Wiha 30297 12-Piece Slotted and Phillips Screwdriver Set with Soft Finish Handles

Finding a good set of screwdrivers is like finding a needle in a hay stack anymore. Sure you can pony up and spend tons of money on the Snap-On set, but screwdrivers are ultimately disposable tools and that’s a huge investment for something that ultimately is going to take legit abuse if you’re using these in a professional setting.I finally decided to upgrade from my basic Harbor Freight Pittsburg set and grab these. The value is there considering it offers Torx as well. I’ve used these on numerous projects and here are my thoughts:Ergonomics - love the handle on these and they are very nice to use. This is often overlooked and is one of the most important aspects of a tool you’re using often.Function - you’d think a screwdriver is a screwdriver but that’s where you’d think wrong. A cheaper screwdriver that isn’t ground properly can easy round screws whereas a more precision ground screwdriver won’t. This is where the rubber meets the road. If you’re in the middle of a project, a stripped screw can cost you a ton of time. Time can be money. That 75$ you saved by buying a cheaper set now just cost you more money. Keep this in mind.Durability - again this is where often times you get what you pay for. I’ve straight sheared flat head tips off in normal usage and destroyed the tips of Phillips head screwdrivers beyond recognition. This is especially true with craftsman screwdrivers. So far these look as good as the day I hung them on my magnetic screwdriver holder and they’ve definitely been used and abused.These may not be the set if you’re just hanging things on the wall with drywall anchors or doing basic work. But if you’re a hobbyist or a professional you need something durable and reliable. Personally that’s why I chose these. They’re not the cheapest, but that’s kind of the point.

These are very precisely made screwdrivers. They are comfortable to use and the tips have very precise tolerances. This set has a really good selection of screwdrivers, including the stubby’s.Lowes carries Wiha now, but the screwdriver “set” there is smaller.

Strong construction, good product value for your money and a very professional set.

I have waited so long to purchase a decent set of screw drivers for myself. I had the biggest pile of useless to semi useless mix brand and legacy gifts, finds, and loans, you have ever seen collected over decades. I swore that someday I would buy a quality set like this.particularly at this price point. I shopped...like I always do....read the reviews....and these are truly the shiznozzle. They fit perfect in the palm of your hand and have a very comfortable non slip surface that won't deteriorate. I am missing two fingers on my right hand, so comfort and twistability is a key feature. These have little flat spots that give you that extra place to grab with your palm or fingers, should you have them...that really help with torque. The blade tips fit the intended screw exactly, and you have lots to choose from to get the intended size for the job. For once you can be sure that the blade of the driver doesn't give up first. These are every bit the quality hardened metallurgy you expect from the Germans. My only advice is don't wait so long to gift yourself with quality tools. The idea that you can buy something you could pass on to your kids is still alive in a product like this...even thought you might not be. I am more than okay with tools that outlast me.

Bought these after extensive research for replacements for my ancient Craftsman sets. I had noticed heads of fasteners getting a little messed up and the tips showed visible wear after all these decades(!).Price was not really an object for me, as long as the tools were of high quality. I also considered Wera and some other brands, although in the end, German design and manufacture appeal to me. I had honestly never heard of this brand before, but after reading tons of great reviews from non-professional mechanics (like me) as well as professionals and tradesmen, I decided this was the brand to try out.WOW! I had no idea such perfect precision was possible in screwdrivers! These fit into the heads of screws so well that there is basically zero play and no cam-out. It's as if the head of the screws were formed onto the tips of the screwdrivers. Also, the handles fit comfortably in hand and are a pleasure to grip and turn. I will definitely be expanding my Wiha collection in the near future.HIGHLY recommend!!!

I have had an assortment of various makes of screw drivers for years and wanted to have one set of nice screw drivers that I could count on. I ordered this set to fill that need.Here is what I liked about the set:1. Nice handles that are easy on the hands and still provide good grip.2. Well made and the tips actually fit the screws they were designed for.3. Nice looking set.Here is what I did not like:1. Markings on the handles are inconsistent. As an example, on the caps of the slotted screw drivers it will show an emblem for a slot and give the slot size. On the square drives there is NO emblem and NO size! So, if you have these screw drives on a wall hanger and thought you could look at the handle ends to see what type and what size screw driver you had, forget it!2. The set is not inclusive enough to provide all of the sizes you need. What is especially missing is a squat length wide handle for removing screws in tight location. Actually, while the range in sizes is fine in general, there needs to be a much greater range if you really want to buy a single set that solves your needs.One final thought, if you do not have a specific need for square drives or torx drive you are wasting you time buying this set! My reason for dropping one star has to do with not having the stubby drivers as part of the set as they are generally a high use item.

This brand produces high quality products and these are. Was a little concerned with how well the comfortable handles would hold up but not the case. Worth the extra cost. Hope the brand doesn't pull a north face.
