Need a new screwdriver set

This is a pretty decent set for the price at Home Depot. The handles are much more comfortable to use than the acetate handle Craftsman screwdrivers.

Vessel, so far are excellent.
Can't go wrong with PB Swiss, Vessel, Wera, Wiha, Williams
The set of Vessel I have are the best I’ve ever owned. That’s saying a lot.
$50.
You will love them, I promise.

I'm a big fan of Vessel, including the Impacta's. #2 & #3 are classified as "essential" in my world.
Wiha for me
Wow! 4.9 out of 5.0 rating on Amazon. You don't see that very often.
I've got a question I've been thinking about lately.
Concerning the OPs Craftsman set. Aren't these covered by a lifetime warranty? I've got a similar set from the 70s that are getting long in the tooth. Will have to ask about this next time I'm in Lowes.
Has anybody else come across this situation ?

These are amazing and are only $15 full price. $11.25 with a 25% coupon which are routinely available. These screwdrivers grip better than any other screwdrivers that I’ve ever used. TBD on long term durability as I’ve only had them for half a year.

I’ve heard great things about Vessel. I have a combo of screwdrivers, Wiha, USA Craftsman, PB Swiss, Klein, Snap on ratcheting.
Wiha standard ones (grey/black handles) are probably my least favorite. Not sure why, just something with the tips.
PB Swiss has great feeling handles, and really nice tips, almost too nice to use for anything dirty.
Standard USA Craftsman are amongst my favorite. Not the smoothest fancy handles or anything, but strong and they just work.
Wiha striking handle drivers are heavy but I like them a lot.
US made Klein insulated I like for a lot of stuff.
If I had to only have one screwdriver in the world, it would be the Snap-on ratcheting driver.
Love these. I love that older SO handle style, and I’m not the biggest fan of the SO soft touch grips for ratchets, but their soft touch screwdrivers are also really super as well.
These are by far my favorite screwdrivers for doing actual real screwdriving. The best $83 you’ll spend!!

Vessel, Wera, Wiha, PB Swiss, are my personal choice. Klein and Williams are up there.
How much do you want to spend. If you're working on Japanese cares get JIS from Vessel.
Just remember that it isn't just straight and phillips any longer.

Channellock has a 6pc USA made set for about 50 bucks. Plus they use all USA made steel in the blades
Vessel JAPAN is my go to. I also have a set of wood handle Felo which I use on light duty stuff that weren't too expensive.
