Need a good quality set. Was using one tonight that rounded. I hate cheap tools more than my x wife. Please recommend a good full range set

Just ran across this video. Probably more than you ever wanted to know, but he does some interesting tests and comparisons.


FWIW,

I was about to link that video too. I'm also a fan of most Bahco stuff. Wiha, Gedore and Stahlwille are also good.

Interesting vid. However, it's unfortunate that YouTube testers cant use proper equipment or protocols. For example, the first step in checking any screwdriver bit is to check the geometry with a gage. Torx gages are very expensive and have to be purchased from Acument approved sources. Can't use a screw head as a gage.

I wish people would say "pound inch" for torque not "inch pound" there is a difference. Working in industries that deal with torque I still can't get people to say it right. Sorry, just a pet peeve.
