Being a home mechanic and hobby restorer I have a Craftsman tool collection I started 40 years ago. I would say that I have perhaps broken most of my tools at least once, some many times, and having a Sears down the street and a lifetime tool warranty made maintaining my tool collection easy. It still looks new!

@@stebstebanesier6205 -- The last time I visited my local Ace, they at least still had single Craftsman screwdrivers and nutdrivers on display. In fact, that's where I traded my 40+ year old #41295 #2 Phillips under the lifetime warranty. I had to look through the entire rack of new ones before I found one that wasn't defective -- all the others had the handle molded on at an easily visible angle. That said, the 41295 is still my go-to #2 unless I need a fuktonne of torque -- in those cases, I use either my cheap Harbor Freight 3/8" drill or a Buck Bros. "4-IN-ONE," which has enough exposed hex on its bits to use a wrench for a little more "oomph" if necessary. Maybe it's just me, but I hate the idea of mangling a screwdriver's handle with a Vise-Grip -- YMMV...

A side thought here. My first screw driver set was a wooden handle set, very low cost , but the largest screw driver handle was twice as long so you could easily use two hands on it. It was great for me back in the early 1980's building a large train table. using screws with a slot on the top. Black and Decker had a slot screw driver as well I used on the drill but the double handed screw driver let me drive those screws in even farther, tighter.

On that same screwdriver, if you notice the square shaft, it can be used in the same way with a pair of plyers, small crescent wrench, needle nose, whatever is handy on the bench, whenever you need just a little bit more torque. I've done this probably thousands of times over the years. However, I have to admit that I did NOT realize that a box-end wrench fit over the handle. (Probably works with the Extreme Grip series, too. The early (1990's) versions of it work, I just checked. (Craftsman screwdrivers have always fit my hands well.))

For years as a printing press operator I learned and or developed many trade tricks, and that was one of them! Another was the hooking of a box end wrench around the short end of an Allen wrench to give some extra leverage. But then everybody knows that one by now I bet.

@@dirty7739 plugging in a computer to do diagnostics is not difficult... Don't pretend your job is harder than it actually is, there is a very clear reason why mechanics are the lowest payed trade. Specialized mechanics that build engines or transmissions are a different story. But 99% they are dumbasses

Hey guess what. Thats why they make a electrical screwdrivers. No these aren't good for working on any type of electrical because your hands can easily slip and touch the metal shaft. But you go ahead and just keep on keepin on with your beliefs.

ROTFL -- plumbers use Crescent wrenches and/or pipe wrenches for pretty much *everything*! That said, a (preferably six point) box-end wrench or a deep socket is a lot easier on a Craftsman screwdriver's handle.

People don't bother buying a large wrench just for this, you can use an adjustable wrench or pliers on the square shaft and that's why it is square. But use use caution because those drivers are week and will twist.
