I could use those!

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, it must be electrical.

I have both the Williams and the USA made Tekton.  Both cost more for fewer flat head (that made me go out and get the long oops, bottom radiator hose clamp one) and the not a screwdriver, but straight flat prybar, separate.
I have seen some of these separate, and they remind me of a cross between Craftsman and Xcellites, that my dad has.

Sorry to spend your money.

I have  few of those Proto yellow handles myself and favor them. The only down side to the set shown is all straight blades, no Phillips drivers.
You boys better hold on cause I'm gonna have to stand on it!

Not a downside if you reread the first post.

I would recommend the Wilde screwdriver set HJE currently has on closeout if you want some tough flat blade drivers.
If you don't need phillips you can just leave them out because they are in a single listing of individual drivers so you can pick and choose.

You probably saved  a bunch of money  by buying them individually.  I just have no idea of the sizes you needed.


Now does anyone know where to buy an 18-24" flat blade pry bar anymore (not bent tip)?

 just out of your size range. john deere tool # ty26147, 25 inches long straight shank.

i think it is the same one i have. john deere is actually a pretty decent  place to get pry bars. they have the illusive small one, about 8-10 inches long if i recall all the way up to i think 41 inches. they have typically been us made. my guess is wilde but  can't say for sure.
