I dont think they should advertise that they "allow you to work on live parts up to 1,000v"

Thats just going to give Joe Public false confidence in DIY electrics
 
I've got a "Wickes Professional" branded screwdriver that's great for plate screws/terminals... I've been using it for years and years... and still going strong. I think I grabbed it quick somewhere as I was without the van/tools and someone needed something fixed.
I think the Wickes jobbies


are Draper just rebranded
 
The only real issue I have found with the cheapo £5-10 vde sets is the pozi2 tip tends to round off very quickly. the flat heads seem to last a bit longer. But for a fiver what do you really expect

I find a cheapo PH2 works very well for making holes for 6mm plugs in plasterboard ceilings...
 
I think I have tried most brands of vde screwdrivers and never really had a favourite , I think the only big name brand that I haven't had a set of is Facom
 
I don't think they should include a neon screwdriver and call it a voltage tester as well.
why not. every other maker includes one. wiha, wera, draper et al.
 
set in LIdl's . stupidly cheap. maybe not the best quality but as a starter for an apprentice, no brainer.

having said that, i bought a set 5 years ago, £6.99 for 6 or 7. been used and abused but still in decent shape.
I have my set I started college with, moved on to Wera but they still get use at home.
