![]() That is less likely to happen with these screwdrivers.Īnd, if you do come across tasks that require greater leverage, they do have hex bolsters for use with a wrench. While some comfort grip screwdrivers have thicker handles that aid in higher torque applications – the wider the handle the greater the leverage – I have found that softer handle materials might tug at my hand and lead to fatigue or soreness. These screwdrivers have slim handles, which might in theory be a cause of concern for higher torque applications, but they’ve handled well in my experiences. That’s a whole big topic on its own, as there’s no “best” handle shape, style, or material, but I mention this as an example of why one might opt for hard handle screwdrivers. Hard handled screwdrivers are usually easy to clean, and can be more durable than soft-handled screwdrivers. ![]() There’s also the warranty consideration – Snap-on has tool trucks and Williams doesn’t – but the price difference negates that for most people. I have seen a couple of comparisons over the years, and if I recall correctly the consensus was that there are some differences in tolerances or quality, but not enough to make a difference to most people. The 5-piece set that’s shown above is typically priced between $40 and $44, and you can get an 8pc set for $54-$58. Williams hard-handle screwdrivers are similar in style to Snap-on’s much-loved hard-handle screwdrivers, which isn’t surprising since Williams is a Snap-on Industrial company, but they’re priced a lot lower. That comes out to around $28.57 per screwdriver. These aren’t my favorite screwdrivers, but I do enjoy using them, and they’re quite different from most of the other screwdrivers I typically reach for more frequently.Ī 7pc set of Snap-on hard-handle screwdrivers, with Phillips and slotted tips, is currently $200 via their website.
