Cheap strong screwdriver set

Post by Duck_Tape »

I bought these The Range Screwdriver Set
as a screwdriver set to leave at a holiday rental property just so I would have a set on hand without needing to carry tools for basic maintenance.
I was relaying some 60cm * 60cm paving slabs at the property with the intent of cleaning up the sides to remove the mortar from the edges.
When checking the toolbox, oops no bolster chisel, Kinda dumb not to check before I know but I have a few bolster chisels in different toolboxes.
I just assumed there was one there in the box I had with me.

So I used the largest flathead driver from this set to clean up the slabs as a bolster chisel and it worked a treat.
It took a bit longer than a proper bolster, probably longer than the round trip to the merchant to get the proper tool and do the work.

But this is about the screwdriver set. The blade on the driver used as a bolster is not that worn out and will easily work as a large flat screwdriver.

I have now used this set to take off a door with a mix of Pozzi 2 screws and Philips screws and the handles are comfortable to hold
The screws for the doors had paint on them, and a smart tap with a hammer on the top of the screwdriver got the bite to get the screws turning

All said it seems a very strong well made set of screwdrivers for DIY use at a good price.
I love hard work, I could watch it all day

Tried ordering some, and their online payment system is totally screwed up! It keeps rejecting perfectly sound Paypal or credit card information. I gave up in the end.
