! I have yet to round off a Philips with one, which is weird because they're polished tips and that usually means it will round really easitly:

Didn't read the whole thread, but I'm pretty happy with my SnapOn set, although you're paying for the name to some extent.
I've almost picked up a set of Witte Maxxpro's a couple times. I'm 99% sure they're the OEM for Matco's screwdrivers, which impressed me in a head to head comparison with my Snappy set. |

I saw my cousin last month who is an admin for the state dept who's spent a lot of time in the Ukraine and Poland. I think she said most of the "workers" now are from Turkey. Cheap labor just like Mexico. |

I can only compare the Wiha precision screw drivers with Snap on, If I had to use them every day I do not think they would last, But I didn't want to pay $90 for a set I will barely use but I find them acceptable for $25 or $30 , |

Owned and used all 3. Wiha gets my vote, but that's due to local supply and price.
If Wera is priced similarly, it's a toss up. Klein is less desirable due to higher price, and I would give it a 1/4 or 1/2 point penalty on quality versus the German brands (though some are made in USA [my newest what 6 in 1 for instance]). |
