Forge Steel screwdrivers @ Screwfix

Post by Dickie »

I bought more screwdrivers in SF today & always think they're great quality for the money;
http://m.screwfix.com/p/forge-steel-scr ... eces/4249c

Been using these screwdrivers for a couple of years now & while they're not a patch on Wera etc. They certainly are quality!! Granted with screw guns doing most driving these days they don't get a lot of use. So if anyone is thinking of investing in a set, they are worth considering..... :thumbright:

Hi,

Thanks Dickie for the information. :salute:

I just clicked on the link you kindly supplied and the message below popped up; it's becoming increasing difficult these days to view what I want to view?

Kind regards, Col.

Hi, thats come up because the original link is to the mobile version of their site not the normal one

If you change the link to http://www.screwfix.com/p/forge-steel-s ... eces/4249c (www. instead of m.)

then it will not appear.

Regards
Ian

Hi,

Thanks for asking Argyll; I use Google Chrome.

Thanks Ian for updating the link; I didn't have a problem as such because Screwfix is easy to access but many times I want to view something and have to clear a message first; YouTube in particular is now good at showing me messages and I use YouTube a great deal?

Kind regards, Col.

A side note, tool station are doing a deal on a set of wera screwdrivers at the moment, not quite as many as the set above but still a pretty good price. Sorry not got a link as it was on display behind the counter rather than seeing it online

Hi,

I've just visited our new Toolstation store in Huddersfield for the first time needing a new 6" pendant set at £2.98 so came away £34 lighter. :lol: :lol: :lol:

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p12615?table=no

I saw the Wera screwdriver sets you mentioned CR and I bought a set; I'll see how I get on with these because I've got lots of cheaper screwdrivers which wear out extremely quickly. These days most of my screws are sunk using my cordless Makita drill/driver.

The new store is a bit too near Huddersfield Town centre for my liking; had the store been in town I wouldn't have visited. Limited parking outside the store but two free spaces so no complaints; the store was spotlessly clean and the staff very pleasant and obliging. I'll be a regular customer in future.

I've not fallen out with Screwfix in fact Screwfix used to be my favourite store a few years ago until the prices started to rise to the point it now pays to shop around a lot more.

Job after dinner is to fit the new pendant and shade; I think I might manage this OK? :thumbleft:

Kind regards, Col.

We are lucky down here, several screwfix stores in the area, all with good parking even the town centre store. Also nearly all have a toolstation next door or just a few doors away so you can do direct price checking and get a free cuppa in toolstation while you play them off against each other :lol:

I used to use wera screwdrivers after going through pozi 2 Stanley like they were made of chocolate even had a rep look at them and they just replaced them but of recent times I have been using halfords screwdrivers and have had the same screwdriver for over 2 years and use it a lot there are certain jobs where I can't use a impact or don't want to.
Halfords offer a life time warranty on there advanced tools
I'm lucky where I live screwfix, toolstation, buck and Hickman , travis Perkins halfords and home base all in 1 min of each other then b and q nad Cromwell tools (used for specialised gear ) 5 mins drive. We also have an account with a local tool company who will deliver 1 box of screw at no extra cost as we use them a lot.
