10 of the Handiest Screwdriver Sets to Fix Everything at Home or at Work in 2024

The Craftsman 17 Piece is a professional Screwdriver Set featuring 9 slotted screwdrivers, 7 Phillips screwdrivers, a 4 in 1 pocket chain and 16 handles. We found this to be a complete set, sufficient for handling most standard fixtures at home or in the office.

The set comes with three different lengths for the most commonly used sizes such as the slotted 3/16 and Phillips #2. As a result, this set is perfect for reaching deep-seated screws as well as working in small spaces where you might need to work at an angle while using long screws.

The whole unit seems well made and weighs 2.4 pounds. The handles are made from butyrate, a highly durable material that can handle long exposure to wear and tear. We found it easy to grip the handles even while oily. Each blade in the set is heat-treated for maximum strength.

However…

They are not magnetic. As such, we found it a bit hard to use this set when opening small devices.

What’s more:

Craftsman has managed to put a great combination of screwdriver parts for an all-around home and office use. The make is high quality, though not professional grade.

That being said, they should last you a long time with normal use. However, they are not designed to take huge hits, so do not use them as chisels. One thing we found inconvenient with the Craftsman screwdriver set is the lack of a storage casing, which means the package may arrive scattered all over in the box. The set is manufactured in the USA.

Features

• Nine slotted screwdrivers ranging from 3/32” to 6”
• Seven Phillips screwdrivers ranging from #0 x 1 1/2” to #2 x 8”
• Heat-treated blades for maximum strength
• A 4 in 1 pocket chain
• 16 handles all made from butyrate

The Tekton 26759 16-piece model is a well-made screwdriver set with high-quality products. The set includes eight slotted screwdrivers ranging from sizes 1/8 x 4 inches to 5/16 x 8 inches. It also comes with eight additional Phillips screwdrivers from #0 x 4 inches all the way to #3 x 8 inches.

It features three-sided, textured handles that we found very useful in providing maximum grip and torque while comfortable to use. The full-length handles are also rounded providing comfort and easy control. The 4-inch stubby screwdrivers are compact and come in handy when you have limited room to operate. All the blades are made of high-quality chrome molybdenum steel and heat-treated for durability.

As if that’s not enough…

The tips have a black oxide finish, which prevents corrosion, increases the contrast between the blade and the screws as well as increasing grip.

In our experience…

These screwdrivers are perfect for anyone working on an automobile, doing some wiring and other medium scale household tasks. It fits perfectly in your hands, it is sturdy and should last you a long time if used correctly.

The markings on the butt of the handles on these tools make them easy to spot and pick the correct size, though color-coding the slotted and Phillips drivers would have been more helpful.

They are, however, very light, and we do not recommend using them as chisels. One of the issues we found is that the blades are not magnetized, making it a bit cumbersome when engaging screws.

Features

• Three-sided, textured handles provide more grip and torque
• Chrome molybdenum steel blades for durability and exact fits
• Features a protective black oxide coating that prevents corrosion
• Different sizes are indicated on the handles for easy identification
• Manufactured in the USA

The GearWrench 80066 20 Piece screwdriver set is a great bargain for anyone looking for quality screwdrivers at a fraction of the cost. The set contains nine different types of slotted screw heads ranging from ¼ x 1 ½ inches to 3/8 x 8 inches, eight Phillips screw driving heads and two Torx screwdrivers. The oil and acid resistant handles are ergonomically designed to make them easier to handle, however, they feel small and more plastic than rubbery that reduces the grip.

Best of all…

The shafts in this set are all made from strong chrome vanadium steel and they are not easily twisted or bent according to our tests. The shafts are rust and corrosion resistant with a black oxide coating on the tip, which improves the grip as well as reducing glare.

By the way…

If you get this set, you’ll be covered for most of the household chores that might need taking care of around the house or office due to the numerous sizes included. The shafts are strong enough to handle what they are meant to and the big ones even have a hexagonal bit for use with a wrench in case you require more torque. After you are done, you can fit everything back in the case that looks a bit cheap but works fine.

On the other hand…

The set is not recommended for serious professionals such as mechanics since most of the tools will not be able to keep up with daily heavy-duty use.

Features

• Magnetic tips
• Oil and acid resistant handles
• Tips covered in black oxide
• Tri-lobe ergonomic handle for maximum grip and comfort
• Size and part number are laser etched on chrome vanadium steel shaft
• "Speed Zone" for easy turning in lower torque applications

The Mayhew 66306 is a 10-piece screwdriver set that comes with five Phillip type screws ranging from #1 to #3 and five slotted screw heads from 7/32 inches to ¼ inch. We found this set to be comfortable to use, sturdy and very durable – a difficult combination to find in most screwdriver sets.

The ergonomically designed handles are capped and offer maximum comfort and maneuverability. The steel shafts extend all the way to the striking cap; therefore, you can use the screwdrivers as a chisel without damaging the blades.

The blades have shot blast tips for maximum grip and feature a hexagonal design, which makes it easy to attach a wrench in case you require more torque. The whole screwdriver set is heavy, weighing a total of 12 pounds.

As it turns out…

The May66306 performs much better than expected considering its price. The soft, triangular handles provide great grip and they will not tire your hands as you work. If you’re looking for a screwdriver set that’s close to the professional models but at a lower price, this is the way to go.

Features

• Set includes five Phillips screwdrivers and five slotted screw heads
• Comfortable triangular handles with capped ends
• Hexagonal blades for more torque when needed
• Shafts extend all the way to striking cap
• Features shot blast tips

The Williams 100P-19MD is a 19-piece screwdriver set that comes with a wide-ranging assortment of screwdrivers to handle most of the common jobs at home, including fixing your car. The kit includes ten slotted screwdrivers and nine Phillips.

In case you have used Snap-On screwdrivers before, these are identical to the old models before they changed the handle design. The only difference is they’re about 1/8 inches longer.

All the handles have a triangular design, which we found to be great in terms of grip, even when working in greasy conditions. The handles have a textured, comfortable grip with a thumb stop that boosts torque and avoids slipping. The whole unit weighs 5.9 pounds.

The Williams 100P-19MD is manufactured in the USA; however, the carrying case is manufactured in China. Even so, the case is made of good quality materials and it holds everything nicely where it needs to stay.

We found the blades in this set to be sturdy and some of them long enough to reach even the deepest screws. Nonetheless, they are not strong enough to be used as a chisel as some of us are guilty of doing. The shafts have hexagonal sections that you can use with a wrench for more torque. The tips of the shafts have also been ridged which offers better grip. We were also able to clean the smooth handles and cylindrical shafts much more easily compared to other brands.

Features

• Set contains a wide range of screwdrivers to get different jobs done
• Williams™ grip handle is comfortable with thumb stop allows for more torque without slipping
• Triangular designed handle offers maximum comfort grip even with greasy hands
• Made in the USA

The Wera Kraftform Kompakt is a German engineered and made screwdriver set that comes with 33 different pieces. These include 32, 3½ -inch bits that encompass six hexagonal bore-hole bits, three Phillips bits, three spanner bits, three Torx bits and three tri-wing bits. The pouch includes a bit holding set as well as long bits that can be interchanged easily. The bit holder comes with a quick-release feature that makes for both easy and fast one-handed bit removal and insertion.

All the handles are designed ergonomically, and we loved how they fit nicely in your hands while offering high torque transfer. If you purchase this set, you will enjoy Kraftform’s limited lifetime warranty. The kit weighs only 1.6 pounds.

When the Wera Kraftform Kompakt arrives in the appealing, compact, and well-padded pouch that holds everything tightly in place, you’ll recognize the attention to detail immediately. The quality of each tool is impossible to top.

Here is the truth:

The bits are precisely made and of great quality – we didn’t notice any wear and tear even under heavy use. However, they will rust if left in a wet environment.

The set does not feature as many flat-head screws as many people would expect, but you will find extra PZ, Hex, and Torx screws. This is common in sets manufactured in the EU. The whole pouch is only as big as the palm of your hand.

No wonder…

This set is perfect for engaging small screws like those found on electronics and toys.

Features

• Includes Kraftform bit holding screwdriver set with 32, 3 ½-inch long bits,
• Casing for easy transport and storage

The 16-piece Precision screwdriver set from Tacklife is a useful piece of equipment to have around the house. It contains three hexagonal screwdrivers, three socket pieces, four Phillips screw heads, and six slotted screwdrivers with one rotated rod.

We found this set great especially for anyone seeking to repair anything with tiny screws such as electronics, toys, and jewelry. The shafts are made from heat-treated chrome vanadium steel and they look very durable.

The tips have a corrosion-resistant, black oxide finish and are fluted, which makes it easy to handle them. There is also a 360-degree swivel-head handle that’s extremely useful for precision jobs. The whole kit weighs 14.9 pounds.

In the advertisement pictures, this set looks a bit small.

But it isn't.

The biggest drivers are about 7 inches long and the small ones are four inches. They can fit perfectly even if you have large hands. Unlike many sets out there, this one includes nut drivers and the units are indicated in metric format.

By the way…

We found the storage case a bit huge, but this is not a deal breaker. The set is perfect for handling all the small and precision tasks at home.

On that note…

If you need to open bigger screws, however, this is not the set for you.

Features

• Includes 16 different screwdriver types and sizes
• Shafts are made from chrome vanadium steel for durability
• Blades are hard tempered with the tips covered with black-oxide for longevity and durability;
• Corrosion resistant shafts
• Shafts are plated and fluted for a solid grip
• Includes a 360-degree swivel-head handle for better control
• Includes a hexagonal screwdriver with a hole for increased torque when used with the rotating rod
• Comes in a large plastic storage case to keep everything organized

The GearWrench 8940 Ratcheting screwdriver set is well worth the money for anyone looking for a versatility in his or her tools. This 40-piece set comes with thirty drive bits consisting of both flat and Phillip type tips, three different handle types (standard, T-shaped and stubby), two-socket driver shafts, two magnetic bit driver shafts, a flexible socket driver shaft and an adapter for joining different driver shafts.

We found the T-handle great for working on devices with many Torx and Allen screws such as a motorbike. The stubby handle allows you to utilize the longer shafts to form a very useful screwdriver. We found the large handle to be too huge for most household tasks, but it’s still a great addition to have.

The screwdrivers are fitted with fine tooth ratcheting technology and it provides more strength and a smooth ratcheting arc. For easy grip and high torque, the handles are contoured and feature a dual durometer design.

When working with this set, you’ll notice most of the drivers are on the heavy side considering the size. This is not such a bad thing, especially because the heavier the devices, the higher the quality.

However…

It does not apply in this case since some of the shafts can get twisted easily. In addition, the stubby ratchet handle is a bit frustrating to use since its direction can be easily changed accidentally. For those finding it hard to pick the specific bits from the case, use the magnetized sockets over the bit and they will come off as easily as magic.

Features

• Ratcheting screwdriver set with forty pieces
• Easy to use thanks to the fine-tooth ratcheting technology
• Various interchangeable shafts allow easy access to any screw head
• Contoured handles improve grip and reduce fatigue
• High-quality blow-molded case

The Capri Tools Mechanic’s 16-piece Screwdriver Set is a professional set of tools that contains 16 of the most utilized screwdriver heads. Our kit arrived with eight slotted heads ranging from 1/8 x 4 inches to 5/6 x 8 inches and eight Phillips from #0 x 4 inches to #3 x 8 inches all in perfect condition.

In general, we noticed the set is built from a very high-quality material. Its handles are rather large and made to be non-slip. They provide the necessary torque even under greasy conditions.

They’re also acid and grease resistant, making this set great if you work under such conditions.

The shafts are made from S2 premium steel that is shock resistant, and even tougher than chrome vanadium. It does not seem like it would bend even under heavy use. The shaft has a dark, corrosion-resistant coating that prevents glare and reduces eye fatigue. The whole kit weighs 4.05 pounds. You can view the set in this video.

Capri’s 16 piece screwdriver set lives up to its expectations of being of very good quality and strong even under heavy use. The tips did not show any kind of denting even as we drove one into hardwood and it hit a nail. The magnetic tips also work great, holding the screw squarely in place when needed, and after you are done, everything fits nicely back in the case.

Here’s the catch:

The only issue we noticed with Capri products is quality control. There are many complaints from various customers who received a set with defective parts such as bent shafts. The product is manufactured in China.

Features

• Contains 16 pieces of magnetic-tipped slotted and Phillips screwdrivers in either short or long sizes
• The composite non-slip handle provides 30% more grip in normal conditions, and 100% more grip in greasy conditions compared to traditional screwdrivers
• Oil, grease, and acid resistant handles
• Shafts are made of tough, shock-resistant, premium S2 steel
• Features a protective black oxide finish that protects the shaft from corrosion as well as preventing glare and reducing eye fatigue

We found the Channellock SD-7CB to be an excellent set of screwdrivers that are comfortable to use even for extended periods. The seven-piece kit comes with four slotted screwdrivers ranging between ¼ x 4 inches to 3/8 x 8 inches and three Phillips screwdrivers ranging between #1 x 4 inches to #3 x 6 inches. The shafts are made of strong Go-Thru steel that has magnetized tips to hold screws well in place when working.

It also features triangular hand-mold design handles that provide all the torque and grip you will ever need. Channellock has made it easy to pinpoint the screwdriver you want by laser etching the size and type on top of each handle. The whole set weighs approximately 3 pounds.

All the components of the Channellock SD-CB have a quality and sturdy finish. At first, the triangular handles may feel a bit funky.

But once you get used to it…

You’ll realize that they work much better than the traditional ones. Click here to watch the video.

Now get this:

You are not supposed to use screwdrivers for chiseling, however, these have very strong steel caps at the end of the handles that can be struck hard without destroying the blades. The only issue we noticed is that the blades lose their magnetism too quickly,

Nevertheless…

This should not be a deal breaker. We recommend this set for anyone seeking to complete some routine tasks at home or in the office due to the limited number of screwdrivers in the set.

Features

• Contains 4 slotted/flat screw heads and 3 Phillips screwdrivers
• Shafts have magnetic tips
• Shafts are made from Go-Thru steel blades
• Triangular handle grips provide high torque
• For easy identification, handles have steel caps laser etched with the type and size
