Amtech W5600 Mechanics Screwdriver Set Magnetic Tips, Steel Blade Flat Head Slotted and Phillips, Hex Bolsters use with Wrench or Socket

Product Information

They look good in light blue and black, but we’d have preferred better colour coding, which is limited to the tops of the handles. It has a wide selection of drivers, being the only one to include Torx options as well as Phillips, Pozi and slotted heads, plus 10 bits fitted into a fold-out holder, and two sets of hex keys. Heavy duty PVC handles with hexagon shaped bolsters can be used with spanners or wrenches for extra torque.

HEAD TYPES - This pack contains screwdrivers with the following headsheads: Torx T2, Combat TRI-Point T0. Magnetic tips are always useful to prevent fasteners slipping into the engine bay or cavities, and a case or rack helps keep the tools clean and together. I love the steel endcaps in particular—you can rap the back of these drivers with a hammer when needed. We like the wide-ranging selection, all of which are clearly colour coded and the shafts are hex rather than round. This Draper is one of three sets to come in a plastic stand, and it can sit on the bench or be screwed to the wall to prevent cluttering the work space.

Pro Tool Reviews is a successful online publication that has been providing tool reviews and industry news since 2008. The precision drivers – two slotted, two Phillips and six Torx – could be useful, particularly for smaller electrical items, and the main ’drivers include a couple of stubbies, but with Pozi rather than Phillips for crossheads. We use bubble wrap or other suitable packaging materials and then put your items in relevant-sized boxes.

Pro Tool Reviews managing editor Kenny Koehler also proclaimed them the most comfortable he’d ever used. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. There are holes for a T bar and all are magnetic, but having just six tools spread across three types is a bit limiting, and there are no stubbies or really large ’drivers. As you can imagine, when you apply enough twisting force, the torque can quickly overcome the small amount of handle coverage. Additionally, Klein gives you 1/4″, 5/16″, and 3/8″ nut drivers with the handle itself giving you a 1/2″ nut driver.

With a screwdriver, you want precise control and a tip that doesn’t slip off the fastener and damage your material.

Since all screwdrivers eventually end up with damaged tips, I love the replaceable 3-inch blades as well.

T-handles should have enough material to deliver the required torque without feeling like you might twist the steel shaft or break off the handle.Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. The ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip, making these tools reliable companions for any project. If your item is damaged, you must sign it as damaged with the courier and do not accept the package. Also, a “cheap” set of screwdrivers might look good up front, but if the blades break and the handles shatter when you need them the most… Well, you might wish you had spent more upfront for a nicer set!

Handle holes and magnetic blades are also plus points, and the indents at the base of the handles prevent oily fingers slipping. When he's not playing with the latest power tool, Clint DeBoer enjoys life as a husband, father, and is an avid reader—especially the Bible. When choosing the best screwdriver sets I focused on several key aspects of what makes a good hand tool.Since Wiha uses double-sided bits, they manage more in this driver than we’ve seen in any other design. This Halfords set is very well made and the colour coding is particularly effective, with red or yellow tops and a series of coloured dots down the handles. One thing you can’t ignore about this Craftsman 12-piece screwdriver set is that it carries a lifetime replacement warranty. The tapering handle design does mean that the grip is compromised in high-torque situations, especially with greasy fingers. Where a product develops a fault, a repair or replacement will be offered, as long as the item is within its manufacture warranty timescale.
