    Yeah it's all about proper use and abuse. I do both with my tools. Just gotta make sure you've got the ones with a warranty!

    +1, They are spendy but once you have them you won't usually reach for anything else. At one time I had probably 40 screwdrivers of all brands and sizes in my screw driver drawer and my wife would always manage to dig out the Snap-On screwdrivers when she needed to do something in the house because as she says they just work and feel better.

    I still have a drawer full of all different screw drivers and many have pretty much specific uses. One Craftsman flat tip is may idle jet screw driver just because it is the right size and weight for the job. But for Philips it is always the Snap=on that gets used.

    I would also vote for the Snap-On ratcheting magnetic being the overall best. I have had one as long as I can remember and wouldn't go without one, even considering the outrageous price.
