Screwdriver Set - 8/Pkg

These are great. I bought them to have as an "extra" set in my garage toolbox next to my old USA-made acetate-handled set... I find myself reaching for these first every time. The handles give good grip, and I love that they're not round - keeps them from rolling around in my toolbox drawer. The magnetic tips are well-machined and fit well in their respective fastener sizes. The hex shank has come in handy more than I thought they would, and the large identification of the tip makes grabbing the right driver a lot easier. I wish they were USA-made, but such is the world we live in right now.

What can I say they do work pretty good. The handles are pretty comfortable and so far they have been durable. I do have a preferred brand of screwdrivers but these are what was available at the time. I do think these are a good value for what they are but if this was something that was in your hand every day I would not expect them to last more than 6 to 9 months.

I'll start my review by stating that I am accustomed to quality screwdrivers. My previous set is a diamond tip screwdriver set. I discovered the Milwaukee screwdriver via their two-piece demolition set. Over time, I realized that whenever I needed a manual screwdriver, I reached for the Milwaukee demolition screwdrivers. I decided to try this 8-piece Milwaukee set. The screwdrivers in this 8-piece set are very well balanced. I did not recognize the balance until I held the Milwaukee and my previous set side-by-side for the same size and type. In addition, the Milwaukee feels lighter and stronger. How does a screwdriver feel stronger, right? All that I can say is that the Milwaukee feels like the better engineered screwdriver. I love the hex shank and the ends have a coating on them that makes them really grip the screw head. Also, the handles are longer on the Milwaukee, which makes me feel like I have a more precise grip on the screwdriver. There are two cons for me: (1) as the blade/tip size, e.g., PH1 to PH2 to PH3, increases, the Milwaukee handles do not increase in diameter as much as my diamond tip screwdrivers - you have better control with the larger-diameter handle, (2) the blade tip size (PH1, PH2, or PH3) is not stamped/written anywhere on the Milwaukee. Yes, you can judge the blade tip size by sight, but I've become accustomed to have the size printed on the shank. Nevertheless, the Milwaukee is still an excellent choice and has become my primary screwdriver set.
