I wanted two matching 2mm jewellery screwdrivers with 35mm+ blades. To release VAG ignition switches - been using 2mm drill bits - but have been afraid of breaking brittle tiny drills down a hole. I bought these ex eBay - super quality - right price! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Facom-AR...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Really rate Facom stuff...
Ive got a mini set of Kennedy which are ok for the price and a set of bigger dentist picks - neither bend but doubt there anywhere near snap on quality per previous, don't use them enough so can't justify paying that much. That is a good price. Tired with crap bendy jewellers screwdrivers I bought this set cheap kennedy set, been ok so far https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kennedy-...491310&hash=item1aa6b65469:g:Vq4AAOSwOQ9fiYCF
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eclipse-...334907?hash=item56cff82a3b:g:VY8AAOSww0Zd3noq I buy sets of these for automotive ECU repairs. I like the little plastic stand on my bench. They sell a chrome version for £30 - I can live with black for £15 What I like about these is - they have a taper on the blade which adds strength. I have loads of little screwdrivers - from high priced Bergeon/Bernstein watchmakers ones - to ones from cheap phone repair kits - they all have uses! I have a big WITTE set of odd ones - this is the "go to set" for triangle - square tip sizes.
Facom is good stuff. I have a lot of their screwdrivers. Few of them are pretty old and they aren’t really worn. used to be able to get it from Halfords but not sure what happened there. I went on holiday to Europe a few years back and brought quite a bit back from a hardware shop in Belgium
I think the mac tool set is the same as snap on, I prefer the hard handle ones.Might be on ebay for a slightly better than van price.Again the wiggly one is in most use.
My favourite pick is actually a Kennedy mini screwdriver with a bent end. I buy loads of them for work, at 1.50 each they're disposable.
Another vote for Snap-On from me, I had my cousin's roll cab when he was between jobs and the picks were the tool I missed most when he took it all back. Never broke or blunt one but I did manage to lose one under my lathe for a year and stab another one scary-deep into my hand.
We have a tool guy that cones by in a van, mostly off brand but hand selected from thailand tge picks were peanuts and seem to be holding up. When hes back I'll fibd out what brand they are
I’ve had this set for years: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/2723295362...MI2cCHmqCW7QIVDrvVCh0LWgASEAQYAiABEgJrBPD_BwE They have an easy life as they only see light use but they’ve held up well. Actually having said that I use the straight ones as awls occasionally and they’re still pointy!
