Craftsman 5 pc. Screwdriver Set $8 at Sears

If you are a home user (vs. a mechanic)and need screwdrivers, get these. If one ever breaks - ever - go to your local Sears and they will hand you a new one. How can you beat that?

Buy a set whenever Menard's has them free after rebate. Then when you break one, you have another one already in the garage.

You know, I've been using tools for over 40 years now, maintaining small and big engines, and I've *never* broken a *screwdriver*. Are you guys prying up nails or paint can lids or something?

#3 You must be using good screw drivers. I received a set of many screw drivers (gife for $10) and the philip tip broke into half when I use force turning a screw! This is still better then the super cheap ones that round off the tip and screw head at the same time.

#3, I have Craftsman screwdrivers over 30 years old that are still in good condition, but those I've bought in the past 10 to 15 years do not hold up nearly as well.

They have switched to some kind of alloy with a fair amount of zinc in it that is far brittler (presumably to keep them looking prettier on the shelf instead of rusting without having been oiled), it will literally snap the head right off if you put too much torque on it and I mean used as intended, screwing a screw not using it as a pry bar or anything. They still rust too, but it's white zinc rust instead of red. Woohoo for progress. Very pretty broken screwdriver clone.

Thanks t6his is just I needed

I have broken screwdrivers, but 99% of the time I was using them in a a way unintended by the manufacturer. Regardless, Craftsman tools do still have a lifetime warranty...of course, so do my Snap-on and Matco tools.
