Screwdriver Set Wanted

[FirstNissan]

I had to get rid of 95% of my tools when I moved from NJ to TX, a side effect of issues renting a decent apartment and poor planning on my part plus some bad luck.
Anyways, Im looking for a good general household screwdriver set. My last one was a Stanley set that I got at Walmart for $20 or so, had phillips and flats. It was decent, but over the short years, they had started to break/bend. Any good suggestions that have a hardened tip?

A couple decent choices -
- Pratt-Read. USA made. I have some and they're good quality, low-priced drivers. There are lots of sets on Amazon. Here are just a couple:

I also have this set. Wiha. Made in Germany. Really nice for the price.

I was told that Kobalt at Lowe's was actually a Snap-On manufactured tool. Can anyone here can confirm that? I'd like to know too...

A long time ago they were; not no more.

Rats! I need to replace mine too. Craftsman isn't near as good as they used to be either, at least from my experience..

Mercava- Thanks for the clarification. I had been eyeing the Kobalt set, since its got good reviews on the lowes website.

Stephen- Those pratt reed ones look really nice, and I do like USA made! Im going to do some more research in the morning, and then hopefully order a set by tomorrow evening.

I've had these for a few years, and they've held up really well. I use screwdrivers a lot: http://www.amazon.com/Wiha-30297-12-Piece-Phillips-Screwdriver/dp/tech-data/B000T9SI60

They're made in Germany, if that matters too you. They're definitely worth the money.

Williams Snap-On industrial screwdriver set - reasonable price and high quality.

It's a gray color, not light. I checked out another website with zoomable photos of the tools.
