Boddingtons!

I don't mean the awful beer!

Boddies VDE screwdrivers etc - has anyone tried them? And how did they fare? Just had a set arrive today but have yet to try them out.

  • Anyone else had problems with POZI no 1 tips breaking? It seems to be confined to chemically blacked VDE ones. The standard chrome mechanics ones seem stronger.

    So far, I've had 2 x Armeg ones go, 2 x Wiha slimtips go, 1 x CK and 1 x Irazola one fail.

    Am hoping that the Boddies ones fare much better, although I have to say that the Armeg No2 POZI is excellent so far.

    I also have a set of Wera lasertips which I have used occasionally,  and a set of PB Swiss ones, but I keep those for special jobs. At fifty quid a set, they are not for house-bashing applications.

    I have been reading reviews on the web about torque screwdrivers and it seems that the interchangeable blades on these contrivences fail with monotonous regularity, which has put me off buying one at all.
