Quality screwdrivers

[chris_d]

Dear all,

Can anyone recommend a manufacturer of good quality screwdrivers?

I want to invest in a decent set that will last.

Cheers,
C

I think it really depends on personal preference to be honest.

I have a set of these


http://www.screwfix.com/prods/75509/Iro ... -Stop-6Pcs


Which are great.


I also have a set of Stanley which have lasted.

Wera in my opinion make good long lasting sets of screwdrivers. Which are of a reasonable price.

hi

ive always used stanley, not the most glamourous but boy do they last. B&Q had an offer on stanley 3 for 2, might be worth a look?

regards,

michael

You have to take into account the quality of your own wrist, thats 50% of screwing.
There's some people I wouldn't lend my screwdriver to.

Havent bought a new s.d. in years myself.

I bought a set from axminster last year and three of them have crumbled! I'd go for the Wera's next.

It really depends on what you're after. I have a set of three very good Marples 'drivers with boxwood handles...similar things are made by Crown these days (but no boxwood) For Pozi's I always use the blue handled Stanley's, not very glamorous to be fair, but a good all round 'driver with decent steel - Rob

Screwfix should sell good drivers!

For most jobs you can't beat a spiral ratchet screwdriver

Hi,
4 years ago I got Tom Lie-Nielson to make me a set of slotted drivers as the Crown ones I had were not even straight, they are as good quality as his planes and chisels.

I like Wiha, and I'm told Irazola are also very good.

 

[Paul Chapman]

Or if you don't like the ones in the shops, you can always make your own

Cheers :wink:

Paul that is a very nice set that you have made. I think it is useful having more that one as you can have at least two different bits ready for instant use.

Paul that is a very nice set that you have made.

Actually, the top one is paulm's Lie Nielsen, the second and fourth one were made by paulm and I made the third one. I also made this one from a piece of Acacia

As you say, it's very handy having several with different bits that are used frequently.

Cheers :wink:

It's obviously cordless, do the batteries last well?
