Which make of VDE screwdriver do you think is the best?

[frontier219]

The CK dextro are fantastic screwdrivers IMO, but I've just bought a set of the Wiha interchangables (not torque) and I'm very impressed thus far. I looked at the Wera but really don't like the feel of their 'ergonomic' handles.

One that I haven't seen mentioned that I have been using for a while now are Teng, which have been the best of anything I've used so far (CK, Bahco, Draper Expert or Wera)

Whia slim drivers. The grips are nice and chunky. That said the lasertip wera ones are nice

Bought a lovely set of bahco screwdrivers nice long handles, snapped 4 of them in as many weeks,
back using my indestructible CKs. I ve wound in 1.1/2 8s with a small terminal driver no problem!
yeehaa!

Was in the same shop I bought the screwdrivers in on Wednesday and ended up coming out with the side cutters! They have been excellent so far. Taking a bit of getting used to right enough as they are 160mm (only size they come in unfortunately).

to be honest i use a set of 160mm wiha cutters day to day. will happily cut 6mm so cant ask any more.

i dont know why people buy 180mm+ when you get over say 6/10mm you want croppers/shears anyway or it crushes the conductor (i have stripped 1mm-25mm with my shears, 25mm is about the limit to cut with the small knipex shears)

Started using roughneck and CK now using Wera and haven't looked back, nice and comfortable to use

I've just started to use facom. They seem pretty good, and a good ergonomic grip. Time will tell if they're built to last.

Wiha for me had them for years, they are solid pieces of kit, I've always had the slim vario range which are a good feature

[Breeze]

The firm I work for specify I have to order from a catalogue of a supplier they "prefer" to use. No outlay for me so its all good. Some brown envelopes have passed hands I think!

Anyone Tried Klein screrw drivers, They looks good but seam to be £20+ Each so ruled them out. I stick with Irizola's, have a wera set to but not so keen on them. Have the Whia torque driver set and that seams good, I do like the look of the slim tips.
