Interesting.
I looked and all I saw available online were some 4pc sets of large drivers so I assumed they were NOS or something.

No pics because it's too dark now, but I got the Channellock screwdriver sets in and overall I do like 'em.
The handles don't feel bad in any way, the handle sizes are appropriate,  and they provide a secure grip.
I wouldn't rave about the handles but they work.
You could probably get some good torque on the p3 and large flat blade without straining your hand a lot.

The low cost definitely shows, but I think the average homeowner could get a lot of use out of 'em without issue.

I put them ( minus the longer p2 p0 and 2 longer 1/4 types ) into the toyo ST350 house / go box in place of the Pratt-Read essentials, and I think I'll be happier with them.
The stubbies, 6-1, and the 2 large drivers were something the P-R essentials series doesn't offer.
Plus they match the 5 pairs of pliers from CHANNELLOCK I've got in it  :)

I don't like them as much as I really like the Tekton handles, but I do like these and the 6 different handle sizes are all very appropriately sized.


Overall I would say these are like a better version of the Craftsman drivers.
The P-R shanks / tips are better than the late WF made drivers were, and these have good handle sizes with a better shape.
The shot blasted tips add a tad bit of extra grip too which is nice.

They are worth what I payed but they are clearly a budget tool.
