Screwdriver addict...

[Lister1987]

Why they still put a neon deathdriver in with the set is beyond me...

I use mine as a scratch-all / bradall

 

[Zerax]

Meh....no Boddingtons or ITL. What sort of collection is that.

What are Boddingtons like ? I hear they're British made ?

How do you do your 'safe isolation' procedure then ??

With a RECONISED VOLTAGE INDICATOR, not a death screwdriver, surely you're not being serious are you?

He's kidding Pete.

More seriously, what do you make of the Joker? I've toyed with the idea of buying a combination set many times, but haven't yet managed to justify the expense.

Just checking all the bits go together snugly ?

Well if you ever throw them away, throw them in an envelope addressed my way ?

Not used it yet, but seem good. The really expensive ones are the new joker ratchet ended ones.

@nicebutdim I have the joker 10/13mm spanner, its well made and a lot of thought has went into it so it should be good, but I find it hard to use because it is straight rather than the 15 degree offset. I keep persevering with it but it just feels wrong IMHO.

Lack of offset isn't something I'd considered and it's a very good point. I've looked at the combination set time and again, but could never quite justify the price tag. Main draw was exceptional quality and slim profile, but I've enough cut and ground spanners to cover just about every situation.

 

[R-fur]

I still carry the 10/13 jocker in my tool bag just because it saves carrying two spanners but I don't think I would by a set of them.

15£ a spanner is too pricey for my taste...
