Although I have over 50 screwdrivers. I brought a set of craftmen(5) for under 10 bucks. Also, if it breaks, you can go to Sears and get a replacement.

Way back when I graduated high school, my cousins gave me an intro tool kit which included some cheapo drivers that I used occasionally. Most of those drivers survived and now live in my car for non-essential tasks such as removing license plate screws. Would I use these as my everyday drivers? Most certainly not. But if I were compiling an introductory tool kit for someone or putting together another cheapo trunk kit, this is the kind of set I'd opt for. Cheap screwdrivers do have their purposes.

I keep some around, to lend to people……. they don’t often ask to borrow tools again.

As a former user of cheap screwdrivers.... they ain't worth it. I'm getting too old to fool around with cheap stuff that might work or might end up injuring me... What these guys said.

I've had the lot'sa screwdrivers for a few bucks bug before. I think I'll just use them around the house; they don't need to be good quality. Its amazing how little torque it takes the twist the blade of a cheap screwdriver or round out a phillips screwdriver. Not only that, but cheapo phillips sometimes come with a pointy tip. I don't know in what universe this actually works, but I've had to grind the point off the phillips to get the tip to seat in the screw head. My favorite is when a company paints the head of the bit, to make it look like it's a different material. Cough... Pittsburg Cough... I have to agree with koba on the cheap screwdriver thing.

Better yet, take 20 and get a similar set elsewhere that was made in America, has a lifetime warranty, and is made well enough that living with them for a lifetime seems bearable.
