It's time I purchased a nice set of screwdrivers for the ol' workbench.
I frequently see large collections of 'em at Costco, but I'm wondering
whether I should go someplace like Sears or Home Depot and pick up a
quality set of a well-known brand? Is a screwdriver a screwdriver, or
are there superior products to be had?

Snap-On is the only way to go for phillips screwdrivers. Everything
else is a chisel or paint stirrer. Otherwise I'm a big fan of
Craftsman tools.

....and the Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver is fantastic.

About 15 years ago I took a Phillips Craftsman back to Sears and got
into a shouting match with the clerk as he didn't think the chewed up
tip was bad enough to warrant exchange.

I was in a Sears in Cleveland Tenn. about 30 years ago. I had a 25 ft
tape with the tape broken. The clerk said that the tape was not
covered under the warranty.

I took the tape outside and threw it at the ground hard enough to break
the case. I took it back inside and handed it to the same clerk. He
swapped it for a new one without saying a thing about what happened.

I quit buying Craftsman when they came out with a Sears brand. They
would replace tin snips with the Sear's brand which did not have a
life time warranty.
