Well you obviously won't want the Red Bull Racing version of it then...?

30% extra to get different colours and a logo?http://products.wera.de/en/red_bull_racing_tools_t...
Let me think about that for a microsecond...

Did they come with the wall mounts as shown here? If you go on the wera website the 300 range seems to have more "features" than the 900. odd
I ordered a set of these the other day and they came this morning. They are delicious. Edited by thebraketester on Thursday 27th July 11:47
Ordered this set of pin punches too

I bought this set (on a good offer from memory) on buying my first house a couple of years ago and think they're excellent:

I don't doubt that Wera ones might be better quality but they're more expensive by a fair bit and the draper ones are still very solid and good quality with decent tips.

t screwdrivers that I've got in my toolbox currently is not good for the vocabulary.dickymint said:
Can't believe you guys still drive screws in manually! You'll be telling me next that an Estwing hammer is better than a Paslode 
You're having a laugh, Yeah??Horses for courses.
Estwing / Plumb - if you don't appreciate the quality and balance, buy B&Q £1.99 specials, they do the same job.
Paslode, the dog's... but not the same.

So you drive every single nail with a Paslode?

I think I might have repaired some appliances previously owned by you, every screw either stripped or rounded off by inappropriate use of an impact driver...Mr2Mike said:

You do realise that my new modern impact driver has 3 torque settings plus a Tek screw setting? It's called evolution
Do you know which torque setting is appropriate for every kind of screw and material, and you can feel through the driver if the thread is beginning to stretch (as you can through a manual screwdriver)?It's called using the appropriate tool for the job, and for a huge number of jobs a standard screwdriver is the appropriate tool
Wera are good, Stanley are good also.. I found myself replacing my screwdrivers often between using at work and at home on the cars etc. So bit the bullet around 3 years ago and bought myself the 12 piece snap on screwdriver set when it was on promo from my rep.
It was expensive, yes - but they are good quality, very ergonomic with the triangular soft handles and I've used the larger flat heads for prying (managed to bend one) and have managed to snap/crack one of the pozzi heads and both got replaced free of charge from the rep. - This would be the point where I would normally pay another £10-15 to replace it or buy another set if most were worn.
In my eyes the £120-ish set is very nice to use and I'll never have to buy another screwdriver again in my life which is more cost effective than buying a £10-30 set every couple of years when they wear out.
Although I do find myself using my ratchet screwdriver and impact driver a lot more often now..
