I am a long term Craftsman brand fan but these days I shop for tools at
LOWES.

Thanks, Tom Hargrave

Clear handle Craftsman screwdrivers are so-so.
The "Industrial" or "professional" line is much better.
The handles were black, but now red and black.

I'd like to know more about the screwdrivers you mentioned. The sears set
(clear plastic handles with red and blue stripes) are pretty disappointing.
Definitely not the quality as the same set when my dad bought it in the
1950s. One of my next tool purchases was going to be $100 bucks on a
Greenlee set, but I'd sears has a high quality set at a reasonable price I'd
like to know about it.

I don't abuse them, but the tips on my set are warped or bent, something I
would expect from a cheap set.
