He gets an E for effort. He will beat them up before he gets to do any hot work. I used the Kobalt cheapo 1000v Screwdrivers for a while. They were cheaper than one Klien that was wearing out every few weeks.

Most tools in Harbour Freight are really cheap, but my local HF carries P&S screwdrivers. I've bought 4 of them individually, and they're great.
