Screwdrivers - which ones do you actually use?

Loves me some T25 self starting wood screws …

Used 'em today to anchor a handrail!

Look at that, I learned a new word today.

Glad I could help.

Go forth and sin no more.

Unfortunately sarcasm doesnt translate well to the internet. I have asked for years for a special font to indicate sarcasm.

Most screwdriver sets include a variety of lengths/sizes but most of them are either unused.....or get used for unintended purposes (e.g. prybar).

Which screwdrivers do you actually use? For me, the below screwdrivers cover 99% of my needs:

- #2 Phillips (standard length)
- #2 Phillips (mini)
- #1 Phillips
- #0 Phillips (extremely rare)
- 1/4" Flat Tip (standard length)
- 3/8" Flat Tip (long), but mostly used as a prybar.
- JIS #2 (standard)
- JIS #3 (Impacta)

Best screw driver I have is a 6 in 1 Klein, the "extended" version. use it all the time.

I contacted Tekton and they claim their markings will withstand solvents. I ordered the 4 pc set and I'll be immediately taking brake cleaner to the hard handles

Well the Tekton markings don't exactly withstand non-chlor brake cleaner. Here I went at the center two in the pic. Interestingly the PH2 came off much more which is REALLY unfortunate because that's the ONE I would like to retain it's marking (most used).

They do stand up to Tub 'O Towels wipes just fine.

As I feared expecting any "paint" to withstand non-chlor is just asking too much. But there are other ways to do this instead of just applying a color on the surface of the handle. I'm kind of surprised no one seems to do that. The "Tekton" is cast into the handle...

I have this set of Vessel ball grips. The "butts" are marked with + or - which wear off easily, but the color differentiates the two styles, and the balls are also sized differently so you can tell which one you are grabbing.

I really like the Vessel ball drivers but a lot of users don't, it a personal thing. The tips are long lastings and the grips provide plenty of turning power.
