best screwdrivers?

[Ggreen]

Facom makes the best screwdriver.

Wera makes the best bits

PB Swiss makes the best hex

Excelite makes awesome screwdrivers. But those are precision tools aimed at the electronics industry.

I gave up on Craftsman and went with Xcelite when I got into TV repair in 1950. I still have some of those tools today. They really hold up well.

I have also had Wheeler bits break on me.

Recently got this (below) and am trying it out. So far, I really like it.
Had never heard of this brand, Felo, from Germany until the last year or so but now have a few of their tools and am favorably impressed to date.

I have had really good luck with graceusa and the brownells brand. The one good thing about brownells is if they break they replace it for free. For an off the shelf brand the kobalt precision set works really well. I agree with others on here and would avoid the Wheeler engineering brand.

Deleted. Was duplicated content. My bad; sorry.

Got a Wheeler set at a yard sale and they work great.

For mechanic work I went through KC tool and use Wera laser tips. Ill never go back to a reagular cheapo driver for anything buy prying open a paint can.

A good bit handle to add to the bench. Can really develop some torque:

Glad I found this thread. I seem to have a knack for finding the worst screwdrivers. They all seem to be made with the softest metals (especially phillips).

This looks great for my sore hands.

My .02, the most important screwdriver is the one that fits best. If it’s too thick, thin, wide or narrow you run the risk of slipping or damaging a stubborn screw. I recently picked up an old Arisaka and someone marred a screw head with a screwdriver too thin and narrow.

This is why I've been so impressed with the Tekton set I just bough at Rural King. They fit VERY well. Beautifully. I've never had a phillips head driver fit as nicely. Affordable and good, I'm a fan.
