Review on ๐Ÿ”ง IRWIN Performance Series Phillips PH#2 Screwdriver, 1-1/2" by Marc Alvarez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Reliable performer in power and hand tools

This is a #2 4 inch screwdriver on test. A screwdriver is one of those tools that seems easy to make but hard to come by. Exactly. Irwin comes very close to this instrument. === Good stuff ===* The handle "feels right". uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. (I have "medium" hands, I usually wear a large man's glove.) The rubber coating on the handle is comfortable, non-slip, has a light texture. Doesn't slide down the shaft onto the screw.* The tip of the screwdriver seems to bite into almost every screw I've tried. I've been able to drive both "electric" and construction screws fairly successfully. The IP is non-replaceable - meaning it stays in place with no wobbling, falling out or moving. On the other hand, if it wears out, the tool becomes garbage. === Not good stuff ===* I would have preferred a magnetized tip. I managed to slightly magnetize it with a magnet, but not enough to be useful. ===Summary=== This is a great screwdriver and has managed to find a place in my tool box. The tag at the end came in handy as it makes it easy to tell if my tool belt has one. So far he has not removed a conspicuous number of screws.
