My girlfriend bought these for me as a Christmas present today. I am an industrial maintenance mechanic and own mostly Icon tools. I have been using Milwaukee screwdrivers and hated not having a case. My impression also was wow the handles are huge. Take up a lot of palm space. A lot of times, im trying to do three things with one hand, like balance a part, hold a hose off to the side while turning the fasteners, and these seem bulky. On the other hand, they seem solid and work worthy. Definitely will keep my other drivers, but this will be a beautiful addition to my top drawer.
Nice video. If you like screwdrivers with trays, might I suggest checking out the Carlyle Tools CHT SDS8. (It’s at NAPA). I use them and they aren’t much more expensive than the Icons. They are stout and feel really nice in hand, better than the icons in my opinion. The icon handles just feel awkward. It makes a difference if you are using them all day.
I’ll have to check them out, because I enjoy the icon screwdrivers but compared to Mac or Matco or even snap on the handles feel like hard plastic and i hate it

Turn the case upside down and fill it with clear epoxy so the plastic mold holder doesn’t break and it weighs it down so it doesn’t move around
