Finally, a set of small tipped screwdrivers that have long shafts and proper handles! I've been coping with the typical cheap set of "jeweler" screwdrivers for years, and the tiny slippery metal handles make them difficult to use with tight screws.
These are the nicest small 'precision' screwdrivers I've seen. They have a relatively 'full sized' handle (comparable to a small handle for a normal screwdriver) that has a slightly soft plastic grip. The ends of the handles rotate, making it easy to rotate them one handed.
The screwdrivers are well made and the tips are all nicely shaped and machined. The shafts are nice and thin and relatively long, so they should work well for tight areas or screws in small holes.
I would have liked to see two different phillips sizes, but the included size should work for most situations.
Very nice set that will replace my cheap ones. I'm glad I found them!

As an electrician I'm a bit perplexed just when I might encounter screws so small I might need these but they might be useful for an electronic technician working with very small components or for things like working on eyeglasses or jewelry. I noted with interest that only one of the reviews referred to anything regarding electrical. In any event, at $2 a throw you can't go too wrong and sooner or later you might encounter a situation in which they will save the day.

Definitely a commercial feel to these screwdrivers. Nicely balanced and long enough to easily work with. Too often screwdrivers of this size are tiny and difficult to work with. These, on the other hand, are excellent for working with small screws normally countersunk in a small opening. I also use them to adjust the small screw on irrigation sprinklers (which increases/decreases distance), additionally, I can tighten a coil door stop by removing the plastic cap and directly tightening the Phillips screw.

Recommended with Caution.
"Made in China" I shouldn't have to say anymore: The "quality" of goods coming from China is to say the least pitiful, cheap and one gets what they pay for HOWEVER... there is one silver lining for some of the poor quality goods no matter where made; for these screw drivers if one is in a bind, low on funds, these tools will do the job until one can do better.
Three of the palm twist are fairly loose with a little stick. This wouldn't be an issue with standard size screw driver, but with delicate one is likely not wishing to push too hard on whatever they are working on. The fourth palm twist is stiff and sticky (not good).
Otherwise these little screw drivers as I said will get the job done. Plastic seems sturdy enough and the rub nonslip strips on the handle is appreciated.
Recommend if one doesn't mind quality or until one can purchase better.
