RoadTest: Cool Tools: 105 Piece Standard Screwdriver Set
Author: vlaine
Creation date:
Evaluation Type: Workshop Tools
Did you receive all parts the manufacturer stated would be included in the package?: True
What other parts do you consider comparable to this product?: TEKTON 2841 Everybit ($34.55 USD) or 33pc Security Bit Set ($6.29 USD) + a standard screwdriver set (approx. $15 USD)
What were the biggest problems encountered?: Not really a problem, but I did not know the name of each bit so I had to Google some of them. It would be nice to have a chart included with the set.
Detailed Review:
This screwdriver set is an incredible value for money.
It cost less than $22 CAD ($15.30 USD) and contains everything you need.
As a comparison, my current old rusty kit was purchased 20 years ago for $18.00.
Because I am always missing the bit I need, I purchased a lot of bits separately.
So my old kit plus the bits I purchased must have cost between $30 and $40.

The Duratool ratchet handle vs my old screwdriver: The Duratool fits better in the hand. It has an anti-slip finish and is well balanced |

Very nice roadtest review. That sure is a lot of bits, and you never know when you will come across one of those unique security screws, but it feels good to know that you will be ready.
