Well explained! Thank you so much for being patient and your Attention to details👍
OMG that skill tool looks so much fun to use I had no idea of it's existence hahaha
Wow, great review. Quite thorough, I learned a lot. Thanks very much.
I use the Pittsburg pro ones everyday. Love them. $11 for a whole set including stubbys. You can NOT get any better than that. Magnetized and a nice soft grip handle
Thanks great video and have a happy new year
Happy New Year to you
New sub and HFT employee here, love the Quinn set.
I bought the Quinns today and I like them a lot. Very comprehensive set and I like the handles. I have a set of the bolstered drivers at work and they seem good but I haven't used them to there limit. I will share your channel on facebook because I enjoy it. Very good channel with a lot of good information... thank you
Thank you so much
Nice comparison video. Helps folks make decisions, thanks.
Thank you
I just got the Pittsburgh pro set of screw drivers. Really been pleased with them so far.
To open the qiunn. Cut the back card board with a razor knife horizontally where the metal is. Then I just pulled the cardboard off from back pulling down and up. Worked great!
Nice review. I am a huge fan of the Quinn brand at HF and just had to have this screwdriver set, so I bought it when they first came out. I am pleased with it, but I really wish they had included two stubbies instead of the two precision screwdrivers. I like the hex opening more than the thinner oval in the handles, because I don't hang my screwdrivers, I lay them in a drawer in my toolbox and I am more likely to use a hex key for extra leverage at some point instead of the square shafts, or the thinner opening like the Pittsburgh have. But I am happy that they included the square shafts, just in case I want to use a wrench on them at some point. I never even thought about the different color handles for the Phillips and Flat tips until you mentioned it, but yes that would have been nice. All-in-all I have been happy with this Quinn set, but now know the Pittsburgh set is nice too in case I decide I need to add to them in the future. Like most of us, I have about 3 different sets as it is hahaha. Thanks for the video and cheers.
Thank you for the comment and I always seem to damage and beat up screwdrivers that's why I buy them and since I've gotten hand quarter inch hex impact drivers I don't use extra leverage on a hand screwdriver
Good post sir. I was in my local napa store they had a 26pc screwdriver set on sale for 20. Bucks, Evercraft, they are pretty good, include torx sizes and a nice stand
What is that package opener and where do you get it?
I saw the Pittsburgh Pros and thought they looked nice (along with the Doyles). Just from looks, I liked them all, but had one minor gripe about the Pros: they didn’t label the handles. Quinn and Doyle both marked the handle “-“ or “+,” making it easier to identify. I also have mine in a tool cart holder, so this wouldn’t be a problem for someone that left them in a drawer or hangin on the wall. Still, would have been nice to add.
Thanks for the review, Mr. catus.
I bought the Pittsburgh Professional set earlier this month. The big grippy and comfortable handles of the Pro screwdrivers were a big selling point for me. You had me running out to my garage to test the magnetization of my slotted screwdrivers...mine are definitely all magnetized. I'd exchange your set because they are supposed to be magnetized. I really wished my set came with a #3 Philips though. I looked at a lot of sets, and the #3 Philips is missing from most all of them...I wonder why??? Didn't realize there were those other two lengths available separately. Great review.
Yes I find it odd that the number 3 Phillips is so rare
I'm also a fan of these Pittsburgh Pro screwdrivers. I feel they're the best I've ever owned, and I've also augmented the ones in the 8-piece set with the ones they sell individually at the bottom of the display -- including the big 3/8"x8" flat driver. But I was always very disappointed that I couldn't get a matching #3 Phillips to "fill-up" the set.
Then I discovered something by pure random chance:
On a family trip, we stopped at a travel center/truck stop -- might've been a Flying J, but I can't recall now. Anyway, over in the tool section of the store, I saw that they had screwdrivers being sold individually that were identical to the Pittsburgh Pro screwdrivers. The brand name was Road Pro, and the only difference was that the hard plastic portions of the handles were yellow (both flat and Phillips), instead of red or blue like the Pittsburg Pro. And they had them in #3 Phillips!!
Now, truck stop prices aren't quite the bargain you get at Harbor Freight; but I was still happy to walk out of there with two each of #3x6" Phillips, #0x3" Phillips and 1/8"x3" flat, and they're hanging proudly on my garage and basement pegboards alongside their Pittsburgh Pro cousins.
Just thought you might want to know ...
What’s the tool you used to open the package?
What was that tool called that you used to open the packaging?
I've got a Quinn diamond tip set, and the #2 Phillips on that set fits really well. I liked the set so much for driving stainless screws (which tend to be softer and get mangled easily, and the diamond tips and good fit mean I've never messed up a screw while using these), I bought a spare. If you haven't already done so, you might take a look at those.
How well do the magnetic heads work? I need a new set and have been considering the diamond tip, the Pittsburgh 8pc and the Doyle comfort set
AvE would be impressed by your package opener lol. I got the Pittsburgh set that comes in a case...junk. The blue Pittsburg with hex on the handle...so-so. I like the square shafts. Both of these sets look pretty good. I have been wanting a new set, although my ole Craftsman are still going strong, I just need more drivers to toss in my mobile box
The Quinn would probably be best because it's a nice complete set
Super cheap I'd go channellock, mid range I'd go whiha... May have spelled wrong lol and high end I love my snap on instinct screwdrivers
A decent set of screwdrivers from HF that includes a #3 phillips?
What's next, wrench and socket sets that don't skip important sizes?
God I hate skips on sockets.
@@xephael3485 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊!!!!!!!!!! 'Nuff said .........
It's ALWAYS the one you need.
drives my ocd nuts,I don't care if they even charged a little more for the set
@@falconater68 I work construction and sets usually stop at 3/4 where I need A 15/16 pretty often so no go. New channellocks with the teeth are bad ass for price
I bought a set of S K screwdrivers about 30 years ago. I have used them almost everyday and they are still in great shape. They have been beat on, used to pry with, and everything screwdrivers can be abused with. One flat tip broke. They replaced it, no questions asked. Just bought a brand new set of SK 3/8 sockets with 90 tooth ratchet. Best stuff around for the price.
one must take second mortgage to buy anything SK these days.
@@jerrykruger Really? A full 3/8 socket set for $189.00 is breaking your mortgage? Do you live in a box?
The scissors that harbor freight offers free, cuts that plastic to pieces. I bought the 2 piece Quinn set, to compare with my Milwaukee set. I really like the grip. The grip fits right into the shape of a closed hand, felt like I had more control and torque, because it let my had be in a natural position. Very good fit on #6 screw, I impacted a #6 2 1/2 screw, into hardwood and let I sit for the night, backed it out by hand, great bit and that handle. I have two sets of the pro's around the house, Quinn is a much better screw driver. Going to get the big set and Milwaukees are going to the truck box.
I have used the Quinns for 3 months now and I can say they are very nice and well built
I'm impressed by that little Skil opener you used to cut open all that packaging its after Christmas 2018 that would had been a good gift I'm sure many people i know would like to have gotten especially a Neice that has a 3 year old that lots of his toys are packaged. That way i have a hand injury on one hand that adds to my frustration trying to open those packages as i need to use scissors to get them open that can be challenging it is kind of strange that HF has so many screwdrivers i recently looked online. For sets and found many companies are doing the same thing ? I thought it was strange since now most people use. Cordless drivers with the interchangeable tips these days. I believe
Skill has a ixo screwdriver with this cutter as an attachment and Worx also has a similar cutter
I just keep a (free) pair of scissors in the toolbox and use that on packages like this. Either that or I just take my pocketknife to it.
junk
What about that really cheap pittsburgh 22pc set they have? How does that compare to the pittsburgh set you featured?
Catus, I appreciate the video. Very helpful and informative. If I could take one suggestion, it would be to chop the first three quarters, or edit it way down. Great info, but way too long. Cheers!
The Hallmark of my channel is excessively wordy videos, :)
@@CatusMaximus
Fair enough. I like your videos. I just think this one veered away from excessively wordy into exorbitantly wordy territory. Just my two pennies though.
From harbor freight I endorse the cheap zip discs, pro series impact sockets, have 17in 16 speed drill press that is pretty nice, no Bridgeport milling machine but plows some nice holes. Replace belts for more go. F and c clamps have been fine and that's my top tools for now
I fell in love with the Quinn set the moment I saw them. I never did buy them, though, because I already have the big, cheap, amber set. I did see the had a Quinn two-piece set, though. A phillips and a flat. So I sprung for that, to try them out. Oh, I also have the bottle opener, of course. Anyway, I got some good use out of these over the weekend. I love them. They’re solid, feel good in the hand, and the magnetic tips are strong. I need to throw out or give away my amber set and buy the full set of Quinns
I would also keep the old set to just in case because you never know
Yes I agree keep your old set around and tell you know the Quinn's are going to work out then give them to a friend
I’ve got a box full of snap on and Mac stuff and silly as it is I love those Pittsburg round shank screw drivers. I’ve had the orange and green ones for ever snd they have held up to daily use. I like the handle feel. Wish I could get the same handle in a more quality screw driver.
You can: Bahco 👍
i like the square shank drivers. you can put a wrench on the shaft and get more leverage closer to the work. the holes at the top are good for putting another screwdriver through it for more leverage, but it is farther away from where you need to apply the force. great video
I do like the square shafts but as some other commenters have mentioned they really have a lot of compatibility issues because the Shadows are so much larger than the round ones and when taking apart items usually do not fit
I don't like square shaft screwdrivers. First of all, the shank can be too big for some recessed screws. Second, they do not spin in your fingers near as well for speedy loosened screw removal. Third, I have never had the problem of not being able to apply enough torque to the screwdriver . . . rather the problem is always to apply more downward force to keep the screwdriver from camming out. Square shanks seem to be a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
There is a Pittsburgh Pro screwdriver, 3/8" by 8" sold individually at HF.
A friend of mine got the Quinn screw drivers. He said he didn't like the square shank #2 Phillips, he said it didn't fit into a screw (grab) as well as a round shank and can cause stripping. Some other brands that have the square shank on the Phillips but just near the tip it's rounded. As far as magnetized, you can use a magnetizer/demagnetizer on them. Other than the tips on the Phillips, the Quinn's appear to be pretty good. I have a set of the Pittsburgh Pro drivers that I keep in my car tool bag, at home in my tool chest I have some older Craftsman and Kobalt.
Yes that's an excellent point about the square tip screwdrivers and I lean more towards the Pittsburgh Pros myself
@@CatusMaximus Yes,I like the Pittsburgh Pro screw drivers. They also sell a few of the Pro screwdrivers separately, they seem to hold up pretty well.
If you look at the Home Depot 15 Piece Screwdriver Husky's, they are the exact same set sans the the Quinn handles. Home Depot sells it at $29.99.
I've had the Pittsburgh Professional 8-pc set for years, and at the current rate, it'll be a long while before I need to replace it with anything else. The set is a spectacular value for how well it wears.
Thanks for the comment
Ok I need to know which tool was used for that package opening. I have arthritis in my hands, and that Harbor Freight packaging kills my hands.
From looking at the Quinn set I almost got a dejavu feeling. If you go to Home Depot and look at the black handle Husky screwdriver sets the blades look identical. All the phillips are square shank as well. I have a set of the husky. Nice flat blades, ok Phillips. I occasionally have to tighten door knob screws in my house and round shank Phillips are better for that. The Quinn set appears to be same forging , just different handles.
Probably all coming from the same Factory
Am thinking since they’re both “less “ professional , which is my wheel house …I’d go with the more inclusive Quinn set as they didn’t seem all that much less of a secure fit ,had more options and seemed more sturdy with the square shanks for my habit of misusing screwdrivers from time to time ….really wish they were different color for flat and Phillips though …. Yet I gotta say my craftsmans have 3 colors for flat ,Phillips,and torx and two of em I still will mistake for one or the other a lot …can’t recall if it’s flat head or Phillips at the moment except one is the torx which is black and the other is dark blue , which when iam quickly looking I’ll still occasionally grab the opposite of what I Intended…
I think the holes in the Quinn fit the shanks so you can put another in to get more torque. I. Place of the nut they usually have on nicer sets
I guess I have been spoiled by Lowes and Home Depot when it comes to packaging (although still not great). Harbor Freight is by far the most overkill packaging for even the most inexpensive tools! I get the theft deterrent and protecting the product, but lately it's ridiculous and avoiding injuries just to get the tool out is a PITA. I'm still looking for a tool like you have but that's no guarantee in easy removals. Thanks for sharing.
Just buy the 69 cent razor knife at the registers, and cut three sides of the packaging while resting it on a table
You should do a review of masterforce comfort grip screwdrivers. S2 steel, very strait all have wrench shanks. Very very accurate machined and great looking too! Ive replaced all my screwdrivers with masterforce. Very impressive! Amazing grip
Can you give as a link where to get that tool you use to open package
Skill has a nyekso screwdriver with cutter attachment to search Amazon Worx also has a knockoff cutter like it
I have never gotten way flathead have the squar box shaft. Never had to use a wrinch with a flat head I try not to use flat heads at all. Quinn reminded me of old Kline screwdrivers
Where did you get the driver ????????
We buy the #2 Phillips in the loose bin by the hand full.
i will say the bump on the handle is where a rivet or pin is holding the shaft to the handle and the shaft does not go the entire length of the handle
Id like to see some Stanley 100 Plus, Stanley Handyman and Craftsman screwdriver set reviews.
I'll add it to the list
A wrench can be used on the square shanks of the Quinn for more leverage.
You can also stick another screwdriver in the handle hole to make it a pseudo T wrench
Honest question, does anyone actually need more leverage on a screwdriver?
Sometimes yes! If there is a rusted screw that you can’t budge the extra leverage will help.
The mini flatbread is longer so you can use it as a mini pry bar I think.
The Quinn brand looks very similar to the kobalt brand along with the sockets.
Mark Kobza it is the same ive compared there tools side by side. Even the screw drivers are the same just the handle is a tad diffrent same shape wight everything
I seen video that the bolstered ones are not full tang...
Yes I just learned that what a shame
Just bought them, twisted the end off and broke the tips
I've asked HF if the Quinn tool line will be tiered above or below the Pittsburgh/Pittsburgh Pro tool line. I wasn't given a definite answer.
Because no one at HF knows, they rarely do.
The Quinn pliers are way better than the Pittsburgh branded ones for sure. On par with Channel Lock. Maybe its the same with the screw drivers. The Doyle branded are even better.
chuck miller I ended up buying the Pittsburgh 2-piece, 11” long reach needle nose pliers set. Quinn or Doyle didn’t offer any in that length yet. Maybe some day in the future. I asked a store clerk if Quinn it Doyle was going to make their needle nose pliers in that length. Again, the answer was, “I don’t know”.
I see some people say its a problem and u should take the flatheads back. Truthfully if u think about it flathead screws dont work well with holding screws or at least thats been my experience. Thanks for the vid.
I wish HF would sell screwdriver, wrenches, sockets etc. individually. I have lots of screwdriver, I may just need just one of a certain type.
I always thought the bump was somyou know if your getting a full turn if you can't see what you're doing
I'd have to agree... The Pittsburgh Pro's are nicer. . The round Shank is easier to get into some areas where the fastener is in a blind hole and usually down in.... the round shank tends to not have a problem with that...whereas the square shank will just have too much meat to get down in the hole....but the Quinns would be good for prying and poking where the Pittsburgh Pros would probably bend.......
I agree with your comment
You are not supposed to use screwdrivers as pry bars.
Yes, I know, nearly everyone does. Even I do - sort of. I have two flat tips that I rounded the corners off to use as dedicated pry bars.
The Quinn package is made like that because it is so large. If it weren't fastened in the middle areas the product would be loose inside. It would act more like a bag than a flat container.
Yes I understand the center lugs it's just that the thickness of the plastic is very high. If they made a pinata out of the same grade and thickness of plastic that the Quinn screwdrivers were in it would take Hercules to knock it open.
I HATE those type of packages. You'd think they were wrapping medical quarantined body parts for goodness sakes.
Good review BTW.
Subscribed.
Thank you
From what I see, the Pittsburgh pro screwdrivers are the same design as Roadpro, the brand of tools from certain truck stops. Probably same manufacturer, but just my observation
As an electrician, I prefer to use magnetic screwdrivers.
I tried cutting a Pitsburgh screw driver with an reciprocating saw. 5 minutes and hardly made a scratch.
I was debating watching a long video on screwdrivers but I'm glad I did. I normally just get their free black ones with a coupon since I hardly use them. So I have a few laying around but I really like that different colors they are using for their Phillips and their flat heads. Never thought about that but man that will save time when you need to grab the right one. I'm really liking that on the sockets and wrenches as well. I don't know how many times I've had to pull out a couple screwdrivers and put them back because it was the wrong one. Not a huge deal but that coloring just makes sense.
Yes it does and some people commented that you just need to look at what you're grabbing but identifying something by color is faster and more direct than that staring at the shapes of the ends of pieces of metal
During the zombie apocalypse when the power is out all they can do is stare at these sets in awe with absolutely no hope of extracting them from the package! I only use the best screwdrivers I can afford, I have been bitten by cheaper ones too many times. Great review. My wife bought me a ratcheting screwdriver with bits for Christmas from Walmart. I can't remember the brand but the handle is identical to the Pittsburgh pro ones, HF doesn't offer it. It came with a 15/64's socket (??!!). Its built like a Stanley but isn't.
Hey I'm new to this craftsmanship stuff and should I get DeWalt drill or Milwaukee drill
@@AlejandroP1980s Nothing like starting a NEVER ENDING argument! 😉 Pick one ....... neither is a bad choice. If you are already vested in either brand with one of their other tools, stick with one battery platform, IMHO. Why have 2, 3, 4 or 5 different battery platforms? I could never figure out why anyone would do that.
@@whatsapoop never ending discussion it always ends
@@AlejandroP1980s Dewalt, so that when you end up getting their 60v stuff you can use the larger batteries on the 20v stuff.
I have a mixture of both in corded it depends on the specific drill half inch pistol grip drills I like the dewalt's for larger drills like right angle 1/2 inch I like Milwaukee and dewalt, 4 cordless I like the three speed on a DeWalt I wish Milwaukee had it 3 speed cordless
At first i thought you were right about HF screwdriver selection, then you showed us your collection. You should have bought a bigger box not more screwdrivers
If you want to try some decent quality tri-lobed screwdrivers at an affordable price point, try the made in USA Tektons.
Thanks
...I wish they made/offered some professional screwdrivers with the hard square handles, like the old Mac and Snap-On ones. I have issues with cushion-grips turning to mush, somewhat with normal oily mechanic work, but especially with compressor oil getting on them from heating/air demolition work. I have the same issue with the rubber overmolding on power tools, don't like the overmolded locking pliers grips either. Someone needs to recognize their is a need/market for hand tools and power tools that do not have rubber overmolding...and yes, they are not just getting dirty or need cleaning, they are actually turning to mush...you should see the overmolding on my cordless power tools....
MAC offers their newer screwdrivers in a hard chemical resistant handle. The Proto equivalent is very reasonably priced on Amazon with a whole 19pc set costing about $175. They call their chemical resistant handles "Duratek" It is a quad lobed design with no cushioning though in a picture it looks like a comfort grip.
Look on eBay at a brand called Booher. They are 1000v insulated, but I think you'll love the handles.
..just don't get it...I do keep rags around...doing this work, oil is ALWAYS around...and it will inevitably get all over your hands and tools, no matter what...and, even if you wipe them off continuously, the oil soaks in, and the rubber overmold deteriorates...bottom line, they need to make power tools without overmold for those who dot need/want it. My old Dewalt and Makita did not have overmold, and they were plenty comfortable and ergonomic...and would clean up nicely after use....@TheOtherWhiteBread0
Im an old soul in a young body but I still love the feeling of an old style handle tool rather than the new stuff with comfort grips, they just feel more solid without the grips
...well said...and I might add, I buy hand tools expecting them to last a lifetime, and be handed down to my kids...wonder what kind of condition all that soft plastic and rubber overmold will be in 50-75 years?.....@@dnzgarage
Thats not the Pittsburgh Pro set, the pro set has square blue hard handles with Nuts on the bottom of the handles. They are in fact a 10pc set and cost more than the ones you show here.
read the package
Learn to read!!!!!
I have no patience for blister packaging. In fact, this is one benefit of buying online from quality sources like Wilde, Witte, or Pb Swiss!
Go away, sleaze
Good Review . I Was Thinking of Trying Their Screwdrivers Thanks for the Review .The #3 Philips Usually isn't In the Cheaper or Smaller Sets . Duralast (Autozone) Makes A Really Nice Hex Shank Screwdriver Set . I Bought The #3 Philips From Autozone to Complete my Husky Set. They Make A Great Screwdriver Set As Well .
Screwdrivers are the most common hand tool and there is a huge variety available in the world today
The Quinn looks like it didn't include stubbies - for tight places that can be a big deal.
Yes no Stubby's they have a couple of small screwdrivers but I'm surprised about that Omission as well
Lol good idea for packaging , I use tin snips
Thanks
These are cool but I find it so hard these days to spend money on a set when I can have a MegaPro. Just like the Glock of screwdrivers! They make locking extensions also.
I work on motorcycles, there is carburetors/ throttle bodies that are buried very deep inside the frame, unless we don't use a screwdriver with at least 15" of length we can not unscrew those bolts/screws. Sometimes you need a long and big flat screwdriver like the biggest one from the Quinn set to pry something. As well, there are some early 2000's sports bikes bolt with BIG flat screwdriver heads. Maybe for a house, or little maintenance a bit changing screwdriver will definitely work, but for proffesional use i limited specially on lenght and prying. Hope this hive you some helpful information.
Pry apart the top of the Quinn package and the drivers will fall out handle first. Repeat with the bottom. Discard the two smallest drivers. All te QUinn tools are oiled because they rust. They are polished, not chrome-plated.
They are packaged in this way so the product does not get stolen from the store. Alot of things get packaged like this.
I can understand that thinking however at Harbor Freight almost no items are packaged quiet as sturdily as these
How far do the shanks extend into the plastic? How can you review a product without a complete teardown?
Where is the QUINN screwdrives made?
@Defdakilla41 CHINA I guess not 100% sure - is that correct?
Yes china
Everything Harbor freight = China.
@@tunyungthey have some products made in the USA and Taiwan
Nice vid thanks. You got more screw drivers than HF. 😂
cool
To sum up; you need colors to tell which type of screwdriver you have. You don’t understand that Pittsburgh and Quinn are actually two different brands and manufacturers within the HF family, as evidenced by your shock that they are not uniform in every detail. You don’t seem to understand that when you pick some random, crappy screw, it may, in fact not match the angle and pitch of the screwdriver bit, thus “wobbling “. How is that not YOUR fault for choosing the mismatch, instead of the inanimate screwdriver? Oil on the shanks, as pointed out by others, is moisture protective for shipping purposes. You made other odd comments and comparisons, but you get the point. Weird review.
This review sounded oddly familiar
They do have too many to choose from.. I changed my mind and will probably end up buying craftsman instead
a magnetizer/demagnetizer costs like 2 bucks, there is no need to consider magnetic or not, you can add or remove it yourself
Ik.. It's probably just me..but i do not like square shaft screw drivers.. All ive had we're cheap and twists
It's confusing but I believe those aren't Pittsburgh Pro screwdrivers. Those are normal Pittsburgh screwdrivers that have "Professional Screwdriver Set" in their description, not name. The "pro" line is distinctly different than the non-Pro line (example pro impact sockets are Chrome Moly instead of Chrome Vanadium) See item #61412 for screwdrivers with Pittsburgh Pro in the name.
I blame Harbor Freight for that confusion
You are confused. Not the content creator.
A faux diamond plate texture? You mean to tell me that isn't real diamond plate? disappointing.
Would be amazing to have screwdrivers with genuine metal diamond plate
That bulletproof material is made for Faith's
Ok give me the name of this thing you opened the package with
SKIL 2352-01 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Multi-Cutter that is the older model which is actually better than the new one.
put that plastic packaging in the door panels of your car and BOOM... bulletproof car.
:)
One staff said the Quinn brand was gonna be a replacement for the Pittsburg.
I still prefer bit drivers
Yes hex bit screwdrivers are nice because you always have fresh tips. They just don't fit in recessed holes for many repairs
I saw a finger print from a small child on the Phillips head as he removed it from the package. Probably from the kid who packed it.
I like Harbor freight hand tools and i can tell you their screwdrivers are not one of them.
Hey I'm new to this should I shop at hf or hd or Lowe's or northern tools
John, I see Harbor freight like a place were your tight on cash and need to finish a project. Lowe's and other big box stores have better quality tools but cost more. I would buy there rachets and sockets at Harbor freight but would stay away from there power tools. its a hit or miss type of store.
@@AlejandroP1980s New to Screwdrivers?
Harbor Freight has really stepped up their game. The sets featured here are way better than many of the older ones. I've had that 8pc set for about a decade and haven't even stripped the #2 Phillips. (And if I did need to replace it it's open-stock for all of $1.50. It grips just as well as my Snap-On #2.
Even the cheaper sets have gotten better, with better alloys used even in the older designs.
@@falconater68 no new to tools in general
were can i get that tool you open da package with??
Skill has a IXO screwdriver with cutter and worx also has a mini cutter
Catus Maximus thanks
Yeah, I got sick of having to warranty cheap ass screwdrivers, I said fuck it and got the Snap-On 12pc screwdriver kit.
That set with the bolters are complete crap they arent pressed in well and glued in with elmers, they break in the first first of being stuck or a wrench applied. Great video as usual! I wish they had a #3 that Pittsburgh set looks REALLY nice actually
Thank you I didn't realize the bolstered screwdrivers were fake and don't have a steel through Shank
The hex bolstered screwdrivers are a DO NOT BUY. I'm going to do an exposee on them, the hex heads ARE NOT connected to the internal shaft, they should be but they did not do it right. I'll show you the internals on my channel soon. Wanted to wait until I get to the resolution of fixing them. As far as flat and phillips, I STILL haven't worn out my western forge craftsman in 20 years, but that may be a side effect of using them correctly.
I prefer Husky screwdrivers over these..
I have the Quinn, I really like them
How are they holding up?
I own some snap-on,mac,Matco and cornwell screw drivers and always go for my vessel first
Noted I haven't tried the vessels yet I also like credo screwdrivers
@Lo Kim : Plus, you can use JIS on Phillips fasteners. You shouldn't use Phillips on JIS fasteners.
The packaging is a test. If you cut yourself, just return the item because you don't deserve it.
These packaging are hazardous no doubt. But they do secure things nicely. A trade off.
Quinn is the same as kabolt compare them
