I am new to the trade and am in need of some linemans and screwdriver set. I have a budget of 50bucks.

 

[Hippie]

get the basic klien linesmans and the rest should get you a decent 1/4 flathead and #2 phillips.. id just get the lowes/hd brand screwdrivers theyre good enough to start with

 

[Vintage Sounds]

For that budget Channellock 369 linemans and some average Home Depot or Dewalt screwdrivers will leave you with money left over for another useful basic tool like a pair of wire strippers or a level.

This ^^^

Channellock is good for the price.

Channellock 369s are the bees knees. Get a Klein 11n1 and you got most you need. Cheap enough to pick up an Channellock 908 wire strippers too. :thumbsup:

:thumbup:

I have Klein write strippers and dikes. I had a pair of 12 husky line mans but were stolen out of my bag Friday. I do have a deadly screw driver set buy it feels so cheap.

I was looking at a pair of greenlees for 22 bucks at Sears.

Dewalt set....not deadly

I like the Channelock/Ideal pliers.

This is the best deal hands down. If you already have strippers and ***** you can barter with some of your coworkers for other tools or just keep them as spares.

Nah man that set totally sucks.

It's like it's an ultra cheap knockoff set.. I bought it to have some back up tools and I chipped the ***** the first time I went to use them. wtf! I have a picture on my computer somewhere.

It's not the usual crap klein quality we complain, this is UBER CRAP!

 

[FrunkSlammer]

Pretty sure that was a drywall screw.. can't even cut a drywall screw? I have used my Ideal Tools ***** on EVERYTHING. They can either cut it or not cut it, but they don't chip!

Get the kleins. I've been carrying them for 14 years solid and never an issue with any style ever.

I just picked up the 369's, greenlee 9 in 1, and a craftsmen utility knife at Sears for a total of 35 bucks. Thanks for the suggestions

 

[Vintage Sounds]

Nicely done.

Nice pick on the channelocks. I'd pick those before ideal any day.

Its has the same part numbers as the individual tools. If they chipped then take them back and swap them for a new pair.
