Good quality screwdrivers

Snap-on for me.. got the set off the tool truck for 70.00 "on sale".. Just recently broke the tip off one using a small bit in a large slot using the hex head on the shank to tighten.. but was replaced free.. gotta love that..

As others have said, I too will recommend Klein. I have used their screwdrivers and other tools for 35 years.

I really like Wera screwdrivers, available at Lee Valley tools if you have those? Fanstatic tools:

I'm kind of surprised at the lack of complaining about twisting out "Phillips" screws. Most of the time, this is due to the screws not being Phillips head, but jis (japanese industrial standard) screws.

McMaster-Carr has a very nice set of these for reasonable money. A must have for those with Japanese equipment such as motorcycles etc.

I got a nice huge set of Proto cheap when they were switching styles, they are nice. My son has this set of Gearwrench, they seem like a good quality set. I like how they have the spot you can put a wrench on.

I just realized how long it's been since I bought "regular" screwdrivers. Back when I did, I went for Vaco or SK most of the time. Craftsman and Klein served well too. All those brands had straight blades that did pretty well. Phillips screwdrivers were always less than satisfactory. Replaceable phillips tips have been the solution. I kept regular screwdrivers in three sizes of phillips for cases where I had to reach into a hole and there wasn't enough room to get the loose-tipped driver in.

For the past several years I have been using a DeWalt impact for almost everything. With the variable speed I can do screws as small as 6-32's without getting into trouble.

Who makes Snap on screwdrivers?

Who makes Snap on screwdrivers?

Probably the same factory that makes Harbor Freight and most other brands.
The production line probably simply changes labels every 1/2 hr or so.
It is all in quality control and final inspection.
And I'd bet that that factory is another DeWalt/Stanley owned facility,
