Screwdrivers Reviews

These are very weak quality screwdrivers. You may expect a quality product from a company like Stanley but, thats not what you will receive. These drivers will bend like a gymnist with the slightest pressure.

I do a lot of machine shop work therefore I have used many kinds of screw drivers. This set is value priced (ie. cheaper). For occasional home use (ie. once every 6 months or so), it is ok. If you use screw drivers more frequently than this, I suggest you look else where. First, the grips/handles are not good when applying lots of torque. They are made of smooth plastic and doesn't provide a lot of friction. I often found my hands slipping when applying lots of force. Second, the shafts are round, not rectangular/square, which means when the application is really tough, you cannot use a wrench as auxilliary handle for more torque. Thirdly, the screw drivers wear out fast. Especially the phillips (+ shaped). But I am sort of rough on tools, so the above opinions may not apply to you.

I didn't received the complete set .The handle was missing .The whole product is a useless without the handle.

I discovered the Barbara K line of tools right before Christmas, so I put them all on my wish list. I received the craft kit and I was really excited...until I opened the box. The tools feel really lightweight and poorly made (lots of grey plastic on everything). Further inspection confirmed my suspicion that these are cheap tools at a not-so-cheap price.

Normally I can dismiss high-priced junk. What bothers me this time is that Barbara K is attempting to empower women through these tool sets. If women can handle doing their own repairs and projects around the house, then they deserve real tools, not glorified kiddie tools. I'm returning my craft kit and using the money to buy myself some nice matching tools instead.

This bit is ridiculously high. I have seen these for like $3.00. I think it should come with a cordless kit for this price. Save your money and buy one somewhere else. You could save over $220 buckolas.

I am a building contractor for over 20 years, and I've been looking for a quality blade that does not burnout or warp so quickly. So I purchased a few of these Freud blades, and once again I have been let down. My company purchases over 30,000 blades a year, and we have yet to find a blade that gives us the durability, consistency and reliability that a 200 homes per year builder demands. The only blades that have come close is the Oldham blades, but they still need some fine tuning. Overall, builders need a smoother blade that does not heat up as fast. All saw blade manufacturers try to coat the sides of blades in some form or another. All the coatings fly right off within the first 2 minutes of cutting. Does anyone manufacture a smooth blade. If so please contact me. I will purchase volume (as I'm sure any contractor would do with such a product)

As a Phillips Screw Driver, this tool is a dismal failure.
Truely, it should live up to it's good breeding, and get
back over to the flat blade side of the tool box

I ordered back in Januayr and it has been postponed 3 times now. Not sure if I will ever get it.

The Wila Ergonomic Slotted/Phillips Screw Divers are of poor quality and are way over priced. Get some made in China for under $5.00
