electrician here. I use Wera primarily, although weidemueller also makes I would say equivalent quality tools. Mine are the insulated kind; I think its just a plastic sleeve on the normal screwdriver. That said, I have one Klein in my pouch as well; the #6 flatblade with the square shaft. It's my 'beater blade', so it's a lever, chisel, wedge, pry bar and sometimes I even use it on fasteners . In my experience, the Wera tools are much less prone to damaging fasteners than other brands. Milwaukee isn't bad, but the hand tools are too heavy and clunky. Like a Russian tractor. Plenty strong, just... not wieldy. This test was the one that I most easily predicted the outcome on of all the PF tests. I will say I have no experience with the more expensive brands shown in this test, however.

Can also confirm Wera’s quality. Apple uses their drivers for device repairs. Been using one of their sets for just under 4 years, and around 4500-5000 individual repairs on phones and other electronics.. I’ve only had to replace one bit so far. 10/10 would use again. Edit: I’d like to add that the only downside of the drivers/bits are the price. The ipr 1 half moon bit (pentalobe for iPhones) runs anywhere from $35-$50 each. Pretty high price from what I’ve seen. But, seeing as how I’ve only replaced it once, less than $10 a year for use is not too bad.

@John Yikes....you are displaying a wholly inordinate amount of hostility. It's weird. The average homeowner doesn't buy tools to resell.

My screwdrivers are a mix of Craftsman, Milwaukee, Wiha, Wera, and Klein...none of which have ever failed me...even under some pretty harsh conditions. All of which are vastly less expensive than Snap On. Snap On is for professionals who make their living with their tools...not for the average homeowner.

Milwaukee has a set of drivers (2, Phillips and flat) with solid shafts through the handle and metal 'impact caps'. Absolute monsters, but I have 2 sets of them. One just for bashing and the other for screws. The flat is the best grout chisel/tile wedge I've ever owned. The Phillips makes a great center punch for concrete when you're drilling so your masonry bit doesn't walk all over the place. 10 out of 10 do recommend.

I would have kept the 1987 one going but it needed a tub and wasn't worth it. I repaired that machine about 4 times in 32 years and all the time they were minor repairs many years apart. Both were made by WLP in Findlay, OH, which is still where WLP makes dishwashers today. I bought plenty of items over the years as did my parents, uncles and grandparents. I went with my grandparents to this very store in 1975 to buy their Kenmore (Whirlpool made) washer and dryer. They only needed repair one time, when I was in my 30s and I repaired both of them in an hour for under $70 in parts. I sold the dryer in 2013 for what my grandparents probably paid for it and it was working like new. Even the "end of cycle" buzzer still worked. Recently, the neighbor that managed that Sears gave me a snow blower he got there in 2006, well after he retired in 1993.

One of the common issues with screwdrivers camming out and stripping is that most people are unaware that not all screws that look like Philips are intended to be the same. If there is a little dot in one corner of the screw head it’s an indication that it’s a Japanese Industrial Standard screw. These are a slightly different shape than Philips. Philips screws are designed to cam out because their application is for carpentry or other single uses. You would rather have the driver slip out before the head breaks off as the screw head gets flush or deeper into wood. JIS screws are designed to not cam out. They are for mechanical applications, where they might be removed and reinstalled on a regular basis for maintenance and repair. You don’t want to mix and match head types, but JIS drivers work okay on Philips screws where Philips drivers will fail miserably on JIS screws, especially with removing machine threads that have thread lock on them. This is why so many people have gone to work on a Japanese toy, appliance or a motorcycle only to find all the screw heads strip.

Pro tip for fledgling tradesmen: mix your screwdriver brands. I'm an electrician by trade. And when I'm reaching into my pouch in an attic, or through a drop ceiling, or a bunch of other places, I often can't see. If you have different brands in your pouch, your fingers will be able to tell your #8 Robertson from your #2 Phillips from your big bitch blade by the different grips. And when you have to send a green-as-grass apprentice into your pouch and they don't know the difference, having different-coloured and -shaped grips help identify things.

Years ago I had a flat bladed Craftsman screwdriver that I used for just about everything except a screwdriver. It was bought in the early 1970's when they were made in USA and made of pretty good steel. I used it for a pry bar, chisel, hammer, and knife. It was getting pretty worn so sometime in the 1990's, I took advantage of the lifetime warranty to get a new one. No problem. But the problem was the very first time that I went to use it on a stove bolt, the very thing it was designed to work on, it broke. Not only broke but the tip shattered. Got a new, new one but wish I had kept the old one and just regrinded the tip to fix it!

I'm just curious if spending 10 times the money gets one ten times the accurate tightness. Reviews I've already seen out there of the Pittsburgh ones, some after long-term use, lead me to believe that unless you're torquing down those heat shields for the next Mars mission at NASA, those "economy" ones might be just fine for getting some head bolts balanced well enough. But then I used to use an old brass fishing or luggage scale with a combination wrench and just do the math. So, I'm not what you might call "ultra-picky".

Since that was comparing apples to oranges, Wera also has a version with a striking cap (called "Schraubmeißel" meaning screw driving chisel). And those obviously don't move when hammering.

Another thing that would be useful to test is how well these screwdrivers perform out in the sun on a hot day. I’ve found through personal experience that with some brands of nut drivers (such as Jonard) the plastic handle becomes so soft on a hot day that the shaft just rotates inside the plastic handle, where as with other brands (such as Klein) this is not an issue. This is a big deal for me since I work outside and I use these tools every day. The two most important things to me when selecting a screwdriver or nut driver is how good is the grip (ergonomics) and how good is the plastic it’s made of. Just a thought, maybe for a future video.

Just about every electrician has a large slot blade screwdriver that they use as a pry bay, punch, and chisel. They use their linesman pliers as a hammer. A better test would have been to actually hit the screwdriver to see if it's too soft, or too brittle. I used to think that you should only use a tool for what it's meant for, but it's so much easier to carry half as many tools when you use everything as a hammer.

Before watching, I'm cheering for the Vessel. It's the only "Phillips" screwdriver I've ever used that isn't absolutely hateful. The big winner for me is that I have 3 vintage Kawasaki's, and anything but a Vessel will butcher those very soft JIS heads.

You do realize JIS is not the same as a Phillips.

@@MRMETZGAR1962 I am palpably aware of that. Vessel are JIS. A JIS driver works very well in a Phillips fastener. A Phillips driver will ruin a JIS fastener.

I bought a set of Vessels to work on my 75 Honda ct70 and my Honda cars,it’s crazy how much better they are,no cramming out at all. Well worth the money.

Great testing again Todd. Further proving a lesson that I learned long ago about how Buy American is not always a sure thing. We can all be grateful for Iowa born Dr. Deming. Who went overseas after this country foolishly slammed the door in his face. This truth is not taught in our schools of course. Keep up the great testing!

Love the way you talk quickly through the points and not waste a lot of time with fluff. Aporeciste the time you take to make these, editing must be fierce.
