Wera5018282001 932/6 Kraftform Plus Screwdriver Set and Rack, 6-Pieces

I was on the hunt for a quality set of drivers for weeks. This caught my eye because they're German-designed and come in a rack yet the price is strangely low. I was not sure what to expect, especially since they're "full-tang" if you will. I almost bought the green-handled ones without the steel core, but I couldn't find any reason not to get these; I don't see any compromises.So I received them yesterday, and immediately I was impressed by the feel. A screwdriver has no moving or hollow parts so they shouldn't differ much in feel, but something about the density is pleasing to me. The striking face on the back is very subtle and unobtrusive, which I thought was a nice touch vs. the expected enormous chromed striking surface.I was simply hoping for a solid alloy, but I was pleasantly surprised. These are far and away the most positively-engaging screwdrivers I've ever used. I was driving a basic drywall screw with one of the Philips into a vertical surface. I let go of the driver, and it hung in space, not even wiggling. A *Philips* head, so positively engaged that it can't fall out, is nothing I've ever seen before. I didn't think Philips had the geometry to support that, but there it was.They can still cam out, I learned, on some Philips screws. Well, that's more on the head than anything else, you know? The drywall screws I was using had deep heads, and I wasn't able to get the tip to slip on those even when driving partially out of socket and at a slight angle. I didn't have a chance to hammer on the end of any of them, but I did start a screw by smacking the end of the driver with my palm and then wrenching it all the way into a stud by hand with no pilot hole, and the torque (good grip on these) and solid bite really made it a non-ordeal.I haven't hit these with a hammer yet, or been an impatient jerk and used them to pry things, so I can't tell you if they can move the earth. What I can say is I don't regret a dime of the $40 I paid, there's absolutely nothing inferior about these, and I suspect you can't really get much better without a huge price hike.

Excellent screwdrivers! Very durable and a great price for some demo screwdrivers. These are made in the Czech Republic!

Likes: Wera quality, hand and grip feel, design, packaging, and chisel driver full tang and plate.These are identical to the green screwdriver set only with a back plate for hammering in case of a really stuck fastener or the other things we were told not to use screwdrivers for. The set comes with an easy to organize and hang holder if you are into that kind of thing and it looks very nice as a set. Wera sets themselves a part in packaging. Getting a set of screwdrivers feels very similar to opening your first high quality tech device, with all the bells whistles of an unboxing video. Aside from the known high quality tools you know you are getting, the packaging really takes it over the edge and makes the opening experience memorable.Dislikes: None.

I've been using these as my go-to screwdriver set for 3 months now and I have to say that I'm impressed. I've taken advantage of all of these chiseldrivers and haven't found any faults yet. The grip is superb...offering more (and more comfortable) torque than any of the competitors. The steel end cap and extra-durable tips work for in-a-pinch situations where you need a chisel. I've even used the hex bolsters a few times, which has been convenient.I also have sets of Craftsman acetate-handle screwdrivers, Klein cushion-grip screwdrivers and Felo Ergonics, and these Wera Chiseldrivers win hands down. The Craftsman's are well...ok. The Klein's are better, but their tips tend to wear down relatively quickly and the Felo's, while quite soft and comfortable, don't hold up well over time and the tips have twisted. The Felo's also don't offer as much torque as the Wera's do.I'll be using these for years to come plan on purchasing the rest of the sizes offered.Update: In the past few years, I've also tried out Wiha 30295 Screwdriver Set, Slotted and Phillips, 5 Piece, SK Hand Tool 86320 SureGrip Combination Screwdriver Set, Green, 6 Piece, Williams 100P-8MD 8-Piece Premium Mixed Screwdriver Set and Stanley Proto J1208SC Duratek Combination Screwdriver Set, 8-Piece (what can I say...I have a bit of a screwdriver obsession) and these Wera Chiseldrivers are still my favorites. The tips have held up remarkably for the past 3 years of heavy use.

By far my favorite screwdrivers. The tips have held up great and you can beat on the back of them with no issues. I will be rebuying the day they do wear down, if it ever happens

Good quality and solid

All in one. If, like me, all you've owned are a mix of crappy, soft screwdrivers that bend or chip easily or the nearly-as-bad old Craftsman screwdrivers that hold up well but are miserable on your hands, then these will be one of the best tool purchases you'll ever make. They're outstanding screwdrivers with wonderful, ergonomic handles. And then they striking caps for you to beat on the ends. And hex bolsters so you can add a wrench for greater torque when turning. And seriously hardened shafts so that when you poke and prod and do all the things you aren't supposed to do with a screwdriver, they survive intact. It's always wonderful when your pessimistic everything-is-junk attitude gets proven wrong. These are good for that.
