Klein tools screw driver tips versus others?
Can't say anything bad about them. The tips of the screw drivers are black. Looks like a gimmick for selling. When I first bought a set at an electrical
distributor (I know it's not the best price but it was close) the black tips looked like a coating on a solid shank. It's not. The tip is a hardened piece
that is attached to the shank. Run your finger nail along the tip where it is attached to the shank. There is a small gap between the two pieces. Never had
a tip come apart from a shank. Compare that to a regular Sear Craftsman type with their famous claim of that Chrome Vanadium Steel. Don't even want to think
about the cheapo off-shore junk.
Working on nice new equipment with soft nosed tools just screws up the tool and what it is trying to turn. Those older screw drivers are just used for
opening paint cans.
Those Klein tools hold up. For those who think this way, can you provide what you know. What is better than a Klein? Mac?.
Have walked through a MAC truck 20 years ago but that stuff was not affordable at the time.
