I have some Koken 'hammer through' drivers that have stood up to all kinds of abuse, the posi's are showing signs of wear, but they get used for philip's to.
90% of the time I use Snap-on rachet srewdrivers, I have three & TBH the newer one's arn't as good as the older ones which has only been rebuilt the once in 25 years, combine them with a decent bit set such as [url= http://www.tools4trade.com/d-4506009-Sealey-Power-Tool-Bit-Set-Colour-Coded-S2-32pc-AK2105.aspx ]these[/url] & they will see you right for a good while.
Oh & stoner, I think you need a decent tool box 😉
Bahco or Facom.

I have a filing cabinet in the office. Why would I want one in the shed? 😉
Stoner, is that a Stanley Fatmax corkscrew
Possibly. Never start work without alcohol.
My Teng ones have been good. The small flathead took offence at being ridiculously overtorqued a while back and twisted slightly but tbh, the way I was treating it I wouldn't blame it if it had snapped. Nice to handle too, grippy even when covered in grease.
+1 for Wera. Buy a set of their hex keys while you're on.
I have some facom, they're probably about 10 years old and were good until recently when the soft coating on the handle has started to dissolve. No idea what I have done to them.
Got a snap-on ratchet with the soft grip handle, it's ok but not a patch on my older snap on one with the hard handle.
To replace the facom ones I picked up a Stanley set with the yellow and black handles as they were cheap. No complaints with them so far.
Sunny D and Grants for cheapness...Smirnoff and Tropicana for a more market taste...
Takmaster from Brown Brothers, if they still do them. Quite cheap and a lifetime warranty (atleast they used to...).
Wera are very good, and used by several maintenance mechanics and electricians I know. You can get the yellow handled 'drive through', the green 'general' or red & yellow 'electrical' ones, all are well made and comfy to use. They're not as easily available as Stanley etc (easier than Facom though), but Screwfix amongst others tend to stock them. Price for the quality is reasonable.
