I've already talked to one of Stanley's engineers in Sheffield, England about the fact that there is play in the handles. The plastic handles don't seem to have a very good positive fit over the screwdriver shanks. An alternative would be the Mayhew Cat's Paw screwdrivers. Those demo drivers…. be careful.

Linked my name to Maddox's site this time, who pretty much says what there is to say about X-treme anything. That being said, this looks like a decent tool. At least, if the blade doesn't bend the first time you use it. $15 for 2 seems a bit "X-treme" though, wouldn't you say? Seriously, boycott X-products. (Hint: In english, the word "extreme" starts with an E.) Ditto the Stanley experience, with extra bile thrown in for the “X”-marketing.

I had a ratchet screwdriver that broke not long after I got it. Kinda stayed away from them since then. Maybe I could get it replaced under warranty, but I haven't taken the time.
