Ultimate Driver
« on: April 20, 2026, 02:14:33 pm »
After using trade orientated consumable medium and long hex driver bits in power tools a while I'm replacing both my workshop and mobile electronics driver setups with long hex bit sets. I'll run a few handles for backup but keep a complete security hex bit set as well as an extended VDE handled set. Still looking for an ideal mini battery power tool but my handled driver sets are looking more and more obsolete. Too much space, expense, time, not as mobile and replacing them is  painful. Discuss your thoughts below.

6 inch tip is normally the go to on majority of the screw drivers i have,  Phillips  Torx,  Allen, Torx with center hole

i have 12 inch tips  for phillips 2 and 3 heads,  same for flat heads

May Wiha  red 341 series for  box drivers, yellow (dissipative) for the electronics ...  and the isolated ones for electric panels.

many are Wiha, they are expensives,  and some may or will snap ... i screw a lot with a few phillips screw drivers, they will wear out.

The big problem is touhgness and durability, as many knows   buy cheap you get cheap  i have 30 years screw drivers who never deformed or snapped or else, haven't rusted ... their name is SONY (wood handles not even cracked) loll

And other tip / bits,  i buy them at DeWalt, i have some friend there  loll  all in HEX 1/4  at 6"  minimum lenght, and HEX 1/4 extensions  from 3" up to 12"


If you go for anti theft ones,  i use TRI-WINGS

A torque controlled  tool will help  and not abuse bits, if you know their specs

there is a new brand  called FANTIK   i use one of their hand held battery screw driver, with torque limitter between 0.5  up to 7,  we bought a few in our company,  but they are not industrial, and will fail on all week long  / production utilisation,  but once torque attained, they dont over-torque
