Do You Have A Screwdriver?

[sparkeyjames]

One full set of Craftsman screwdrivers (red/blue) given to me by my father on my 17th birthday. Parts of two other sets of cheapos I bought so I didn't totally destroy the Craftsman set while doing crazy things with them. Many many other acquired screwdrivers of various makes and head types. 4 sets of mini watch type screwdriver sets in the blue/clear plastic cases. Handles for using standard and special bit head replaceable driver tips by hand instead of with the electric driver and at least 100 different standard and special tips for that and the electric drivers. One set of mini tips and extendable handle and attachable flex shaft for use with computer equipment (harbor freight).

I just wish I was better at keeping them all in one place. I usually end up doing a screwdriver and tool round up once a month or when I get pissed about not being able to find one of them.

I have a full set of Channel Lock screwdrivers that I bought from Menards when they were a special buy for $20 (even came with a Channel Lock bottle opener!).

I also have a Husky clear handle set I bought years ago.

Recently, I bought two Husky sets that were on sale. Red and black handled- one was a general set the other a high torque/ T handle set.

Then I have lots of miscellaneous Stanely, Tool Shop, Harbor Freight, Great Neck, and Craftsman screwdrivers. Add to that a couple no-name multi-tip ones.. a total of 4 of those.

But my favorite screwdriver is one I bought from Lowes on clearance for $8 or so I think:

It's the best screwdriver I've bought. Durable, and it has so many functions. The nut driver part is incredibly useful. I've taken apart refridgerators that have multiple nut sizes with just this one driver. It's definitely super star in my toolbelt.

For me, these are broken out into basic sets for a large rolling tool chest I have, a smaller basic tool carrier, a set on the shop wall for in-shop use, a set in the house for in-house use, and then the rest are in a drawer in my tool chest.

Mine are mostly mismatched pieces I picked up at flea markets and garage sales. I have a matched set that I think is from Harbor Freight with rubber grips that are nice enough but infrequently used since I discovered powered screwdrivers. I have a couple of 2.4 volt cheapies from Orchard Supply, four Craftsman 19.2 volt drill drivers, a Craftsman impact driver, two B&D 12 volt drill drivers, and a couple of old 9.6 volt Makitas. I also have a set of precision screwdrivers. Now that I know HF has small prybars, I'm going to find a set for removing staples from scrapwood. could have used on a few days ago when I was getting staples out of a piece of flooring.

I have a couple of Craftsman screwdrivers for the kit I carry in the airplane.

The chucks on the Craftsman drivers are not very good, but the driver itself is excellent. Batteries last a long time and they have plenty of power. The best part is that Orchard Supply periodically has them on sale, so I buy one a year for less than the price of a new battery.

You NEVER use screwdrivers for prying, do you?

I do. With these!

Way too many to count—I inherited my father's two rolling toolboxes with four drawers full of screwdrivers, mostly Snap-On, Mac, and Craftsman, including those huge screwdrivers with the two-piece wooden handle which are actually pry bars thinly disguised as screwdrivers.

Oh, and two sets of really tiny flat and Phillips screwdrivers.

I have a drawer full of "magic" screwdrivers. If I am looking for a phillips head, they all change to flat. If I am looking for a flat head, they all become phillips!
