I'm assembling a set of hand tools for my son in law. No, that's a lie - they're primarily for my daughter. My son in law is a manager and has zero use for tools - just spends money they don't have when something breaks. My daughter is the brains of the outfit - manages the money and fixes shit when and where she can. So anyway, I've been buying good used tools at estate sales for them, but there's seldom a decent screwdriver to be seen - let alone a set of 5 or 6. So I figure I'll just buy those new. I bought Snap-On screwdrivers for myself in high school based on the cool factor and the fact their handles were the best around at the time. Well that and the tool rep would accept time payments directly from my service station job. They've held up very well, but I now know better.

So can some of you who actually work with their hands recommend a good screwdriver brand based on strength, durability, ergonomics and price? Figure a cordless drill/driver isn't in the cards for them just yet - if ever. Thanks!

Wera for bad assedness. But they are screwdrivers, Dewalt, craftsman, rigid, cobalt will all work fine for light home useage. Hell, I even bought some Hart from Walmart once in a pinch and they have been just fine.

Damn - I try to avoid Wallyworld like the plague, but sometime you just have to do it.
