Ive not tried those but they look a nice quality screwdriver set. I tend to use a lot of Wera screwies for electronics, mainly as their tips resist wear nicely considering the use they get. IMHO there are too many cheapo drivers about these days and many tend not to engage properly right from the start. And tip wear appears in no time at all which isn't good really. Cheers John
My main set are the yellow ones you see me use from time to time, I’ve had those for about 15 years I think, but the tips are excellent, I’ve tried numerous sets since then and as you’ve experienced too had the same issues over and over again with tips that either don’t fit well or wear out quickly, it is nice to have another set of decent drivers to use. I am pretty sure there is no such thing as having too many screwdrivers.
I have a set of similar Fluke leads. The retractable tip guards are awesome. I already lost those plastic bits on another leads which had regular, removable tip guards. My favourite leads, however, are from Probemaster - very soft, flexible and sharp - great for SMD work.
Welectron were going to send me some probe master leads late last year, so some reason they never got around to it... pity as I would have liked to give them a go as they do have a good reputation too.
Defpom's Electronics & Repair Got two sets from Welectron. One model has thin, long spring-loaded tips. I have never used that one yet :) The other set with 2mm tips I use all the time. It has super sharp tips and also very low profile due to soft handle - it can be bent out of the way if needed. But the Fluke leads are great too.
I use Proxxon 28148 screwdriver set. It was not too expensive and comes with a nice stand. I was thinking at getting a set from Wera or Wiha at first, but did not find a good one. Larger sets tend to be in one-handle-many-bits format which is not too convenient for bench use. I did not know that Pomona makes screwdrivers.
@@Limeayy I didn't either until I contacted Pomona about some suspicious cables I had purchased on eBay, and ended up having discussions with a rep from Fluke.

Nice looking screwdrivers. I didn’t know Fluke owners Pomona. Thanks for sharing regards Chris

I use the fluke test leads that are exactly the same and I love them! Really good all round probe
Yes I am certainly liking them.
The FLUKE leads are TL175 - I have used them for years - very good, there is also a version with plugable ends - I think it's TL175E
Now to make the test leads perfect they could have gold coated tips :-)

Doesn't Fluke have those too? The Pomona leads.
Lime - Fluke own Pomona, so yes I expect that they have exactly the same leads but with Fluke on them instead.
@@TheDefpom Oh really, I didn't know Fluke owns Pomona..
