View Full Version : Fun With Screwdrivers

Well... I've decided that I need to keep a set of screwdrivers in my room, just because (and the fact that me keeping both the set of ancient but small and very useful screwdrivers and the power screwdriver in here has finally driven my dad insane).

So I went to Home Depot. I wanted a set of somewhat small screwdrivers with both Phillips and slot heads in a few different sizes, but I didn't need, say, the foot long slot screwdrivers or the foot long giant Phillips head ones. And, they need to have a case. So, I look all over at Home Depot... nothing. I go to Radio Shack... nothing. I go to Target... nothing. I go to Lowe's... nothing.

If I can find the digital camera, I'll post a picture of the screwdrivers I've been using all my life (they're about 35 years old... ROFL) because they are PERFECT. The only problem is that they're old, the plastic is chipping which can make them quite uncomfortable, and they smell absolutely horrendous.

So, if anybody has ANY ideas, I'd love to hear them. Especially if you can buy it online for less than $30. :p

Craftsman makes a great precision screw driver set that I swear by. Check it out here (http://www.sears.com/sr/product/summary/productsummary.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@2050164175.104 4225745@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccjeadchgmhmkhicehgcemgdffmdflk.0&vertical=TOOL&fromAuto=YES&bidsite=CRAFT&pid=00941520000).

I've also found this set of 19 incredibly (http://www.sears.com/sr/product/summary/productsummary.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@2050164175.104 4225745@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccjeadchgmhmkhicehgcemgdffmdflk.0&vertical=TOOL&fromAuto=YES&bidsite=CRAFT&pid=00947037000) usefull. Both these and the precisions are in my little bag next to my computer desk.

And for bonus, Craftsman hand tools have an unlimited lifetime guarantee. Broken? Bring it back.
