About three years ago I bit the bullet and forked over around 90 bucks for a set of Wilson phillips screwdrivers. Probably the best money I ever spent when it comes to tools. I have never stripped any screw with them and they get used almost daily.

I prefer the soft-handled grips. Are any of those mentioned above significantly better than Husky?

Another vote for Wiha. I work for a German owned company in the field service department and we can order certain tools from Wiha.

Their stuff is top notch and very durable.

Wiha are good, but I prefer Felo. This set is outstanding, and very reasonably priced on Amazon at $54:

Thank you, everyone. Lots to consider.

I've got a lot of nice ones, but the one that gets used all the time is a fine tooth ratcheting Snap-On with interchangable magnetic bits. Stupid expensive, and not always the answer, but it's the busiest tool in the house by far.

Chach, that was a good video you posted. I agree w/ just about his entire assessment.

I have a Picquic SixPac Plus. If you can only have one screwdriver, it should be one of these or a competitor's knock-off version. Here's a good photo of one that was rebranded for LG.



What I like about the Picquic is the extended 1/4" hex bits work perfectly in drill and impact drivers. If a ratcheting function is important to you, then get Rolgear. Both Picquic and Rolgear are high quality, yet reasonably priced and won't break the bank unlike tool truck brands.

I have a Felo set. It comes in a metal case with one handle and has 12 different tips. Torx, slotted, phillips and hex. The handle can be used as a tee if needed.

Look up Felo on Amazon. They.have a wide selection. German made.
