Review on Klein Tools 32288 Insulated 8-in-1 Screwdriver Set with Interchangeable Blades, Including 3 Phillips, 3 Slotted, and 2 Square Tips by Lamar Marshall

I have a set of Klein fixed blades that I bought 10-15 years ago. I liked them and they served me well, so I went back to Klein. The isolation on the top pair was much greater. The new screwdriver's straight blade is better milled and doesn't slip as much as it's more of a Gracie screwdriver-like tip. Unfortunately, overall it seems like the new reversible driver is made from more brittle materials (that may not be the correct description) or perhaps less comfortable and less forgiving materials throughout the build. OK, how does it work? 1) The #2 Phillips somehow feels a little loose when inserted into the screw head, or at least there is room for improvement with a tight fit in the screw head. How should I know, I have both Wiha and Wera and I know what a really tight tolerance is. Small missed. Latch 1.2) The reverse mechanism works well and doesn't feel like it will accidentally disengage, but it also doesn't have a strong click to indicate a good latch and release feel. You should understand this if you're the type of person who likes a really powerful click. The black ring is a yoke that snaps onto a lug and releases the blade with very little twist. There is no stop position so the collar can easily be rotated 360º. With every turning movement, the handle releases the blade. It's not a mistake, it's just different. 3) Multi is written on the back of the driver. This is a huge oversight when R&D obviously assumed people wouldn't carry multiple tool blades in their pockets. There is no symbol like +/- or anything else to indicate which tool you are using. Guess short multi-tool and square-handle screwdrivers (Robertson bit) also say "multi" with no symbols or clear markings. I had to wrap colored tape around the narrowest part of the handle to make the tools look different. When two people passed tools to each other, we couldn't tell which tool was which without picking it up and looking at the blade each time. Very annoying. Another bad R&D move that deserves a slap in the face. Strike 2.4) These appear to be the same round knobs as the previous fixed blade screwdrivers, but these things often roll (I mean they look like wheels)! 3. Hit Small! The blades of the new screwdrivers slide over the new screws just like my 10-15 year old worn screwdrivers. I was very upset about that. Then I realized that steel also seems softer. When the Phillips tip comes out, it wears out more easily at the tip (really, Klein?!). As you read above, when I had multiple tools with the same handle, I couldn't tell which tool I was grabbing? That and the fact that I had to pick up new drivers more times per week than I had to pick up old drivers in a decade made me very frustrated. At some point I just started reaching for my Wiha. I can buy isolated Wiha drivers for around $7-8 per driver. So four of them cost me about $28, which is about 75% of the cost of two Klien drivers. The Wiha feels better in the hand, feels better in the hand, doesn't roll, costs less and is actually a better tool. Unfortunately, anything that has a black oxide coating anywhere seems to be less dense steel overall (in terms of electric screwdrivers). Now I've classified them as random tools in the toolbox because I don't like using them. The swipe bit is handy, but gets overwhelmed by disruptive factors very quickly. By default I used my standalone Wiha drivers. I have no negative feedback on Wiha. I should have just taken the special Wiha screwdrivers for my tool bag. Viha eats Klein for breakfast.
