Disappointing Performance: Avoid for Automotive Use

Using this screwdriver in our automotive shop, we found that it had poor grip and was prone to slipping. Its design is also flimsy and feels cheap. On the plus side, it is relatively affordable. Unfortunately, this tool falls short in terms of quality and effectiveness. We do not recommend it for professional automotive use.

Pros
  • Ergonomic handle design for comfortable use
Cons
  • Screwdriver tip is not interchangeable, limiting versatility

Excellent Vaco/Klein quality and comfortable length.

What I love about these Vaco screwdrivers is that I get a quality tool from Klein without the padded grip. I prefer amber grips for working in harsh environments where small cushioning grips break and become frustrating. As other reviewers have said, there should be no shame in listing the tool as Vaco in an add-on. Vaco is a respected brand in its own right, there is nothing to be ashamed of and that is the Vaco screwdriver. That's what it says on the pen.

Pros
  • Made in the USA
Cons
  • Functionality

Great first impression

I use my #2 Phillips screwdrivers a lot, so I figured it was time to get some individual screwdrivers , instead of buying more sets. I usually only buy tools from the US or Germany and this fits perfectly. It was also relatively cheap for a good driver. I bought a couple of these and a couple of Xcelite screwdrivers. I've consistently given up cheaper screwdrivers and switched to Wiha electrician's screwdrivers, but I wanted something more versatile. It's not pretty, but they're cool. They are…

Pros
  • Offers up to 50% more power to get tricky jobs done with minimal effort
Cons
  • Not the best
