Those Doyle demolition screwdrivers are pretty damn nice for only $8 and they got the strike cap. Fairly comfortable handle too. I just with they had the hex portion for sticking a wrench on it on the shank rather than on the Nylon handle
As an electrician and a diy mechanic, I use almost exclusively Wera screwdrivers. They also have the laser engraving on the PHs and I’ve never handled another brand that holds onto a fastener like the Weras. Good video. My dad used to get all Cornwell stuff now I can see why
I don’t buy Strap-on for anything but I had to have the green soft grips. I signed over my only child for them but it was worth it she’s 13 and hates me anyway. I have a pathological screw driver addiction that I can’t explain and have no issue spending money on them.
I took advantage of the Icon socket -40% off sale and loaded up. I now have back up to the back up sets on sockets. I do not own any Icon screw drivers yet. They look good. Hope they will go on sale.
I do like the Icon brand and own many tools from them. But for screwdrivers, I'm saving an extra $30 to get an 8 piece set of Vessel Megadora thru-tang screwdrivers. I mess with a lot of Japanese atv's that are equipped with JIS head hardware, but the JIS tip drivers fit regular phillips hardware great as well. I have a few different Vessel products, and I really like the quality of the tools they produce.
I have the Megadora Thru tangs, they're hands down the best screwdrivers I have ever used and the most featureful on the market. I don't think I have seen another set that has a full tang, strike cap, bolster, and ripped heads. Usually a set only has one or two of those features but never all of them. They're great and I don't believe they can be beaten in value for money and overall quality. The only real issue I have with them is how to warranty them. I bought them through amazon, but I do think some vendors like Tech's Choice tools will warranty them if you happen to buy from them.
It is nice to see the tabletop review of the tools, it is also nice to compare colors and feel, but in my mind the most important aspect of a screwdriver is its durability, I'd like to see how well they stand to the use and abuse
Some Phillips 3 screws on Hondas. Door strikers and latches, the screws that hold the rotors to the hubs as well as screws that hold splash guards on and ones that hold the bumper cover brackets. I feel like I’m forgetting a bunch of examples but I use my p3 all the time. It’s a 20 year old Craftsman USA and it looks like it’s been through hell and back. Recently got a set of Vessel JIS screwdrivers to finally replace the ancient Craftsmans because ideally that’s what you’d use on a car made in Japan.
i have 3 sets of the icons and 1 full set of snapons, the icons are great and I've never had issues with them. my snapons stay in my box for home use but I have a set of icons in my truck and upstairs. both are great I prefer my snapons but the icons regardless of the tool are a similar quality/ style to the snapon line for between 50/25% OF THE PRICE
i have snap on soft grip, mac, icon, klein and a but of other El-Cheapo brands. but i just got the tekton screw drivers soft grip and some in hard handle and they are easily the second best (next to snap on of course) but the are even cheaper than the icon and made in use. great tools
I always loved the look of the Snap On Instinct screwdrivers. I mainly buy Icon tools, but I just had to have the 12 piece Snap On set with the stubby drivers and finally bought them this year. I might add the Icon set at some point when they have one of those 25% coupons again because the Snap On set is too pretty to use on some of those dirty jobs.
Awesome video! Have you guys tried the Pittsburgh/Icon flex head conversion?? It's been my favorite harbor freight hack for a 18" 3/8 flex head rachet! Use that thing everyday
@@jimprice8557 I do not. But it's the SKU number is 66388 for the breaker bar handle and of course any icon flex head. Same size and screw so it's a quick and easy swap!
I have the orange Matco set. Got it free after a silent auction winner failed to collect or pay for the basket they won and the organizer gave them to me. I like them, but to me the value of a tool is in the work it can do and I don't feel that they're in any way better than other screwdrivers by a large enough margin to warrant the extra money. For that reason I would go for the Icon, but honestly, for half the price of Icon I would probably get the Quinn 15 piece premium set.
A while back I got a 15 piece screwdriver set from home depot for 11 bucks which was a steal the only think is if you are really tightening down on them they will rub some skin off of your palms but besides that they are a terrific screwdriver
I HATE bad screwdrivers. With a passion, that burns deep inside my soul. It's an eternal hatred that will linger long after I am gone from this world. While I usually buy Klein screwdrivers I will say, the Lenox screwdrivers they sell at Lowe's are EXCELLENT. And very affordable, more so than the Icons. Also, if you have a magnet, such as a magnetic tray, you can make any screw driver magnetic by rubbing the screwdriver with it. Need it to be non magnetic? Drop it. Magnetized screw drivers are a marketing gimmick, there is nothing special about them vs any piece of steel rod.
I have had the orange Matco screwdrivers, the OG Snap On hard handles and now have a full set of Snap On instinct. Kinda wish I still had the OG hard handles. The instinct set because of the rubber handle gets dirty too easy and is hard to keep clean.
The Vessel Megadora's are the best screwdrivers I have ever used. High quality steel, comfortable grips, Ribbed heads for more grip in the fastener, the shank runs the full length of the handle, Strike Cap, and they have a bolster for putting a wrench on em. And they're still far more affordable than tool truck brands.
Japanese vehicles use a different standard than Phillips, it's called Japanese Industrial Standard often referred to as JIS. If you're working on Japanese vehicles often you owe it to yourself to get the correct screwdrivers to work on them.
Wiha and Williams are my combined favorites. The older plastic acetate. That's for USA screws, Wiha works better on anything international. The tips hold up so well
I've actually used the largest of the Phillips driver on alot of Suzuki Samurai and Cheep's. (Sorry,I meant Jeep's) and all kinds of motorcycle and 4-Wheeler's!!!
I have some snap ons and I like them but they strip screws just as easy as my other screwdrivers. I’d go with the icon just based on the ease of warranty. I can stop on my way home from work and get it warrantied in 5 minutes. I don’t have a tool truck coming to my house so warranty is nearly impossible for my snap on stuff
The Marco screw drivers aside from the one with the felt bits on the handle are actually Matcos silver ealge set or there version of like blue point and the Marco sets don’t have the nut to turn it but the hole in the handle is where your supposed to shove another screwdriver in and twist it there shanks go all the way through the handle and the way they are designed allows you to do that they kind of have a plus shaped tang in the handles that prevents you from rotating the shank in the handle other than that nice video
I buy screwdriver sets way too often . Craftsman icon wera wiha Klein Pittsburg but I find something wrong with all of them . The icon are too light wera the handle is too small . I finally got the Matco set and so far I love them .
I love my snap on. I just can’t justify buying another set of screwdrivers. I have all kinds of screwdrivers and have all kinds of brands. The price of the icons is awesome and look great just can’t justify buying them
Buying icon for 50 dollars is stupidity when you can buy wera or wiha for less money and they are literally the best screwdrivers on the market. Way better, then snap on. I've been very disappointed in my snap on screwdrivers.
You said you buy screwdrivers all the time. Why do you do that? Do you loose them? Do you abuse them? Do you use them for everything that they are not designed? My screwdrivers are at least thirty years old and I believe only one has been warranteed. Buy good quality tools. Take care of them. Do not abuse them. Do not loan them to anyone. They shouldn't have to be replaced.
I have these. They are a solid tool. Now we need a set with strike plates.
Those Doyle demolition screwdrivers are pretty damn nice for only $8 and they got the strike cap. Fairly comfortable handle too. I just with they had the hex portion for sticking a wrench on it on the shank rather than on the Nylon handle

Making a video about srew drivers interesting is quite a big deal.you
guys rock
I love the videos, been bingeing them so I was happy to see a new video.
Thanks for your support. We really appreciate it
I have the German made Matco screwdrivers! I have no complaints from Matco’s screwdrivers yet. I’ve been thinking about trying vessel
I bought a set of those right before Christmas and they are every bit as good as my snap on screwdrivers
I took advantage of the Icon socket -40% off sale and loaded up. I now have back up to the back up sets on sockets.
I do not own any Icon screw drivers yet. They look good.
Hope they will go on sale.
I work at a Chevy dealership and the P3 tips are perfect for the license plate screws on GM vehicles
Thanks
Also on air boxes on some of the older trucks/SUVs before they switched to torx
Good to know thanks
That's what I've used them for, also - I have used the #4 in the house for toilet seat screws!
Door strikers and latch assemblies on Hondas too. At least the older ones.
I have Mac screwdrivers with the wrench shaft. I bought them in the mid 90s and they still work great. The color is the light green.
Have yall used the VIM comeleon grips

You sound like Hunter lol
Thanks for watching and commenting

I’ll have to check it out
@@jimprice8557 it uses the handle from the Pittsburgh 3/8 racheting breaker bar and any icon flex head.
That’s awesome
Do you have any videos on it

Philips 3 used on a C- 130 hydraulic system selector valve in the wing root.
thanks for the review, really enjoy your videos. how to you enter into the giveaways?
I like using replaceable tipped screwdrivers . The tips are hardened well and there is a high amount of variety of different tips available .
A while back I got a 15 piece screwdriver set from home depot for 11 bucks which was a steal the only think is if you are really tightening down on them they will rub some skin off of your palms but besides that they are a terrific screwdriver
Good shit gentleman, I use a Phillips #3 for removing the lid on our industrial vacuums at work. (Carwash maintenance specialist)
Thanks buddy we appreciate it. That’s cool

I couldn't say it better myself.
I actually bought my 10 yr old a two piece Lennox screwdriver set from Lowe's
They're very nice and a great price.
I have had the orange Matco screwdrivers, the OG Snap On hard handles and now have a full set of Snap On instinct. Kinda wish I still had the OG hard handles. The instinct set because of the rubber handle gets dirty too easy and is hard to keep clean.
I use a phillips 3 once a year removing and replacing my rear license plate bracket to install the registration sticker.
I would have liked to have seen the USA made Milwaukee screwdriver set included in this review.
I just bought kleins multi tip ratcheting screwdrivers do most of what i need. Got one stubby and one long one 32558 is the best one ive ever used.
Try Milwaukee’s USA screwdriver, as well as Vessel Japan screwdrivers

P3 for honda splash shield screws... A P2 might turn it but it's loose enough to strip them out quickly if there is any resistance
Thanks that is great to know

Love screw drivers! thanks for the video gentlemen!
Great video

I always look for high-quality screwdrivers at estate and garage sales..found at least 50-75 over the years.. I give them away to friends..
I’ve used a Philips 3 taking the screws out of a rotor
I almost bought that set of screwdriver in hf, yesterday, i wide of buying those new pulling pliers you guys have ..
Thanks for watching and you need to go get them lol
They are great
I work in Telecommunications and I use Philips 1, 2 and 3. I primarily use P3 on a daily basis. In everyday life, I’ve never needed a P3 though.
Philips #3 for some license plate fasteners.

That’s great to know thanks buddy
Matco screwdriver are from a German company named whitte they specialize in screwdriver only

How many screwdrivers do you need
You don’t need a lot but I trying to get all of them lol
We love screwdrivers lol
The Marco screw drivers aside from the one with the felt bits on the handle are actually Matcos silver ealge set or there version of like blue point and the Marco sets don’t have the nut to turn it but the hole in the handle is where your supposed to shove another screwdriver in and twist it there shanks go all the way through the handle and the way they are designed allows you to do that they kind of have a plus shaped tang in the handles that prevents you from rotating the shank in the handle other than that nice video
Thanks for letting me know that’s awesome
For automotive work a stubby along with a ph1/2/3 are all mandatory. Otherwise you’ll be purchasing them separately adding to the overall cost.
That’s right
I sold my old Icon screwdriver set and bought the new one
dude, you lost me when you said the cornwell whoop klein. i am biased but i do use klein daily and they are just the best i have ever used.
I buy screwdriver sets way too often . Craftsman icon wera wiha Klein Pittsburg but I find something wrong with all of them . The icon are too light wera the handle is too small . I finally got the Matco set and so far I love them .
I have the Wiha set and they are badass
I’ve never used a Number 3 Phillips and I’ve never turned a screwdriver with a wrench.
License plate screws are #3
Quality is key. I'm big on Quality, but dang snap on and other big brands. 300 bucks for 6 or 8 screwdrivers 😅
I prefer the Gearwrench set, then the snapon
Cornwell if no budget. Icon if on a budget
Good choice
I love my snap on. I just can’t justify buying another set of screwdrivers. I have all kinds of screwdrivers and have all kinds of brands. The price of the icons is awesome and look great just can’t justify buying them
I get that. We love our snap on screwdrivers
2014 era air boxes on silverados
Thanks
Yall might wanna look at the wera brand screwdrivers made in Germany or Czech Republic. They will change your mind on what a screwdriver should be.
We have some just not a big set. They are great. I wish we had a big set
Buying icon for 50 dollars is stupidity when you can buy wera or wiha for less money and they are literally the best screwdrivers on the market. Way better, then snap on. I've been very disappointed in my snap on screwdrivers.
Nothing better than the snap on screwdrivers.
Snap on is great
Tool addiction? hahahahaahh yeah me too.
I went from Mac back to snap on! Trade it over even basically. I will never buy Mac screw drivers or prybars. Snap on only.
Hunter is definitely biased 😂
He is
Maybe lol

Great in-depth review. Torture those Icons and see if they survive! I love those Cornwells, I just can't afford'em
Thanks we will have to see if they can hold up
Are u 2 related?
Father and son
Just not a fan of buying Chinese if i can help it
I believe these are made in Taiwan. Not China. I'm not positive about that, but I think so.
Buy USA made tools , ya support chine
