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!

I post in a bit, and figured someone will just assume this is booze related and post their mixology recipe.

This brings back memories. They told me I looked like I listened to screwdriver back in the day.

The real answer is that you should give what is yours to your progeny. You can't take it you your grave even if you are Chosen. Buy some new tools that do what you need them to.

I'm not that old, and I'm still using my Snap-Ons! Besides, my son gets them when I'm done with them.

Then do not help him out. Give him the same problem your father gave you to solve.
