    Tool Search-Screwdriver

    I am searching for a set of screwdrivers I once saw that have at the end of their plastic handles, a separate plastic piece that is free to rotate with your palm so that you don't get a blister.
    The name might have been something like "amalite".

    Does anyone have these or know who makes them and where they are sold?

    A lot of jewelers screwdrivers and mini-mirco tool screwdrivers have this feature.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        I know about the small jewelers screw drivers & micro, and I am aware of the ratchet type, but these were regular assorted sizes in both standard and phillips head.

            Try these guys: http://www.wihatools.com/

            I have a 10 year old set of Wiha phillips tip screwdrivers (#2 - #00) that see daily use, and the tips look exactly the same as the day I bought them.

              For smaller screws the Husky kit they sell at HD (one for slotted/Phillips and another for Torx) work pretty well.
