Re: Manual Screw Drivers

Hi Gents,

I’m a newbie on this wonderful site, and its such a great site.

I wonder if you ever encountered or come across some mold-like white powdery substance on rubberized tool handles like those on pliers, hammers, even some screwdrivers, etc.,
These are seen on tools that I put away in storage or not in-use for some time, I’m trying to figure out but cant’t seem to find any pattern to why its happening on some tools, and not on others.. Will appreciate any info how to stop them from forming.

Thanks, keep up the great work!

I encounter this too and usually I just wipe the tools with WD-40 to prevent it.

Re: Manual Screw Drivers

the ordinary screwdrivers nowadays are black tipped but its just paint

the real ones though
black - magnetic tipped
gold - extreme torque

correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure about the black one though

depends what brand you are referring to?
not all black tips are magnetic nor hardened nor painted....
not all gold tips are for extreme torque nor are they not just painted...

Re: Manual Screw Drivers

Anybody have seen PlusMinus screwdrivers or bits locally?

Looks something like this. ( Number 108 )

Re: Manual Screw Drivers

Hi JayL =).

I wonder how Rubicon stacks up to the well regarded Wihas. In my limited experience I think they're good enough/value for money amongst the locally available brands. But is there quality inconsistency? Hmmm..

2 abused rubicons. Left one has folded edges (caused by using it with a hammer) which means they temper it to the soft side of things. But then, I used the one on the right on a rusted, stuck screw and it snapped like glass which means it was too hard and thus brittle. Hmmm... I dunno what to make of it.

To other guys, what i do know is that daiken, lotus, and especially black and decker do not make good bits/screwdrivers. It's a diiferent feeling when using bits by bosch and CRC, there is no slop and it fits perfectly so it never cams-out.

Re: Manual Screw Drivers

The guys at Garage Journal seem to favor these brands for manual screwdrivers but not necessarily in this order.

Snap On ( USA )
JH Williams ( USA )
Wiha ( Germany )
Wera (Germany )
Witte ( Germany )
Felo (Germany )
PB Swiss ( Switzerland )
Koken ( Japan )

Aside from the brands there are lots of models and makes from each manufacturer. Stainless, Chrome Vanadium shanks and tips ect... Soft Grips, Hard Handles etc.. Red, green, blue, black for handle colors etccc... you name it

If money is not a concern I'd get these and be done with.

Re: Manual Screw Drivers

Jay, I did manage to locate the Wera laser tip screwdrivers in HK, they sell for 500HK in two stores only...

Re: Manual Screw Drivers

If it's the same kit here then it's a lot cheaper in the US.

Maye what you saw for 500 HK was the stainless version which is much more expensive.
