Screwdriver Sets: Frustrations Unleashed! 

agreed. Everyone hates slotted and I get it but I use them all the time. I like dedicated drivers and such for production type work, especially for installing slotted screws. I am realizing that having options is very important. I have noticed on some older slotted screws for wood, the slots are slightly tapered too. Felo wooden handled drivers fit very nicely but they are better for slotted steel screws that are older. For delicate fasteners, I really like the PB Swiss. For now I have the pb 8102.DN 4-100 : 6.5 x 1 and it has been really handy for the #5 slotted brass screws I use a lot in my furniture. The rounded edges don't rip up the soft brass.

Great video. I was thinking when I watched the video where you said you were going to do this video that people’s views on tools is driven by what they do with them. I can see how long PH2 and PH1 are very useful for computers getting to screws deep in cases and slotted would be near worthless. I find myself but large sets and then duplicates/singles of PH2/PH3 and adding to the sets because I need large slotted for old house work. I even use a PZ4 with some regularity (land rover door hinge screws).

Interesting perspective; but the slotted driver is still very commonly used and needed. I have full sets of both slotted and Philips; however, in my small maintenance tool bag and I only keep a single slotted driver, and Philips #2 and #3. Only need a PH#1, or #0 and #00 when dealing with small electronics. Never turned a PH#4 but I do have the driver if needed -- I've seen PH#4 used on the commuter train.

Gotta love how every Craftsman screwdriver set is missing Craftsman's most useful screwdriver, the Craftsman 9-41586. They thought we wouldn't notice...

Just buy your own screwdrivers that you need individually make your own set. Nobody is stopping you. Electricians need slotted drivers.

Okay...liked and I am already subscribed...so leaving a comment down below 😃 Jokes aside, I completely agree with what you are saying......the only place where I have seen that you can mix / match screwdrivers they way you want are with Bacho and Wera screwdrivers at Bauhaus Stores here in Europe, everywhere else they are always only sold as sets....so like you said; you end up with maybe 3 screw drivers that you actually use out of a set with maybe 6 screw drivers and often forcing you to buy multiple sets to get the sizes you actually need, so you end up with eight million nine hundred and fifty two thousand four hundred and thirty six slotted screwdrivers (Note; number might be exaggerated...perhaps.......maybe...) that you will never use and will just take up space in your tool box, which is just stupid. The only thing I really use slotted screwdrivers for these days are as a light duty pry bar, which the large slotted screwdriver is excellent for.....but wtf do I do with the rest!? In my opinion, instead of a typical set consisting of PH1, PH2 and 4 or five random slotted, a good set should consist of PH1, PH2, PZ1, PZ2 (all either 100mm or 150mm) and a large and small slotted (maybe 0.5x3x150 slotted and as big as 1,6x10x175 slotted, and preferably tang-tru version of the large one)....like you said; if you need a short screwdriver; you would use a stubby.

I want a matched set including Ph and JIS. But no! They come from different sides of the world! No Pz for me though. I have a Pz #2. Never seen a Pz screw. Thinking about getting torx screwdrivers. But anything torx usually requires more than wrist action. I have torx bits from t8 to t70. Impact rated.
