Hello All,

Posting my first thread here to get everyone's opinion on insulated screwdriver brands.

So far I have seen that people are pretty positive about:
Klein (obviously)
Milwaukee
Wera Kraftform

My co-worker has Kobalt ones he bought at Lowes, he seems to like them but I have heard some negative comments about them.

So my question is what is your favorite brand/screwdriver? I am considering Klein, but I would like to get some other opinions before buying.

Thanks,

~Jordan

Also heard good things about them. Decisions decisions.

Buy one of each, and decide for yourself.......

Klein set here...

If your getting em for just occasionally working hot; wera makes a nice space saving set with a pouch. 1 handle and a bunch of drivers. I don't think it would be ideal if all your work is done hot though.

Yeah I was looking at those, comes with a little case too. I'm just looking for a decent set to use energized occasionally not daily.

Same boat, tired of working hot 480 panels with reg Klein's.

You work in live 480 panels regularly? Just another way to be a team player right? Just like using your own battery tools

What's wrong with using your own battery tools? I use my own drill and impact. Company provides power tools per truck but they are old and hardly function. They so replace my tools and batteries if anything ever happens to my stuff.

People can justify using their own tools on the job if they want. But no one can justify hot work just to make the boss happy

Ah ok I see what your saying.

Wiha or Felo, its hard plastic not a rubber condom.

Anything but Klein. I use the Wera ones for everyday screwdrivers. It's just what was available at the time. Have held up great after 2 years.

I get plug in tools first of all. And occasionally 480, 208 more common. Never said I liked it, but part of the job sometimes.

And may I ask that a disagreement between us in another unrelated thread not spill into every thread I post in.
