Recently I lost one of my nice but cheap screwdrivers to the wife who turned the flat head into a stub by scraping some grout. The screwdriver style couldn't be found again and my set was broken
We'll my wife felt bad and told me to buy a new really good set. So I went looking at Snap-on and Mac, but then came across Wiha.
Now what better to work on the P-Car than a nice German screwdriver?
So I ordered this set from e-bay.
These are amazing. Very heavy (the set of 8 is about 4lbs). The grips are really comfortable, the texture is non-slip and solvent/oil/gas safe.
I tried to find some reviews of these before I ordered them but couldn't so I wanted to post one here. I have used them for a couple things so far and they are fantastic. I would definately reccomend these if any of you are looking for a good set of screwdrivers.

Wiha MicroFinish® screwdrivers stand for contemporary handle design, together with the ideal combination of materials for wet and oily applications. The micro-fine surface of the finish zone made of sandblasted cellulose-acetate ensures maximum power transfer and provides an effective non-slip grip, even with very oily hands. The roll-off protection in the front area of the handle prevents the tool from rolling off the workbench. The screwdriver is also available with a solid steel cap for loosening tight screws with a single hammer blow. As the steel cap is connected to the blade, the entire energy from the impact is transmitted to the screw head without damaging either the handle or the blade. The MicroFinish® hex blades with ChromTop tip are made of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, are throughhardened and chrome-plated. This guarantees a particularly long tool life.
Wiha´s MicroFinish® screwdrivers are ideal for automotive applications, for use on building sites or when working with sanitary installations. However, they can also be used to perform repairs to machinery and equipment where oil and lubricants pose potential problems.
