Wera lazertip is hard to beat, good review as always

Witte also makes screwdrivers for Matco Tools as well.The Matco version looks like the Maxxpro Plus Witte screwdriver

Same drivers, but you pay another $120 just for the Matco name. Lol

Thank you for another fine review/comparison. It's interesting to me that the trilobe is making a comeback here and with the new Milwaukee screwdrivers (made in China) when it was originally pioneered by Stanley with their Workmaster series in the 70's and 80's. I've always found this style of handle far more comfortable than others. It's nice to see it making a comeback from a higher quality manufacturer.

Amen. There is something about the feel of a trilobe screwdriver that just cannot be beaten.

The tri-lobe definitely has a lot going for it. Snap-On uses this design on all their newer drivers (Instinct I believe) also. The Witte MaxxPro and MaxxPro Plus have the best, most comfortable handles for me, I have found.

Those Maxxpros look nice - need to supplement my Instincts and they seem like a solid choice.

One other use for the go through holes in the handle is tying a tether to the tool that you can fasten around your wrist; a very sensible safety feature at heights where dropping the tool onto someone could cause serious injury. Danke!!!

That Maxpro shape reminds me of a Sonic #2 I got in the sample tool promotion they did. The shape of the soft over-mold and the harder plastic is different, but the overall shape very similar.

I have some Witte screwdrivers, I like their handles most of all (more than Felo/Wera/Wiha).

Do you think that the thread size for the screw was an issue. In my experience I have found that many hard drive / computer screws ( various m sizes ) require specific tips. Due to the extra grip the Were may make up for some variance allowing it to be a little more universal. I have seen this in my own test between Wera , Wiha, Bhaco all though all perform yo a high degree for my applications.

I have several sets of the Stahlwille screwdrivers, and I must admit that I am not too happy with them; although you're right, they are lightweight.

I suspect that the hole in the handle is more for attaching a lanyard when working at height, rather than being designed for using another screwdriver as a T handle. Could be wrong though.

I wonder what was going on with the 3K?

Like many tools that are bought of the tool truck, you are paying for the service. Sometimes worth it. Same way that some snap on stuff is worth it, you are buying the weekly support that comes with the price. I payed WAY more for my snap on screwdrivers but over 15 years of daily use (abuse) they are worth it. Anything happens to them, i'll get a new blade or handle no questions asked. But, I payed for that service up front.

The maxpro is identical to the current model Matco screwdrivers, of wh I ate also manufactured by Witte.

Philips heads are supposed to cam out if over toqued. Or so I keep hearing. Isn't the Stahwille working as intended then?

Can you compare in between Japanese Jis and European Iso Standard, Philips screwdriver?

I like the J.I.S screwdriver 1-3 they seem to grab the screw's better (vessel screwdrivers)👍🏻✌🏻🇬🇧

I went back forth between WIHA/WERA/PB SWISS etc...finally grabbed some VESSEL Megadoras...if there's anything that grabs a "phillips" fastener better and transfers torque better than Vessels I'd be duly impressed.

Jim Hinson My experience as well. I can’t recommend Vessel phillips drivers enough.

The regular Maxxpro screwdrivers are pretty good. Whenever I order from Amazon, I look for good deals on tools to try. I bought a Witte 53011, with hex bolster, for about $4, and it has been a great screwdriver. The grip is very comfortable and works well with my screwed-up hands. If I had not purchased a set of the Wera laser tips, I'd buy a set of the Wittes.

Lightweight for aviation use? I have never heard that once in over 30 yrs in the industry. Most a/c mechanics use a heavier screwdriver such as a Snap-on ratcheting model so they can apply more weight and torque to removing corroded or stripped screws.

I bought a Witte Bit Driver (26043) at an ergonomic trade show and it has NEVER operated as advertised. It's all locked up and is just another VERY expensive screwdriver.

My Matco torx and screwdriver looks exactly the same

Witte Maxpro plus is what matco uses

The shafts and tips look identical to the GearWrench screwdrivers. Even the font is the same. I wonder

I made all of these.

I bought witte protop 6pc VDE screwdriver set for just 15€. Better quality then Felo or Wera set

Try a british "king dick" 6 in 1 screwdriver. The special head shape fits pozi 1,2,3 and philips 1,2,3.

May be you should buy another Stahlwille to verify if it was just a lemon or really a manufacturing issue.

Yeah I might at some point.

I thought the title said "Screwdrivers made by white people"

I was about to criticize you being so picky when I realized I can't stand bar codes on my tools!

It looks like you're using a #2/3 phillips on a #1 phillips, so some of them may not be thin enough to grab onto the screw.

Are all those shown German made ? Oplast in Slovenia make many screwdriver models for Hazet, Gedore and others and I expect the cheaper Witte models ? If it's made in Germany it will say so. I wonder how some of the Japanese made Vessel screwdrivers would get on with those Asian screws.... better would be my guess I like the PB Swiss black swissgrip drivers which have bolsters and metal pound through caps.

The Hazet hard copy catalogue handily displays the German flag under all the locally produced items. Most of their screwdrivers are likely supplied by Oplast, except the traditional wooden handled and some of Trinamic Ultra drivers. I've got some Hazet Hexanamic PH which don't say made in Germany.

German...the W is pronouced like a V. The e on the end also gets pronounced. It aint a Porshhhhhh car ...it is a Porsh-ah. (Porsche) It's also Vera and Viha.

Can I say tool tribalism is not for the true tool enthusiast, as no manufacturer makes the best pliers, screwdrivers, spanners etc, so for linesmans pliers klein, for electrical sheers knippex, for electrician test meter kewtech, multi meter metrawatt or fluke, spanners ...... NOTE: cost is not a indication of quality, its a weekend warrior madman
