Decent screwdrivers
Laverdaroo:
Got heapsof the stanley blue ones from my sit edays, I'll have a rummage Tim, If I can find the box with all that in I'll bung you a couple up FOC, I'm not using them anymore, The Halfrauds stuff is ace but its a bit dear except their advanced stuff which is what I have mostly.
Got bits of US pro but not much, I agree on its toughness, You'd be hard pressed to knacker it unless you were in fullgorilla mode with scaffold bars as pivots etc.
I bought that 1/4" deive Bahco socket set you suggested a while ago Nige, nice thing that and really well made. Got it off gumtree with some other bits for a tenner.......Top tip, cheers.

Thanks for input chaps just what I wanted. Cheers for the offer Roo, over and above what I was after etc. but don't go out of your way.
I was looking at what US Pro do and many of them have what is called "go through drive". Basically the drive shank extends through the handle and has a square drive for wrench assistance for more torque. Never seen that before but to me it would make if uncomfortable to handle using it normally (most of the time??) Any experience our there?

The "go through" i have seen is flush with the handle top so you can hit it with a hammer, snap on(mega bucks) usually have a hex part below the handle to put a spanner on.
Nearly all old screws need either an impact driver or a clout on the screwdriver to shake them loose.
Dont forget all crosspoint screws on our old stuff is JIS not phillips or pozi.
Ken likes the later used 8mm headed bolts as used on the 250N and later and i must say they made life in the workshop a helluva lot easier

I dont mind that type and don't find them difficult to use, that's if you're not having to do much heavy continuous turning with them. Can be used to tap the top with hammer to clear paint from fixings etc.
For longer "drives" I'm using makita powered driver in construction tasks for example, so longer use handling not so important.
Depends on your ultimate use I guess, if you've got jis for bike stuff, are the screwdrivers for other task?
