screwdrivers. opinions please.

[Slow and wobbly]

I am looking for a good set that will go the distance. What are peoples opinions?
I once had the pleasure of buying a set of Sunflags' a couple of years ago for an employers workshop and I loved em. I currently have a mixed breed ranging from the extremely cheap, useful for brutalising, to some minimax long reach - up to 450mm and damned handy for working on bikes- screw drivers. I am looking for a complete set of quality drivers at the moment that will hold up to constant use on the tips with the occasional abuse of levering and striking. Any suggestions?

Just found this site. Better than your average independant tool store that just offers up middle of the road or piss poor Chinese crap.

Kingchrome Pro Am series, good price lifetime warrenty and will take a beating.

got to agree on stanley's.

Stanleys are ok, I have my share of them. Sidchrome is now owned by Stanley (so I believe) so they are probably made in the same factory. However I think the quality has dropped away in the last few years and I wouldn't be surprised if the cheaper end of their range is now made in China. I've knackered some of the smaller ones quite easily, and I have ones of a similar size from 10 years ago which still look quite new. They used to have a large flat tip years ago which had the tang go all the way through the handle and into an end you could whack with a hammer like a chisel, but they stopped making those and mine got stolen.

Crescent make good screwdrivers, as do Kincrome. Stahlwille make beautiful tools, but they're not cheap. I presume Snap-On would be the same sort of price range.

Repco, or their cheap line Powerbuilt. Lifetime warranties. My brother's a mechanic who uses Repco gear all the time. While a lot of the Powerbuilt stuff is identical except for branding, the screwdrivers are different. I actually prefer the Powerbuilt screwdrivers, but they're both good.

I use my insulated screwdrivers from work for almost everything. Irazola's. I love em. Only driver I have in my toolbox that isn't insultated is my big fuck off crescent driver with a square shaft so I can get a shifter on it

[robracer]

Snapon for home, for their warranties & quality you dont have to buy a whole set in one hit do what I have done & build up a set over a period of time I get direct same day delivery from our local operator too
For work we have a stanley set that gets replaces every couple of year as drivers go missing presumably lost
the are cheap to replace & fairly reliable

stanley or crescent sets around 30 bucks and bonus bits ....cheaper than buying individualy and a reasonable cross section

treat em well and you'll get abuot 30 years out of them i have...........no 2 phillips head shit its self tho......home usage and home mechanicals

I *love* my TorqueMaster screwdrivers (they're made by Kincrome). The only complaint I ever had with them is that they're so good if you're not careful you snap screw heads off ... seriously. I've has some of them of > 10 years and they're like new. Highly recommended.
