What do you think of these screwdrivers?

[cadfaeltex]

In my continuing quest to replace my cheap tools with ones that actually work well and last I found this...

They also have dozens of other options. At other online tool place I've ordered from they also have some Williams made in the USA and some Bahco from Spain.

German tools in general are excellent. You won't be disappointed with those.

Wiha is very good stuff. Witte, Wisent, Felo, Hazet, and Elora are good German names in screwdrivers also.

What about the anti cam feature, do you think that it is a good thing?

 

[Trav]

ACR bits reduce cam out 30-40% so its a good thing. ACR is not a Wiha innovation, many companies offer this style.

I have a set of Wiha drivers with that same handle, but they're a cheaper series without the ACR tips.

I really like my drivers and I like the handle.

They have holes in the handles. Holes don't belong in screwdriver handles.

What's the website where I can get Bahco? I've been trying to get a set of special screwholding watchmakers screwdrivers made by Bahco, but I can't seem to find them in the USA. If I go to Germany, I can get them no problem, but I don't go there on a regular basis.

toolsdelivered dot com for the Bahco.

Any GOOD tool company should be making a stride to combat the Chinese junk with marketing their products.

Wiha makes good stuff. I have some small screwdrivers for electronics. I never thought of them as automotive screwdrivers.

What about Craftsman tools?

 

[TheBig2003]

Craftsman tools are, in my opinion, the best on the market for your money. Sure there are some better screwdrivers and tools out there, such as Mac or Snap-On (old handles), but you cannot beat Craftsman's warranty and access to replacements or internals.
My garbage tools are Mastercrap and my professional tools are Craftsman.

 

[stephen9666]

In the US, the regular Craftsman screwdrivers are not very good. I think there are better choices for the money.

But, the Craftsman Pro screwdrivers are a big improvement, if you want to spend the extra.

If you want a bargain-priced screwdriver set, I think they're are better options.
