Seven months later
Here we are, about seven months later, and I keep getting asked about this one more than any other screwdriver I own. (I have a lot of screwdrivers — and write a lot about them.) Well, that screwdriver looked new in the photos in that review, but it now looks quite a bit different. It’s definitely dirtier and now covered in some metal particles following a grinding job.
This has put up a few fences, assembled a fair few bits of flat-packed furniture, been in the engine bays of many cars, left outside overnight a couple of times, and it might have rained on it (yeah, don’t do what I did because the manufacturer doesn’t make any claims about this being water resistant), and been used as a hammer more times than I care to say.
ZDNET’s buying advice
I can now say without any doubt that this is one tough screwdriver, on top of being powerful and having some rather innovative features. Mine has had a rough few months, but it still works like new. It doesn’t look like new, but that doesn’t matter.
