HiltiWpg Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I like my Milwaukee screwdrivers. They're good for everyday beaters. One thing I really don't like though is the fact that Milwaukee screwdrivers only have a + or - on the handle. There's nothing to indicate tip size, length or anything else. I'm slowly switching over to Klein drivers for just this reason.

KC_Tool Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Wera has just announced their Autumn Promo's. The screwdriver set is pretty comprehensive and they won't roll off the work bench. The chisel drivers are my favorite. Beat the hell out of them and then use them as a pry bar...or a not-so-subtle beer can opener. L-keys are some of the best around. https://germantoolblog.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev35 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I only have wera and never had experience with Klein. However wera are superb quality and will last a lifetime if taken care of the handles for me are super comfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildroamer Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Late to the party, I'm guessing @Mondo1310 already purchased a set. Just wanted to add my vote for the Wiha's. Microfinish, specifically. Very slight gritty finish, clean up real easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Buy European screwdrivers, Klein screwdrivers suck in comparison, so do Snap on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only recently been aware of companies like Wiha, Wera, Felo, Gedore, Knipex, etc... Right now, as far as screwdrivers go, I only have Klein and Milwaukee. I actually prefer my Milwaukee set because they fit nicely in my toolbags and pouches. I'm gonna pickup a Wera set soon and try them out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I actually put my weras in my truck tool box. I think they are great drivers but other grips are more comfortable to me. I have a set of n.o.s napa wittes and love them. think $25 for an 8 piece set. I then ordered a few other wittes and the are currently my favorite. I have a set of wiha insulted and the are a very close second. Recently got some gedore striker screwdrivers. not nearly enough time on them yet. very good quality though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BababooeyHTJ Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'm not big on wera. Decent screwdriver. I'm just not sure that they don't round off faster than klein.Wiha on the other hand. Those live to the hype. Damn things take a beating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekTheToolGuy Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I got the Milwaukee screwdrivers and I love them for the price I paid what's was $3 for the set new at the flea market and also have a few more from the pawn shop for 1 buck each.I think the tips are strong and its not hard to grab size you need as smaller tip screwdrivers have smaller handles and like the wire looper and stripper built in on the bigger ones. Im going to buy a wera set as they are only $35 a set on ebay. You cant beat that im just stumped to what set to buy as there are a bunch of different ones...Im kinda leaning towards the the yellow chisel drivers.

Gas Engineer Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 The Wera screwdrivers are very nice. You can get a good deal on them at Sears with points and coupon codes every now and then. The SK screwdrivers get good reviews as well, but can get a little pricey. The thing I like about Kliens is that they have the markings on the end of the handles to tell you what it is. This is very helpful if you have them in a tool bag or something similar. I may get some flack for this but these craftsman "diamond coated" screwdrivers are not bad at all. They really get a good grip on less than perfect fasteners. you can pick a set up as a backup set for cheap with points. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-6-piece-extreme-grip-diamond-tip-screwdriver/p-00915495000P?plpSellerId=Sears&prdNo=2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't notice it on mine since I have them hanging on a wall with the holder that they include with the sets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbfitter Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Im no Wera expert. I just recently received my first set of drivers. I have used Klein for many years and already prefer Wera over the klein stuff. They are both very nice drivers, but the added comfort in the Wera grip and the laser etched tip and the MUCH cheaper price just kick's klein's ass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I like that holder a lot. I mounted one horizontal under a shelf at my workbench at work. I put two screws through the bottom and then the two mount holes. I even ended up drilling extra holes for two other screwdrivers. The price for Wera screwdrivers is ridiculously cheap for what you get. Adding the PH3 hurts a little since it's $20. Wiha and Felo are reasonable too. Wera also fits screws better than Klein and Snap On. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
