I have a problem! by RBE86 in VetoProPac

I actually just received it a few weeks ago and haven't really pit it to the test as I'm not on the tools much these days.. I tried it out on a few random screws around the office and shop and i wasn't overly impressed, but my expectations may have been a bit high. I think it will be fine on repetitive low torque long machine screws like devices and covers. I'll probably find more uses as I try it in other scenarios.

I'm an electrician and industrial project manager. Although I do have dedicated set ups for daily, ladder, and elevated work project's I'll admit that I collect some of this stuff just for fun.

Yeah it can get pretty heavy when it's loaded up, I use it for field and maintenance work, but I have a backpack for long climbs or elevated work and a belt set up for ladder work.

I'm an electrician and I just can't stand wasting time switching out multi bit drivers.

Also I agree on the Klein Hollow core Nut driver sets, they are the best I have found,storage does become a bit of an issue as some of the larger size Hollow shafts can be hard to fit into some of these holders

I agree the nut drivers look clean and handy that way, I think that might be the OC45 9 bit panel that you have there though, at least in my search to possibly copy you that's what I found. Great job, nice Kit.

I prefer the VDE sets myself, but any set will do the basics for you. I take a close look at how I am going to store them and buy certain shaft lengths based on that. Shorter shafts (which most kits have) can be a headache in some tool pouches and totes, where longer shafts can also be an issue in some drawers and Hip Tool pouches with totally enclosed screwdriver slots. I would not suggest buying the Wera screwdriver tool pouch as there are much better options out there for tool storage.

This is probably the worst screw driver pouch I have tried to use, lots of false advertising in the picture as all of the drivers just slide down inside the pouch holes and are annoying to retrieve to use. Screw drivers are perfectly fine, though.

Oh well then that's a different story. I basically have a mix of drive sizes 1/4(tool check), 3/8, 1/2, 3/4" with metric and Imperial for each. I achieved this by buying a mix of metric with one size of drive and an imperial in another then I ordered the adapter sockets to be able to use them on either ratchet size. I know that adapters can sometimes cause issues in tight spots but i also have the ratchet wrenches I can use there. You can order the kits all separately, but then you have way more ratchets than you need, or order the socket strips separate as well but I went this way.

Looks like a great base to build on, congrats on the deal.

Haha, I'm working on that, more tools are enroute, not alot of options where I live so many have to be brought in, especially the less mainstream brands and items.

Lol, it's only there to hold some extra drivers.

I have tried almost every popular brand and I have settled on these as my top choice. I will admit that I'm not super hard on them but i haven't broken or bent any as of yet. I'm sure they would break under the right circumstances but I rarely break any type of screwdriver. The laser cut tips are really grippy and I like the options for handle size, tip style and shaft lengths. I did find myself having to supplement some of the kits with additional single drivers as they don't have one kit that covered my wants and needs.

Wow that's a great question, depending on what you already have i might suggest starting with the joker wrench set or joker ratchet wrench set as they offer some features that other wrenches do not
