Customer Reviews for OLYMPIA Gold Series Screwdriver Set (6-Piece)

I enjoy the magnetic tips, and how comfortable they feel in my hand. The color is also nice for spotting when the screw driver falls underneath the car.

I keep this Olympia set in the utility drawer in my kitchen for times where I need a screwdriver for some quick light duty use. The grips are a good size and comfortable to hold/use, the tips of the bits fit properly into the corresponding screws, and the magnetized tips are a nice feature. The downside is that the shafts of the screwdrivers are a little thin. The smaller ones flex with light force and the bigger ones flex with light-moderate force. For high torque applications I'd be concerned about bending/breaking the screwdrivers. As an overall set I would say 3/5 but a 4/5 if you're talking about a kitchen drawer/quick grab set for around the house.

Easy to see coloring makes the tools easy to find. Let's face it, we should all replace our screwdrivers more often and this is a good general replacement set. Very crisp and clean edge cuts ensure a good seat for the screw head. No slipage, good grip, metal appears to be quite hard for durability. Good weight and balance. Only down side is there's no hole in the handle for pegboard hanging.

This set of screwdrivers looks nice, it has a nice triangular handle design that allows for a better grip, the shaft is pentagonal, and claimed to be made of chrome-vanadium (an automotive grade alloy)... great... Nevertheless, the factors stated above matter very little if the tip (which is the part of the tool that is actually going to take the stress and do the job) is simply average... as a matter of fact the cheap old set I am trying to substitute lasted longer before the tips became useless... this new set I used it a day or so and the tips in some of the crew drivers are now useless... I had ended up way better if I had buy one of the sets that go for $7, they have 20 screwdrivers and I had been able to buy 3 sets if they had broken like this one... on top of that, the set has no protective case... overall an extremely disappointing experience... I wanted to return them but I had already thrown away the box... not recommend it to anyone.
